serum being boyled away and so is apt to obstruct the veines if caseous it nourisheth much but is lesse wholsome if butyrous it 's somewhat more viscous more difficultly distributed and causeth inflations if serous it nourisheth least but presently passeth through the belly if of lean beasts it nourisheth little if of fat it causeth danger of a convulsion if of black it 's better than that of white beasts if milked after delivery that which is most liquid and thin is after more thickned the best is that which is tepid of equall substance not quickly running off the naile if put thereon light not viscous but sweet without smell white somewhat shining and taken from a sound beast of good feeding that hath good dugs The most usuall are the womans which is the best the cowes is thicker fatter more nutritive obstructive and hardly concocted the sheeps is worse and obstructeth more the goats is a little hotter than the former of a thinner substance more nourishment and sooner passeth away the mares is very thin hot and detersive the asses is colder than the rest thinner and more serous lesse nutritive and obstructing and cleanseth without acrimony and mord●eity of all which see more in their proper places here note that the milk of any beast chewing the cud is bad for rheumes coughs feavers headach obstructions inflammations sore eyes shaking sinewes young men cramps convulsions the stone teeth the camels is the best of those that chew not the cudde being sweetest and thinnest also all is thinnest in the spring and thickest in the summer and that of horned beasts is not to be eaten uns●dden it so not curdling or easily engendring wind but that of women asses or mares will never curdle into any hard substance raw the other is to be seasoned with salt sugar or hony abstaining from wine or foure things after it eating it upon an empty stomach and fasting an houre after it abstaining from exercise and sleep after that of beasts chewing the cud and cleansing the teeth after it it 's best for children and old men in the marasinus atrophie and phthisick and the camels for the first the womans for the second and asses for the third being of a middle age kept cleane fed with grinded malt and a little fennel seed then drink the milk morning and evening with sugar of roses also shee is to be kept in fine leaze or with good hay in winter and red cowes milk may be the substitute so fed also milk is in active qualities temperate inclining to cold in the passive moist by the fat and watry substance thickning by the cheesy abstersive by the serous and asswaging by the butyrous quality and the best is soon turned into blood and fattens the healthfull and clean but is soon soured in cold stomacks adust in the chollerick and swels the stomach and guts The whey as to its aqueous substance and phlegmatick doth refrigerate and moisten and cleanseth as to that which is sharp salt and bilious The butter helpeth the breast and lungs bringeth forth spittle helpeth hot and dry coughs if taken much it looseneth the belly and hath a faculty of digesting discussing concocting and gently evacuating but if old it groweth acrimonious also butter is hot and moist 1° and almost of the same nature as oile of ripe olivers but it 's more moist than hot the stale is hotter and thinner and the new almost temperate in the active qualities it nourisheth and fattens if too much used it loosens hurts retention of the stomach takes away the appetite and begets a naufeousnesse and it 's therefore to be avoided by those who are subject to loosenesse as also by men of hot complexions who turn it into choller it is to be eaten first it quickly descending into the belly and making way for other meats but if it be eaten last it loosens the stomach and hinders the orifice from embracing the meat and closing up hastning meat into the belly before it be concocted it 's rheumatick and easily converted into oily fumes hurtfull to the throat and head and fluxes of blood humours or sperme and it 's rather to be used as sawce and physick than as meat to feed upon it 's best at breakfast tollerable at the beginning of dinner but no way good at supper it hindring sleep and sending up unpleasant vapours to annoy the brain it is also best for children whilest they are growing and for old men decaying but unwholsome betwixt those two ages hot stomachs turning it into choller and the weak not concocting it it floating in the stomach the fattest is made of sheeps milk the strongest of goats milk and the best and most of cowes milk of which see more afterwards The creame which is either the flower of raw milke taken from it without fire after it hath stood in a cold place or the other from it when sod or clouted creame the first of which though pleasant yet weakeneth concoction hindereth retention and is of harder digestion than any milk the last used in tarts fooles and custards is lesse offensive and of better nourishment but it 's to be eaten first it being light and unctuous some count the former to be like butter and to agree with it in vertues and qualitie the other is of thick juyce helps hot defluxions and watching The curds which are fresh without salt or runnet or the other with the one or both are both utterly unwholsome when of skimmed milke clamming the stomach stopping the veines and passages speedily breeding the stone and many mischiefes but if they be equally mixed with the butterish part the cheese made thereof is wholsome except age or ill ordering hath done hurt The cheese if new sweet and fresh nourisheth much the middle aged nourisheth strongly but the old and dry hurteth dangerously it stopping siege obstructing the liver causing the stone choller and melancholy lying long in the stomach undigested procuring thirst making a stinking breath and a scurvy skin so that no more thereof is to be eaten than to close up the mouth of the stomach after meat though the fresh may be eaten more liberally of as to the Differences the good is neither too soft or hard close or spongy clammy or crumbling salt or unsavory dry or weeping pleasantly or strongly smelling easily melting in the mouth and never burning when tosted at the fire Also that of ewes milke is soonest digested that of cowes more nourishing and the goats most when new and soft for it soon becomes dry earthy and crumbling the best is counted that of Banbury Cheshire the Holland cheese with salt Also the old is hot and acrimonious when new cold moist more windie lesse provoking thirst and binding making fat helping the stomach easily distributed yet hard of digestion causing the stone c. the stinking is worst the sharp and salt is hot and dry and causeth thirst and evil juyce the sower is of evil juyce and

the Manner of eating it is to be with fine chewing leisurely sitting upright for an houres time or lesse except longer time be confirmed by custom or alleviated by pastime or discourse but the time of sitting is not to be very long or short that the meat may descend and not too hastily settle Here also the Custome and delight in the use of meats is to be observed the usuall being more profitable though not so good and that not only in the substance but quality quantity and time of eating also and if it be changed it must be by degrees and the most pleasing is to be used In respect of Age the meat and diet of children should be cold and moist given in a great quantity it 's to be midling in quantity and quality for youths and young men and cold and moist and it must be lesse for old men According to the Season of the year in Winter it must be copious hot and dry and drink more sparing and wine pure in the Spring it must be moderate in quantity and quality more hot and copious than in summer but lesse than in winter in Summer it must be cold and moist small in quantity but with more drink in Autumne it must be fuller hotter and dryer than in summer and lesse at the beginning than at the latter end And this is to be observed the Spring being temperate in a mean between the first qualities or moderately hot and moist the Summer is hot and dry Autumne is cold and dry Winter cold moist they produce diseases accordingly a hot air attenuating dissolving and weakening the cold thickning binding and helping concoction the moist softning increasing excrements and making dull the dry diminishing excrements making agile and quickning and the cloudy filling with ill humours and spirits Also that the aforesaid meat or diet may be the more profitable to the body health preserved Motion rest are to be considered exercise exciting natural heat and increasing the spirits and making the body more strong perfecting concoction and causing transpiration and it may be by walking running leaping riding gestation and other wayes but the chief is moderate Walking through green and pleasant places under a serene skie before meat chiefely before dinner and that till the body swell

attenuats by rivers it moistens it 's bad in the dew and in winds it 's according as it 's said of them before as they alter the aire if in the sun it hurts the head but it 's good under mirtles bay-trees amongst sweet herbs in fair weather if in the morning it loosens quickens and helps appetite and moist bodies in the evening it prepares for sleep helps inflations but hurts the head a little after meat is good to help descent Standing if upright hurts weak backs inflamed or ulcerated reines if before meat it draws down excrements strengthens the leggs but hurts the vertiginous if after meat moderate it helps descent if long it sends up vapours draws down humours hurts the breast bladder in the shade sun it 's as in walking Riding if slow makes weary if swift seldom it causeth lust hurts the breast if trotting it hurts the back parts but helps the reines if rūning it too much heats dulls the senses offendes the eyes Gestation increaseth heat discusseth draws down excrements causeth sleep if in a coach if gētly it helps diseases of the head fluxes the sight if looking back if fast it makes lean in a horslitter it 's good after meals and for the sick as for the nature of Rest it may hēce appear And as for Sleeping watching they are no lesse to be regarded moderate sleepe helping concoction restoring lost strength moistening the body helping old men but if immoderate it loosens the members causeth ill colour habit makes the head heavy fills it full of vapours humours dulls natural heat makes unfit for exercise now the time that is most convenient for it is the night 1 or 2 houres after supper after a gentle walk to help descent of meat And it 's hurtful at noon except great labour did precede or sicknesse or weaknesse or wearinesse watchfulnesse or to recal the heat to the internal parts in a hot day if usual then it must be very long or short the body being upright and that after dinner a gentle walk being used it must be the longer the weaker the
