opinion_n do_v very_o much_o contribute_v to_o the_o great_a health_n of_o this_o people_n which_o oftentimes_o appear_v to_o the_o very_a last_o in_o their_o old_a age_n be_v tea_n who_o use_n be_v exceed_o common_a through_o all_o the_o east_n and_o begin_v to_o be_v know_v in_o some_o country_n of_o europe_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o hollander_n who_o bring_v it_o from_o china_n and_o sell_v it_o at_o paris_n for_o thirty_o frank_n the_o pound_n which_o they_o buy_v in_o this_o country_n for_o eight_o penny_n or_o ten_o penny_n and_o yet_o i_o perceive_v that_o it_o be_v common_o very_o old_a and_o naughty_a it_o be_v thus_o that_o the_o french_a and_o english_a suffer_v stranger_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o in_o the_o east-india_n trade_n whence_o they_o may_v draw_v all_o the_o best_a commodity_n of_o the_o world_n if_o they_o have_v but_o the_o courage_n to_o undertake_v it_o as_o well_o as_o their_o neighbour_n who_o have_v less_o mean_n to_o prosper_v therein_o then_o our_o own_o countryman_n ten_o be_v a_o leaf_n as_o big_a as_o that_o of_o our_o pomegranate_n tree_n it_o grow_v on_o little_a shrub_n very_o much_o resemble_v the_o myrtle_n tree_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v purchase_v in_o any_o country_n of_o the_o world_n but_o only_o in_o two_o province_n of_o china_n where_o it_o grow_v one_o whereof_o be_v call_v nanquin_n whence_o come_v the_o

cochinchina_n and_o several_a other_o kingdom_n where_o they_o so_o ordinary_o make_v use_n of_o tea_n that_o those_o who_o drink_v it_o but_o three_o time_n a_o day_n be_v the_o most_o moderate_a other_o take_v of_o it_o ten_o or_o twelve_o time_n a_o day_n or_o to_o say_v better_o every_o hour_n when_o this_o leaf_n be_v crop_v they_o dry_v it_o well_o in_o a_o oven_n than_o they_o put_v it_o

the_o hollander_n take_v great_a care_n of_o that_o they_o sell_v into_o france_n to_o know_v if_o the_o ten_o be_v good_a you_o must_v see_v that_o it_o be_v very_o green_a bitter_a and_o so_o dry_a as_o to_o be_v easy_o break_v with_o the_o finger_n if_o it_o be_v all_o thus_o it_o be_v good_a otherwise_o assure_v yourself_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a much_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o chineses_n when_o they_o make_v use_v of_o this_o tea_n be_v to_o boil_v some_o water_n in_o a_o little_a pot_n very_o clean_o when_o it_o boil_v well_o they_o take_v it_o from_o the_o fire_n and_o put_v therein_o so_o many_o leaf_n according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o water_n that_o be_v to_o say_v into_o a_o good_a large_a glass_n of_o water_n they_o put_v about_o a_o ounce_n of_o tea_n they_o cover_v the_o pot_n well_o and_o when_o the_o leaf_n sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o water_n then_o be_v the_o time_n to_o drink_v it_o for_o it_o be_v then_o that_o the_o tea_n communicate_v its_o virtue_n to_o the_o water_n give_v it_o a_o red_a dye_n they_o drink_v it_o as_o hot_a as_o they_o can_v for_o if_o it_o shall_v cool_v it_o will_v be_v good_a for_o nothing_o the_o same_o leaf_n which_o tarry_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o pot_n will_v serve_v a_o second_o or_o three_o time_n but_o then_o they_o boil_v it_o with_o the_o water_n the_o japeneses_n take_v it_o another_o way_n for_o they_o first_o beat_v the_o tea_n to_o powder_v than_o they_o put_v it_o into_o boil_a water_n and_o swallow_v it_o all_o together_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o way_n of_o take_v it_o be_v more_o wholesome_a than_o the_o former_a i_o have_v make_v use_n of_o and_o always_o find_v that_o way_n of_o the_o chineses_n to_o be_v exceed_o good_a both_o of_o they_o mingle_v a_o little_a sugar_n therewith_o to_o correct_v the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o tea_n which_o nevertheless_o methinks_v be_v not_o so_o very_o unpleasant_a there_o be_v three_o principal_a virtue_n in_o tea_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v to_o cure_v and_o to_o hinder_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o head_n for_o my_o part_n when_o i_o have_v the_o megrime_v in_o take_v of_o this_o tea_n i_o find_v myself_o so_o very_o much_o ease_v and_o comfort_v that_o it_o draw_v out_o all_o the_o pain_n of_o my_o head_n for_o the_o principal_a force_n of_o tea_n be_v to_o abate_v and_o expel_v those_o gross_a vapour_n which_o ascend_v from_o the_o stomach_n into_o the_o head_n do_v very_o much_o incommode_v we_o if_o you_o take_v it_o after_o supper_n it_o common_o hinder_v sleep_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o who_o by_o drink_v of_o tea_n sleep_v the_o better_a because_o allay_v none_o but_o the_o most_o foggy_a vapour_n it_o leave_v behind_o it_o those_o that_o do_v chief_o cause_v sleep_n for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v experiment_v it_o often_o enough_o when_o i_o have_v be_v compel_v to_o sit_v up_o all_o night_n about_o some_o extraordinary_a business_n i_o need_v to_o do_v no_o more_o but_o to_o take_v some_o of_o this_o tea_n when_o i_o perceive_v myself_o begin_v to_o sleep_v and_o i_o can_v easy_o watch_v all_o night_n without_o wink_v and_o the_o next_o morning_n i_o be_v as_o fresh_a as_o if_o i_o have_v sleep_v my_o ordinary_a time_n this_o i_o can_v do_v once_o a_o week_n without_o any_o trouble_n i_o try_v one_o time_n to_o continue_v wake_v six_o night_n together_o but_o the_o last_o night_n i_o find_v myself_o quite_o spend_v ten_o be_v not_o only_o good_a for_o the_o head_n but_o it_o have_v a_o marvellous_a force_n in_o ease_v the_o stomach_n and_o help_a digestion_n they_o drink_v it_o also_o ordinary_o after_o dinner_n after_o supper_n not_o at_o all_o especial_o those_o that_o will_v sleep_v the_o three_o thing_n for_o which_o tea_n be_v good_a be_v to_o purge_v the_o reins_o of_o the_o gout_n and_o gravel_n and_o it_o be_v perhaps_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o these_o disease_n be_v unknown_a in_o those_o country_n i_o have_v the_o more_o

be_v make_v of_o the_o decoction_n of_o a_o certain_a plant_n call_v by_o the_o chinese_n tea_n by_o the_o japanese_n tchia_n whereof_o i_o shall_v make_v no_o difficulty_n to_o communicate_v to_o posterity_n all_o the_o knowledge_n that_o have_v be_v impart_v to_o i_o by_o those_o who_o hold_v the_o sovereign_a authority_n in_o these_o country_n as_o therefore_o the_o abovesaid_a plant_n

to_o a_o black_a but_o those_o of_o japan_n be_v of_o a_o more_o pale_a and_o whitish_a green_a and_o of_o a_o more_o pleasant_a taste_n which_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o the_o tchia_n of_o

it_o be_v the_o common_a vogue_n and_o opinion_n of_o this_o country_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o sovereign_a than_o this_o plant_n as_o well_o for_o the_o prolong_n of_o our_o day_n even_o
