all inconueniences harmes and hindraunces thereof The iiij Chapter FOrasmuch as both the distemperature that is Cold Moyst and that also which is Colde and Dry growing into excesse and drawinge into extremitie oppresseth and deadly woundeth the Memory I haue thought good into this worke to inserte and enterlace some such notes as maye serue to the furtheraunce thereof and preseruatioÌ„ of it from all such myssehappes harmes and discoÌ„modities as in any wyse threaten thereunto annoyaunce And howe the same is to be done and brought to passe I purpose compendiouslye by the way to declare sythens not to Studentes only but to al sorts of men in general it shal be a thing right expedient and profitable For al the actions and dealinges either publike or priuate which a man taketh in hand and enterpryseth all his affayres cogitations deuyses meditations cares purposes and studyes all labour and industry the is taken for doing and speaking wherin is any exercise at all of the minde caÌ„not be brought aboute and accomplished withoute the helpe of Memorie For in this Treasure the speciallest chiefest parte of reason vnderstaÌ„ding and iudgment resteth and out of it as out of a moste rich and plentifull Storehouse is fetched and taken a coÌ„plete furniture of most hiddeÌ„ and farre fetched matters Which power and vertue of Memory if it further helpe vs not as a faythfull maintener and keeper of the things which wee deuise ymagine and learne all be it neuer so precious excellent goeth to wrack and is raked vp in obliuion The proper and peculiar place assigned allotted for Memorie is the Braine the mansion dwelling house of wit and all the Senses which being affected or by anye disteÌ„perature discrased all the functions and offices of nature are semblably passioned insomuch that wit reason vnderstaÌ„ding and iudgement being once empayred aud diminished there steppeth in place Sottage forgetfulnes amazednesse dotage folishnes lacke of right wits doltishnes idiocie Which affects imperfections may happen to meÌ„ many wayes as by some blow or wound in the head by some rupture or cracking of the Skull by some fall or coÌ„tuston by pestilent diseases maladies which of the contagion of Ayre on eche syde enclosinge vs inspyreth infection into our bodyes and besyde externall accidentes which sometime cannot well be auoyded there bee some harmes which through our owne wilfulnes and disorder wee heape vppon our selues incurring thereby much inconuenience and these be Surphettes Drunkennes Gluttonie vnseasonable watchinge meates colde and Phelgmaticke immoderate vse of Venery and carnall company wyth WomeÌ„ thereby the quicknes of witte is blunted and waxeth dull Reason Vnderstanding and Iudgement dymmed and the strength of nature in many so weakened and enfeebled that in three dayes space or more after vneth is it able to recouer the vigour lusty plight wherin it was before And not this discommodity alone but certaine other sicklie and foule affections insurge therevpon no lesse pernicious to the mind then daungerous to the body vtterlye ouerthrowinge oppressing and ruinating the power Memoratyue For euen as toomuch drynes of the brayne gotten through excessiue surphet lacke of expediente foode and Venerie is very hurtful to Memory because that quality is nothing apte to take anye impressions or fourmes of thinges for drynes hardnes taketh no printes nor Images so also toomuch moysture proceding of ydlenes slouth immoderat sleepe moyst meats quight destroy drowne Memory Moysture in deede is more capable wil soner take the print formes of things but by reasoÌ„ of softnes the same taryeth not but passeth away agayne euen as staÌ„pes or Seales being affixed and imprinted into substance or matter that is toomoyst liquide and fluible maketh therin no stampe forme or print but such as preseÌ„tly fleeteth and immediatly vanisheth awaye agayne Forasmuch therefore as the vertue and power Memoratiue consisteth in a sure faythful and stedfast keeping and conseruation of Images it foloweth that the same in ChildreÌ„ and in as many others as haue moyst Braynes is weak nothing retentiue Old folkes also haue the same imbecillity and forgetfulnes and the reason is because their braynes be so cold and dry that nothinge is able to enter or fyrmelye to bee imprynted therein and for these causes both sortes of them be obliuious and nothinge Memoratyue For of this as also of all the inward senses the power and facultie is according to the temperature of the Brayne For oute of the grosse substance of that part or wheÌ„ the Spyrits and Humours therein be grosse thicke and wyth manye vapours pestered proceedeth Obliuion slownes to vnderstande hardnes to conceyue Againe of a moyst Brayne that is too liquide commeth forth a dul or blunt sense and a Memory nothing retentyue but sonne forgetting And a dry ConstitutioÌ„ of the Brayne maketh a very weake and ill memory by reason that it wil not easely admit anye impression euen like vnto a piece of Leade Yron or Steele which will not easelye suffer the poynte of anye engrauinge Toole to enter and pearce into it A good stedfast and fryme Memory therefore is to be referred vnto the disposition and temperature of the Brayne this power of the minde is ascribed to the benefite of Nature but yet so that it may be holpeÌ„ and maynteyned in his perfect state by Arte and if perhaps it decay or take harme yet through care industry it may againe be restored And therfore special care must be employed and great diligence taken that the bodye may in perfect health and sound constitution be preserued that moderatioÌ„ both in life and diet be vsed always within the compasse of temperauÌ„ce and frugality that y meate be exactly concocted that the mynde be
