of_o the_o body_n the_o live_a creature_n will_v always_o have_v a_o appetite_n and_o never_o leave_v eat_v therefore_o god_n have_v so_o frame_v those_o creature_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o

but_o a_o very_a little_a but_o god_n have_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o salt_n and_o of_o sundry_a fort_n of_o sauce_n and_o spice_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v make_v to_o have_v a_o pleasant_a taste_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n also_o which_o be_v clean_o contrary_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o evil_a taste_n as_o gall_v and_o wormwood_n or_o else_o because_o of_o the_o hurt_n which_o they_o may_v bring_v with_o they_o as_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v venomous_a and_o very_a poison_n but_o god_n have_v very_o well_o meet_v with_o this_o

certain_a quality_n which_o we_o call_v relish_v or_o taste_v that_o be_v contrary_a and_o very_a unpleasant_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v as_o likewise_o he_o have_v give_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v healthful_a and_o good_a to_o nourish_v a_o relish_n that_o be_v agreeable_a and_o pleasant_a unto_o our_o taste_n this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v if_o our_o taste_n be_v not_o

than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n so_o likewise_o the_o sense_n of_o sight_n agree_v with_o the_o fire_n and_o that_o of_o hear_v with_o the_o air_n as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v it_o and_o as_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v it_o agree_v both_o with_o the_o fire_n and_o with_o the_o thick_a air_n because_o smell_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o heat_n as_o smoke_n be_v by_o fire_n which_o

and_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v apt_a to_o nourish_v the_o body_n for_o we_o can_v live_v without_o the_o help_n of_o many_o thing_n among_o which_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v chief_a because_o that_o as_o hunger_n require_v meat_n so_o thirst_n desire_v drink_v we_o must_v therefore_o understand_v that_o this_o soul_n and_o life_n which_o be_v call_v vegetative_a or_o nourish_a and_o which_o be_v common_a to_o man_n with_o all_o other_o live_v creature_n have_v two_o principal_a instrument_n in_o the_o body_n life_n namely_o heat_n and_o humidity_n of_o which_o heat_n be_v first_o

a_o lamp_n to_o moisten_v the_o meat_n to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o fire_n shall_v not_o consume_v it_o so_o quick_o and_o because_o it_o must_v always_o be_v keep_v burn_v otherwise_o the_o light_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o life_n will_v die_v together_o with_o it_o it_o must_v have_v new_a matter_n continual_o minister_v unto_o it_o as_o it_o be_v to_o a_o fire_n that_o can_v always_o
