according_a to_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o seem_v a_o large_a quantity_n of_o food_n be_v agreeable_a to_o winter_n then_o to_o summer_n in_o regard_n that_o in_o winter_n time_n as_o hypocrates_n affirm_v sect_n 1._o aphorism_n 15._o man_n belly_n be_v hot_a by_o reason_n that_o the_o cold_a without_o force_v the_o heat_n into_o the_o inward_a bowel_n as_o it_o be_v

draw_v out_o by_o the_o warmness_n of_o the_o air_n from_o the_o inward_a part_n as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o centre_n to_o the_o circumference_n and_o there_o dissipate_v in_o like_a manner_n dry_a and_o hot_a meat_n seem_v more_o proper_a for_o winter_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o abundance_n of_o phlegm_n which_o be_v then_o breed_v and_o be_v not_o so_o ready_o dissolve_v but_o in_o summer_n moist_a and_o cool_a meat_n be_v better_a inasmuch_o as_o through_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o outward_a air_n there_o be_v a_o great_a dissipation_n of_o humour_n and_o much_o dry_n of_o the_o body_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v according_a to_o physician_n rule_n we_o ought_v indeed_o so_o to_o do_v nevertheless_o not_o over_o scrupulous_o nor_o precise_o but_o as_o occasion_n serve_v for_o if_o opportunity_n be_v want_v there_o be_v no_o great_a care_n to_o be_v have_v touch_v this_o business_n for_o if_o we_o find_v necessity_n of_o a_o dry_a kind_n of_o diet_n in_o winter_n or_o long_o

which_o they_o who_o follow_v temperance_n may_v make_v choice_n of_o what_o they_o find_v most_o convenient_a for_o they_o 22._o the_o second_o doubt_n be_v ●efections_n whether_o this_o measure_n and_o stint_v which_o we_o have_v prescribe_v or_o any_o other_o which_o man_n shall_v find_v meet_a for_o they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v at_o one_o meal_n or_o more_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o however_o all_o the_o ancient_n who_o do_v so_o notable_o practice_v temperance_n content_v themselves_o with_o one_o meal_n a_o day_n and_o that_o either_o after_o sunset_n or_o at_o the_o nine_o

be_v that_o think_v it_o more_o convenient_a for_o old_a man_n to_o make_v two_o meal_n a_o day_n divide_v the_o foresay_a measure_n into_o two_o part_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o old_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o take_v much_o sustenance_n at_o once_o it_o be_v better_a that_o they_o shall_v eat_v often_o and_o small_a quantity_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o will_v not_o be_v

shall_v find_v it_o most_o convenient_a for_o they_o but_o very_o in_o these_o matter_n long_a custom_n bear_v great_a sway_n and_o much_o regard_n be_v to_o be_v have_v likewise_o to_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o body_n for_o if_o the_o stomach_n abound_v with_o cold_a and_o tough_a phlegm_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v mo●e_n expedient_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v but_o one_o meal_n a_o
