¶ Of that kynde of dreames the which prophecieth of thynges to come by diuine power THe thyrde kynde of dreames is godlye which god worketh in mens myndes eyther by hym selfe or elles by his aungels suche were the prophecies of Iacob Ioseph and Daniel and other lyke which holy scripture doth affirme to come from god not of lyght or tryflyng matters but of Christe and of the gouerning of the churche king domes of theyr ordre This kynde of dremes ought well to be decerned from the other for in the other there is no truthe And this one kynde of dreames is verye certayne and true as it shall appeare better hereafter The. xi chapiter ¶ What kynde of dreames is deuilysh THe fourth kynde of dreames is diuylysh as when wytches and coniurers do dreame of feastes and playes And the deuyl hym selfe also oftētimes sheweth horrible spectacles to men in theyr slepe as Valerius wryteth of the Romayn Cassius And there was a certayne Romayne called Latinus whiche was cōmaunded in his slepe to remēbre y e consul of certayne thynges as cōcerning the stage playes the which bycause he had not done the deuyl kylled his sonne Here bothe the cause the effecte also doth declare that the dreame was deuylysshe For the deuyl alwayes endeuoureth to stablish suche customes as be wicked and noughtye and he is delyted wyth vniust death there hath chaūced manye lyke vnto this in the olde tyme no lesse superstitious And we haue hearde nowe of late dayes the vayne dreames of the Anabaptistes commaundyng synne or confirmyng errours and heresyes the whyche doubtlesse may be perceyued and iudged of godlye and wyse men The. x. chapter ¶ To what kynde of dreames we ought onely to gyue credite I Haue rehersed .iiii kyndes of dremes the why●h yf they be well ●onsydred and loked vpon it shall be easye to iudge of this commune question that is whether any thynge maye be coniectured of dreames or no and whether anye man ought to gyue credite or to truste to dreames or no. One kynde of dreames is true and certayne wherfore euery man ought to gyue credite vnto it whiche is the same kynde that prophecyeth of thynges to come by reuelation from God insomoch that they whyche haue suche dreames knowe that they come from God Iacob and Ioseph knewe that their dreames came from God and therfore they knewe the signification of them Also god doth adde a noble testimony of this vnto the profite Daniel whē Nabuchodonozor had forgotten hys dreame god shewed it agayne vnto Daniel that it shoulde be knowen that it came from hym Therfore this kynde of dreames is except from that rule which forbyddeth vs to giue credite vnto dreames For when they come from God and when God testifyeth that he is the authour of them then it is necessary to beleue them of the other dreames there ought nothyng to be affirmed And as concernyng the .iiii. kynde of dreames it is vtterly to be abhorred Dreames of the seconde kynde although theybe coniectures yet there ought to be no affirmation of them wherfore we ought to gyue no credit vnto them and for the mooste parte they be full of ambiguitie Therfore manye kynges and capitaynes haue bene deceyued with suche dreames The last battayle which Pompeius fought with Cesar he was moued to it with a dreame which promysed hym victorye bycause he had dremed y t he was in his royal seate at Rome and thought the people reioysyng in hym clapped theyr handes for ioye but Pompeius was deceyued in the interpretation For that same reioysynge with the handes of the people dyd not pretende victorie but rather the encouragementes annd prouokementes of Domitius Lentulus and Labienus whyche the morowe after hys dreame counsayled hym to fyght promysyng hym victorie and settyng his mynde on fyre w t vayne hope Darius also dreamed that he sawe the hoste of the Macedonians to go through Asia burnīg to come to Babilō and there Alexander him selfe hauyng a Percians robe to go into the churche and streyght to vanysh out of syght Therfore Darius thought that the stames of fyre dyd p●●●ende death to Alexanders army and that Alexander shoulde become captyue bycause he was decked after his countrie fassyon but by y e fyre was fignifyed the great hast of Alexander and his victoryes hys garmēt betokened that he shuld be kyng and lorde ouer the whole dominion and empire of the Pertians Hamilcar capitayne of the Carthageneans dreamed that he supped in Siracusa therfore the next daye purposyng to take the towne made battlement to the walles where it fortuned him to be taken by reason of a tumult in his owne armye so beinge a captyue he supped in the cytye as he had dreamed before Wherfore we oughte to gyue no credite to this kynde of dreames seinge they be so varyable and deceytfull Therfore let them be as coniectures which somtyme chaūce or happen But I wolde that everye man shulde thynke that they be both deceytfull coniectures and also vncertayne as many mo be Let superstition be set asyde and let vs remēber the sayinge of Salomon where manye dreames be there is moche vanitie and errour The. xiii chapter ¶ Of Venus or bodelye pleasure HIppocrates sayth that Venus or bodely lust is a parte of the fallyng euel Therfore it is not to be desyred ouer gredely nor yet vtterlye to be abhorred seyng that the kynde of al lyuyng rreatures is conserued by generation and as Celsus sayeth If it be vsed but seldome it maketh the bodye to growe and vsed often it doeth not onelye drye the bodye but also it dissolueth it vtterly bycause bothe vitall animal and natural spirit is wasted wyth the immoderate vse of it and the bodye is begyled also of hys nouryshement Howebeit whan there foloweth neither greyfe nor sorowe after it there can comme no great harme of it and the vse of it is worse in summer and in autumne then eyther in the wynter or in the spryng and it is holsommer in the nyghte then in the daye also it is better full then emptye and all maner of labour after it is vtterlye pernicious The. xiiii Chapter ¶ Of the tymes of the yere THe holsemest tyme of the yere is the sprynge and nexte vnto it is wynter sūmer is not so good and autumne is extreme perilous For they be best whych be most temperate and egal whether they be hotte or colde Therefore autumne is verye daungerous because it is hote then about noone the mornynge and euenyng bothe beyng colde therof it cōmeth that the body resolued w t the heat at noone is made starke w t the sodayn colde of the euenyng whych causeth manye diseases And in the spring where as is equalitie if there be anye in the yere the fayrest dayes be moste holsome and raynye dayes be better than clowdye w tout rayne and in wynter those dayes are beste that be not wyndye and in summer whan the westerne wynde bloweth Summe peraduenture wyll loke that I shulde haue writte of bathes seynge that there is nothyng that is more medicinable than they be But forasmuche as we englyshmen haue no vse of them and also seynge that there are dyuers whyche haue wryt of them verye well in Englysshe I thought I had no nede to entermedle wyth them yet yf anye man wylle vse them lette hym bathe hym in warme water before meat and after meate in colde and he
