and_o common_a diet._n 20._o the_o seven_o rule_n forasmuch_o as_o all_o the_o difficulty_n in_o set_v and_o keep_v of_o a_o just_a measure_n proceed_v from_o the_o sensual_a appetite_n and_o the_o

that_o a_o man_n withdraw_v and_o apart_o himself_o from_o the_o view_n of_o feast_n and_o dainty_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v not_o by_o their_o sight_n and_o smell_v stir_v up_o the_o fancy_n and_o entice_v on_o gluttony_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o presence_n of_o every_o object_n do_v natural_o move_v and_o work_v upon_o the_o faculty_n whereunto_o it_o appertain_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v

and_o as_o outward_o they_o appear_v good_a pleasant_a savoury_a relish_v and_o bring_v delight_n to_o the_o palate_n but_o filthy_a sordid_a evil-savored_n and_o detestable_a as_o indeed_o after_o

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 than_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 from_o the_o circumference_n into_o the_o centre_n but_o in_o summer_n upon_o a_o clean_a contrary_a ground_n man_n belly_n become_v more_o feeble_a to_o wit_n in_o regard_n that_o the_o heat_n 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 fer_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 continue_v moist_a weather_n we_o may_v easy_o remedy_v the_o matter_n by_o increase_v our_o stint_n of_o bread_n and_o diminish_v the_o stint_n of_o our_o drink_n or_o other_o kind_n of_o moist_a nourishment_n for_o the_o abundance_n of_o drink_n and_o other_o moist_a food_n which_o be_v beneficial_a in_o dry_a weather_n will_v be_v of_o prejudice_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v continue_v many_o day_n together_o when_o the_o air_n be_v raw_a and_o cold_a for_o it_o may_v perhaps_o breed_v distillation_n hoarsness_n and_o cough_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o a_o moist_a kind_n of_o diet_n seem_v requisite_a the_o stint_n of_o the_o drink_n may_v be_v augment_v put_v a_o large_a quantity_n of_o water_n into_o the_o wine_n or_o instead_o of_o wine_n we_o may_v use_v small_a beer_n which_o will_v sufficient_o moisten_v and_o refresh_v the_o holy_a father_n of_o old_a seem_v not_o to_o have_v make_v any_o account_n at_o all_o of_o this_o diversity_n of_o season_n have_v appoint_v

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 refection_n the_o second_o doubt_n be_v 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 hour_n of_o the_o day_n that_o be_v three_o hour_n after_o noon_n as_o cassianus_n report_v in_o the_o second_o collation_n of_o abbot_n moses_n chap._n 25._o and_o 26._o nevertheless_o many_o there_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 oppress_v with_o meat_n and_o make_v their_o digestion_n easy_o wherefore_o they_o may_v take_v 7._o or_o 8._o ounce_n at_o dinner_n and_o at_o evening_n 3._o or_o 4._o or_o otherwise_o as_o they_o 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 more_o expedient_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v but_o one_o meal_n a_o day_n in_o regard_n that_o there_o be_v a_o good_a space_n of_o time_n requisite_a for_o the_o concoct_n and_o disperse_v of_o they_o and_o this_o i_o have_v by_o experience_n abundant_o make_v proof_n of_o yet_o notwithstanding_o if_o the_o meal_n be_v defer_v till_o night_n it_o will_v be_v good_a to_o take_v some_o small_a modicum_n at_o noon_n and_o such_o in_o particular_a as_o may_v help_v to_o dry_v up_o the_o vicious_a moisture_n of_o the_o stomach_n or_o if_o so_o be_v the_o chief_a meal_n be_v a_o dinner_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o at_o night_n to_o take_v some_o dry_a
