A new Boke of the natures and properties of all Wines that are commonlye vsed here in England with a confutation of an errour of some men that holde that Rhennish and other small white wines ought not to be drunken of them that either haue or are in daunger of the stone the reume and diuers other diseases made by William Turner doctor of Phisicke Whervnto is annexed the booke of the natures and vertues of Triacles newly corrected and set foorth againe by the sayde William Turner Jmprinted at London by William Seres Anno. 1568. TO THE RIGHT honorable Sir William Cecill Knight chiefe Secretarie vnto the Queenes Maiestye and maister of hir Highnesse Courts of Wardes and Liueries c. and somtime his Constudent in the Vniuersitie of Cambridge William Turner wisheth all prosperitie both of bodye and soule through Iesus Christ our Sauiour SIR AFTER that I perceiued that my age ioined with continuall sickenesse would suffer me no more to be profytable too Christes Church and common welth by my voyce wordes and going abrode thought it meete by such mēbers and meanes as GOD hath left in me as yet vnhurt and vntouched for that portion of liuing that I haue to profit the Church of God as much as I coulde And therefore within these xij Monethes I haue translated one booke out of Latin into English and haue writtē one homily against Gluttonye and Drunkennesse and other vices annexed thervnto and haue set them abrode for the promoting and increasing of the kingdome of GOD. I thought also seeing that God hath also endued mee with the knowledge of bodilye Phisicke after that I had sought to promote the kingdome of GOD to communicate some part of my knowledge that God hath giuen vnto me in naturall knowledge vnto my brethren that had nede therof But when as I perceiued that there was so much vse of Wine in all cou●tries of Englande and so many errors committed in the abusing of it both of the most part of the Laitie and also of some of the learned that professe naturall knowledge I thought I should doe no small benefite vnto the Church and Common welth of England if that I shoulde set out a booke of the natures of Wines and confute the errors and ill opinions that all men haue concerning the natures and properties of them And this booke haue I now ended and dedicate vnto your Honor for a token of the good will that I beare vnto you desiring you also to be a Patrone of it against all such babling and vnlearned Sophisters as wyll speake agaynst it not being armed with learning authoritie and reason but onelye with their olde Sophistrie which they learned in the time of ignoraunce and darkenesse If these will be to busie in defending of their errors and will goe about to defende them and confute the truth that I haue taught in this booke if that I can haue by the helpe of God graunted vnto me any truce betweene me and my disease I entende to put you to small paine in the defending of my Booke for I haue beene matched with as big men as these bee I thanke GOD and well haue escaped without dishonor But if my sicknesse will not suffer me to doe it that I would otherwise doe then I must desire you and other of my friendes to defende mee so farre forth as I defende the truth Furthermore whereas I set out of late a boke declaring at large the vertues and properties of the great Triacle called Theriaca Andromachi and of the Triacle of Mithridates called Mithridatium and also of the Triacle Salt and the booke was negligentlye and falselye printed and diuerse honest men think it necessarie to be printed againe I purpose to doe the same bicause it were necessary to haue a patrone for it which it hath wanted hitherto I dedicate and giue this boke also vnto your learned Honor desiring you also by your learnyng and wisedome to be patrone vnto it as I ●aue made you of my other booke No more at this time but the Lorde Iesus encrease you with the knowledge of his holy worde and with grace to lyue alwayes according to the same Amen OF THE NATVRES properties profits hurtes and helps that come of Wyne ALTHOVGH the order of learning do require that euerye man that shall write of anye thing should declare open by definitiō it that he entendeth to entreate of yet nede not I as I iudge going about to write of wine to take any great paine to make a definition of it bicause all men women and childer that are cummed to any perfite age know well inough that Wine is the iuice of grapes pressed out and put vp into vessels to be drunken afterwards at cōuenient times of men for diuerse endes and purposes that the Grape maker hath ordeyned it for For manye great causes it shall be more necessarye to diuide Wine into his kindes and sortes that thereby the reader may the better know what kinds of Wines are best for what endes and purposes Wines may be diuided into sixe sorts at the least Wines may be numbred and diuided either by the countrie and places that they grow in or by their colors or by their youth or age and by their tastes smelles and by properties that they haue and some of the maner of making and euery one of these kindes may bee diuided againe into certaine other speciall sortes or vnder kindes Some Wine is called Creticum of Creta which is named in English Candie some is called Graecum of Graecia some Rhennish bicause it groweth beside the Rhene some Gallicum that is French Wine bicause it groweth in France and some is called Rheticum bicause it groweth in Rhetia and so a greate sorte of other Wines haue their names of the countries places wheras they growe But it is best as I thinke first of all according to nature to intreat of new and olde Wines and of it that is a middle Wine betwene them both Of new and olde Wine and of it that is of a meane age that is neyther to be called new nor olde THere are twoo sortes of newe Wine one that is called Must Two kindes of newe wine and that is but latelye made or pressed out of the grapes and is swete in tast troubled in color and thick in substaunce and this sort is properlye called in Latin Mustum And another sorte is called newe Wine which hath left his swéetnes gotten clearenesse Galene but yet it is not long since it was made New wine after Galen Galen in his booke of making of medicines séemeth to call all Wine that is not fully fiue yeares olde newe wine and it that is past fiue yeares vntill it hee ten yeare olde wine of middle age and it that is aboue the age of ten yeares olde wine and Dioscorides writing of the nature of Wines in his fifte booke calleth it Wine of middle age that is more than
