wine_n be_v dry_v clear_a abstersive_a &_o so_o do_v consume_v and_o extenuate_v gross_a and_o thick_a humour_n so_o it_o be_v moderate_o take_v in_o this_o place_n i_o do_v great_o commend_v their_o

to_o allay_v the_o same_o with_o fennel_n water_n and_o to_o that_o intention_n you_o may_v also_o add_v sugar_n in_o country_n which_o for_o their_o common_a drink_n do_v use_v wine_n and_o water_n they_o always_o do_v mingle_v thing_n for_o the_o sight_n in_o wine_n and_o not_o in_o water_n for_o wine_n in_o truth_n be_v a_o fit_a liquor_n to_o receive_v the_o quality_n and_o to_o carry_v the_o same_o to_o the_o eye_n than_o water_n which_o thing_n they_o do_v put_v in_o the_o must_v and_o so_o let_v it_o stand_v until_o the_o wine_n be_v ripe_a and_o ready_a mead_n to_o be_v drunken_a and_o so_o do_v use_v it_o notwithstanding_o in_o other_o country_n which_o have_v other_o usual_a drink_n the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v put_v in_o their_o common_a drink_n so_o some_o have_v put_v they_o in_o ale_n some_o in_o beer_n and_o some_o in_o mead_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o all_o these_o mean_n be_v very_o good_a according_a to_o the_o usage_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o party_n so_o even_o in_o this_o our_o country_n they_o which_o either_o by_o use_n or_o by_o constitution_n of_o body_n may_v well_o bear_v the_o drink_n of_o wine_n may_v well_o compound_v the_o same_o with_o thing_n good_a for_o the_o sight_n other_o of_o hot_a complexion_n and_o dry_a not_o great_o accustom_v to_o wine_n may_v of_o ale_n beer_n and_o mead_n make_v such_o drink_v because_o in_o the_o north_n country_n ale_n and_o beer_n be_v the_o usual_a and_o common_a drink_n and_o in_o some_o place_n mead_n also_o be_v much_o use_v therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v convenient_a for_o most_o man_n to_o make_v these_o drink_v with_o ale_n beer_n and_o mead_n rather_o than_o with_o wine_n and_o mead_n assure_o be_v a_o very_a convenient_a thing_n for_o they_o which_o can_v well_o away_o with_o honey_n touch_v the_o direction_n of_o those_o which_o use_v have_v be_v accustom_v to_o drink_v wine_n i_o do_v nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o they_o may_v without_o offence_n bear_v such_o drink_n for_o the_o sight_n compound_v with_o wine_n to_o take_v a_o draught_n in_o the_o morning_n especial_o if_o they_o allay_v the_o same_o with_o the_o distil_a water_n of_o fennel_n according_a to_o arnoldus_fw-la counsel_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n choice_n may_v be_v make_v of_o very_o good_a white_a wine_n and_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v mingle_v in_o the_o country_n where_o the_o wine_n do_v grow_v notwithstanding_o in_o that_o our_o beer_n most_o use_v drink_v with_o meat_n be_v ale_n or_o beer_n these_o be_v very_o convenient_a to_o receive_v these_o thing_n for_o the_o sight_n and_o absolute_o better_a than_o wine_n if_o you_o like_v to_o drink_v the_o same_o with_o meat_n as_o our_o author_n do_v counsel_n which_o ale_n i_o think_v better_a to_o be_v make_v with_o grout_n grout_n according_a to_o the_o old_a order_n of_o brew_v and_o so_o the_o thing_n for_o the_o sight_n may_v be_v sodden_a in_o the_o grout_n or_o other_o way_n put_v beer_n in_o the_o drink_n when_o it_o be_v new_o cleanse_v &_o put_v into_o the_o vessel_n in_o which_o sit_v be_v tun_v to_o be_v keep_v that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o drink_n in_o the_o vessel_n the_o virtue_n and_o quality_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v draw_v and_o receive_v into_o the_o same_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v mead_n compound_v in_o mead_n than_o the_o same_o be_v sod_v with_o the_o honey_n in_o such_o order_n as_o other_o herb_n be_v sodden_a when_o they_o make_v methegline_v i_o think_v it_o best_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o simple_a order_n to_o compound_v ale_n or_o beer_n to_o each_o man_n best_a like_v with_o eiebright_a only_a take_v to_o every_o gallon_n of_o the_o drink_n a_o great_a handful_n of_o the_o herb_n and_o bind_v it_o together_o drink_n or_o put_v it_o in_o raw_a and_o thin_a tinsel_n of_o silk_n and_o so_o tie_v the_o same_o by_o a_o string_n to_o the_o tap_n of_o the_o vessel_n that_o the_o herb_n may_v hang_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o drink_n not_o too_o low_a in_o the_o ground_n neither_o to_o high_a in_o the_o barm_n be_v put_v into_o the_o drink_n when_o it_o be_v new_o cleanse_v let_v all_o work_n together_o until_o the_o drink_n be_v clear_a and_o ripe_a to_o be_v drunken_a according_a to_o the_o common_a use_n and_o then_o you_o may_v drink_v of_o it_o at_o pleasure_n in_o the_o morning_n fast_v and_o at_o meat_n also_o if_o you_o will_v and_o can_v well_o like_v thereof_o and_o most_o man_n may_v like_v to_o drink_v it_o because_o this_o herb_n do_v yield_v no_o ungrateful_a taste_n but_o rather_o with_o a_o pleasant_a sapour_fw-la do_v commend_v the_o drink_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o to_o avoid_v windine_n to_o every_o handful_n of_o the_o herb_n to_o add_v two_o dam_n of_o fennel_n seed_n well_o seed_v du_v and_o a_o little_a bruise_v as_o i_o do_v put_v this_o for_o more_o proportion_n to_o begin_v withal_a that_o the_o stomach_n be_v not_o at_o the_o first_o offend_v with_o the_o strangeness_n so_o after_o a_o time_n you_o may_v increase_v the_o quantity_n and_o put_v to_o every_o gallon_n of_o the_o drink_n two_o handful_n of_o the_o herb_n wherein_o you_o may_v best_o be_v direct_v by_o the_o taste_n that_o the_o herb_n shall_v yield_v into_o the_o drink_n in_o the_o winter_n season_n add_v you_o may_v also_o add_v some_o spice_n as_o ginger_n whole_a mace_n a_o few_o clove_n nutmeg_n cinnamon_n and_o make_v as_o it_o be_v bragget_n ale_n which_o drink_v beside_o that_o it_o do_v preserve_v and_o clear_v the_o sight_n will_v also_o help_v digestion_n cleanse_v and_o cut_v phlegm_n and_o break_v wind_n i_o can_v witness_v that_o many_o by_o this_o simple_a example_n composition_n of_o eiebright_a and_o fennel_n seed_n have_v find_v great_a good_a for_o their_o sight_n not_o only_o to_o continue_v in_o good_a estate_n but_o also_o that_o some_o have_v find_v remedy_n against_o the_o dimness_n &_o other_o impediment_n grow_v in_o their_o sight_n in_o truth_n once_o i_o meet_v a_o old_a man_n in_o shropshire_n call_v m._n hoorde_n above_o the_o age_n of_o 84._o year_n who_o have_v at_o that_o time_n perfect_a sight_n and_o do_v read_v small_a letter_n very_o well_o
