small_a the_o heat_n disperse_v soon_o the_o meat_n over_o all_o the_o capacity_n thereof_o and_o make_v a_o fantastical_a fullness_n so_o that_o little_a meat_n suffice_v such_o other_o some_o have_v large_a stomach_n and_o can_v and_o in_o that_o their_o stomach_n be_v cold_a a_o little_a meat_n fill_v they_o but_o in_o that_o their_o stomach_n be_v large_a they_o feed_v much_o and_o a_o long_a time_n second_o which_o of_o the_o twain_o those_o which_o have_v a_o strong_a heat_n or_o a_o weak_a be_v able_a long_a to_o abide_v hunger_n sure_o i_o suppose_v that_o they_o which_o have_v the_o strong_a may_v fast_v long_a since_o for_o the_o more_o part_n such_o person_n be_v of_o the_o strong_a constitution_n howbeit_o this_o distinction_n be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o there_o be_v two_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o fast_v to_o wit_n the_o resolution_n of_o natural_a heat_n &_o the_o utter_a quench_v of_o the_o same_o &_o the_o strong_a nature_n be_v able_a best_a to_o sustain_v they_o both_o and_o second_o the_o discommodity_n be_v to_o be_v weigh_v which_o ensue_v fast_v of_o which_o the_o strong_a nature_n sustain_v more_o than_o do_v the_o weak_a three_o how_o chance_v it_o that_o those_o who_o power_n be_v small_a and_o narrow_a can_v abide_v hunger_n better_o than_o they_o which_o have_v wide_o because_o through_o wide_a and_o large_a pore_n the_o body_n be_v more_o abundant_o resolve_v &_o less_o through_o the_o narrow_a and_o small_a pore_n wherefore_o the_o remain_v which_o shall_v provoke_v appetite_n four_o do_v choler_n nourish_v or_o not_o unto_o this_o demand_n we_o answer_v avicen_n that_o although_o galen_n and_o isaac_n say_v that_o it_o nourish_v not_o because_o blood_n only_o nourish_v yet_o avicen_n hold_v opinion_n that_o choler_n nourish_v also_o which_o two_o opinion_n of_o singular_a learned_a man_n we_o must_v make_v to_o agree_v after_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o choler_n whereof_o the_o one_o which_o be_v contain_v within_o the_o gall_n can_v nourish_v the_o other_o necessary_o concur_v with_o the_o blood_n wherewith_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v of_o a_o choleric_a constitution_n be_v as_o well_o nourish_v as_o the_o sanguine_a part_n be_v with_o the_o blood_n five_o whether_o can_v the_o sick_a or_o the_o whole_a best_a endure_v hunger_n some_o hold_n opinion_n that_o the_o sick_a can_v because_o natural_a heat_n in_o a_o sick_a person_n be_v busy_a in_o resolve_v more_o fumosity_n breath_n and_o vapour_n rise_v from_o the_o humour_n then_o in_o a_o whole_a person_n howbeit_o this_o reason_n be_v weak_a first_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o part_n nourish_v nor_o spirit_n engender_v by_o corrupt_a humour_n and_o second_o if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o shall_v there_o be_v more_o spirit_n in_o a_o sick_a body_n then_o in_o a_o whole_a and_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o carrier_n of_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n into_o althe_z part_n the_o sick_a shall_v be_v strong_a than_o the_o whole_a which_o be_v evident_o false_a but_o to_o grow_v to_o the_o purpose_n we_o answer_v that_o whereas_o the_o sick_a tolerate_v hunger_n better_o than_o the_o whole_a person_n there_o be_v three_o cause_n to_o be_v give_v the_o fist_n be_v because_o nature_n be_v occupy_v about_o the_o sickness_n and_o the_o cause_n thereof_o the_o second_o for_o that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v infect_v and_o cheak_v with_o the_o corrupt_a matter_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o desire_v nutriment_n and_o the_o three_o be_v because_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o sick_a party_n be_v as_o it_o be_v lay_v a_o sleep_n and_o weaken_a ●auseth_v they_o to_o have_v no_o appetite_n unto_o meat_n six_o whether_o in_o the_o force_n of_o a_o strong_a or_o weak_a stomach_n best_o able_a to_o abide_v hunger_n the_o force_n of_o a_o strong_a stomach_n desire_v most_o but_o it_o may_v best_o sustain_v forbear_v of_o meat_n and_o contrariwise_o the_o appetite_n of_o a_o weak_a stomach_n look_v less_o for_o meat_n &_o be_v not_o so_o well_o able_a to_o abide_v delay_n from_o it_o seventh_o which_o of_o the_o twain_o be_v best_a able_a to_o endure_v hunger_n he_o that_o be_v accustom_v to_o eat_v much_o meat_n or_o little_a it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o he_o that_o use_v to_o eat_v much_o meat_n may_v best_o fast_v for_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o great_a raven_a he_o have_v but_o small_a heat_n and_o therefore_o may_v best_o endure_v hunger_n &_o so_o likewise_o contrariwise_o because_o of_o the_o contrary_a cause_n eight_o whether_o do_v fast_v more_o grieve_v man_n in_o hot_a or_o cold_a season_n of_o the_o year_n it_o be_v more_o noisome_a in_o summer_n then_o in_o winter_n because_o the_o body_n be_v more_o resolve_v in_o summer_n than_o it_o be_v in_o winter_n and_o therefore_o ought_v then_o to_o be_v feed_v more_o abundant_o and_o very_o often_o and_o in_o winter_n it_o suffice_v to_o eat_v once_o in_o a_o day_n ninthe_o why_o be_v those_o that_o feed_v griediestly_a soon_o fill_v hereunto_o we_o must_v answer_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o saturnalia_fw-la that_o they_o which_o feed_v griede_o eat_v in_o much_o air_n with_o their_o meat_n by_o reasen_a of_o their_o wide_a gape_n and_o often_o fetch_v of_o their_o breath_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o vein_n be_v fill_v with_o air_n the_o appetite_n be_v full_o satisfy_v ten_o wherefore_o be_v we_o able_a to_o abide_v hot_a meat_n and_o drink_n in_o our_o mouth_n which_o we_o can_v for_o heat_n suffer_v in_o our_o hand_n we_o answer_v as_o appear_v in_o the_o place_n before_o allege_v for_o that_o the_o natural_a heat_n which_o be_v contain_v with_o in_o the_o inner_a part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v very_o sharp_a and_o vehement_a and_o therefore_o it_o overcome_v &_o weaken_v whatsoever_o other_o hot_a substance_n come_v within_o the_o mouth_n wherefore_o then_o when_o thou_o put_v any_o extreme_a hot_a thing_n into_o thy_o mouth_n gape_v not_o wide_a nor_o fetch_v not_o thy_o breath_n in_o often_o think_v thereby_o to_o cool_v it_o but_o rather_o shut_v thy_o lip_n almost_o close_o together_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o great_a heat_n which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o belly_n may_v help_v the_o mouth_n and_o that_o great_a heat_n overcome_v the_o lesser_a as_o for_o the_o hand_n that_o can_v abide_v no_o hot_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v help_v by_o no_o other_o heat_n than_o be_v in_o itself_o the._n 4._o chap._n contain_v 7._o question_n some_o man_n may_v haply_o move_v this_o question_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o when_o a_o man_n which_o be_v hungry_a drink_v thereby_o he_o assuage_v his_o hunger_n but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o thirst_n and_o eat_v his_o thirst_n be_v not_o thereby_o slake_v unto_o this_o demand_n there_o be_v answer_v make_v in_o the_o saturn_n ▪_o that_o there_o be_v no_o impediment_n but_o that_o liquor_n may_v pass_v into_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o replenish_v the_o vein_n thereof_o but_o the_o substance_n of_o meat_n be_v more_o grosser_n and_o it_o can_v pass_v into_o the_o vein_n until_o it_o be_v digest_v by_o little_a and_o little_a so_o that_o it_o can_v slake_v the_o thirst_n which_o it_o find_v yea_o rather_o it_o soak_v up_o the_o moisture_n which_o it_o find_v whereby_o thirst_n which_o be_v the_o want_n of_o moisture_n be_v more_o increase_v second_o such_o as_o be_v fast_v whether_o be_v they_o more_o an_o hunger_v then_o a_o thirst_n by_o the_o same_o place_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o thirst_v most_o forasmuch_o as_o natural_a heat_n work_v continual_o upon_o the_o food_n and_o nutriment_n which_o we_o receive_v consume_v it_o away_o which_o also_o appear_v in_o child_n while_o they_o be_v infant_n which_o consume_v and_o concoct_v great_a store_n of_o nutriment_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o vehement_a heat_n but_o contrariwise_o we_o perceive_v how_o easy_o old_a man_n can_v sustain_v fast_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o default_n of_o natural_a heat_n in_o they_o but_o in_o the_o middle_a age_n if_o natural_a heat_n be_v stir_v up_o with_o exercise_n it_o procure_v a_o strong_a appetite_n unto_o meat_n for_o want_v of_o natural_a heat_n wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v always_o heat_n in_o appetite_n &_o moisture_n be_v the_o peculiar_a substance_n whereon_o heat_n work_v if_o when_o a_o man_n be_v hungry_a he_o desire_v meat_n sure_o heat_n especial_o require_v his_o own_o nutriment_n which_o be_v receive_v the_o whole_a body_n be_v therewith_o it_o refresh_v &_o can_v that_o long_o tarry_v for_o more_o sound_a sustenance_n three_o why_o be_v it_o that_o we_o conceive_v more_o delight_n in_o drink_v when_o we_o be_v a_o thirst_n then_o in_o eat_v when_o we_o be_v hungry_a drink_v as_o a_o substance_n

of_o the_o body_n constan_n of_o which_o nature_n be_v our_o meat_n according_a to_o the_o assertion_n of_o avicen_n but_o indeed_o constantinus_n be_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n say_v that_o air_n be_v more_o necessary_a to_o the_o body_n prove_v the_o same_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n by_o reason_n thus_o life_n consist_v in_o natural_a heat_n because_o natural_a heat_n be_v the_o begin_v of_o life_n wherefore_o that_o thing_n which_o temper_v natural_a heat_n retain_v it_o in_o the_o natural_a temperature_n be_v more_o necessary_a but_o the_o air_n which_o by_o way_n of_o breathe_n we_o draw_v in_o be_v of_o such_o sort_n wherefore_o it_o be_v more_o necessary_a by_o experience_n thus_o if_o a_o man_n be_v sudden_o bring_v out_o of_o a_o stink_v close_a prison_n first_o he_o desire_v to_o take_v the_o fresh_a air_n and_o afterward_o call_v for_o meat_n and_o drink_v but_o against_o the_o reason_n first_o allege_v it_o may_v be_v answer_v negative_o for_o

air_n be_v more_o necessary_a to_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n for_o that_o it_o respect_v the_o life_n principal_o and_o immediate_o second_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v which_o of_o the_o two_o meat_n or_o drink_v be_v more_o necessary_a unto_o life_n to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o meat_n be_v although_o that_o drink_n be_v common_o more_o desire_v than_o meat_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o be_v that_o that_o be_v more_o necessary_a which_o restore_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v lose_v then_o that_o which_o serve_v only_o to_o convey_v the_o juice_n about_o all_o the_o body_n but_o meat_n be_v ordain_v to_o restore_v the_o part_n and_o drink_v to_o carry_v the_o meat_n about_o the_o body_n wherefore_o the_o conclusion_n be_v manifest_a and_o that_o drink_v be_v more_o greedy_o desire_v the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o drink_n delay_v the_o vehemency_n of_o natural_a heat_n in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v more_o necessary_a unto_o life_n then_o meat_n as_o be_v the_o air_n also_o thus_o drink_n have_v two_o office_n first_o it_o convey_v the_o meat_n unto_o all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o be_v meat_n a_o thing_n more_o necessary_a than_o drink_n second_o it_o mitigate_v the_o natural_a heat_n and_o preserve_v it_o in_o the_o just_a temperature_n and_o be_v thereby_o more_o necessary_a than_o meat_n wherefore_o any_o live_a creature_n can_v
