is that Must ingendreth the Stone land especially that which is in the Rains which is ruddy and lightly t●ang●ble by reason of opilation that it causeth through the grosse substance thereof And this is very certain it the Must be of very swéet Wines whose Lées be nothing biting or sharp For Must that hath sharp and biting Lées preserveth a man from the Stone because it maketh one to vrine often like as some Renish Must doth that causeth Sand or Gravell to be seen in the vrine the which doth often provoke one to make water This often making water washeth away the small Gravell that cleaveth to the mans Reyns and so be avoydeth it Potus aquae sumptus sit elenti valde nocivus Infrigidat stomachum ●ibum nititur fore crudum He that drinks water when he feeds on meat Doth divers harms unto himself beget It cooles the stomack with a crude infesting And voids the meat again without digesting Hures that ●ome by drinving of water Here are declared two hurts that come by drinking of Water The first is drinking of Water hurteth ones stomack that eateth by reason that Water cooleth and looseneth the stomack and especially it destroyeth the appetite The second hurt is dringking of Water with meat letteth digestion for it maketh the meat that is then eaten to be cawish after the mind of Avicen For as Avicen saith Much Water should not be drunk after meat because it divideth the stomack and the meat and causeth it to swim in the stomack And he saith That when Nature dath digest meat and that a sufficient quantity of water is mingled therewith then it we drink more Water after that it letteth very much the digestion that was begin And again Avicen saith ● Avicen car tract 11 cap. 4. vin● That drinking of water should be eschewed except it be to help the meat down when it slicketh or descendeth slowly but with meat water should never be taken or used Averroes in his Comment sheweth the reason and saith To drink water upon the meat maketh the stomack cold ere it be thorow hote and maketh the meat rawish and also it causeth the meat to swim in the stomack and will not let it stick fast whereas it should conveniently digest The operation of the stomack is to make a good mixtion of things received therein and to digest them well That done there followeth an ordinary and a naturall separation of pure and vnpure things And as agreat quantity of water being put into a Pot slaketh the seething of the meate therein so likewise it chanceth in the stomack by drinking of much water But to drink a little quantity of water without meat before it descend down into the stomack is not forbidden but allowed especially if one be very thirsty for a little quantity of cold water taken after the foresaid manner easeth the stomack and quencheth the thirst The coldnesse of the water enforceth the heat of mans body to descend to the very bottome of the stomack and so fortifieth the digestion thereof Thus saith Avicen But know withall that though water be more convenient to quench thirst then wine yet ●●ine for a mans health is more wholesome then water And though water vniversally quench thirst better then wine because it in cold and moyst yet to make a naturall and good como●xtion of meats and to convey them to the extreame parts of mans Body wine is better then water For wine through his subtile substance and operation mingleth it self better with meat then water doth and nature delighteth more in wine then in water therefore the members draw wine more sooner vnto them mingling it with the meat The miring in this manner is as a boyling or séething of things together which is greatly hope by the heat of the wine but coldnesse of the water letteth it So then it appeareth that wine in mingling with meat and dilating of the same is better then wa●er For wine by reason that it is subtile of substance and of a vertuous heat is a marvellous piercer And so it followeth that wine dilateth or spreadeth more then water wherein is no vertuous heat nor substance of ayre nor fire Furthermore water is not so wholesome drink as wine is for water hindreth the nourishment of the body avi 2 1 ca. de re● aqua vi●i by reason that it nourisheth little or nothing at all so that the more watrish that the meat is the lesse it nourisheth Therefore it is very wholesom to drink wine without meat For wine is a great and a speciall nourishment and are restorative for it nourisheth swiftly as it is aforesaid Further ye shall vnderstand that to drink water with meat is not onely hurtfull but also in many other causes which are declared by Avicen First it is vnwholesome for a man to drink fasting because it pierceth into the body by all the principal members thereof and it destroyeth the naturall heat This is of a truth if one that is truely fasting drink it But it a drunken man drink it fasting it doth not greatly hurt him for a drunkard fasting is not vtterly fasting because his stomack is not vacant but somewhat remaineth of the other days ingu●gin● and the drinking of water in the morning doth both wash the stomack and represseth the vapors and fumes and disposeth it to receive a new sustenance The second hurt is to drinke water after great labour and travell and likewise ater the fleshly act between man and woman for then the pores of the body be very open whereby the water entreth into the bottome of the members and mortifieth the naturall heat which heat also after the fleshly act is weakned The third inconvenience is to drink water after baining specially if one bain himself fasting for then the candites and passages of the body he very open wherefore the water then entring into them hurteth much as is aforesaid And Avicen saith That it is to be feared lest drinking of water Avic 6 quarti suma 2 cap. ultimo fasting after baining and after carnall copulation should corrupt the complexion and breed the Dropsie Fourthly it is hurtfull to drink cold water to quench fained thirst in the night as it chanceth to sur●eytures and drunkards for by drinking cold water the resolution and digestion of the salt humour is prohibited But in case that one be so exceeding thirsty that neither the coldnesse of breathing nor washing of his mouth with cold water can suffi●e then let him drink cold water out of a cup that hath a narrow mouth or supping it that the water may more slowly come vnto the brim of the stomack for so it shall best quench his thirst and lesse thereof shall be drunk and then it shall not vtterly destroy digestion Fifthly it is gen●rall ill for whole folkes to drink much cold water for it quencheth naturall heat it griedeth the breast and marreth the appetite of the stomack and it is very

humet flegma sic illi vis fit aquosa Sicca ealet Colera sic igus sit simulata Melancholia friget sic●at quasi terra The bloud is hot and moyst like to the ayr And therefore therewith carryeth best compare Flegme cold and moyst even in his chiefest matter Bearing his best resemblance with the water Sullen is Melancholy cold and dry And to the Earth it self doth best apply But Choler being hot and dry desires To meet he cares not with how many fires For a further knowledge avi 1. doe 4. c. 1. know beside that after Avicen There be four humors in mans body Bloud F●egme Choler and Melancholy as is said The best of them is Bloud First because it is the matter of mans spirits in whom consisteth mans life and operations Secondly because it is comfortable to the principles of mans life it is temperatly hot and moyst Thirdly because it restoreth and nourisheth the body more then the other humors And it is called the treasure of Nature For if it be lost Death followeth forthwith Next to bloud in goodness is Flegme First by reason that if need be it is apt to be turned into bloud Secondly because it is very neer like humidity which is as the foundation of life After Flegme in goodness is Choler which is partner with naturall heat so long as it keepeth convenient measure Then followeth Melancholy as dregs and dirt removed apart from the principals of life as enemy to joy and liberality and of neer kindred to age and death Secondly note that in the division of humors there are two kinds of bloud that is to say naturall and vnnaturall Naturall bloud that is to say Veyn bloud which is ruddy and obscure and Artery bloud is ruddy and clear without ill savour and in comparison of other humors it is very sweet Of vnnaturall is two sorts the one is vnnaturall in quantity that is to say which is changed from good complexion in it self or else by mingling of another humor There is another vnnaturall bloud which through mingling of other humors is ill both in quality and substance quantity and in proportion of the one to the other And this is double for the one is not naturall by mingling of an ill humor that commeth to him from without The other is vnnaturall by mingling of an ill humour engendred in the selfe blood as when part of the blood is putrified and the subtile part thereof is turned into Choler and the gross part into melancholy or else into Choler or the melancholy or else both remaineth in the blood And this vnnatural blood by mingling of an ill humor va●yeth from natural blood many wares First in substance for it is grosser and fowler sith melancholy is mingled there with or ●lse it is more subtile when watrishnes or ●●trine choler is mingled therewith Secondly in colour for sometime when phlegm is mingled therewith it inclineth to whiteness or through melancholy to blackness Thirdly in favor for by mingling of putrified humors if is more stinking or else by mingling of raw humors it hath no savor Fourthly in tallage for by mingling of Choler it inclineth to bitternes and by melancholy to sowernes or the phlegm of unsavorines Also of phlegm there be two kinds natural and vnnatural Natural is that which within a certain space wil be bloud for phlegm is vndigested blood There is another spice of phlegm which is sweet and somwhat warm if it be compared to the bodily hear But comparing it to the ruddy bloud and choler it is cold Flegm is naturally white and this is called sweet phlegm extending this name sweet to all the talages delighting the taste for otherwise the naturall phlegm is not sweet but unsavory and waterish and very neer the ●allage of water And to this phlegm nature hath not given a proper Mansion as she hath done to Choler and melancholy but nature maketh it run with the blood for it is a very néer similitude to blood And of this phlegm there be two necessityes one vtility The first necessity is that it be near the members so that their vertue may digest it and turn it into bloud and that the members by it may be nourished when they have lost their naturall food that is for to say good bloud through restraint of material blood which restraint is caused through the stomack and liver through some cause accidentall The second necessity is that it mingle with the blood and make it apt to nourish the memhers of phlematick complexitous as the brain and such for that which must nou●●sh these members must be mingled with phlegm The vtility of phlegm is that it moysten the joynts and members that move much least they ware ●ry through the heat that cometh of their moving and rubbing Vnnatural phlegm may be divided first into the substance and to some thereof is Muscilaginosum and that is phlegm to ones seeming divers for in some part it is subtile thin and in some other gross and thick is called Muscilaginosum because it is like Muscilages drawn out of seede There is an other phlegm that appeareth equall in substance that is in subtility and grosseness● to one● deeming but for a truth it is divers in every place this is named raw phlegm and this increaseth in the stomack and entrailes And to avoid it out of the stomack Hypocrates biddeth us To cast twice a moneth and to avoid it out of the guts Nature hath ordained Choler to turn it from the chest of the Gal to the entrail Iejunium and so sorth to the lower guts to scowr away the phlegm from the brims of the entrails and cause it to descend down with the other dregs and filth Sometimes the flegm is increased in the vein●s specially of old folkes by diminishing of their digestion and there remaining is by little and little augmented and engrossed and hurteth nature which cannot by the veins thereto ordained avoid it out Yet it doth all that is possible to keep it from the hearts and other inward m●mbers and driveth it to the outward members and specially to the Legs for by the heavinesse thereof it draweth naturally to the lower parts of man And this is the cause why old folkes legs are sw●lne and that if one press downe his finger therein there tarryeth a hole specially towards night most in fat folks and such as were wont to be nourished with moist meat There is another spice of phlegm very subtile and watrish like vnto water and somewhat thick this phlegm is often mingled with their spittle that have ill digestion and of those that be great drinkers it removeth from the brain to the nose as it is wont in the beginning of the pose and when by decoction and boyling in a man it becommeth grosse it is turned into phlegm grosse white and musc●lage There is another phlegm grosse and white called Gipseum the subtile parts of this phlegme is dissolved through long

avi 2 can ca. de nuc musen●a it is hard of digestion and stirreth one to vomit and that is by reason that it is hot But the third Nut that is the nut of the cross-bow is death for the Crosse-bow killeth men Or else we may understand the nut Nethell which as Avicen sayth is venemous wherefore it sleyeth Adde potum piro nux est medicina veneno Fert pira nostra pirus sine vino sunt pira virus Sipira sunt virus sit maledict a pirus Si coquus antidotum pira sunt sed cruda venenim Cruda gravant stomachum relevant pira cocta gravatum Post pira da potum post pomum vade cacatum When we eat Pears boldly we may drink wine Nuts against poyson are a Medicine Pears eaten without wine are perilous Because raw pears are counted venemous Being boyl'd or bak't weak stomacks they do chear Because restoratives they then appeare By being raw the stomack they offend But comfort otherwise doth them attend Drink after Pears and after Apples use The course that nature no way can refuse In the first verse here the Author teacheth us to drink Wine after Pears for Pears as it hath been before sufficiently declared at length ingender ventosity and of their property they cause the chollick engender blood full of aquosity And therefore with them one should drink strong wine which consumeth those ventosities and a●uosities ingendred of Pears Secondly he saith that nuts are a remedy against venom as it hath been shewed at Alia nux c. Further in the second and third verse he sheweth that Pears that be eaten without Wine are denemous that is hurtfull to mans nature The cause is shewed in the first verse Yet for all that Peares be not venemous simply for if they were they would kill us and Pears so doing are accursed In the fourth verse be sheweth that raw Peares are venemous that is to say hurtful for they make the humors to boil and breed the chollick fleam and scab yet if they be sod they be medicinable in manner as is before said that is to say with wine and specially if they be eaten after other meat for they expulse the dregs In the fifth verse he saith that raw Pears grieve the Stomack for they hinder digestion and enflate but sod Pears relieve the Stomack that is grieved and dispose it naturally In the last verse are two things The first is after Pears we must drink for the cause before said The second is that after the eating of Apples we must go to siege for Avicen saith av 2 can ca. de po If sweet or sowr Apples find any grosse humors in the stomack they force them to descend from thence to the guts because Apples are much inflative and ingender ventosities which nature expelleth to the inferiour parts Cerasa si comedas tibi coufert grandia dona Expurgant stomachum nucleus lapidem tibi t●llit Et de carne sua sanguis critque bonus By eating Cheries great good doth arise To such as use them for the learned wise Say that they purge the stomack and beside The broken stones ond kernels have been tried To break the bladder stone breed wholesome bloud To fat and feed the body they be good Here the Author declareth three commodities that come by eating of Cherries The first is that Cherries purgeth the stomack Eating of cherries This some say is truth when that the stones he broken and eaten withall for these two together by their naturall property do secure and cleanse The second is that the kernell of the Cherry stone by self-vertue breaketh the stones in ones reins for bladder and if it be eaten dry or made in milk The third is that the substance or meat of Cherries engendreth very good bloud and it comforteth and fa●●eth the body And this is proved by experience for we sée that Sparrowes which are great eaters of Cheries in Chery-time their livers be far greater then in other seasons whereby it appeareth that Cherries increase and comfort the Liver Yet here is to bee noted that there bee two sorts of Cherries grosse and small And also of the grosser there are two sorts some are sweet and some sowre All dulce and small Cheries are vnwholsome for they be lightly corrupt and bréed vermine The grosse and sowr Cheries are called Cina and of these are two sorts Some be ruddy and soft of substance and such must bée eaten fresh and new gatherèd and at beginning of dinner their nature is to scowr the stomack and to provoke the appetite The other be black grosse and hard of substance and specially the sower And these should be eaten after dinner or supper The cause is for by their sowernes they close the month of the stomack whereby the better and speedier digestion followeth Infrigidant laxant multum prosuus tibi pruna Prunes cool and loose the body very kindly No way offensive but to health are friendly Here the Author reciteth two utilities that come by eating of Prunes First Prunes coole the body and therefore Portugals that dwell in a hot Country seeth Prunes alway with their meat Secondly Prunes make one to lask by reason of their humidity and clamminesse as Galen sayth This is truth if they be ripe Gal. 2 alimen For Prunes that be ripe be Stipticalli and nourish little as Avicen sayth And though Damask-Prunes have the foresaid vtility yet properly they be ascribed to Prunes of Armenia For Prunes of the Country of Armenia are better then any other And they unbind the womb more vehemently then any other Avi 2 can ca. de pru 〈◊〉 as Avicen sayth yet know that ripe Prunes are to be used and not vnripe The Prunes most wholesome for mans Nature be the long ones that have little substance about the stone small hard and in manner dry and the butter skin thin and they should not be sweet in taste but somewhat sowre and of this sort are Damask Prunes The best Prunes and these do refresh and cools the body as is said There be many other sorts of Prunes whose use is not accepted There be also Prunes called wild Prunes the which grow in the woods these be not laxatide of them water is distilled to bind the womb Prunes that be taken to make one lask must first be layd in cold water for then they cool and moyst more perfectly and by their slipperinesse they loose the choller that they come to and so the Stomack is better disposed to receive food And here is to be noted that moist Prunes and new are more alterative though they be of less nourishment and of more superfluity but dry Prunes comfort more and better nourish the body And as it is by Prunes so after the same manner it is vnderstood by Charries Yet notwithstanding the humidity of Cherries is subtile and not clammy whereby they nourist lesse then Prunes Persica cum musto vobis

make one lumpish and slow Therefore there is nothing maketh a man more ●ocund or merry and lesse heavy then to walke in a faire cleare ayre and to rise early The third thing is that we ought to e●chew in fected oyre that is where slaughter of people hath beene for commanly in these places whereas great slaughter of people hath beene and in places neare thereunto followeth great Pestilence for when we draw in the infected ●●yre it infecteth the spirits in our body The fourth thing is we should eschew Gunges Sinkes Gutters Channels stinking Ditches and all othe● particular places that are infected with Carrion and places where as dead carkasses or ●ead folkes bones are cast and placed where Hemp and Flax is watered For the ayre so infected doth insect the spirits of our body and specially hurteth the brain And therefore Avicen saith That so long as the Ayr is temperate and clear and no substance according to mans nature mingled therewith it causeth and conserveth a mans health But when it is changed it doth contrary to the operation thereof And for a more perfect Declaration of the foresaid things know that the Ayr in the Regiment of Health is necessary two wayes First for the refreshing of the heart Secondly for the abo●ding out of furnish superfluities that trouble the spirits and naturall heat For likewise as we see by exteriour things as the fire without fanning of the ayre is choaked and quenched so likewise we may imagine that the spirits and naturall heat in man had need to be nourished conserved and attempred The at temperance of the naturall heat is caused by drawing of the ayr and the purging thereof is caused by expulsing of the ayr The first is done by motion of the attraction and the second by motion of ex●ulsion Therefore if we draw in stin●king and unclean ayr it corrupteth in us the naturall heat and spirit Therefore the ayre should be faire and clear without vapours and mists it may not be troublous and cloudy nor mixed with ill vapours For such ayre troubleth the Humours and m●keth a man heavy and sad as is aforesaid The open ayre ought to be chosen and not between walls or houses and to speak truly the close ayre should be eschewed Yet neverthelesse in the time of pestilence when the ayre chanceth to be infected the close ayre is to be chosen I herefore at such seasons it is good for us to abide within our houses and to kee● our windowes fast shut least the putryfied ayr should enter in but otherwise the open ayr is best Further in the Regiment of health the ayr ought to be eschewed the which is mixed with vapours of Lakes and deepe Pits containing stinking Waters and also of certain Heaths as Coleworts Hemlocks and such like and of trees as Fig-trees and Waln●t trees Further that ayr is to be chosen wherein the wind bloweth from high or equall ground And also we ought to take good heed that the ayr exceed n●t in any of his first quallites that is to say in heat cold moyst●●re or drought which if it chance it must be tempered by craft as much as is possible These things Avicen teacheth Si tibi soritina noceat potatio vini Hora macutina rebibas e●●● medici●a If overmuch Wine hath thy brain offended Drink early the next morning and its mended This text teacheth one doctrine the which is this if a man be diseased by drinking of Wine over night let him on the morning afresh drink Wine again For either drinking of wine over night causeth drunkenness thirst in the morning or else inflamation of the body If it enflame the body then it is right vnwholesome again in the morning to drink Wine afresh for that were as one should lay fire to fire but if one happen to be drunk and therewith pe●●reak a little then it were wholesome for him to drink wine a fresh again in the morning For the drinking of wine then again doth lightly cause one to vomit whereby the stomack is cleansed and by reason of cleansing of the stomack the hurt of drunkenness and parbreaking goeth away lightly And therefore Hypocrates councelleth us to be drunk once a moneth that of the drunkenness come vomit which thing preserveth us from all diseases of long continuance If the drinking of VVine overnight doth hurt one by reason that he is not accustomed to drinke Wine then he may drinke VVine again in the morning to accustome him and so the drinking of VVine shall lesse hurt him For as Hypocrates saith Hip. 1. aph ex multo tempore c Of a customable thing commeth lesse grief But in case that thirstinesse in the morning doth follow on drinking of wine over night to drink water in the morning is best to cool his thirst And for as much as we have spoken of hurt that commeth by drinking of wine understand that he that hath a ●éeble brain of what condition soever it be avi 2. cap de regimine aquae vmi six inconveniences engen●ted of drunkennesse he ought to be well ware of drunkennesse For to be oft drunk as Avicen sayth is cause of six inconveniences Of which the first is is corruption of the Livers complerion for Wine excessively taken commeth to the Liver and resolveth the heat thereof whereby the Liver looseth his naturall generation of bloud and instead of bloud it engendreth watrishnesse and causeth the Dropsie or else it ●utte●● the Liver or the humors thereof whereby Lepry or madnesse is engendred The second thing is the corrupting or infecting of the braines complexion by reason that thick and continuall fumes of the wine do ascend up thereto the which dispo●e the bore brain to madnesse and ●renzy and the cold to the falling Evill forgetfulnesse and palsie The third thing is weaknesse of the sinewes as we set commonly that dayly drunkards the have palsie in their head and other members as well in youth as in age The fourth thing is Diseases of the Sinewes as the Crampe and Palsie For superfluous drinking of VVine oftentimes thineth to vinegar in the stomack which hurteth the Sinewes Also oftentimes for fault of digestion it turneth into undigested wa●●●shnesse which doth m●lli●e the Sinewes and oftentimes it induceth or draweth grosse humors to the sinewes whereby they be stretched out or drawn together The fift thing is the Pal●ey that the humidityes of the braine increased by Wine do ingender so that they stoppe wholly the wayes of the lively spirits which proceed from the braine to the other members The sixt thing is sudden death for while the drunkard s●orte●h or sleepeth his wind-pipes are closed or stopped either with the abundance of wine or humidities thereof engendred whereby he is so dainly strangled And although the immoderate drinking of Wine causeth the aforesaid inconveniences yet Wine moderately taken is wholesome divers wayes And Avicen rehearseth five benefits ensuing by ●●ine moderately drunke The first is Five

are the instruments of corporal operation are then right feeble sparkled and resolute by reason of the outward heat● the wh●ch doth vehemently draw them to the exterior parts and so causeth that much meat cannot as then well digest And here is to be noted that for as m●ce as the vehement resolution of humidities as well substantiall as nutrimentall of the body is great and therefore grosser more meat in Summer should be eaten if the digestive might digest it But because nature cannot-digest much at once we must then eat a little and often as Galen sayth In Summer we must eat many times and little because the body hath often need by reason of often dislolution And although little meate should be eaten in Summer yet one may drinke much by reason of the great resolution and drought of the body The reason that one ought to eat little meat in summer and because the naturall heat of the body exceedeth the moysture thereof and man is then more thirsty then at other times But yet then one ought to drink lesse wine specially if it be not pure because such wine doth soon inflame and causeth the naturall heat augmented by the ardent heat of Summer is burn And therefore he that will drink wine in Summer should mingle it well with water and forbear old and strong wine Thirdly ●e saith that in Autumn we ought to beware of fruits especially of the same Season as Grapes Peaches Figges and such like or at least to eat but little of them because such fruits to engender bloud that is apt to putrifie by reason of humors and boyling that they make in the body and specially it they be received into an vnclean stomack or corrupt body which for the most part chanceth in Autumn and so then ill and ●lthy Diseases are ingendred as the Pocks and other pestilent Diseases Know also that in Autumn hunger and thirst should be eschewed or to eat much meat at one meal as Rasis saith The wine also that is drunk in Harvest should be allayed with water that it may moyst the Body and cool the heat but unt so superflously allayed with water as it is in Summer nor to be drunk so superfluously For by reason that nature is then but féeble it is not able to weld and digest it and too much allaying with water destroyeth naturall heat and increaseth ventosities whereby the collick is ingendred Fourthly he saith that in Winter one may eat as much ●o he will that is to say more then in other seasons after the mind of Avicen And Galen sayth In Winter much meat leisurely should be eaten Gal in ca●aph quthus semel c. The reason is because the heat of our body in Winter is strongest both by reason it is congealed together and fortified by position of his contrary that is to say the coldnes of the ayre environing our bodyes about And this is verified in big bodyes and fleshy and not in bare and féeble for in such bodies coldnesse of winter being inclined doth not comfort them with heat but rather maketh them more féeble For in Winter as Hypocrates sayth Bellyes be hottest of nature and sleep most long Whereby it appeareth that the grosse nourishments and hardest of digestion are more wholesome in winter then in other seasons because the heat is stronger But the Wine that is drunke in Winter should be as red as a rose and not white and allayed with a little water Here is to be noted that although by the strength of heat and vertus of digestion in winter the gross and strong meats are most wholesome yet because the season is disposed to opilations and repleations by reason of much phlegme it were wholesome to use mean meats between heavy and light gross and subtile as kid veal mutton pikes perch and e●vesses And they that vse gross meats as beef pork ve●iso● goats-flesh and such like should eat but one meal a day or else to vse Meats larative as parsely cresses mustard and such like and to use great labour Salvia cum ratae faciunt tibi pocula tutae Adde rosa floram minuit potenter amorem If in your drink washt Sage is mixt with Rew It is most wholesome poyson to subdue Adde thereto Rose flowers if you feele the heat Of Venus to wax wanton o● grow great Here the author des●ibeth two remedies against ill drink The first is Sage-leaves Sage put into the drink hindereth be hurt of it and also it comforteth the sinewes and brain the which being comforted doth the better resist the ill s●mes that of the ill drink ascend thereunto The second R●medy is Rew whereof it the whole leaves be put into the drink the vertue of it over commeth the malice of the drink And how good and wholesome Rew is against poyson it hath been declared before at Allia nux ruta c. And this Text saith that to the two foresaid Hearbs we may put the Rose flower which ought especially to be understood of a Red-rose because the sweet smell and stipticalnesse thereof amendeth the malice of the drink Nuasea non poterit quemquam vex are marina Aurea cum vino mixtam si sumpserit illum Sea-water drunk with Wine doth well defend thee If on the Sea casting chance to offend thee Here the Author teacheth a remedy how they that are not accustomed to passe the Sea A remedy ●o● perbreaking on the sea may avoid perbreaking or casting He that will passe the Sea must a few dayes before he ●ake shipping mingle the Sea water with his wine This is a remedy for them that be rich but if it be a poor man then he must drink Sea-water only that he may the easier eschew casting The reason hereof is because the Sea-water is salt and so with his saltnesse and stipticity that followeth saltnesse it closeth the mouth of the stomack and thereby avoydeth casting And here is to be noted that as Avicen saith A Traveller on the Sea should not much go about to withstand or to forbear perbreaking or casting at the beginning but to vomit untill he think himself well purged because that it preserveth him from many Diseases And yet not onely preserveth but also healeth or alleviateth grievous and great Diseases as Lepry Dropsie Coldnesse and swelling in the stomack Thus Avicen saith But in case that the traveller on the Sea do coast so much that he thereby is right greatly feebled then he must refrain himselfe by eating of stipticall and sowre fruit as vntipe fruit Crabs sowre Pomgranates and such like wherewith the mouth of the stomack is comforted and the humors expelled down as also the stomack is therewith comforted and the humours flowing thereunto by taking of the water are driven away Or else we may take Mustard seed dryed by the fire and drinke it with Wine or Wormwood may be eaten and drunken or a toast wet in redolent Wine is good to eate And generally tart

To beware of lying upright For by lying upright the Rheumatick matter sloweth to the hinder parts of man where be no manifest issues whereby the matter may avoyd out Therefore it is to be feared least it flow to the sinews and cause the cramp or palsey And likewise he ought vtterly to forbear wine for wine is vaporous and in that it is very hot it dissolveth the matter and augmenteth the Rheum And likewise he must not stand in th● sun or by the fire for the sun and the fire loose the matter and augment the Rheum In the last two verses the Author putteth difference between these 3. names Catarrus Branchus and Corisa And the difference standeth in the matter flowing to one part or another of the body When the matter runneth to the brest-parts it is called Catarrus when it tunneth by the nose it is called Corisa when it runneth by the neck it is called Branchus But this word Rheum doth note and fig●ifie generally all manner of matter flowing from one member to another

But yet it chanceth that some lack those sour last Teeth which be behind them that we cal the Grinders and those have but xxviii Teeth Some lack four of the last teeth in child-hood only some other lack them till they be very old and some all their life Here is to be noted that after Avicen The two foremost teeth bee called Duales and two on either side of these twain bee called Quadrupli There bee two in the upper jawe and two in the nether all these teeth be ordained to cut and therefore some call them Cut●ers and specially the Dua●es Next vnto these Qua●ruples are two Teeth above and two beneath called Canini whose office is to break hard things After these be four other on either side called Grinders four above and four beneath After these same have a Tooth called Sensus on either
