THO' I have no other Design in respect of Brewers then only to save them a great deal of Pains and no small part of their daily Charge and towards the rest of Mankind but an honest and most charitable Intention of Advertizing them what may conduce both to the Health of their Bodies Tranquility of their Minds and Advantage of their Estates yet I am not so Ignorant of the Worlds common usage as not to expect that offering to Disswade from certain inveteral but mischievous Customs I am like to meet with no less than Hate or Reproach or at least Scorn and Contempt from the greatest part of those whose welfare I would gladly promote However as the Conscience of my own Innocence and certain Experience and Knowledge of the Truth of what I Recommend will be a sufficient Buckler against all the Darts of Envy Ingratitude Noise and Folly So I do not Despair but this small Treatise may have the happiness to meet with some few so little wedded to Tradition and their own Humours as to be willing to hearken to the Dictates of Wisdom Reason and Nature wherever they meet them or though communicated in an homely manner by a very weak and imperfect Instrument Methinks there should scarce be any man that hath ever entertained his Thoughts for one half hour in a serious Consideration of his own Structure and how and by what Natural means he doth subsist in this World but must have taken notice that as the Substance of our Bodies suffers a daily Expence Decay or Wasting as well by the action of our own innate or inbread heat prespiration of Spirits and the more pure parts of the Humours thorow the pores of the Skin impressions of the Ambient Air as by the common and more gross Evacuations so there is required a daily supply of Nourishment to repair and make good whatsoever is thus spent of the Store which is provided to support and preserve the Microcosm To this End as outwardly the All-wise and most Bountiful Creator has prepared variety of excellent Foods and Liquors so inwardly he has both given us Reason Wisdom and Knowledge if we will hearken to and exert it to distinguish which of them are at all times best and most requisite for us as also fixed the Members and Organs of our Bodies in their several places and offices to be assisting and subservient to each other in order to the effecting of this admirable Work Of these the Stomach is the first and principal Agent which as it were a Kitchin serves to dress and prepare all Meats that are brought into it and by its Concocting Faculty reduses them into a white milky Substance which is called Chyle which passing thence throughout the lower Orifice of the Stomach into the Intrails having there but a slow passage by reason of many turnings and windings by which the Guts are mutually inclosed and united to the Mesentery it is further digested and seperated and the purer part by the Mesoraick Veins called the Hands of the Liver is thorough the Veins from the Office called Vena Porta carried into the hollow parts of the Liver whereby a higher and more elaborate Concoction is turned into that admirable Balsamick Liquor called Blood This Blood passes from thence into the Vena Cava or great hollow Vein whose Trunk divides it self into two large Branches the one tending downwards to carry blood to the lower parts the other upwards and mounteth even to the Throat dividing again by the way into other Branches one of which fasteneth it self to the right Ventricle of the Heart by which the blood is brought thither from the Liver where being yet higher elaborated and inriched 't is transmuted or carried over to the left Ventricle where the Arteries takes their original which contains the Vital Blood and Spirits whose Office it is to enliven and exercise the Faculties of the Body By other Branches it ariseth into the Brain where the Animal Spirits are made being the Seat of Phansie Reason Judgment and Memory which noble Faculties by those Spirits are exercised as also of all Sense and Motion for from the Brain are all the Nerves or Sinews divided into all the parts which cause a

voluntary Motion in the Body by which it walks stands lyes down labours rises or useth any other Exercise according to the Dictates of the Will which cannot be done without the ministry of the Nerves Thus you see the whole oeconomy of Nature how what is received at the Mouth is turned into Chyle by the Stomach that Chyle into Blood by the Liver Of the purer parts of the Blood are made Vital Spirits by the Heart and Animal Spirits by the Brain all which being thorow the Veins and Arteries like so many Channels or Conduict Pipes conveyed to the principal Member and from thence by abundance of smaller Vessels into every part of the Body Growth and Vigour at least a continual and suitable Supply ought to be thereby communicated to the whole But if what is taken into the Body that is our Meats and Drinks be either improper in quality or too great in quantity it does in either case disturb this curious oeconomy and frustrate Natures Intentions and Operations for as unwholsom Meats and Drinks must needs give an unwholsom Nourishment the Effects always precipitating quality consentaneous to its Causes and every thing delighteth to produce its Simile's so if the Errors be only in quantity which tho' too frequent yet rarely happens without the other the Consequence is still worse Excess in Eating and Drinking laying the Foundations of almost all Diseases for scarce could the Starry Influences Injuries of Insalubrious Air various Seasons of the Year and the like External Accidents have power to beget Diseases unless the Body were predisposed to receive their Effects by ill Humours is the Result of Indigestions and originally caused from the Faculties of the Stomach being abased and perverted for when the Stomach is nautiated with disagreable Food or Drink or over-charged with Excess it cannot conceal and turn such Matters into good Chyle but not being able to contain it long thorow ill Crude as it is into the Intrails which being also oppressed cannot so speedily conveigh thorow them the indigested load but it receiveth there an imperfect alteration and so is by the Veins of the Mesentery drawn away to the Liver which being likewise indisposed at the receipt of such unprepared Matter is as unable to convert the unequal Mass into good Blood but thrusts it out into the larger Veins mixed and infected with evil Humours and from thence to the Heart the Seat of Life which like a Lamp almost drown'd with Oyl is even stifled and overcome thence also it is carried to the Brain the Fountain of Sense and Motion which being clouded with Vapors and superfluous Humours its Faculties are interrupted the brisk and active Phansie clogged and dulled Reason mudled and Judgment vitiated and all the admirable Store-house of Memory oppressed and confounded from these nobler Parts and larger Vessels it is throghout the small ones spread all over the Body every part taking its unhappy share and by reason of the want of its due Concoction in the principal Members cannot give due Nourishment to those parts remote but by these Errors often repeated the Harmony of Nature is every where disturbed and the whole Body made a Magazin of corrupt Humours which like home-bred Traitors in a City are continually ready to let in fierce and cruel Diseases upon the least External Attack or if that be wanting will from their own Malignity as Domestick Rebellions and Insurrections are caused in ill govern'd States creates Disturbances within endangering the Peace both of Body and Mind and even threatning Subversion to the Throne of Life By what has been said it appears of what vast Importance due Consideration and Caution in our Meats and Drinks is not only for the Securing Health of Body Prevention of Diseases but also in order to the obtaining Serenity of Mind and Calm Affections and the improving all our Intellectual Faculties 't is an old Rule The Passions of the Mind follow the Temperatement of the Body for such Diet as you use such will be your Blood and as your Blood is pure or impure such will be your Spirits Natural Vital and Animal and consequently all Functions and Operations of Body and Mind shall suitably be altered Take a man never so modest just and peaceble let him over-charge himself with strong Liquor what a strange Metamorphize altogether incredible did not the lamentable frequency convince us shall it make as if some Body had stoln away the Man and left a Beast or rather a Devil in his shape so do we not daily fee that those who addict themselves to Gluttony tho' not so soon yet in time as certainly as the other lose their Parts and of sharp witty judicious Persons become Fools and stupid Sots But of the Inconveniences of improper Foods and Excess even in the most Innocent I have even at large Treated in other of my Writings not omitting as occasionally to say something thereof here but the main Scope of this present Treatise shall relate to Drink and some particular Foods that may be proper for such as are afflicted with the Stone and Gravel and also the Sorts they ought to forbear not so much to shew the odiousness of that Swinish sin Drunkenness nor in admonishing those who think themselves and are by others numbred amongst the most sober that even they are guilty of great Excess in the quantity of Liquor as well as in the quality which through ill Customs they swallow down beyond the necessity of Nature but especially to take notice of the ill quality of those Liquors that are used by most People arising from their undue Preparations and to shew both the Reasons how and why the same do breed Diseases in Human Bodies as also to offer Remedies whereby the same may be prevented and Drink truly refreshing exhilerated and friendly to Nature made and accommodated to General Use. The first step towards the Generation of the Stone and Gravel as also the Gout Consumption and various other Diseases of the like Nature is the frequent drinking of strong hot sharp intoxicating stale Liquors and fiery prepared Drinks as Beer high boyled with Hops Brandy Rum old Wines especially Claret and Whitewine which for the most part tend towards a Spirit viz. Heat and Sharpness becoming its predominating quality all such Drinks do in such Constitutions by Simile contract and generate in the Passages and Ureters a hard gretty Substance and of a mixt Saturnine Martial Nature which is the first principle and beginning of the Disease called the Stone and all its Symptoms and Attendances Nor is that the only Evil thereby occasioned in the Human Nature for such Liquors do too violently stir up and evaporate the pure essential Spirits and as it were burn up the sweet Oyl or Humour Radicallis the Balsom of Life whereby the Blood becomes Infected with a sharp hot quality and its free Circulation is obstructed which Causes unnatural or burdensom heat in all the External Parts and lays the Seeds of various

Labour and Motion Nay Life it self cannot otherwise be maintained the Blood must always be circulating the Pulse Natures Clock continually striking the Stomach must labour hard in her Kitchin to dress and prepare and separate Aliment for the other Parts the Lungs be busie in Transpiration the Heart sending forth Reserves and new Supplies of Spirits to all the Frontier Garisons and remote Limbs of the Body whilst the Brain is no less solicitous to give the necessary Orders from the Grand Councel held between the Understanding the Will and the Judgment whereunto Intelligence every Minute arrives from the five Sally Ports called the Senses and all their Results are carefully Registred and treasured up by the Recorder Memory nay should the hands grow sluggish and neglect the supplying the Stomach with Food the Mouth would soon be open to upbraid their Laziness from all which 't is a parent as if written with the Sun-beams that standing still or idleness hath no Being in God nor in his Works but all the Elements and other numerous Off-springs do labour with highest Diligence for to manifest the wonderful Mysteries of their Beings which all Mankind ought seriously to consider and by industrious Courses of Life in the Ways of Virtue by which he may advance and bring to light the Treasures of his Soul and good Talants the Lord hath indued him with Idleness being a greater Evil then most imagines it breaks the first Command of God and contradicts the whole Course of Nature and is the Mother of Oppression and Violence a Sin that never goes alone but attended with a black Train of Vices always subject to the gross inferiour Powers and evil Demons which continually prompt him on to commit all kinds of Outrages against God and his Law in Nature and is the first to all Evils There is a reserved Opinion amongst not only both ignorant Country-men but even those that pretend to Learning That at the latter end of Summer about Michaelmass that the Sap or Essential Virtue in Trees does fall down or retreat into the Root and at the return of the Sun in the Spring it ascends again and replenishes the Tree and all its Branches But this is a very fond tho' almost general Error for if this were true the Roots of all Trees would be be indued with a far greater quantity of Juice or Radical Moisture in the Winter than in the Summer whereas the contrary is most evident viz. That there is nothing near so much Juice Moisture or Sap in the Roots of Trees in the Winter as there is in Summer or at leastwise not so much manifested The like is to be understood in the Body and Branches I refer to any Artist and let him separate the Parts Besides there is a great Argument to confute this Error viz. If the Sap that is the Radical Moisture or Essential oyley Property whence Life Growth Light and good Complexion of all Trees arise and takes being should thus descend into the Root and there inhabit all the cold Winter then it were impossible that any of the rest of the Tree should live for when that Essential Virtue or Sap is withdrawn from any Tree or part of a Tree the same will immediately wither rot and perish Animals can as well live and subsist without Blood as a Tree without Sap or any part thereof or of this oyley Moisture But most true it is that at the Declining or Retreat of the Sun and Approach of Winter this Essential Oyl or Sap doth every where Retreat into the main Body or the Root but absconds it self inwardly in e-every Branch or Twig and when it is strong and vigorous the cold and fierceness of the Elements cannot hurt it or the Tree but if it be weak or indisposed for want of sufficient or due Nourishment from the Earth in the Summer before then the Severity of the Season prevails upon it and extinguishes it and forthwith such Twigs Branches or Tree dies and no ascending Sap they talk of from the Root can revive it but if it withstands the Winter rigor by virtue of its Internal Virtue or Radical Moisture then as soon as the glorious Eye of the World and natural Parent of Life returns towards our Zenith with his cherishing Beams and sweet Influences the same is set at Liberty and opens Natures Prisoners unlocks the Doors and opens the Passages and chases away the cold Saturnine Air and warms every thing and makes it Buxom Jocond and Active and by simile kindles and awakens all the chill sleeping good qualities and incorporating its own Virtues invites abroad the Sap or oyley Moisture from the Center and mildly draws it forth to the outermost Parts and Extremities of every Bough and so 't is pusht on to a further Growth and spruces it self up in Leaves and Blossoms and Fruits according to its Kind AN EXPERIMENT For keeping of EGGS THo' it may seem forreign to the Matter yet I shall ●●ving this Opportunity adventure to Communicate to the World another Notion which I perswade my self is not commonly known That Eggs are an excellent sort of Food both by themselves raw eaten with good Bread being the best way and to the greatest advantage and also they serve to make up several sorts of Spoon-meats and Dishes no Body can deny and great improvement might be made of them by Persons that go long Voyages to Sea were it not that they have been told they will not keep The truth is we find most of the Eggs that are brought from Scotland or Ireland are musty by that time they arrive here But I must crave leave to say that it is not the time but the ill keeping of them that makes them naught I mean because they are crowded up in Holes and close Vessels and debarred from the Air for I have kept Eggs three four or five Months lying open upon a Shelf or the like in an open airy Room and proved as good as if but new laid and as I doubt not but any Body may do the like so I am apt to think they may hold good at Sea tho' in hot Climates if you afford them Air enough full as long nay perhaps for six or seven Months which might easily be done by contriving Wicker Baskets with several Stories or Frames one above the other and open between on which the Eggs might lye one by one without danger of breaking and so might many times be exposed to the brisk Air on the Decks and at other times set in Cabbins Thus any Man that loves not Salt Sea Diet most apt to breed the Scurvy may victual himself with two or three hundred of Eggs for a Voyage Thus Eggs might be brought out of Scotland not to be sold as now they are cried Twelve a Groat when they are good for nothing and you cannot have above half so many good ones for that Mony but at a good Rate and prove a profitable Commodity These also poor House-keepers might about
