Wherein also, by way of introduction, the nature and choice of habitable places, with the true vse of our famous bathes of Bathe is perspicuously demonstrated. By To: Venner, Doctor of Physicke, at Bathe in the spring, and fall, and at other times in the burrough of North-Petherton neere to the ancient hauen-towne of Bridgewater in Somerset-shire.; Via rectam ad vitam longam.

that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o time_n of_o suck_v of_o yought_n of_o middle_a age_n of_o old_a age_n now_o to_o the_o question_n i_o answer_v negative_o for_o those_o beast_n or_o fowl_n that_o have_v by_o nature_n moist_a flesh_n be_v for_o goodness_n of_o meat_n more_o wholesome_a when_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o full_a age_n then_o when_o they_o be_v suck_v or_o very_o young_a because_o that_o

of_o mostman_n great_o desire_v and_o for_o some_o certain_a body_n very_o profitable_a for_o very_o these_o kind_n of_o beast_n that_o be_v natural_o moist_a be_v when_o they_o be_v young_a wholesome_a enough_o yea_o very_o profitable_a in_o the_o summer-season_n for_o choleric_a and_o dry_a body_n because_o they_o yield_v a_o moist_a nourishment_n which_o do_v well_o temper_n and_o

very_a hard_a concoction_n and_o breed_v a_o evil_a and_o melancholic_a juice_n yet_o they_o be_v good_a enough_o for_o robustious_a and_o rustic_a body_n whether_o flesh_n that_o be_v corn_v and_o

than_o that_o which_o be_v fresh_a and_o unsalted_a because_o the_o salt_n do_v purify_v the_o flesh_n and_o make_v it_o the_o more_o savoury_a by_o dry_v up_o and_o consume_v the_o watery_a and_o

with_o salt_n according_a as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o complexion_n of_o the_o eater_n and_o the_o time_n of_o year_n shall_v require_v because_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v very_o
