skab here none suffysyth of qualyte of metes as to the quantyte vnderstonde that thy mete ne thy drynke sholde be no more but as thi kyndely helthe myght ouercom it elles thy body shall waste and thi vertues wexe feble And for the quātyte of metes drynkes maye not certenly be shewed loke how thou felyst it hath don̄ the most good and suche quantyte vse Furdermore vnderstonde that no man sholde ete anone after his exercyse ne anon after he were bathed but fryste rest hym a while so that he hungre and thenne when he woll ete yf he be a ryche mā sette tofore hym many metes of whiche that one is better thā that other For a fycysion seyth it shall better saue hym better noryshe hym and skyll whi for mete that is taken wyth delyte the stomak hugely coueteth hastely kacheth lōg holdyth and we●defyeth and that mete that is beste defyed is moste noryshyng for mānys body Truly other mete that is not defyed is taken wyth fulsomnes and defyeth not well for whi yf a man desyre more moton then a capon the moton shall rather be eten and so of all other metes But there that is moche dystaūce in qualyte of metys we mowen not doo thus and also bewar that it be none erraūt appetyte a● in wymmen that ben wyth childe and though 〈◊〉 otherwhile be yet shall it not alwaye be denyed Furthermore as galyen sayeth that at one mele men sholden not ete dyuerse metes● therfore at morow ete but bred alone and at euyn fleshe alone for when two dyuerse mete ben take at one mele of hem comyn two euyles one in eyther by it sylfe a nother in hem 〈◊〉 the togyder in hemselfe for then one traueyleth to torne in to grete heuy humoures and that other into 〈◊〉 in hem 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 mete 〈◊〉 before it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 goyth fourth draweth wyth hym the 〈◊〉 mete vndefyed and yf the grete mete goo fyrste tofore then the subtyll mete ys not defyed and maye not for the grete goo forth and so it wexyth corupte And whiche of thise maners euer it be alwaye it is euyll but more euyll it is that the subtyll folowe the gret for the chaufyng chaūgyng into kynde of raunes maye be holpen but the chaūgyng into corupcyon neuer or selden and of wonder harde is holpen And therto accordeth Galyen a ficysion other olde doctours but 〈◊〉 perauenture a contraryous costume longe vsed may doo awaye the corrupc̄on Also wete well that vertue of defyynge is ofte brokyn when rawe mete is putte on halfe soden for the toon rawnes showueth out the other and so the half sodyn is corupte Moreouer that no man ete so moche that the stomak be heuyed therwyth ne that his appetyte cease But how that vsith grete exercyse to moche and selde and therwyth eteth vnruly conty●●eth it he shall dye by sodeyn deth or shall fele wycked likenes ye though his mete were ryghte goode for by cause his dygestyon is corrupte therfore kepe well thi stomak from to moche mete drynke And it so myshap any tyme anoon wyth water oyle or suche other spue it oute anon and then slepe and yf thou maye not slepe walk softely vp downe and xxiiij houres ete not after ne drynke not then ete a lytill wyth a draught of good clene wyne so the wyne be not to gret ne of hihe colour and on the thyrday haue some exercyse and be bathed then ete a lytyll after and after slepe thou maye then vse this electuare dyatryon as sayth a fycysion Two causes ben of sikenesses that is dyuerse metes long syttynge and moche etyng of dyuerse metes for of hem ben gendred dyuers humours some goode som euyll long sittyng for then the mete that is fyrste take is defyed er the last begynne to defye and so y t is defyed draweth wyth hym to the lyuer that is vndefyed and so thise two ben cause of grete sikenesses Also as old wyse men sayen man sholde neuer ete his fylle at one mele in takyng dyuerse metes for as a uycenne sayth no thynge is worse than to multyple metes and so to sytte long therat for thi he sayth that men in olde tyme werē satysfyed at morow wyth bred alone and at euyn wyth fleshe allone And therwyth they sayden resonably the more mete shold betowarde euyn but the costume were contrary for a eyrēne seyth that hoole men sholde better ete at ●yenste nyght then no morow for the kyndel● 〈◊〉 is closed wythin them and gadreth about the bowelles Netheles flewmatyk mē ete not to colde for they neden but lytill exercyse to meue her kindeli hete whiche mowe ete by the morowe ¶ But now the mooste vsage is herr ageyn and among many mē it is foūde more holsome to ete by daye then by nyght and perauenture that is skyll of costume And therfor thus sayth a wyseman short so●per light soper is selden greuous gret sopers noyē as leches techē we rede it ofte opēli also as a uycēne seyth bytwene two etynges 〈◊〉 houres to be is profytable and so ete thries ● two days as to daye twyes to morow but ones and so to contynue forth so that yf errour fall in twyes etyng and so agēyward for that one most be amended by that other sith it is harde to leue wythoute errour moreouer vnderstonde that men that haue goode vnderstondyng etyn for they wolde lyue but they that goon by fleshelynes wolden lyue for to ete and contrary to nature And wyte thou well that to a coleryk mānys stomak when y ● vertue is stronge and gret hete grete metes ben good as be off porke gret venyson̄ g●te bestly fyshes roughe and grete bred salte mete fleshe half sodyn grete myghty coloured wyne and yf the hete of the stomak be feble and if he haue but lityll

in gouernaūce of helthe fle all excessyuous metes and namely these but yf it be for a medycyne fle also all frutes and also herbes that ben not goode as thise namely cole wortes letuys for they makē malyncolyouse blood galyē sayth y t my fader euer forbad me y t I shold ete no new frutes grene yf I wolde be wythoute sekenes for he hym selfe did and was euer wythouten sikenesses and while he lyued

grete clerke sayth thus In is lēte longe vsag of stoppyng metes as fyshe pese potage therfor it is profytable first to ete porcey of peses for this is a water that wyse men hath cōmended and thus it is made doo pesyn in fayr water all nyghte in the same water boyle them on morow a goode while and thenne clense them and kepe the clensyng and whan mete tyme comyth doo therto a lityl wyne a lityll powder of spyknarde a lityll safron̄ clene smale white salte and than boyle it on a walme and so ete for it openeth clensith well the capytalle veynes of the lyuer the weyes ofte of the vryne and kepeth fro y ● stone grauelles namely yf the forsayd pes●n̄ be soden in the forsaid water wyth persily How a man sholde haue hym in his drynke THe lesse ye drynk at mete the better it is enre so it be mesurably taken for a man sholde not at mete drynke moche lest it make mete to swymme in his stomak forthy men shold drynk a lityll so that the mete be well medeled tempred togyder And then lete alōge while bytwene or thou drynke ayen and than drynke a grete draught at ones ne drynke not to moche aftyr the firste morsell in no maner of wyse but drynke ofte a lityll a lityll if smalle clene wyne best accordynge to helthe gouernynge of thy complexion and nature and for helthe of body is clene and smalle claret wyne not to new ne to myghty so it be well and proporcyonli tempred wyth the quantyte of clene water Moreouer no mā be so hardy to drynk fastyng cold water ne after that he hath accompanyed wyth a woman ne after gret trauayle ne after excersice tyll he haue fyrst rested hym ne by nyght namely yf he haue do gloue tofore for whi longe slepe fast skpyng is cure therto ¶ What shall be don̄ after mete AFter when thou hast ete thou sholdest stōde or walke a lityll softly vp down̄ tyl toy mete goo downe to the botom of thy stothak and then slepe a lityll yf thou be vsed therin both daye nyght namly slepe fyrst on thy syght side for that is kyndely for thy dygestiō rhall be

euer y e lesse shold thy slepe be For slepe is full helpy to olde mē for it maketh them moyst therfor sayth galyē when he was olde he ete letuses wyth spyses for he wolde slepe the better Morouer slepe is full helpy to the dygestyō of thi metes but not anone after that thou hast euen for thou myghtist be strangled ¶ Also wete thou that yf a man before auyntisshid of his body moche slepe then is not good for hym for it woll waste his moystnes and of one thing beware that to longe slepe or to shorte febleth a mānys body and breketh it And after thou hast eten take no letuaryes ne other hote thynges for they tournen thi mete to corrupcōn ne a none after thou hast ete rēne not ne ride not to fast for then euery stronge meuyng thyng turneth thi mete to corrupcyon and also the vertue

Morouer aueroys seyth ryght as colde water caste in apotte boylyng letteth the boyling for a tyme. so to drynke after mete namely sone letteth the dygestyon maketh it to cease for a tyme and therfore yt is not good after mete to drynk moche tyll y e mete be defyed but after mete to suffre thurst somwhat is good And yf thou wolt easely voyde thi stomak stonde aftur thi souper tylle thou be wery or
