the_o meat_n it_o make_v they_o though_o bad_a and_o gross_a of_o themselves_o to_o turn_v to_o its_o own_o good_a temperature_n and_o substance_n but_o yet_o we_o may_v so_o far_o forth_o use_v

clear_a for_o since_o at_o the_o beginning_n the_o brain_n be_v make_v of_o delicate_a seed_n and_o that_o this_o member_n be_v every_o day_n impair_n and_o consume_v and_o be_v to_o be_v repair_v with_o meat_n which_o we_o eat_v it_o follow_v certain_o that_o by_o use_v such_o meat_n as_o be_v gross_a and_o of_o evil_a temperature_n the_o brain_n will_v become_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n therefore_o it_o will_v not_o suffice_v that_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v of_o good_a seed_n but_o also_o that_o the_o meat_n which_o he_o eat_v after_o he_o be_v bear_v be_v endue_v with_o the_o same_o quality_n the_o ancient_a greek_n be_v very_o curious_a in_o this_o particular_a galen_n and_o other_o greek_a physician_n prescribe_v to_o those_o parent_n who_o be_v desirous_a of_o beget_v wise_a child_n to_o eat_v much_o goat_n milk_n boil_a for_o about_o seven_o or_o eight_o day_n before_o copulation_n this_o meat_n be_v of_o a_o moderate_a substance_n the_o heat_n exceed_v not_o the_o cold_a nor_o the_o moist_a the_o dry_a the_o greek_n also_o use_v to_o extract_v out_o of_o the_o milk_n the_o cheese_n and_o whey_n as_o be_v the_o grosser_n part_n of_o the_o milk_n and_o

very_o delicate_a water_n with_o honey_n and_o a_o little_a salt_n but_o yet_o in_o this_o way_n of_o regiment_n and_o order_n of_o the_o diet_n there_o arise_v one_o great_a inconvenience_n namely_o that_o child_n use_v such_o kind_n of_o delicate_a meat_n will_v not_o enjoy_v strength_n sufficient_a to_o resist_v the_o injury_n of_o the_o air_n or_o other_o occasion_n which_o use_v to_o breed_v

how_o thing_n may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o advance_n of_o child_n wit_n by_o their_o diet_n and_o education_n may_v not_o prove_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o

to_o lie_v in_o a_o soft_a bed_n the_o four_o to_o fare_v well_o the_o five_o to_o be_v well_o furnish_v and_o apparel_v the_o six_o to_o ride_v much_o on_o horseback_n the_o seven_o to_o have_v one_o

manner_n of_o life_n produce_v the_o aforesaid_a effect_n be_v most_o true_a but_o be_v likewise_o true_a that_o it_o cause_v the_o seed_n to_o be_v moist_a and_o that_o the_o child_n engender_v of_o that_o seed_n must_v also_o abound_v with_o superfluous_a moisture_n which_o both_o for_o the_o production_n of_o wit_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o health_n aught_o to_o be_v dry_v up_o for_o as_o much_o as_o this_o quality_n stifle_v the_o operation_n of_o the_o rational_a soul_n and_o also_o occasion_v sickness_n and_o short_a life_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v that_o a_o good_a wit_n and_o a_o sound_a body_n arise_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o quality_n namely_o dryness_n whence_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o same_o rule_n which_o we_o be_v to_o lay_v down_o for_o the_o make_v child_n wise_a will_v also_o be_v effectual_a for_o the_o make_n of_o they_o healthy_a and_o long_o live_v first_o it_o behove_v for_o those_o child_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o delicious_a parent_n who_o constitution_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o consist_v of_o more_o cold_a and_o moist_a than_o be_v convenient_a to_o be_v wash_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v with_o hot_a salt_n water_n which_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o physician_n soak_v and_o dry_v up_o the_o flesh_n strengthen_v the_o nerve_n and_o by_o consume_v the_o superfluous_a moisture_n of_o the_o brain_n increase_v the_o wit_n and_o free_v he_o from_o many_o dangerous_a disease_n whereas_o a_o bath_n of_o hot_a water_n that_o be_v fresh_a breed_v as_o hypocrates_n affirm_v five_a inconvenience_n namely_o the_o effeminate_n of_o the_o flesh_n weakness_n of_o the_o sinew_n dulness_n of_o the_o spirit_n flux_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o a_o nauseat_n in_o the_o stomach_n but_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v with_o excessive_a dryness_n be_v to_o be_v bathe_v in_o hot_a fresh_a water_n that_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o temper_n may_v be_v correct_v by_o a_o contrary_a quality_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o hot_a salt_n water_n be_v available_a for_o those_o that_o be_v over_o moist_a be_v because_o it_o stop_v the_o pore_n of_o the_o skin_n and_o of_o two_o extreme_n it_o be_v more_o conduce_v to_o health_n to_o have_v a_o skin_n hard_a and_o somewhat_o close_o than_o thin_a and_o open_a the_o second_o thing_n requisite_a to_o be_v perform_v when_o the_o child_n be_v new_o bear_v be_v to_o make_v he_o acquaint_v with_o the_o wind_n and_o with_o change_n of_o air_n and_o not_o to_o keep_v he_o lock_v up_o in_o a_o chamber_n which_o much_o enfeeble_v the_o

moist_a cold_a and_o dry_a it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o that_o shepherd_n of_o all_o man_n live_v enjoy_v the_o sound_a health_n since_o they_o accustom_v themselves_o to_o all_o the_o several_a quality_n of_o the_o air_n and_o their_o nature_n be_v dismay_v at_o nothing_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o find_v that_o those_o man_n that_o give_v themselves_o to_o live_v delicious_o and_o to_o beware_v lest_o the_o sun_n the_o wind_n the_o evening_n or_o the_o cold_a offend_v they_o be_v within_o a_o small_a time_n dispatch_v with_o a_o post-letter_n to_o another_o

thing_n necessary_a to_o be_v perform_v be_v to_o seek_v out_o a_o young_a nurse_n of_o temperature_n hot_a and_o dry_a with_o which_o two_o quality_n the_o much_o cold_a and_o moist_a will_v be_v
