What is beere or ale Hum. Ale doth engendre grosse humors in the body but if it be made of good barly mualt and of wholsone water and verie well sodden and stand fiue or sixe daies vntill it be cleare It is verie wholesome especially for hot cholericke folkes hauing hote burning feuers But if Ale bee very sweete and not well sodden in the brewing it bringeth inflammation of winde and choller into the belly If it be very sower it fretteth and nippeth the guts and is euill for the eies To them that be verie flegmaticke ale is verie grosse but to temperat bodies it encreaseth bloud It is partely laxatiue and prouoketh vrine Cleane brewed beere if it be not very strong brewed with good hops clenseth the body from corruption and is very wholsome for the liuer it is an vsuall or common drinke in most places of England which indeede is hurt and made worse with many rotten hops or hoppes dried like dust which commeth from beyond the sea But although there commeth manie good hoppes from thence yet it is knowen that the goodly stilles and fruitfull grounds of England do bring forth to mans vse as good hops as groweth in any place of this world as by proofe I know in many places of the countrey of Suffolke Whereas they brewe their beere with the hoppes that groweth vpon their owne grounds And thus to conclude of ale and beere they haue no such vertue nor goodnes as wyne hath and the sur fetes which be taken of them through drunkennes be worse then the surfetes taken of wyne Knowe this that to drinke ale or beere of an empty stomacke moderatly hurteth not but dooeth good But if one be fasting hungry or empty and drinke much wine it will hurt the sinewes and bringeth crampe sharpe agues and palsies as Auicen Auerois and Rasis saie Ioh. What is bread Hum. The best Bread is made of cleane sweete wheate which groweth in claie ground and maketh but little branne when it is ground light leauened meanely salted and the bread to be baked in an ouen not extremely hot for burning of the bread nor les then meane h●t for causing the bread to be heauie and rawe the lighter the bread is and the more full of holes it is the wholsomer as Auerrois and Rasis saieth And also bread must neither be eaten new baked nor verie stale or old for the one causeth drinesse thirst and smoking into the head troubling the braines and eies through the heate thereof The other drieth the body and bringeth melancholy humours hurting memory The best bread is that which is of a day olde and the loues or manchets may neither be great nor little but meane for the fier in small loues drieth vp the moistnes or vertue of the bread and in great loues it leaueth rawnesse and grosnesse Reade Galen in the properties of bread Sodden bread which be called simnels or cracknelles bee verie vnwholsome and hurteth many one Rie bread is windy and hurtfull to manie therefore it shoulde be well salted and baked with Annis seedes and commonly crustes of bread be verie drie and burneth they doe engender melancholy humours Therefore in great mens houses the bread is chipped and largelye pared and ordynarily is made in brewesse and sosse for dogges which will helpe to feede a great number of poore people but that many be more affectionate to dogges then men Barly bread doth clense coole and make the body leane Ioh. What is rise Hum. There be many opinions in the vertue thereof but I shall stay my selfe with the iudgement of Auicen Rise saith he is hot and drie and hath vertue to stop the belly it doth nourish much if it bee sodden with milke but it ought to be steeped in water a whole night before if blanched Almondes be stamped and with Rosewater streined into them and sodden with cowes milke it is verie nutrimentall Ioh. What be almondes Hum. The bitter Almondes be hotter then the sweete Almondes Drie Almondes be hurtfull the milke of moist Almonds wherein burning steele is quenched stoppeth the flix To eate almondes before meate preserueth against drunkenes Walnuts be wholsome when they be new to bee eaten after fish for they hinder engendring of fleugme Simeon Sethi saith they are hote in the first and drie in the second degree not wholsome before meate Plinie speaking of Metridatis the great king that Pompius found of his owne hand writing that two nuttes and two figges and twenty rewe leaues stamped together with a little salt and eaten fasting doth defend a man both from poison and pestilence that daie Filberdes and hazle nuttes be hard of disgestion ill before meate hurtfull to the head and lunges if they be rosted and eaten with a little pepper they will helpe the running and distillation of rumes Chesnuttes if they bee rosted and eaten with a little hony fasting they helpe the cough if they be eaten raw although they greatly nourrish the brdy yet they be hurtfull for the splene and fill the belly full of winde Nutmegges be very good for colde persons comforteth the sight and memory as Auicen saieth but without doubt Nutmegges doe combust or burne sanguine men and drie vp their bloud and thus much haue I spoken shortly of the vertue of nuttes Ioh. What be cloues galangell and Pepper Hum. They be hote and drie and as Rasis saieth doe comfort colde stomackes and make sweete breath and is good in the meates of them that haue ill disgestion Blacke pepper is hoter then long pepper and doth mightily warme the bodie the grosser it is eaten with fish or frute the better it prouoketh vrine it is hot and drie in the fourth degree therefore they doe erre that saie pepper is hot in the mouth and colde in the stomacke Although pepper be good to them that vse it well yet vnto artificiall women that haue more beastlines then beuty and cannot be content with their natural complexions but would faine be fayre they eate pepper dried corne and drinke vineger with such like bagage to drie vp their bloud and this is the verie cause that a great number though not all fall into weakenes greene sickenesse slinking breathes and oftentimes sodaine death Iohn What is sweete Callamus odoratus Hum. An excellent sweete roote and profitable for men if the poticaries keepe it not vntill it bee rotten it is hote and drie in the beginning to the mides of the second degree it hath power to clense to dry to waste al winds within the body without hurt Galen doth greatly commend the sauour of it They that drinke of this roote sodden in wine shall haue remedie of the white morphew and recouer
