two d●agmes of Opium on diagme and a halfe we●l beaten with one ounce of Sugar-candy The which with syrupe of Lic●ras must be made in a Masse and then diuided into Pils and swallow them They will serue for two or three times A drinke to ripen and ure the Cough Take of the syrupe of Enulacampana and Licoras of each two ounces of Hysop water a quarter of a pint Boyle these in a quart of Ale or Beere with some red sugar candy to a pint and drinke thereof two or three spoonefulls at a time lying on your backe and letting it distill downe your throate by little and little To preuent the Palsie Nothing is better then to eate some Diatrion P●perior or to swallow downe in the morning foure or fiue graines of pepper The Cure of the Winde in the Stomacke and the Collicke Commonly this Infirmity hapneth for want of stirring and exercise or by eating of Fish Fruite or the like windy food in greater aboundance then Nature is able to beare without Belching Rumbling or the like commotion in the Stomacke which sometimes descending lower downe into the Guts before the former meate bee fully digested begets more strength of winde so that betwixt the olde excrements and the new this grieuous payne called the Coll●cke is ingendred For the Cure whereof if the Wind proceedes from heate by drinking of Sacke or strong Liquor or in the Summer first let him abstayne from those causes and take a Glister made of Sugar Milke and some cooling Hearbes or of Broath where in Raisons Prunes or Currants haue beene sodden or where Diaprunis is dissolued with some Anniseeds And for a Topicke Medicine to fortifie and ease the place affected for the present let the Party apply a dryed Rose-cake somewhat warme and besprinkled with a few drops of Vinegar to the Belly The poorer sort may clap warme trenchers or napkins But if the Collicke be ingendred of the Colde as in Winter or by feeding on moyst and raw sustenance I wish the poore to content themselues with Garlicke boyled or raw And for the Richer sort I prescribe this singular Receit Take Venice Treacle or M●thridate with a few beaten Cloues dissolued and mulled in a cup of Wine Or in default thereof a spoonefull or two of Worme-wood Cinnamon or Anniseede Water or some liquour wherein Pepper hath beene soaked Diatrien P●perion also eaten is exceeding good fasting or at going to bed And for a locall Remedy let him put dryed Cammomill betwixt two linnen cloathes to the Belly Or for want thereof the Oy●e or Paracelsus his stipticke playster the place being first annoynted with that kind of Oyle or with that of Roses Against the euill disposition of the Body as the Dropsie the Greene-sicknesse and the like Take of Allom Brimstone and of the fi●ings of iron or steele of each a handful Inf●se them bruised in three quarts of white wine Vinegar three dayes and let the Party adde thereof a spoonefull at a time to euery draught of drinke Likewise a Posset made of Allome will correct this ill disposition of the Body R●medies for the straightnesse of the Breast and the rising of the Lights Some do highly commend Quicke Sulphur beaten to powder and well mixed with Sugar Caudy to be taken either alone or with Wine Others at the time of the fit do aduise to giue him Vinegar Scillitick with Ammoniacke dissolued Fracastorius extolies Lungwort eyther of the Oke or Iuniper li●ewise the smoake of Sandaraca o● O●piment in the manner as I haue shewed in my Booke of Directions for Health But in truth the Foxes Lights soaked for three dayes in Vinegar and afterwards dryed in an Ouen being taken to the quantity of a Nutmeg eyther alone or with some Liquor is the best Remedy aswell for this infirmity as for the Cough proceeding of the difficulty of breathing for it is knowne that of all Creatures the Foxe hath the longest breath and strongest Winde In default of the substance the common Receite called Looch de Pul●●one Vulpis is expedient Remedies for the Gout whether it proceed from Hot or Cold Causes First let him betake himselfe if he can to our Dyet Secondly let him beware of all strong Drinkes and Wine Thirdly let him purge himselfe with the Potion of Hermod●c●●l●s M●choacan c. which I haue before described against the Scuruy Or else let him vse Pillu●ae Cochiae which drawes awayes the causes from the Head And these Purgations hee shall vse once a moneth And if there bee cause let him bleede sometimes Fourthly let him exercise Fiftly let him annoynt for a locall Lenitiue the place affected with Oyle of Frogs or of Mirrh eyther alone or with a little Saffron and if the paine bee violen● with some Opium But indeede to mollifie and asswage the griefe for the richer sort I aduise them neuer to bee without this precious Cataplasme Take of dried Rose leaues one Ounce of Masticke halfe an Ounce of Saffron one dragme of Campher sixteene graines and of Barly meale two ounces Powre thereon as much white wine as wi●l make them boyle which must bee gently a●l by leasure and often stirred The tenth SECTION Remedies against the odious and vnhealthfull vice of Drunkenesse The Authors admonitory Conclusion to liue soberly and temperately FOr the shutting vp of these particular Cures I will insert this Corollary which I wish all them that haue a care of their healths daily to reuolue in their mindes being drawne out of Hippocrates his golden Aphorismes That whatsoeuer Nourishment enters into an impure Body will make it the more impure But there is one Sicknesse more which rightly may be stiled the Northerre Catholicke crept among vs within these forty yeares the sinne of Drunkennesse brought hither out of Germany and the Low-Countries which beares such sway that few merite the name of Gallants or sociable Creatures vn●esse they can Carouse more Cups then the large Body of a Camell is able to brooke without great alteration in Nature For the suppressing of this odious sicknesse we haue laudable Acts of Parliament but for want of due execution of the Lawes it increaseth to the great displeasure of Almighty God the scandall of our Religion and the grieuous disturbance of their Bodies which wee see drooping away daily before the date of life conditionaly granted vnto vs by our Creator What shall wee do in this desperate case Our Statutes faile to remedy this euill Our Preachers with their thundring Woes misse to reforme it The carefull Cure is neglected for most men now a dayes doe more intend their priuate ends then the publicke good Only this prouident Counse●l is left which I submit in most humble manner to the higher Powers that some more Additions bee enacted that in such places as lye remote from the meridian of the Fountayne of Iustice all blind Ale-houses bee suddainly put downe that none be Licensed except they were worth twenty pounds at the least in Goods able to keepe Bedding

Study and Contemp●ation doe mightily hinder Concoction they that are this way busied must eate and drinkelesse then those that be idle or doe trauailc abroad But now to finde out this Measure I confesse it a great difficulty by reason of the dinersities of mens Constitutions Yeares and Strength For that Measure which agreeth with an o'de man cannot square well with a young man nor that of the strong man with the weake The Chollericke must haue his proportion differing from the Flegmaticke These haue euery one a stomacke repugnant to one anothers nature How then shall wee compose an exact Measure to reconcile these repugnances Necessity requires vs to lookeafter this Soueraigne good for the health of the Body and Soule but Concupiscence and our longing wills can hardly consent to be limitted Yet notwithstanding naturall reason bids vs to proserue Nature although wee smart a little to enioy the more content Let vs then search out what proportion of meate and drink will serue a reasonable Creature the which the easier to find we must obserue these Rules First if one takes into his body ordinarily so much meate and drinke that after the meale he feeles himselfe more heauy sleepy and lesse capable to conceiue matters of Diuine knowledge Sermons or any kinde of Study then hee was before his meale let him rest assuredly that hee hath exceeded the Measure wee looke for For it is not fit to feede and please the vegetatiue and sensuall part so much that thereby the noblest part be offended which is the Animall and reasonable Faculty Wee must consider that out of the aboundance of meates which wee receiue into our Bodies there will arise Vapouis from the Stomacke vp to the Head which will darken the Vnderstanding and also store of Humours and Blood ingendred in the Liuer M●lt and Veines which will inflame vpwards and helpe with the former Vapours to ouercloud the cleare Rayes of Reason and Wisdome which they would neuer do if a man had not exceeded the lawfull measure O how much are they deceiued who feeling themselues feeble in the morning runne speedily to Breake-fast as though Nature languished for want of meate when as in very deede their weaknesse proceedes from the aboundance of Humours congested and gathered together which by their ouer-much moysture haue stuft the Musckles and the sinewes and stopt the passages of the spirits so that the Scuruy and other Diseases creepe in by reason of those Obstructions and Oppilations The like abuse some commit in their mornings draughts which indeede is the chiefe cause of the Dropsies Gouts Coughes and other moyst sicknesses Secondly a man must not suddainely thinke to meete with this Measure but by little and little by degrees hee must leaue of his former course of Dyet and all by leasure proceede by diminishing his wounted fare vntill hee arriues to that Quantity that after his meale hee feeles none of the aboue named impediments to grieue his Head or to hinder the Functions of his Minde Thirdly although a certayne set quantity cannot rightly be prescribed by reason of the different natures of meates and of the ages of men yet notwithstanding it is lately tryed by experience that for olde Persons or for such as approach neere vnto it or for some that feare some incurable sicknesse twelue thirteene or foureteene Ounces of meate will serue a man for a day accounting Bread Flesh Egges or any such solid meate and so many Ounces or somewhat more of drinke This measure I prescribe onely to aged persons the sickely to Clergy men to Iudges Schollers or to such as are wholly addicted to their Bookes to Maydes and such sedentary or idle people who vse not bodily exercise Loao●i ● Cornarie Father Lessius and many others by late experience found this quantity to be sufficient Fourthly as for the Quality of the meats there is no great heed to be taken so that they exceede not in the quantity if the meate distaste not the Appetite and that the due measure be obserued Among al the sorts of meates which we eate those are commended which are of least putrifaction For wee see that Fish and Flesh will taint sooner then Pulse or Corne. And therefore Rice Bread or such as are made of them will agree best with Nature for by experience it is sound that the chiefe cause of the small Pockes c. comes of the eating of flesh too soone They which haue practised this Dyet do highly commend Panades or Gruell which the Italians call Panat●llam or Pulticulam which is compounded of Bread and Water or Brewis or the like diuersified with Butter Oyle Egges Wine Currents Cynamon Sugar Hony Pepper Saffron Cinger c. because this kinde of meate is most easily to be concocted being ready to breed good blood and very like to the Chyle or that substantiall myce which the Stomacke workes out of the Conco●tion of our meate The fifth Rule for asmuch as all the difficulty for the obseruing of this measure proceedes of sensuall appetite and that this sensuall appetite springs of the apprehension of Imagination whereby varieties of meates are conceiued to bee very pleasing to the sences wee must doe our endeauour to correct this depraued Imagination For the correcting whereof two things among others are chiefly to bee regarded First that we with-draw our selues from the sight of such prouoaking and enticing dainties as we read Epaminonda that valiant Theban did who being inuited to a friends house and seeing the Table too fully replenished with delicacies departed suddainly away And afterwards beeing demaunded wherefore he went so rudely and hastily from thence answered because he thought his friend had prepared all that aboundant cheare as a Sacrifice for the Gods and not for necessary foode to mortall Men. Secondly when wee are forced for manners sake to stay and behold such vaine Varieties that wee imagine them not to be in very deede so delightfull faire and wholesome as in outward shew they seeme to be but that they are deceitfull baites to catch and e●snare his fantasie to feede on them for his destruction and that when they passe through the Body they are most loathsome Excrements leauing poysoned relickes behind them to be conuerted into hurtfull humours Euery thing when it is resolued into the first Principles and Elements will appeare in the true shape which is no other but Corruption And the more sweete it is when it so resolued it becomes the more sordide and st●nking as may be noted by Suckets and such sugred Condited ware whereas the Dung of Labourers is nothing so displeasing for that they feede on simple food which Nature best approoues To verifie this let vs enquire whose Dung is most stinking the Dogges or the De●●es This Dyet composed of Bread is pure simple not subiect to Corruption as other nourishments be And therefore I may well auerre that it resembles that choyse food of Manna which God bestowed on the Israelites in the Wildernesse the which as
