each other and conducing to the general design of the whole in a compleat order and exquisite method of contrivance promoting and moving one another in their distinct Offices Now if one Wheel goes too fast too slow or stops the rest that depend upon that motion also are disordered and move irregularly So is it in the Body of Man If the Stomach be clogged and the digestion sluggish the supply from thence will not come in due time to the other faculties to operate upon and if the Chyliferous matter sent from the Stomach be not well transmuted and qualified the rest of the digestive faculties cannot so well perform their task because the alimentary matter is not transmitted to them proper and sutable but imperfect aliene and degenerate Most men experimentally and sensibly know that meat and drink transgressing either in quantity or quality or unseasonably taken does abate and injure a good Stomach and depraves the digestion which defect redounds to the detriment of the whole and all the body suffers by it and every faculty in time will share in the prejudice So that of necessity there must be rules observed and bounds set in the use of these things without which mans body is soon put out of frame and the regular Oeconomy thereof discomposed and disordered To prove and illustrate this farther by instance fresh Air is necessary to ventilate the body and chear the spirits of man and he that is pent up within doors is deprived of that great enlivener and refresher of Nature but on the contrary he that is exposed abroad to the night Air is as much damaged as the other and both prove injurious and destructive So that although the open Air be good and necessary for the healthful being of Man yet not at all times not in any condition and upon any terms but sutable and convenient with the state of our bodies as Nature hath appointed for you and not otherwise So likewise for Exercise and Rest Method and Rule is to be observed for if there be not seasons allotted and a moderation used in these they both are destructive though in a contrary way and by different mediums To sleep when you should wake or wake when you should sleep are both injurious and impairing of health to invert the order of Nature by sleeping in the day and watching in the night is incongruous and unsutable with your bodies because it crosseth the designment of Nature When the Sun riseth the spirits of Men are then most apt and fit for Action are then most lively brisk and chearful in their functions but when the Sun sets and the Air is cloathed with darkness the spirits then begin to droop grow more dull and heavy incline to rest retirement and a cessation Now to spur up and rouze the spirits when they naturally would be taking their ease and respite or laying a clog upon them by your sluggishness and somnolent postures when Nature calls upon them for action by darting the glittering light through the Air with which they are affected and raised up these are great injuries and affronts to Nature in acting counter to her commands and institutions for which you must suffer the penalty and that is the forfeiting your health for this unnatural disobedience and these irrational courses These Precautions and Rules I will assure you are not our inventions to curb your darling inclinations and restrain you of your just liberty but they are the Institutions and Law of Nature enjoyned to be observed for your own preservation and well being and as bounds set to check your extravagant pernicious actions and all for the tuition and safety of your life and health and to preserve the regular harmony through the whole course of Nature And although it be an old saying as foolish as common Qui Medicè vivit miserè vivit He that lives strictly by rule lives miserably yet I must affirm the contrary grounded upon pure reason and the preceding discourse that he which does not observe the injunctions the due method and regular course of Nature does both shorten his life and takes away much of the pleasure of it by procuring an uncomfortable and unhealthy body I know Every of you would live long but especially in health you would fain continue and prolong your youth your beauty and ability of parts you are frighted at the thoughts of a wrinkled face or a restless bed an unwholsom diseased body and a decripid loathsom old Age But yet you will not avoid these evils that you so much fear you will not take the pains to prevent them and secure your self you rather take more pains and undergo more trouble to procure them than there can be in avoiding them nay you lose the true pleasure of your life to purchase these Inconveniencies But what those things are which so warily and chiefly you are to observe wherein consists your health and well-being have now been hinted but generally the due method course and cautions you are to take in the use of them particularly shall be handled in their due place and order following SECT V. The choice of Air and Places of Abode Shewing the benefits and injuries that arise from different Air. AIR is so necessary to Life that without it we cannot subsist which surrounding us about and being continually suckt and drawn in must needs affect the body with its conditions and properties and by observation you may find your Body by the various constitutions and changes in the Air to be variously affected well and ill disposed of which infirm parts are most sensible that they prognosticate before an alteration come The mind also by the mediation of the spirits is drawn into consent and hath its dispositions and variations from thence When the Air is close thick and moist the spirits are more dull heavy and indisposed but at the appearance of the Sun and a serene Skie the Spirits are unfettered vigorous and active the mind more chearful airy and pleasant The Spirits are of an aetherial Nature and therefore do much sympathize with the present constitution and change of Air for from the Air drawn in by the motion of the vital parts are the vital spirits ventilated and the blood volatized therefore the pureness of the Air makes much for the purity of the spirits and mass of blood A gross impure and noysom Air obtunds and deads the spirits makes a slow Pulse obstructs the Pores and hinders ventilation generates superfluous humors and causeth putrefaction A serene sweet thin Air perfumes and purifies an unwholsome body cherisheth the heart makes a lively pulse and much enliveneth the vital spirits rarifies and volatizeth a gross coagulate blood opens the pores for transpiration of putrid and offensive vapours acuates and sharpens the Appetite and helps digestion The best Air and most agreeable to temperate bodies is in temperate Climates for heat cold wet and dry not subject to sudden and violent changes as in some parts of America
is that which makes fertile and encreaseth the natural endowments of your mind and preserves them long from decay makes your wit acute and your memory retentive 'T is that which supports the fragility of a corruptible body and preserves the verdure vigour and beauty of Youth 'T is that which makes the Soul take delight in her mansion sporting her self at the Casements of your Eyes 'T is that which makes pleasure to be pleasure and delights delightful without which you can solace your self in nothing of terrene felicities and enjoyments Having cursorily glanced at the excellencies of Health in this short Narrative and Epitome of its worth it remains we should next draw forth and present to your view the doleful condition of sickness and a valetudinary drooping Life shewing you the great difference between that decaying condition and a chearful state of Health which Antithesis will prepare and stir you up to the reasonable strictness of duty make you more cautious and sollicitous for the preservation of your Health and to prize it as the summum bonum your chiefest enjoyment in this Life SECT III. Of Sickness and a Valetudinary State IN the preceding Section having taken a brief survey of natural life in the best estate graced and adorned with the society of health and its great Attendant 〈◊〉 the concomitant benefits priviledges and enjoyments Now take a view of your self when health hath turn'd its back upon you and deserts your company see then how the Scene is changed how you me robb'd and spoiled of all your comforts and enjoyments The want of health makes food to lose its wonted relish and is become disgustful and unsavoury the stomach now refuseth to receive its daily charge no longer able to peform the task but desires a quietus est from the office Sleep that was stretch out from evening to the fair bright day is now broken into pieces and subdivided not worth the accounting the night that before seemed short is now too long and the downy bed presseth hard against the bones Exercise now is toyling and Walking abroad the carrying of a burthen The body that moved so light and readily obeyed the steerage of the Pilot is now over ballac'd with its own weight and slowly tugs as against the stream Conjugal imbraces are now but the faint Offers of love the shadows and representations of former kindness The body that had the magnetism and secret attraction of souls may now be approached without loss or danger of being snared and fettered as a bond-slave The Lily and the Rose that Nature planted in the highest Mount to shew the world her pride and glory is now blasted and withered like long-blown flowers The Eye that flasht as lightning is now like the opacous body of a thick Cloud that rolled from East to West swifter than a Celestial Orb is now tired and weary with standing still that penetrated the Center of another Microcosm hath lost its Planetary influence and is become obtuse and dull The hollow sounding breast that echoed to the chanting Bird and warbled forth delightful tunes now runs divisions with coughing strains and pauses with a deep-fetch't sigh for breath to repeat those notes again The Venal and Arterial Rivulets that ran with vital streams bedewing the adjacent parts with fruitful moisture is now drunk up with parching heat or muddied and defiled with an inundation of excremental humors The want of health converts your House into a Prison and confines you to the narrow compass of a Chamber 't is that which sours the sweetest and most beloved enjoyments 't is that which disunites and breaks the league of copartnership between soul and body alienates and makes them at jarrs discomposes their harmony and makes them weary of their wonted sweet society A sick man is like a Clock out of order and due motion which is of little worth or use so long as it continues in that condition so is Man useless both to himself and others in such a state one Wheel being faulty or defective puts the rest out of order and regularity that depend upon that motion and one part or faculty of Mans body being disordered and irregular several others consent with or share in the discomposure more or fewer as the part is more noble and principal commanding some chief Region of the Body or inferior and of a lower orb or private station The reason of this sympathy and consent of parts is First From the general agent and principle of life which is one and the same throughout the whole Secondly Because all the parts of mans body though they have their peculiar and different motions to themselves and special properties yet they are all concurrent and co-operating co-ordinately or subordinately serving to the general design of Nature and maintenance of the whole body and are so concatenated and linked together in the Oeconomy of office that their motions are dependent and of mutual Concern for each others welfare If the Foot complains the Head is busied for its relief and the Heart suffers until the grief be past and the whole man uneasy until the pain be gone or allayed Thus you see that a diseased valetudinary state is a weary and irksom condition and that Health is the pleasure and contentment of life or rather the life it self Nam vivere non est vita sed valere and since Health is of great value and sickness so deplorable and comfortless I shall shew you how to obtain and preserve the one and how to defend you from the other all which is to be done by the ways and means hereafter following SECT IV. The Method and Means for Preservation of Health HEalth as it is the result of Nature in her integrity and perfection is maintained and kept in that order and due Oeconomy by the regular and right use of those natural supports that our bodies daily require and do depend on in Being as Air Food Sleep Exercise c. Now those things that do necessarily belong and daily attend us ought so to be chosen and managed as does best conduce and sute with the institution of Nature to which they are appointed but if otherwise unseasonably disorderly or immoderately used they then prove pernicious and destructive more or less according to the degree and continuance of their irregularity and incongruousness Nature hath appointed both times and order and set a regular course how and when every thing should be used in its proper mode and season There is a moderation also enjoyned and limits prescribed by Nature in the use of these things which if we exceed and run into excess we then put Nature out of her mediocrity and equality in which course she cannot long continue and that continuance also with much trouble to us by bodily diseases and infirmities the usual and frequent consequents of such irregularities The Body of Man is as a curious Engine or Clock-work moving with divers Wheels and various internal motions subordinate to
ferment of the stomach Honey is nourishing and wholesome more especially good for those that are asthmatick that are molested with Coughs have weak Lungs and short breath It is balsaick clensing and makes the Belly soluble and to sweeten with honey is better than sugar wherein Art is used to refine and whiten it Oil Olive being of an unctuous nature is moderately hot and lubrifies the bowels is wholsome and good especially for cold and phlegmatick Bodies and such as are costive but for hot feavourish Bodies it is not convenient Butter is temperate in it self moistening mollifying and solutive wholesome for sound and clean Bodies but not so good for cholerick and foul Bodies especially being used in sauce Vinegar and sowre juices as of Lemmons Verjuice Oranges and the like are cooling penetrating and incisive they acuate and whet the appetite help the stomach in digestion of grosser meats and give a good relish in eating but the immoderate and frequent use cools dries constringeth and binds the body is hurtful to the Nerves and nervous parts very bad for Women and those that are subject to the Gout Asthma's and stoppings in the breast or in other parts and for lean and dry Bodies Mustard quickens the appetite warms the stomach dries up superfluous moisture helps the stomach in digesting hard meats opens stoppings in the breast and head and good for such as are heavy and cloudy in their Brains Mace Ginger Nutmeg Pepper and Cloves help a cold stomach comfort the heart and brain refresh the spirits by their aromatical odour are grateful upon the Palate and very acceptable to Phlegmatick cold Bodies Cinamon as it excelleth all Spices in odour and sapor so is it most cordial and acceptable to the stomach It is hot and dry acrid and penetrating opens obstructions yet leaving an astriction and roboration upon the parts it comforts and refresheth weak natures Olives pickled are used as sauce and for the pleasant tast of the pickle which is grateful to the stomach they may be eaten moderately without hurt but the Olive of it self is heavy in digestion and not so good Capers are abstersive and opening quicken the stomach and good for those that are splenetick and may freely be used by any that loves them for sauce Broom-buds pickled are wholesome and good and are much like to Capers in their nature to excite the stomach and to open obstructions of the Liver and Spleen Sampire pickled is both wholesome and pleasant to eat with meat it hath an abstersive and diuretick faculty Cucumers are cold and moist being pickled when they are young and little they please the palate excite the appetite and are good Winter-sauce especially for hot stomachs but the great ripe Cucumers usually eaten unpickled are too waterish and unwholsome especially for cold phlegmatick Bodies but Pepper Oil and Vinegar does something correct and mitigate their faults Gillyflowers are moderately hot and dry cordial and good to strengthen the brain being pickled in Vinegar are then a pleasant and wholesome sauce and is so used by some Onions are hot and dry acrid in tast and of ill juice being eaten raw although they provoke the appetite yet they trouble the stomach afterwards and are long in passing off causing unsavoury belchings and a strong breath but being boiled their heat and acrimony is abated and naughtiness corrected giving a good relish to rest or stewed meat especially to broth which Onion makes very savory In the use of the forementioned I shall give this caution that young stomachs and strong healthy bodies which need not a spur to their appetite nor a help to digestion that they frequent not the use of these spices and enticing sauces but reserve them for Age deficiency of stomach and other infirmities for if you accustom your self to them in youth and strength to please your palate and intice your stomach there being no need when the condition of your body does require them you shall not find that benefit and assistance from them which otherwise you might have expected and received had you forborn the use of them when it was not necessary SECT IX Of Milk Milk meats Eggs and Spoon Meats OF Animals come Milk and Eggs for food Milk is the first food of Man and of most if not all four-footed Beasts Milk is bloud digested and altered a second time by the transmuting power of the ubera dugs therefore as the blood is better or worse so is the milk The difference of milk in kind and goodness is various there are five sorts chiefly used by man the womans milk Cows milk Goat Sheep and Asses milk Womans milk as it is most natural to mankind so is it most nourishing and restaurative to weak Consumptive Bodies Cows milk is the next in goodness being fat thick nourishing and most agreeable Sheep and Goats milk are something alike and may be accounted the next in goodness Asses milk is used more physically than for food esteemed helpful to Consumptive people but I have not that opinion of it nor at any time do appoint it The Asse is a heavy melancholy Creature and the milk cannot do such feats as some do imagine Milk is better or worse from the difference of Creatures in specie and in soundness from their feeding or pasture and from the times of the year and of taking it The Beast must be sound the pasture good in the spring it is best and when it is new milkt and upon an empty stomach received Milk in it self is a clean wholsome good food affording much nourishment and light in digestion generally agrees and is desired by all Children and most young folk but this innocent food as it is easily concocted so it is soon corrupted and therefore not convenient for all persons for milk coming into foul Bodies is quickly depraved and makes that Body worse Milk is cooling and moistning both pleasant and good for lean hot and dry Bodies but for cold phlegmatick fat and gross Bodies not so fit To sweeten your milk with honey or sugar is a good custom for it is not then so apt to curdle in the stomach nor to cause obstructions Cream which is the fat of milk is very pleasant in tast but to eat it often is not good After milk eat nor drink of an hour and half nor use exercise to heat the Body Of milk we have Butter and Cheese Whey and Butter-milk New Butter from the hands of a good Housewife with Bread is a very good Breakfast but used as sauce and mixed with different sorts of food is then not so wholsome for the Body being then apt to rise and fluctuate uppermost in the Ventricle relaxing the orifice and disturbing the digestion New Butter-milk out of the Churn is the best Julep for a hot thirsty stomach and for feavourish lean dry and costive Bodies but if it be stale and sour it is not then so friendly and grateful to the stomach Cheese is the worst product of
be eaten by the weaker and tender stomachs without hurt being of a good kind and in their prime The old white Pease are hard in digestion and windy but if they be of a good sort that will boil soft and mealy are then very acceptable to many and not hurtful moderately eaten they are a strong food and very good for strong stomachs SECT XI Of Roots Herbs and Flowers for food Their Qualities and right use CArrots yield a moist cooling and temperate nourishment light of digestion and are very wholesom Turneps are hot and moist affording much nourishment and easily concocted being of a good kind sweet and not strong in tast are then agreeable with most stomachs soluble to the belly and wholesom food Parsneps are temperate in heat and not so moist as the Turnep or Carrot but give a good strong nourishment to the Body and are convenient for all that love them Potato is something like to the Parsnep in qualities but excels it in nourishing and strengthning the body are wholesom and agreeable to all Constitutions Raddish is hot and moist excites the appetite but affords little nutriment and is difficult in digestion not to be commended except to such as are troubled with gravel in the Kidneys it is something diuretick and cleansing those parts Sparagus being pleasant in the mouth and light of digestion is accounted a dainty Dish and reputed a cleanser of the Reins and wholesom but since it makes the urine of those that eat it to have a strong savour I much suspect its goodness and have reason to believe this ill scent to arise from a corrupt transmutation of the Sparagus and not a pre-existing matter sent forth to advantage Artechocks are temperately hot and dry very nourishing and not unwholesom for the weaker sort being soon digested and become restaurative Cabbage and Colewort are temperate loosening something windy and not easy of digestion but those who are lovers of them and have good stomachs finding no trouble in digestion nor belching afterwards may eat thereof and please themselves but tender stomachs had better forbear Coleflower although it hath some affinity with the Cabbage yet it is more wholesom pleasanter in tast lighter of digestion more nutritive and no way hurting the body Spinage is cold and moist and may be eaten in sallad boiled or with broth good for hot costive bodies but not convenient for cold phlegmatick and waterish Constitutions Sage is hot and dry affording no nourishment but gives a relish and very wholsome good for the Head and Nerves and may well be used in the Kitchen when it is proper Lettuce is cold and moist yet not offensive to the stomach nor hurtful to the body it allays the heat and acrimony of cholerick humours and disposeth to sleep such as are too vigilant and have hot dry brains it may profitably be used at convenient times by such bodies as require it in hot seasons of the year and by hot Constitutions Parsley is hot and dry diuretick and opening gives no nourishment but seasons and recommends meat to those that love its tast and is not unwholesom Rosemary is hot and dry and yields no nourishment but is good for the Head and Nerves and all cold Diseases of the Brain and may well be used in the Kitchen when there is occasion Purslane is cold and moist to be eaten in sallad by cholerick stomachs and hot dry Bodies to allay the intemperature of the bloud and better it is if it be pickled than not Burrage and Bugloss are temperately hot and moist cordial and cheering the spirits good for hypochondriack and melancholy persons hurtful to none the custom therefore of putting these into a glass of Wine is very good Sorrell is cold and dry very wholesom for the body and agreeable to the stomach by its pleasant tartness it cools the bloud contemporates choler and allays feavourish heat Sorrel and Lettuce together make a good Sallad Burnet is hot and dry and by its restrictive quality does strengthen the stomach it cheers the heart and drives away melancholy being put into a glass of Wine makes it relish well and increaseth the vertue of the liquor Succory is cooling drying opening and cleansing an excellent Hepatic Herb very good for those that are troubled with obstructions and heat of the Liver to be used in Broths or otherwise in Medicine Spear-Mint is hot and dry in the second degree it is a great strengthner of a weak nauseating stomach or subject to vomiting it is pleasant in smell and tast refreshing the Brain and comforting the Heart invites the appetite and helps digestion correcting the crudities that flat and depress the stomach Clary is hot and dry accounted a strengthner of the back and good to stop spermatick issuing used by some for that purpose to be fryed with Eggs but i never found any considerable effects nor do I recommend it in such Cases Tansy is hot and dry bitter in tast but very acceptable to the stomach and abstersive it is very wholesom in food or physick and therefore that Dish called a Tansie is to be esteemed as a choice dainty but the juice of this Herb is not to be wanting in it Marygold-Flowers are moderately hot and dry they chear the spirits and comfort the Heart are very wholesom and agreeable to all bodies but chiefly beneficial for melancholick and drooping spirits to be used in broth or stewed meats to which they make an addition for goodness Pennyroyall is hot and dry in the third degree it cleanseth and strengthens the stomach expels Wind provokes Urine and a great opener of obstructions it is a strong savory Herb but pleasant and very wholesom especially for cold phlegmatick and crude waterish bodies Violet-leaves are cold and moist good for hot and costive Bodies to cool and loosen the Belly and may be used in Sallad Broth or otherwise Thyme is hot and dry pleasant in smell and tast it helps a weak stomach and gives a good relish to meat or broth which a good Cook knows very well Savory is hot and dry in the third degree of a strong penetrating but fragrant scent and of a biting tast it attenuates opens and discusseth corrects a crude watery stomach gives a good season to meat or pottage as its name imports Marjerome is delightful in smell and tast no less pleasing to the stomach and profitable for a weak head very wholesom for the body and hurtful to none I have now given a short but useful account of the virtues and qualities of the most and chiefest Herbs used in Cookery whereby every one may appoint or make choice of such to be used in dressing their meat as their nature and condition of body does most require and refuse those that although good and wholesom in themselves yet not proper and fit for some persons in such a state of body And although much more might have been said in the medicinal use of some of them yet this is

Melancholly Grief and Despair These Passions being near allied we may rank them together as the Companions and Attendants upon adversity and misfortunes whose properties are to rob and steal away from the Soul that vivacious enlivening power which roborates and quickens all the faculties in the Body When these Passions are predominant the energy of the Soul is abated and all the functions insufficiently weakly and depravedly performed A dark Cloud of Melancholy over-spreading the Soul suffocates and choaks the Spirits retards their motion and agility darkens their purity and light these instruments in each faculty being thus disabled their offices in every part of the body are faintly executed whereby the whole body decays and languisheth witness the common symptoms of a dejected sad condition a pale thin face heavy dead eyes a slow weak pulse loss of appetite weakness faintness restlesness a weight or compression about the region of the heart with continual sighing or palpitation these are the effects wrought in the Body by Melancholy and Grief which are to be avoided as great decayers of Nature Enemies to Beauty Health and Strength Hope and Joy But these are the recreations of the Soul and are as sanative and wholesom as exercise is for the Body for the Soul plays and danceth in hope and joy Embrace therefore and cherish these as the supports of your life which raise the Soul to the highest pitch and extend her energy to the utmost These enlivening affections of the mind are the greatest friends to and preservatives of Health and strength for in this serene state of gladness all the faculties and endowments of soul are advanced and invigorated both rational sensitive and natural which implies a vigorous performance in all the members of the Body and therefore contribute mainly to the keeping or acquiring of Health and consequently the prolongation of life Content and joy prolong youth and preserve beauty make the countenance fresh the Body plump and fat for pleasantness and delight of the soul put all the spirits upon activity quicken their operations and duty in all the functions conveigh nutriment to repair and replenish the utmost borders and confines of the microcosm therefore dum fata sinunt vivite laeti FINIS Advertisement PAins afflicting humane Bodies their various difference Causes Parts affected Signals of danger or safety Shewing their tendency to Inflammations Tumors Apostems Vlcers Cancers Gangrenes and Mortifications for a seasonable prevention of such fatal Events With a Tract of Fontinels or Issues and Setons By E.
