and exercise doeth cause a strong body Syracke saith in Cap. 17. that abundance of meat beggetteth diseases and that gluttony doeth fill the body with vitious humours Plato in his second Booke De legibus doth forbid the vse of wine and especially vnto children vntill they be eighteene yeares of age and giueth a reason that Non decetignem igni adijoere And these verses are worthy the consideration Immodici sensus perturbat copia bacchi Inde quis enumeret quot mala proueniant Corporis exhaurit succos animique vigorena Opprimit ingemum strangulat atque necat Doct. That is very true for wee see what drowsie sots those common tospots tauerne haunters are and how vnfit to euery good action subiect to euery kind of disease as Palsies Apoplexies Hydropsies Epelipsies gouts such like besides they are turned for the most part from men to monsters and their minds are as full of filthie disires as their bodies of soule diseases But I pray you proceed vnto the next which is sleepe and watchfulnes let mee know how you doe define the same Of Sleepe and Watchfulnes Stud. SLeepe is a rest and quietnes of De sonnio the vertue animall which hapneth when the profitable vapours of the nourishment doe ascend vp into the braine where they doe sweetly moysten and euery where flowing in the braine doe obstruct the Meatus and passages of the senses and moouing Nerues thorow which the vertue of the seness doe by little and little faile The Efficent cause is heate which as Hip. saith in sleepe it flieth more inwards to the end to helpe concoction from whence it hapneth that the outward members doe easily waxe cold in sleepe and doe require to be more warmer couered The Material cause is a sweet vapour ascending from the nourishment into the brain and stopping the Meatus of the senses and spirits that the members forsake their motion The Formal cause is the rest of the outward senses that is hearing and seeing in like manner local mouing as neither the hands nor the feet doe moue any more or performe their office The Finall causes are first a moystning and a recreation of the braine and of the heart According to Virgil Fessos Virgilius soporirrigat artus Secondly that the action of the stomacke and of the liuer in concoction may be the stronger drawing inwards the heat and the spirits for to that end doth the animall faculties rest in sleepe to the end the natural may more stronger performe their office Thirdly that it may be the image of death according to Ouid Stulte quid est somnus gelidae nisi mortis imago Galen calleth it frater mortis the brother of death for as in sleepe the body taketh its rest and the soule watcheth so also in death the body resteth but the soule and spirit liueth As concerning the order and length of sleepe we must consider how much and how long is conuenient to euery body for long sleepe is more conuenient for them that as yet haue not attained to a perfect digestion whether it happeneth through the eating of euill meats or through the wrakenes of the vertue digestiue And forasmuch as sleepe doeth slacken and make laxe the animall powers it is not so necessary for those that be fasting or to such as do suffer much hunger for thereby the head is filled with fuines and euaporations eleuated from the feces supersluities retained in the stomack But on the contrary too much watching is hurthfull to the braine it doth debilitate and weaken the senses it doth burne the humors and is the cause of sharpe diseases sometimes of frensies of madnesse melancholy and deliriums In this therefore we must be carefull to consider how much is sufficient for as Hippocrates saith both sleepe and watchfulnes which soeuer it be if they be immoderate are hurtfull For the length of sleepe the most part of Physitions do agree Length of sleepe that to strong bodies seuen houres in the night is sufficient for in the day time it is generally disallowed and to those that are weaker eight houres at the most Plato in Timaeo saith when the world shutteth vp hereie we also should shut Plato vp our cies the eye of the world is the sunne therefore sleepe is not long to be deferred after the setting of the sun neither presently after supper can sleepe be wholsome for as Galen saith Lib. 4. Abhorismorum Commentario 67. à cibis ad somnum connersis caput impletur A certain great man was wont to say that he found nothing better for the preseruation of his health then to read nothing after supper to write nothing nor to be long out of his bedde so said he I am very wel able to arise in the morning with cheerefulnesse to follow my busines He that hath a strong stomacke let him lie first vpon the right side but he that hath a weake digestiue facultie should first lie vpon the left side and afterwards vpon the right for to lie vpon the left side doth better helpe digestion and vpon the right side it helpeth better for the distribution of the meat Doct. The next thing not naturall is exercise and rest how may that auaile Motus quies for the benefit and health of the bodie Of exercise and rest Stud. A Great part of the preseruatiō of the health of mans body doth consist in due exercise and rest for both these are necessary both to the body and the minde of which Ouid saith Cernis vt ignauum corrumpant ocia corpus Vt capiunt vitium nimoue antur aqua In these verses the similitude is of the body and the water For as water that doth not mooue doth easily putrifie so the body also groweth to corruption without exercise In like manner of the mind and vnstanding Outd V. Trist Elegia 12. saith Adde quòd ingenium long a rubigine laesum Torpet est multo quàm fuit amè munus Where he calleth it Longam rubiginem otium ignauum he meaneth that wherby the whole force of the wit and vnderstanding is ouerthrowne or at the least doth languish and is diminished euen as by the contrary it is refreshed and made sharpe There are three profits and commodities that ariseth by motion and exercise the first is it maketh the bodie strong Secondly it doth excite and increase naturall heate Thirdly the spirits and the senses are thereby made more stronger and sharper As concerning the times of exercise the Aphorism of Hippocrates doth teach Lib. 6. Epi. Sect. 4. Aphoris vlt. vs 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 labours before meate he calleth motion or exercise of the body labours Therefore before meate and not after the body must bee exercised for quietnes after feeding or very litle exercise is to be vsed lest that the naturall heat which should be exercised about concoction and digesture should be dispersed and so made weaker Of Rest the same Ouid saith Quod
