and_o supper_n from_o these_o word_n of_o galen_n a_o threefold_a reason_n may_v be_v gather_v first_o in_o rest_n the_o body_n be_v not_o move_v nor_o toss_v up_o and_o down_o so_o that_o the_o meat_n may_v lie_v apt_o in_o the_o stomach_n not_o fluctuate_a nor_o stir_v from_o place_n to_o place_n which_o help_v concoction_n because_o concoction_n require_v rest_n second_o in_o sleep_n the_o

in_o those_o that_o sleep_v it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a which_o appear_v also_o by_o the_o pulse_n and_o breath_n which_o be_v strong_a sleep_v than_o wake_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o dinner_n ought_v to_o be_v large_a be_v prove_v by_o the_o follow_a reason_n and_o authority_n the_o authority_n be_v take_v from_o actuarius_n and_o avicen_n who_o advise_v to_o divide_v our_o meat_n into_o three_o part_n two_o whereof_o must_v be_v eat_v at_o dinner_n and_o the_o three_o at_o supper_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v the_o verse_n of_o the_o salern_n school_n which_o be_v in_o english_a thus_o at_o supper_n if_o you_o fill_v with_o meat_n your_o stomach_n your_o pain_n will_v be_v great_a if_o you_o desire_v a_o quiet_a night_n make_v a_o supper_n short_a and_o light_a their_o authority_n be_v settle_v upon_o strong_a reason_n first_o between_o dinner_n and_o supper_n there_o be_v but_o seven_o or_o eight_o hour_n at_o most_o between_o supper_n and_o dinner_n about_o sixteen_o but_o if_o sleep_n be_v advantageous_a for_o concoction_n it_o will_v be_v perfect_v about_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o night_n and_o hunger_n will_v immediate_o succeed_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o a_o man_n rise_v out_o of_o his_o bed_n in_o the_o morning_n he_o be_v less_o hungry_a than_o before_o supper_n which_o make_v it_o clear_a that_o concoction_n be_v more_o slow_o perform_v in_o sleep_n then_o in_o wake_v second_o sleep_v after_o dinner_n in_o those_o that_o be_v not_o accustom_v to_o it_o cause_n the_o appetite_n not_o to_o be_v so_o quick_a at_o the_o hour_n of_o supper_n and_o a_o sensible_a oppression_n of_o the_o stomach_n by_o meat_n which_o show_v that_o concoction_n be_v most_o imperfect_a in_o sleep_n for_o if_o sleep_n help_v concoction_n it_o will_v be_v alike_o profitable_a to_o all_o three_o those_o that_o wake_v be_v most_o hungry_a whence_o hipp._n 6._o epid._n sect._n 4._o aph._n 20._o call_v it_o greedy_a watchfulness_n so_o those_o that_o watch_n beyond_o their_o custom_n till_o late_o at_o night_n soon_o perceive_v hunger_n so_o those_o that_o press_v out_o wine_n and_o oil_n because_o they_o be_v perpetual_o awake_a they_o eat_v much_o and_o often_o four_o if_o sleep_n do_v promote_v concoction_n a_o man_n ought_v then_o to_o sleep_v present_o after_o meal_n because_o the_o meat_n be_v then_o more_o solid_a require_v the_o great_a heat_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o because_o the_o first_o hour_n work_n be_v hard_a but_o this_o be_v all_o perform_v wake_v otherwise_o the_o stomach_n will_v be_v much_o oppress_v five_o those_o who_o have_v a_o weak_a stomach_n and_o a_o bad_a digesttion_n be_v more_o disturb_v by_o night_n after_o the_o first_o sleep_n then_o by_o day_n in_o the_o afternoon_n which_o argue_v that_o in_o sleep_n concoction_n be_v difficult_a six_o celsus_n advise_v that_o in_o the_o long_a day_n it_o be_v better_a to_o sleep_v at_o noon_n before_o meat_n for_o no_o other_o reason_n doubtless_o but_o because_o sleep_v retard_v concoction_n seven_o in_o sleep_n the_o heat_n run_v to_o its_o fountain_n but_o the_o other_o part_n be_v leave_v destitute_a more_o than_o in_o wake_v and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v awake_v the_o heat_n be_v more_o equal_o diffuse_v through_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v less_o heat_n in_o the_o stomach_n when_o a_o man_n sleep_v then_o when_o he_o wake_v eight_o in_o the_o daytime_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n advantage_v concoction_n for_o the_o sun_n as_o arist_n affirm_v 2._o phys_n 2._o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o concoction_n in_o the_o day_n have_v a_o double_a heat_n which_o that_o which_o be_v do_v by_o night_n want_v nine_o the_o situation_n of_o the_o stomach_n in_o those_o that_o be_v awake_a make_v more_o to_o the_o furtherance_n of_o concoction_n because_o a_o upright_a posture_n cause_v the_o meat_n to_o descend_v more_o easy_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o stomach_n which_o be_v more_o fleshy_a but_o in_o those_o that_o lie_v it_o only_o touch_v the_o side_n thereof_o so_o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o stomach_n can_v shut_v as_o it_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o sleep_v at_o noon_n hurt_v less_o in_o a_o posture_n of_o sit_v then_o lie_v ten_o the_o phlegm_n which_o in_o the_o daytime_n be_v expel_v at_o the_o nostril_n and_o throat_n in_o the_o night_n flow_v down_o into_o the_o stomach_n and_o retard_v the_o concoction_n which_o inconvenience_n molest_v not_o those_o that_o wake_v last_o experience_n confirm_v this_o for_o a_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v very_o few_o man_n who_o will_v not_o ingenuous_o confess_v that_o they_o find_v themselves_o better_a after_o a_o light_n then_o great_a supper_n and_o cardan_n testify_v that_o he_o do_v ask_v many_o man_n that_o live_v to_o a_o hundred_o year_n who_o tell_v he_o that_o they_o use_v very_o slender_a supper_n to_o these_o we_o may_v add_v the_o example_n of_o telephus_n the_o grammarian_n relate_v by_o galen_n 5._o of_o preserve_a health_n who_o live_v almost_o to_o a_o hundred_o year_n his_o word_n be_v these_o he_o eat_v raw_a honey_n mix_v with_o rice_n pottage_n about_o the_o three_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n about_o the_o seventeen_o he_o dine_v use_v salad_n first_o than_o river_n fish_n or_o bird_n in_o the_o evening_n he_o content_v himself_o only_o with_o bread_n sop_v in_o wine_n we_o therefore_o convict_v by_o the_o force_n of_o these_o latter_a reason_n and_o much_o more_o by_o daily_a experience_n do_v believe_v that_o supper_n ought_v to_o be_v more_o spare_v then_o dinner_n yet_o we_o grant_v as_o in_o the_o theorem_n be_v mention_v that_o those_o who_o be_v in_o perfect_a health_n and_o have_v a_o strong_a stomach_n may_v either_o eat_v as_o much_o or_o more_o at_o supper_n then_o at_o dinner_n so_o that_o the_o whole_a quantity_n of_o both_o meal_n do_v not_o exceed_v moderation_n for_o they_o have_v a_o good_a concoction_n both_o night_n and_o day_n and_o here_o may_v be_v repeat_v the_o sentence_n of_o celsus_n that_o a_o man_n in_o perfect_a health_n need_v not_o tie_v himself_o to_o any_o law_n nay_o if_o a_o man_n of_o a_o weak_a constitution_n use_v but_o little_a aliment_n and_o take_v a_o less_o quantity_n at_o dinner_n he_o may_v doubtless_o make_v a_o better_a meal_n at_o supper_n whereby_o the_o whole_a quantity_n of_o meat_n which_o be_v take_v in_o one_o day_n may_v suffice_v for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o custom_n of_o man_n now_o a_o day_n who_o eat_v their_o fill_n at_o dinner_n certain_o they_o will_v be_v very_o much_o oppress_v shall_v they_o eat_v large_o at_o supper_n and_o then_o the_o mention_a verse_n of_o the_o salern_n school_n be_v verify_v but_o this_o rule_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o who_o be_v subject_a to_o flux_n and_o catarrh_n for_o by_o night_n the_o flegmy_a humour_n flow_v from_o the_o brain_n into_o the_o stomach_n and_o disturb_v the_o concoction_n on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o eat_v but_o little_a meat_n at_o supper_n the_o pituitous_a humour_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o natural_a heat_n and_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o increase_v again_o as_o in_o those_o that_o sup_v large_o because_o from_o the_o abundance_n of_o meat_n many_o vapour_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o stomach_n to_o the_o head_n and_o those_o that_o be_v so_o affect_v after_o a_o light_a supper_n sleep_v quiet_o but_o if_o they_o
