that_o be_v weak_a and_o sick_a by_o reason_n of_o too_o various_a and_o too_o much_o nourishment_n who_o deceive_v themselves_o and_o go_v a_o contrary_a way_n from_o the_o cure_n seek_v spirituous_a

be_v far_o better_a better_a for_o their_o health_n and_o better_a for_o the_o prolong_n of_o their_o day_n which_o appear_v in_o this_o that_o the_o most_o austere_a and_o abstemious_a sort_n of_o

more_o to_o a_o healthful_a and_o long_a life_n abstinence_n add_v a_o light_a body_n agile_a and_o fit_a for_o any_o employment_n for_o where_o the_o diet_n be_v moderate_a proportion_v to_o the_o body_n the_o temper_n the_o season_n there_o the_o concoction_n the_o work_n of_o the_o stomach_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a and_o so_o the_o blood_n also_o good_a and_o the_o humour_n pure_a untainted_a and_o fit_a for_o motion_n fit_a for_o god_n service_n especial_o fit_a for_o currere_fw-la for_o those_o service_n that_o require_v a_o quick_a dispatch_n that_o be_v for_o the_o best_a and_o noble_a action_n that_o can_v well_o be_v achieve_v by_o a_o troublesome_a body_n with_o which_o i_o will_v close_v up_o those_o thing_n which_o abstinence_n bring_v to_o the_o body_n but_o abstinence_n stretch_v her_o virtue_n far_o still_o be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o whole_a man._n and_o first_o she_o derive_v safety_n and_o vigour_n to_o the_o sense_n for_o instance_n where_o there_o be_v no_o crude_a deflux_n into_o the_o nerve_n and_o organ_n of_o hear_v and_o see_v there_o the_o sight_n and_o hear_v must_v ordinary_o be_v more_o last_a and_o more_o accurate_a and_o exact_a unless_o it_o be_v extinct_a and_o decay_v by_o age_n or_o study_v or_o some_o accident_n 2._o nor_o do_v she_o stay_v at_o the_o sense_n the_o affection_n themselves_o participate_v of_o that_o good_a that_o proceed_v from_o abstinence_n anger_n lust_n and_o melancholy_a must_v needs_o be_v abate_v when_o their_o ordinary_a fuel_n that_o keep_v in_o the_o fire_n be_v take_v away_o grief_n fear_v and_o heaviness_n must_v needs_o be_v correct_v when_o those_o humour_n that_o feed_v they_o be_v draw_v dry_a thus_o do_v abstinence_n charm_v the_o rage_a spirit_n make_v a_o man_n affable_a

3._o the_o benefit_n of_o abstinence_n go_v yet_o far_o extend_v itself_o to_o the_o memory_n and_o understanding_n for_o whereas_o intemperance_n send_v up_o a_o cold_a obstructive_a humour_n that_o possess_v the_o brain_n and_o so_o dull_v the_o memory_n and_o apprehensive_a faculty_n that_o both_o of_o they_o weak_o apprehend_v and_o hardly_o retain_v on_o the_o contrary_a a_o just_a and_o moderate_a abstinence_n quicken_v the_o wit_n sharpen_v the_o invention_n and_o judgement_n as_o far_o as_o the_o constitution_n be_v capable_a and_o make_v the_o spirit_n and_o apprehension_n true_a and_o pure_a instar_fw-la speculi_fw-la so_o that_o both_o the_o species_n of_o earthly_a thing_n and_o the_o contemplation_n of_o heavenly_a be_v more_o to_o the_o life_n and_o so_o illuminate_v as_o a_o intemperate_a muddy_a brain_n can_v be_v for_o anima_fw-la sicca_fw-la anima_fw-la prudens_fw-la wisdom_n dwell_v not_o where_o the_o vapour_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n have_v too_o much_o to_o do_v 4._o nay_o abstinence_n fly_v high_a yet_o it_o make_v our_o prayer_n our_o meditation_n our_o devotion_n less_o distract_v more_o facile_a more_o intent_n more_o delightsome_a and_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o prime_n and_o inward_a foundation_n so_o of_o secondary_a and_o external_a thing_n abstinence_n give_v the_o great_a advantage_n to_o all_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a virtue_n so_o many_o help_n do_v it_o supply_v so_o many_o obstacle_n do_v it_o remove_v in_o every_o christian_a and_o religious_a employment_n therefore_o let_v not_o so_o much_o be_v cram_v in_o for_o the_o vegetant_fw-la as_o shall_v not_o only_o endanger_v the_o whole_a body_n but_o hinder_v all_o the_o superior_a faculty_n the_o senfe_v the_o affection_n the_o memory_n the_o understanding_n and_o devotion_n too_o but_o rather_o let_v we_o use_v that_o christian_a abstinence_n without_o which_o we_o can_v be_v so_o fit_v to_o run_v the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o that_o in_o the_o end_n we_o may_v win_v the_o prize_n and_o crown_n of_o immortality_n we_o have_v reason_n so_o to_o do_v in_o regard_n of_o those_o advantage_n that_o we_o see_v it_o bring_v to_o the_o body_n and_o to_o the_o soul_n by_o all_o which_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o it_o with_o impartial_a eye_n it_o be_v true_o amiable_a as_o most_o acceptable_a to_o god_n to_o nature_n to_o reason_n to_o virtue_n to_o
