proper office and vertue is to loose and mollifie the belie If these do not suffice adde the herbe called Mercurie vnto them or else take it alone by itselfe But if there be in the body great plentie and abundance of humours we must assay and trye whether they wil be resolued and wasted by abstinence or diet For abstinence saieth Galen is one maner of euacuation And Damascene sayeth if we may cure any maladie or griefe by dyet we were not best to trye anye other waye for all thinges touchinge bodily health will fall out prosperously But if their be such abundance of ill humoures that diette or abstinence is not hable to purge them then must those humours be educed and drawen foorth by easie and light purgacion speciallye in two quarters of the yere Springe and Autumne In sommer the the fittest purginge are Cassia fistula or a Siruppe of Roses solutiue But in springe and Autumne Rhabarbe Agaricke and Sene and also the communelie knowen Electuaries as Lenitiue Diachatolicon Diasabeste foreséene that the Ingredientes be well concocted sod and prepared with suche thinges as belonge and pertaine to the humour then raigning least otherwise the confection shoulde be ouer raginge or endued with any venenositie And the drynesse and heate of Rubarbe Agaricke and Sene maye be mitigated and taken awaye if they be mixed with suche thinges as be moyste and colde of whiche sorte are Plummes Sebestens and cordiall flowers And vnto them it were not amisse to put a little quantitie of Anyse or Cinamome because of the weakenes and imbecilitie of the stomacke And if great extremitie and néede séeme to require to take some purgation or medicinable potion for healthes sake in a great heate let the confect be dronk with the waters or rather with the decoctions of Sorell Endiue Borage Violettes Succorie Hoppes and Raisons accordingelie as it shall séeme expedient by the aduise and counsell of the skilfull Phisicion Prouided alwayes that non of all these whiche are here rehearced nor yet of any other be taken in anye great quantitie For some sayeth Galen are glad when they often and largelie make great Stooles But the more they be emptied the more is their bealie bounde within few dayes afterward whiche to be true not onlye good reason but also daylie experience perswadeth And therfore in suche case it it were better to prouoke siegez by some gentle suppositories of Glisters or Oyle infused at the foundiment or els some other softeninge substance that may dissolue the matter which stoppeth the passage of the ordure in the straicte gutte Colon. But the nature of our Countrey men is rather thē they would willinglie vse those helpes to take confectionate and medicinable drouges downewarde at the mouth then vpwarde at the foundement feare of dishonestie and a certaine shamefastnes enforcing them therunto Of Sleepe ANd because they which are in helth ought to haue a speciall regarde to Sléepe that it neyther be superfluous nor lesse then nature requireth but vsed in due and conuenient moderation to th ende that the commodities whiche come therby may be felte and taken and the harmes comminge by longe watche auoyded we will here briefely entreate of both And first this must diligently be inculcate that neither the one nor the other passe measure For beinge vsed out of measure as Hippocrates affirmeth they bringe so muche hinderance and annoyance to health as nothing more For immoderate and too muche sléepe filleth the body with many humours and retaineth not onely sweate but also all other superfluities maketh the bodie dull and heauie weakeneth and in a maner boyleth all the senses and maketh thē blunt and vnapte to honest exercises euen as if muche store of ashes shoulde be caste vpon fier they couer and quight quenche it out yea Auicen also doubted not to say that it dampnified and hurte the soule or reasonable part of man Contrarily moderate sléepe after meate doth moysten the whole bodie and is thought to humecte euen the very innermoste partes of the bodie to stirre vp and exuscitate the powers and vertues therof to make the actions of the Senses more fresh and lustie to reuiue and quicken the spirites Naturall Vitall and Animall and as it were to refreshe and repaire the whole bodie new agayne Beinge vsed before meate it dryeth vp the bodye while the naturall heate worketh inwardly extendinge his force and violence againste itselfe For sléepe is nothinge else but a pleasant and delightfull detention of the senses and a reuocacion of heate into the inwarde partes of the body where if it finde nourishment ready to work vpon it digesteth and distributeth it into all the veines Arteries and members of the whole bodie The same effect hath it if it finde crude and rawe humours vnconcocte Thus sléepe before meate is commended But if naturall heat finde no alyment or moysture inwardlie then is it too muche incended and tourneth all his violence against the radicall and substanciall moysture of the bodye and for want of other exhausteth it Semblably immoderate and too muche watchinge is as hurtfull to the powers and hindereth the chiefe functions of life for therby natural heate is cooled as Auerrois sayeth like as fier which with too muche moouinge and stirringe is blowen abroade and dispercled Thereby also the spirites be resolued and the power Animall troubled digestion letted the body made apte to Consumptions the braine debilitate and filled with many noysome vapours and fumosities But moderate Sleepe as before is saide strengtheneth the vitall power and maketh the vertue naturall hable to accomplishe and completelie dispatche all her operations whereof the chiefest is digestion and concoction of the meate Furthermore it maketh the vertue Animall to take rest and remooueth and taketh away the weakenes and debilitie that commeth by studie and labor But some will stande in doubte concerninge the measure and time of sléepe whether it ought to be so great and so longe as Hippocrates appointeth it For he sayeth that that Sleepe is laudable and naturall whiche lacketh no parte of the night neither hindreth anye parte of the daye Whiche séemeth to be the custome and maner of men in the auncient time if we beléeue Homere who hath diligently described the maners rytes and studies of men For assoone as the Sunne is downe he wryteth and describeth that men surceassed from their labours and betooke themselues to rest and when the Sunne was risen and vp he alwayes lightlie séemeth to stirre vp and cal men to their busines and vocatiō Whereby he signified and ment that all the night we ought to sléepe and all the daye to watche Neither is it without good respecte and consideracion that the same Hippocrates in an other place wryteth that ventres in winter and Springe are very hoate and sleepe verye longe As concerninge what howers of the daye time are fittest to sléepe in he in his booke entituled De praesagiis affirmeth the morninge to
