reflect them as we should vpon the Diuine Deriuation Surely it seldome or neuer sounds the Center of that heart which holds the fruition of that self-Gem or bosome friend sound and well setled Health For Bona carendo magis quam fruendo agnoscimus who neuer felt the disgust of the bitter cup of Sicknesse cannot rightly relish the sweet tast of Sanitude But contraria juxta se posita magis elucescunt Contraries are best illustrated and distinguisht by their contraries and he that after long durance or sharpe Torture of a grieuous Disease happily recouers some reasonable measure of healthfull state or relaxation from languor well knowes and will acknowledge with me that Bona valetudo maximè Diuinum longeque blandissimum est vitae condimentum that sanitude is a Celestiall most delicious condiment and the best seasoning to relish the Nectarsweets of a happie naturall Life For non vivere sed valere vita est Health is the Crowne and Life of Life and Life without Health is no Life but euen a lingring Death where both Animall Powers and Corporall parts suffering produce but lame and depraued Actions For Sicknes being an affect against Nature ex Diametro Sanitati oppositus seated in the Bodie by intruding seisure and of it selfe primarily vitiating the Naturall State and Constitution of Mans fabricke perturbs and peruerts both corporall and Animall function with disordred exorbitance confounding the consociable Oeconomie of the body and with discordant larrings distuning the Organs and disturbing the happy Harmony of the Spirits those sacred Opifices accommodating our Microcosme to all commendable actions Now the most generall Seminary of Sicknes is superfluous Repletion with which the strongest bodies are many times so ouerborne that like ouer ballasted Ships they suddenly fincke vnder the heavie load of abundance but the Cachochymique corps fraught and crased with crudities is euermore exposed to all the iniuries of the Six Non-naturals insomuch that euery ingruent distemper of Heat Cold Diet Labour or other Error in th' use of any of them plunges it into one Disease or other euen like a crasie Ship which is prone with euery rough Sea to spring Lecke and bee dilacerated and split with euery Tempest And who sees not that the full and foule feedings of this Nation aduanced through the vicious liuing of these times which hales and drawes downe from Heauen a heauie curse vpon all Creatures both Aliments and Elements heape vp many crude and impure superfluities which so vitiate the temperature of the continent vessels and depraue the harmonious frame of the whole Bodie that daily-new broodes of insolit and strange Diseases translating Plinies Trecenturiall Number or sorts of infirmities to infinite assault mans Bulwarke of Health with insolent fresh batteries till they sacke it with insulting Demolish Knowing then that Repletion is cured by Evacuation and being by long infallible experiēce wel confirmed in good approbation of my Panala for fit munition against such Machines whose Medique part is bred and brought forth by Infusion of a wel-dispensed Fund or Bag of specifique Ingredients in ordinary Ale the Ancient drinke of this Isle than which there can hardly be excogitated or inuented a more generall worthy Medicine that so cheape and choyce without any curiosity of Preparation or vse by the Patient doth Tuto sans hazard jucundè nor grieuing with ingrate relish of Physicke nor ouer-lading with too much sat scito quia sat bene good speed is best speed both conserue the salutarie state of the body and preuent and cure most morbid affects and diseases incident to the same by clensing and rectifying all parts and members thereof whether deriuable from indigested ballastings or otherwise contracted I could not dispense with an absolute concealement of it's most precious worth but in some sort Quoad medicationis dispositionem non medicaminis Compositionē communicate to the world the manifold benefits flowing from the familiar fruitfull operation thereof But should I bee so fond to promulgate to the Ingredience and dispence of the Fund or Bagge itselfe I should too much derogate from the due esteeme and true dignitie of the Secret and miscendo sacra prophanis by lauish Publish much prophane the sacred Mysteries of Apollo Though Charity her selfe then should plead her best in approuement of the Discouery with Bonum quo communius eo melius yet would neither the Empericke nor the Methodist let mee passe without a Blow or a Brand And worthily too for Rerum minuit Maiestatem qui divulgat Mystica and with what deliuer Passage or commendable posture could I fairly avoyd the vile and odious venue of begetting Broods of Mountebanckes and so breed the baine in stead of the Balme both to priuate and publique Health if Pandarizing to so deere a Progenie I should vnnaturally basely prostitute so virtuous and worthie a Virgin and so intimate and gentile a Handmaid of diuine Physicke to vulgar gaze and the artlesse base abuse of euery Horch-leach Quacksalver and Sophisticke Pardon therefore my yet reserue of further Publication I am not so ambitious to cast-bout to make this Magistrall a Cast net to catch Shoales or promiscuous Schooles of Pupils without distinction of worth or Merit I pity both this popular silly-poore Ambition of Professors and the penurious fond conceipts of many Patients who to saue the least conceiued trifle-charge of Cure will vpon any small Hint of a Physicall helpe bee either raw or more than ripe Medlars in Medicines and like blind Byards rashly and rudely rush into the vnsounded Deepes of the Sacred Mysteries of Medication Faith and workes are necessary Cooperants for saluation of the Soule but to redeeme the body from Dures of diseases and repaire the ruines of impaired Health it were to be wisht that Patients would rather bee constant strong Solifidians in obsequious conformitie to the counsell of the Physician than busie bold Physmicaries Tactant fabrilia fabri let not Patients turne Medicine Mungers but containing themselues within their proper Spheres of Prayer Confidence and Regularitie referre each Cure to the honest care of the Rationall Artist who knowes how to keepe the Golden Meane betweene the superstitious Empiricke and the ambitious Methodian both which doe many times make the best Recipes no better then prest and fiat Decipes For the obstinate Empiricke grosly holding it a religious Tye Iurare in verba Magistri so superstitiously and wilfully weds himselfe to experimentalls that he will not for a world of reason decline or be drawne ne latum quidem vnguem not the breadth of a Haire from a Probatum but still in all his practice propines one and the selfe same secret forsooth totidem verbis herbis both in Dose and dispence to euery man promiscuously Now
and compact substances 't is requisite the Qualitie and Quantitie thereof bee both of them competent For the first it must be either of an inciding and penetrating Power that by peircing and entring into all Parts of the subiect Materialls it may cut attenuate reserate diuide dissolue their compact concrete Iuices and really also attract ingest and suck into it selfe the pure essentiall formes in which the chiefe efficacy of Medicinall force and virtue consists of their seuerall Natures separated from Earthly Feculency Or of such a Specifique meet and familiar and pleasurable Essence that by insinuatiō it may as it were allure and intice them to infuse and poure into it their best Spirits so oblectated and woone For the second sith Liquor is euermore Agent in this worke of Infusion it must bee of sufficient Quantity to subdue and attract the Radicall humors and spirits of the Ingredients because a small proportion is easily imbibed by the Bulk of the subiect Matter and too much will bee too weakly tincted therewith where a fit meane doth effectually draw-forth and attract the Iuices of the infused Body to a due Impregnation For Chymicke Extractions the Spirit of Wine Hot waters distil'd waters and Raine waters are held appropriate to make infusion For Potions wine Hydromel Oxymel Brothes Whey Decoctions of attenuating Simples are in request Now although Ale by reason of its mild Tast may seeme to participate but of small penetration by consequence be esteem'd an vnfit Liquor to macerate Ingredients and extract their virtues by Infusion yet by its operation and effects in the Body and Braine and by the piercing and combustible Hot waters drawne from thence it may well bee collected and concluded that it is not without subtile and persant Spirits lurking and lying hid and veiled vnder the mild soft Mask of its Oleaginous Succulence and therefore a Liquor no way improper but a very specifique and fit Body for the Infusion of most sorts of Ingredients both for gaining and retaining their virtues within it selfe and for prest and effectuall Participating them Howsoeuer indubitate Experience verissima artis Magistra truly tells and teaches both Methodist and Empirique that strong right-brewed Ale well wrought vp with Yest and duly tunned vp to fit Ingredients yea to solid and compact Substances euen to a Body impenetrable by Vulcans sharpest not hottest Tooles and more condense and obdurate than hardest woods so macerates penetrates and workes vpon their substantiall Formes by Fermentation and Digestion through force and efficacy of temperate heat and specifique moisture neither dissipating the Spirits nor dulling their vigor but rather fortifying both by stirring-vp and reducing their Calidum Innatum into Action Cooperatiue insinuating with supple ioynts and spirituall Iuices into euery Cauitie Perspirable Ouerture of euery of them that it subtilizes their inspissat thicke humors reserates the recluse Closets of their impacted Spiris concocts all Crudities residing in their Iuices attempers and mitigates Bitternesse corrects aliene Qualities digests incides and diuides Concretions and by disbanding and secluding some Heterogenities to the sides of the vessell by Precipitation of the feculent heauie and earthy to the Sediment and by Eleuation and lifting-vp the light Refuse or excreat and dead Remaine with the Spumie froth to the Swim or Superficies separates and amandates the secluded Faeces and Impure Purgaments couching in their inward Penetralia quite from the Region of its Depurated Body Thus in few Daies seuen or more according to the season of the weather hastning or foreslowing the Fining it Clarifies and purifies its owne Body and really and effectually impregnates it selfe by alliciating and attracting with the pure and sincere Tinctures and Faculties of the infused Materialls and with it vehiculates caries communicates and diffuses their virtues and powers into all parts of the Propinors or Receiuers Body secret and remote And this Distribution is effectuated and wrought by this Liquor partly through its liquid proprietarie Body specificated by th'acquisite Qualitie of Penetration deriued from attenuating Ingredients and partly by the cooperating of oblectated Nature which is euer eager to attract and imbrace whatsoeuer participates of a familiar succulent and nutritiue substance as well-brewed Ale is well approued to doe in due degrees of good Proportion suiting with its strength of Malt and Quantity of Ale according to which the Extraction of Spirits from the infused Masse is euermore made respectiuely For the Quale and Quantum ioyntly considered of Liquors infusiue bound and limit their Receptivities of extracted Impregnances as is before intimated Besides that this Panala by reason of its apt forme and proprietie and conuenient praeparation together with the fitnesse of the vessell and its owne Crowning and Mantling it selfe all ouer with the Clothing or Couer of Yest retaines and preserues euen the subtile and halable Spirits of euery Ingredient mixed and fixed with both their radical Humidums intire exempt and free from Evaporation and its owne Life and Quicknes from euanid flatnes dead sowring much better than most Liquors can doe yea then Wine which though it be Patent in Attraction is more Impotent in Retention by reason that the Spirits are Volatile and nothing so Glutinous and Condensate as those of Ale whereas decoctions though they haue their proper and commendable vses being performed according to Art in a close or double vessell which few Patients are curious in doe commonly exhale waste and spend the subtile Spirits of diuers Materialls most of all of most Puggers and extract ingest and retaine the Heterogene flatuous and earthy parts of them and of others He that denies or doubts of this Penetratiue and extractiue force of such Infusions by the meere efficacie of their inward Fire of Nature without helpe of forraigne Heat let him drinke a Cup of such Liquor after three daies or Wine after twelue houres Infuse in Calice Chymico and his Stomacke will not so much tell Him that venter non habet aures as vellicate them for not being more Beleeuing Ones Now if any Man wilfully wedded to a selfe-conceit or singularity of opinion doe yet suspect or will obiect that Ale the Base and Body of this Panala more obstructs the passages and puffes-vp full Bodies than Beere admit this were granted t is no impeach to the Potion because the Ingredience of the Bagge hath Power to transforme Liquors naturally Obstructiue to Deoppilatiue which doth farre transcend and surpersede that of the ambitious Incoline the aspiring Hop ayming to reach the Head of the highest Pole and the Pole of the Head and to banish This ancient Ale which in the 6. of Edward the 4. some 147. yeares agoe was in such request that the Feast for th'installment of Nevill Archbishop of Yorke and Chancellor of England was constantly affirmed to bee furnisht with 100 Tuns of Wine and 300 of Ale but not one Barrell of Beere Yet for Stomackes that brooke not Ale they may with conueniencie make the Infusion
best course for frugall keepe and husbanding the Potion for so the Bagge becomes free for a second Infusion either by Drying the Ingredients against halfe or two thirds of the Ale be spent or by immediate Strayning and reinfusing the same into fresh Liquor for Meal-drinke To make it drinke coole fresh and quicke in the hottest Summer hang it bottled in a deepe Well a little aboue the Water twelue or foureteene dayes and you haue your desire For the cold vapour of the water preserues the Ale from Exhalation of the Spirits and also irritates and makes them vigorous whereby they incorporate all parts of the Liquor in more perfection The like may be done at any time and that in the Rundlet it selfe to the same purpose CHAP. V. Of the praeparation of the Body before taking the Ale and when it is to be drunke PAnala together with its Purgatiue Quality doth so reserate and open the Ports and Passages of the corporall Vessels so mâ—turate and make fluent the Humours and so effectually performe all the Parts and Ofâ—â—ces of a good Preparatiue that before the vse thereof there seldome needs any other preparation of the Body in that kinde yet in case the Patient be accustomed to morning ejaculations or springs of watry Humors or vitious Contents floating in or disturbing the Stomach it is expedient before the drinking of this Panala for praeparation of the Ventricle to receiue not of the Humours to obey the medicine by gentle prouocation thereof with a sprig of Rosemary or a feather agitated about the roofe of the Mouth and roots of the Tongue to cause eiaculation or at least some expuition or fluxe of liquid Humors Those Patients which doe not affect this practice although the affections of their Stomacks craue the like may doe well some halfe houre before the Potion to eate a small Tost of light houshold bread rubd-ouer with a little Table Salt to remedy the fluctuating of the raw phlegmatique recrements and to digest and consume the crudities of the Stomack For other helpes of conuoy into the Body and all the inward penetralia of the pallace of the Microcosme Panala is so gratious and so potent an Vsher a Vehicle to powders pills electuaries there needs no forraine vehiculation where euery recluse with ready expanse inuites her welcome entrance and intertaine into each presence Touching the time for select vsage of this potion The Spring of the yeere is the fittest season of all other for this and for all other courses of medication because it is the most temperate and most wholesome besides that then the blood most encreases as sap in vegetables and the recreated spirits are most actiue in vigorous rotations and most apt and able and prest with their Opifique powers to cooperate with physicall meanes Moreouer Euacuations are then most requisite because grosse pituitous Humors heaped-vp in winter which condensates them and constipates their Meatus now dissoluing with hotter ayre will easily if they be not euacuated be diffused into the whole body and beget grieuous Diseases And in the later end of the Spring the redundance of hotter Humors are ready if obstructions be not remoued and they auoided to inflame and to putrifie and produce Feuers The Spring therefore especially that which next precedes the Clymaterique yeare should neuer passe-ouer a prouident Mans head without some helpe of physicke equiualent to Panala though he feele no infirmities Much more when a man perceiues spontaneous lassitude heauinesse or indisposition in his body to the actions thereof it is then high time by mature euacuation to preuent the ingruent and approaching sicknesse for those are manifest signes that the mesaraique veines the double conduits Chyliducts from the bowels and Sanguiducts from the Liuer are replenished with peccant humors which not timously euacuated will shortly bring forth fruits of ill effects For the vitious matter retained in the veines at length putrifies breathes forth ill vapours and breeds diuturne Feuers or else conuerted into a venemous nature with sodaine assault like a poysonous Serpent coucht in ambush for a mischieuous designe sets vpon the principall parts heart and braine producing grieuous accidents and effects of dangerous sequell Sometimes these vitious Humors powred forth into the bowels and other vessels doe cause the Cholick Iaundice Cachexia and other maladies other whiles elapsing forth of the greater branches into the habit of the body vnder the skin they breed itches scabs botches and other praeternaturall Tumors Next vnto the Spring is the fall of the leafe or Autumne which indeed is a second Spring though many degrees short of the former but here the crudities and reliques of raw fruits and Sommer-indigestions the banes of health ingested and heaped-vp in the veines and other vessells necessitate that medication which there is inuited through conueniencie For time of the Moone I hold it not amiss for a constant Man where occasions may be accommodated for free choice to elect the mids of the first Quartile and continue the take of the first infusion most part of the two next Quaternaries or Decrease and the second or altering potion the Increase because the bodie is then most animated by exaltation of the Spirits and thereby Nature most potent for any worke But I would not be too punctuall in this point there is no necessity of the obserue of such precise termes nor is it my meaning to confine vnto so strict limits sith euery temperate season doth excellently serue for this manner of Physicke onely the vernall and autumnall are very meet to be selected for a continued course of the like when the purpose is for preuention of sicknesse or remouall of rooted diseases whose affects are not precipitate or of sodaine dainger But in acute diseases where grieuous distempers of violent motion or doubtfull issue infest or fasten vpon the bodie a man must neither dwell vpon the expectance of seasonable weather nor of the beneuolent aspects of the Planets but setting apart all dallying delayes the Deluge which few men doe dry-shod decline and quit fall too and follow this familiar Helpe be it Winter or Sommer or other vnseasonable time rather than by deferring it to a more accommodate season suffer the sicknesse confirmed by procrastination to become incurable or of doubtfull consequence Prouided alwayes that the extreames and iniuries of distempered weather bee mitigated or auoided by keeping within prepared roomes the meanes and manner of which preparation are laid downe in the dietetique part of this worke in the corrections of the ayre vpon discourse of that Element But our Sommers in this Northerne Climate giue no true cause nor scarce

Aph. 12. For when the part remaining retaines the condition of the whole which was altogether against Nature that remaine can neuer be conuerted and assimilated into the substance of the Body but will in processe of time corrupt the pure humors together with the Aliments and produce morbid fruits like to the first Hence it is that the more you feed a foule body not fully clensed from impure humors the more you offend Impura corpora quo magis nutris hoc magis offendis Aph. 10. lib. 2.

VII Of the Diet and Order obseruable in the vse of this medicinable Ale THe head of this Chapter is the Subject of the Dietetique or Second Part of Panala in which besides some large discourse of the salutary vse of the six Non-naturalls the alimentation both of the Spirits and Body is anatomically delineated Yet that this Medique part may not in the meane time bee posted forth Pede primo claudicaens with downe-right halt before I held it vnfit to be altogether past-ouer here in silence and haue therefore borrowed leaue for a touch or two in a few lines before I goe about to trace out the whole Lineaments of that Body In diuturne lingring and daingerous diseases it is very conducible and requisite in all sorts of Physicall courses ordained for their cures to foster and follow the constant keepe of regular strict moderation not in the qualities and quantities of Meats and Drinkes onely but in the rest of the Rerum non naturalium likewise

XI Of the excellent cautionary virtues of Panala NAture the best Moderatrix of mans liuelihood not ignorant that Praecavere Morbis quam curare melius est that mature preuention of maladies is better than the best medication for cure Magis quippe optandum est omnino non pati quà m à passionibus liberari duly aymes by daily endeauours to constitute and continue the body temperatum ad pondus as in Mans first creation that it may be intire and perfect in state of health to the last period of life or at least to conserue the same in such latitude of sanitude as it was produced As therefore euery intelligent and industrious Hortulan is euer carefully curious in diligent cleering and curing his Plot of irregularities superfluities weeds incumbers and vndue Ballasts and of storing and furnishing it with all commendable and necessary accommodates So prudent and prouident Nature administring all things the best she can doth still without intermission moliri and labour the excretion and quitting the Bodie of all excrementitious superfluous and peccant Humours and Contents with the supplying
of all defects and reforming of all deformations which good effects could she alwayes happily attaine vnto and accomplish according to her intention there should neuer need any Physicall meanes to rectifie the state or preserue the health of the Body But the rebellious quality and ouer-maistring quantity of many potent opposites together with the repugnance of stubborne and obstructed parts and passages contracted many times by erring or vndue deuiating from the right administration or due mannage of the Six Non-naturalls doth often delude and frustrate these her carefull intendments of their worthy ends Now this noble medicine a most singular instrument of Physick Natures Hand maid powerfully oppugnes and resists her opposites and ioining with her in her salutary designes subdues and reduces them to her obedience reserates the ports and passages of the body and amandates and expells whatsoeuer is aduerse or incongruent and by consequence diuerts a world of diseases and conserues the health in good latitude A boystrous rouzing Purge like a rude Ramp that rashly pluckes-vp the Herbes with the Weedes shuffles all sorts of Humors into confusion and promiscuously with much violence to Nature eliminates and voids both good and bad as well Euchimique Balsamaries as Cacochymique Bayners whereby Nature is defatigated and debilitated and the state of the body much endammaged But milde Panala like a discreet Damsell which preserues wholesome Herbes and weeds-vp hurtfull Weeds doth by easie degrees gently pleasantly and safely nor ouer-heating the body nor perturbing the Patient raise and remoue the intrenched enemy and disburthens Nature of sincere and meere peccant Humours thereby preseruing the succulent and salutary Iuices intire and exempt both from euacuation and from incident corruption and infection which would necessarily bee contracted by their continued mixture with the vnnaturall if still retained To giue some particular instances for the necessity and vse of this preuenting Physick giue me leaue here more fully than before to present vnto your view and consideration the three Grande Colonells which vsually with their many troopes of Miscreants assault and batter our Bulwarkes of Health against all whose infesting forces Panala is furnisht with such munition that all their mischieuous machinations and designes to demolish and ruinate the whole fabricke of Mans Edifice are countermined dasht and disanuld The three Chieftaines encamping against our Cittadell are Cruditie Rheume Obstruction and vnder their Colours Bands of Sicari◠bloody Bandetti doe bandy themselues to bane our Bodies at least yea many times with stupendious tortures they distune and destroy the Heauenly Harmony of the Soule Vnder Crudities Colours are encamped Cachexiaes Hydropicall Diseases Oedemata or phlegmatique and serous Swellings flatuous discursions and painfull wringings in the Ilia and Colon the Lienterie or flux of Excrements and indigested viands with many other great and long griefes Imo Cruditas assidua Mater est omnium ferè aegritudinum Materialium Those who liue not orderly sobriè doe daily according to Lessius in his Hygiasticon make some additament of Crude Humors which attracted into the veines diffused into the whole moles and bulke of the Body as into a Spunge to the quantity of 100 Ounces in one yeere doe in tract of time putrifie and breed mortall diseases which cut off most men before their time For almost all that dye of sicknesse before Old Age dye of this Cause Amongst all sicknesses marching after Cruditie I beg license not to forget that numerous Fyle of secret but forward foes Serpentine Wormes those treacherous Vnderminers of our Microcosmique Castle which come for most part of crude superfluous Chylus and rauening for the like become Robbers of Rest Restauration and Life it selfe These petty puny Pygmies subterranean spirits bred of Corruption and humid Heat these pernicious pyoners and pyners of the Body feed-on deuoure and consume the good Iuices prouided to nourish and maintaine the whole Bulke which hauing the conuoy of Nourishment continualll cut-off doth necessarily become leane meager and misliking and the Appetite many times insatiable by reason the famelique or esurient spirits are robd of the foizon of food which the Mechanique should worke-on to furnish all the parts with congruent and competent food Oftentimes the nutrient Succi being incompetent to satiate and glut their numerous Gorges they molest and torment the intestines the very Beds they were bred in with corrodant sucking cause the Cholicke paines like to the Hypochondrique flatus the Girdle of the Spleene flux of the Bowells Distension and Inflation of the Belly and diuers times stupendious passions and in fine most dolorous death by perforating and eating-thorough the Guts Though therefore these Lumbrici bred and nourisht in the small Guts especially of the Chylous Iuices being crude and pituitous doe oft continue and quietly containe themselues therein a long time in some bodies without any manifest dammage or inconuenience and at length sans former discouery cure or care descend with the excrements into the Crassa Intestina and are with the same from thence eiected and cast out by stoole yet oftentimes in their hungry hunting after food they ascend creepe and crawle vp into the Ventricle yet sometimes produced there of putrid Ballasts defatigate and tire the Stomacke with tiring pulling and lugging hinder concoction cause much Dolour Nauseam and loathing of Meat Dry Cough Thirst Hickup Vomitings and various other violent and perillous accidents and by gnawing crawling about pestring the Mouth of the Stomacke make difficult swallowing and worse Symptomes Yea so wofully fatall are these accursed Miscreants many times to our weale that they wrecke vs in their owne wrackes for lying dead in the Bowels till they bee putrified they send vp stinking vapours and malignant fumes which affect and infect both Heart and Head causing Suffusions and Cataracts in the Eyes Falling Evills Alienation of the Minde Palpitation of the Heart Faintings Swoondings Cold and ill-sented Sweats inordinate Feuers with horrour and rigour Trembling and dissolution of the Body Convulsions and other fearfull Symptomes and other Concomitants of daingerous consequence This multiplicious Band of banefull Miscreants are the most timous and frequent infesters of the Bodies fabricke not onely assaulting tender Infancy and Childhood but euen setting vpon Manhood also with their pestiferous Troopes of Torturess which are many times found to swarme in malignant Fevers And I hold it very probable that the vntimely Death of most Children may truly be attributed to Wormes and other dints and effects dimaining from such superfluous and crude Indigestions But this dainger saith Lessius by well purging the body yeerly at Spring and Fall is preuented and the Life produced to verie Old Age. For Children therefore and all Students and others of small exercise or ill Diet it is most requisite to vse such temperate Evacuation euery yeere at such times and for all others against euery Climaterique or Seuenth and Nynth yeere according to the Counsell of Taisnerus from Marsilius Ficinus shewing that by helpe
money without yet haue I enlarged it for a bottle more of Liquor than ordinary to last and serue one man a full fortnight that it may bee continued two whole Quarters of the Moone With a pebble stone a forked sticke or other force sinke and keepe downe the Bag of Ingredients to the bottome of a small Rundlet vsuall Steane Stand or Ale kanne and tunne vnto it two Gallons of New-ale and put loose into the Vessell three ounces of Raisons of the Sunne if there be none in the Bag cleane washt and slit halfe through yet not opened nor stoned Yest the Liquor very well and bung it vp close or with a cloth couer the Stand or open vessell and shift the yest of this once in 6 or 7 dayes to continue the Ale quicke and sweet keeping it from extreame cold in winter and from heat in summer The best time of the yeere to take this potion is the Spring and the Fall of the Leafe yet it may conueniently bee vsed at any other Season so that the Patient keepe himselfe from the iniuries of Winde Raine Heat and Cold. It is commonly drunke after three dayes infusion but if the drinking of it bee deferred twice so long it will be clearer and better Take it fasting in the morning halfe a pinte or more at once or after a potcht Egge or some other little repast and two houres before Supper you may likewise drinke it one or two houres before Dinner and two or three houres after Supper also if you would purge much in few dayes but milde working for many dayes by moderate drinking is the best order In Winter scarre off the cold with a Tost and Nutmeg and Sugar if you will to preuent Night-rising and taking cold it is not amisse to take it an houre before you rise when you are vp and readie and an houre or two before dinner also if you please and none after noone and at meales the best is to forbeare it In faire weather and temperate Seasons if the body be of ability neuer intermit or forbeare your ordinarie businesse but rather to further the operation of the Potion follow your outward or field affaires or exercise but both these must bee moderate and betweene Sunne and Sunne Nor is it amisse to exercise the body in vnseasonable weather also prouided this be done euermore in this case within doores Let your meals be moderate and alwayes end them before your appetite bid you euermore rising with a good stomacke and desire of eating more and so much as with conuenience of your calling and occasions may well be refraine meats of ill iuice and hard digestion yet strong constitutions and bodies inured and accustomed to much labour coorse fare or grosse food may vse their ordinary Diet for the qualitie or kinde of meats so that they exceed not in the quantitie but raw fruits and very salt meats may not be admitted This Panala is a nourishing Potion yet a gentle purger and clenser of the Body of all ill Humors and Superfluities by Stoole by Vrine and by Sweat a pleasant Curer and a singular good preuenter of Crudities Rheums obstructions three maine fountains of infinit Infirmities and most other maladies whereunto the body of man is subiect It may with safe and good successe be vsed of young children tender women and weake bodies both in sicknesse and before for it is a comfortable rectifier of the whole state of the Body But in Consumptions of the Spirits and solid parts it cannot safely bee continued if it be made vp with purging Ingredients though without them it may be compounded to bee of excellent vse for singular comfort and strength in such wastings and all other weaknesse This is the Summe and Substance of the whole Booke Ad Beneuolos If Hackney-hosts
