leaden pipes or wooden are not wholesom and therefore Cistern Water is not good being alienated from its native goodness and tinctured by the lead Considering then the conditions of Water used both for drink and dressing of meat in many or most Cities and great Towns of England especially here in London we need not wonder that the Scurvey is so predominant lying under the inconvenience and injuries of bad Water which is none of the least procurers of that Disease Lakes Ponds or Pits and such like standing Waters are not wholesom for the Body Snow water and Ice put into drink to cool it is practised in some hot Countries and here in England it is used by some in Summer time being kept under ground for this purpose but it is a pernicious custom And now I pass on to another sort of Drink of frequent use and great reputation in the World for many hundred years and that is Wine Wine is an excellent liquor allowed and given by the Creator for the use of Man but not as a common and daily drink but for special uses and occasions requiring that is to cheer the drooping mind and refresh the decaying infirm Body for which it being seasonably and discreetly used is very helpful and beneficial to mankind Wine is both aliment and medicament a great refresher of decayed nature it nourisheth the Body and exhilarates the mind 't is a good cordial it strengthens the stomach and disposeth to sleep it restores the spirits dejected or weak and is helpful to old Age. But on the contrary if it be immoderately unseasonably and constantly used it turns much to the prejudice of Body and mind by subverting the natural vital heat alienating the crases of the parts and offending the Nerves and farther the intemperate use of Wine disturbs the brain and lessens the understanding dulls the wit and raseth the memory Vino forma perit vino corrumpitur aetas Propert. There are several sorts of Wine differing much from one another in goodness and worth so likewise in tast colour consistence and smell being of the growth of several Countries and places differing in Climate or soil which to examine and compare by a particular and exact account of each would be too tedious and not so necessary and useful for the Reader therefore briefly and more generally you may make choice of Wine thus as may best sute with the nature and condition of your Body The Wines most usual and frequently drank here in England are Sack White Wine Claret and Rhenish The white thin and acid Wines are attenuating abstersive and diuretick as the French White Wine and the Rhenish The sweet Wines are most nourishing cordial and comfortable and of these the thick dark Wines as the Muskadell nourish more than the thin clear Wines as the Canary The austere and rough Wines as Claret and red Wine are restrictive The strong spirituous Wines are apt to offend the head by raising fumes and vapours but temperate and smaller Wines will not cloud the Brain and are better for a frequent use But if Wine be too strong or to supply the place of common drink and used as Beer for quenching thirst then it is best to dilute and mix it with Water two three or four parts to one of Wine and allay it to what temperature you please as your body does best require Wine more often offends the Body by quantity than quality if it be natural and pure from the grape and more suffer by the adulteration and abusive mixture than by the natural ill properties decays and degeneration of the Wine in it self Malaga Sack is accounted by some to be restaurative and appointed for that purpose to weakly and consumptive people but since it is heavy and clogging upon the stomach I cannot recommend it for that intention but prefer others before it Canary Sack is much before the Malaga for richness and goodness and more agreeable to the stomach also nourishing and very refreshing to nature Sherry Sack is a wholesom and good stomach Wine and better at meat than any other Sack being abstersive and hard not a satiating Wine but does whet and provoke the stomach to eating and also helps forward digestion Rhenish Wine is a very wholesom liquor penetrating opening and provoking urine fittest for fat and full bodied people but lean spare and thin persons will agree better with feeding and fatning Wines as Canary Muskadell Tent and such like White Wine is searching cleansing and opening and comes nearest to Rhenish in qualities but is inferiour in goodness but neither of them are good and rather injurious to such as are molested with arthritick pains and rheumatism or otherwise troubled with any defluxion of a sharp serous or waterish humour Claret is fit for meals being a good stomach Wine for the roughness and gentle astriction that is in it which is pleasing to the stomach The Greek Wine Muskadell Tent and such like nourishing Wines being luscious generous and rich in spirit are to be used as cordials and restauratives and not for common drinking Having declared the nature and right use of Wine we proceed now to other liquors used as Drink but of a lower and inferiour rank made also of Fruit which is Cyder and Perry Cyder is the juice of Apples which by Fermentation and due ordering is made fit for keeping and then for Drink This sort of liquor is better or worse as the fruit is of which it is made and from the skill and care of the maker which contributes not a little to its goodness but if it be made of pickt fruit of the best sort not mingled Apples it produceth a choice drink when ripe and fit for drinking coming near to Wine in goodness being strong brisk and clear Cyder for a diversion and change not a common and constant drink may well be used and is very wholesom and good especially for hot dry and costive Bodies and for such it is proper Physick to cool moisten and relax the Belly that is bound up but for cold constitutions phlegmatick windy and waterish stomachs that are too laxative and weak in body for such it is not convenient but rather injurious Perry is produced of Pears after the same manner as Cyder of Apples and is very like in qualities if it be of the best fruit and well made and will serve for the same purposes and require the same cautions that I need not repeat But the common and most usual drinks with us are Beer and Ale Beer made of water malt and hops is very various and in several Countries and Places here in England the Beer hath a different tast one from the other as if they were not made of the same ingredients And this does proceed sometimes from the difference of water or the malt or goodness of the hops or different quantity or Age of the Drink or the Cask or from the Art and management of the Brewer Which being subject to all these
