domesticall birdes as Capons Hennes and houshold Doues are nothing vnmeete but greatly alowable and together with these the Fesaunt Partriche Quailes and such like are much agreeing The meate of foure footed beastes whiche is alloweable to Ulcered bodies are these and suche like viz. Yong Conies yonge Hares which with their moiste nourishement doe cherishe susteine the naturall heate encreasing also the strengthe of the whole bodie which is a trewe meane to restore the healthe of the body wherefore by this it followeth coÌ„sequently that all waterfoules by their moist temperature and hardnes of digestion are to bodies thus affected moste hurtful vnprofitable viz. Gese Ducks c. Neither is it doubtfull to any man that the fleshe of Lambes is hurtfull to those and that because they engender a substaunce to moiste for so wee be taught by Galene Let them also which be affected beware of to muche pouldred meate for Galene saith that salt is noisome especially to Ulcers in the head ¶ Of Fishe BEcause Fysshe of theyr owne propre nature exceadeth in aboundaunce of moisture which saith Galene is rebellious to Ulcers they are to be eschewed both because they augmeÌ„t the cause of the Ulcer and also for that they bee harde of digestion moste chiefly saith the same authour those which are full of excrements of the whiche sort are the fishe of Lakes Marrishes Muddie pooles and stinking Pondes for their meate is so excremeÌ„tal and so slimy that thereby filling all the pores of the bodie empaireth the streÌ„gth of the members and greueth or depriueth their functions whereupon payne lothesomenes rottennes and corruption of humors are engendred But those fishes whiche are engendred in Lande floodes and are nouryshed in harde stonie and grauellie waters especially in quicke streames are lesse hurtful the meat therfore of those fishes whiche swimme in the pure and cleane sea is very litle hurtfull to them chiefly being taken when the sea is at a full water and tossed with a quicke wynde as manifestly it is to be founde in Galene For by so muche the fishe is the worse by howe muche it is lesse exercised tossed and troubled Let them also beware of pouldred fishes as I saide euen nowe of pouldred fleshe And we prohibite generally al kind of fish by what meanes soeuer they be taken or kept for by their slimines they corrupt the humors being very harde in passing and difficult in digestion and the more slimie the worse Of Egges GAlene sayeth that the Egges of creatures doe engendre good and perfecte bloud as the Egges of Hennes c. For by the reason of the equalitie of their teÌ„perature they are iudged conuenient and agreable to all bodies as well diseased as sounde for they doe not onely engender good humors and commeÌ„dable iuyce but also are of light digestion easie passage greeuing very litle the naturall strength as is euideÌ„t in Galene But let the egges be newe layde or els they be rebellious to the nature of man and be euill to digeste engendring sundrie accidentes and euill dispositions Let their Egges also be boiled in water for the rosted are harder of nourishement c Furthermore it shal be best only to eate the yolke of the Egge because the white is of colde and moiste temperature Let the Egges also boyled be rere for they be of swift transiture engeÌ„dring the best iuyce and streÌ„gthening the faculties of the bodie But as Galene saith the Egges whiche are fried of all other are moste pernitious and harde of digestion wherfore all meates fried with Egges are vtterly to be eschewed of bodies affected with Ulcers Of Milke BOth Milke and what meate soeuer is compounded or made of Milke are very rebellious to Ulcered bodies for the â—uming to the head whereby grosse humors are engeÌ„dred For Hypocrates saith that Milke to those affected with paine causeth ache in the head and is euill both to feuers and paine in the bellie Also Galene sayth that Milke well boyled doth nourishe well and engeÌ„dre good humors â—â—t in affected persones doth touche the head it is dauÌ„gerous enducing the dropsey in Ulcered bodies therefore all forces of meates made with Milke must bee of suche persones eschewed Of Cheese TO al that be affected with Ulcers we forbydde the eating of Cheese bothe for the aboundant slimines which is therby engendred in humors as also for that it maketh them slowly to digest Galene being witnes whereby saith he the members by the passage of those slimie humors are altered and maketh ofte solution of continuitie causing paine in suche persones and that so muche the more by howe muche the chese is more salte and older for therby it is tarter and therfore harder to digest and maketh worse nourishment And note that although Chese be of a diminishing facultie of grosse humors yet is it vnprofitable for by y naugh tines of the iuyce boyling heate it bringeth more inconuenience then the attenuation of grosse humors can profite Since therfore there is a common faulte to all kindes of Cheese let persones thus affected ab staine from it Of Fruites OF Fruites saith Galene which men doe eate whiche the auncient writers call Horarios for because they spring in the hower of the yeare whiche hower of the yeare Galene calleth that time in the middest whereof the starre whereof the Caniculer dayes bee named appeareth Of the whiche some are called fruites of the earth of whiche sorte are Gourdes Pompions Citrons Mellons Coucumersâ— c. Whiche because they are of a moist nature and endewed with large humiditie they doe not onely engender a moiste nourishement but a slender humiditie and that whiche is easely purged foorth of the bodie Galene saith also that that fruite both coÌ„taine a naughtie iuyce encreasing the disease and weakening the members almost depriuing their functions wherefore to be taken as an vsuall seruice in Ulcered bodies we must flatlye deme And those fruites whiche Galene calleth arboreous are those growing vppon trees viz. Figges Peares Apples Peaches Mulberies together with the fruite whiche the Italians call Armelini being a fruite accompted amoÌ„g the Peaches and Cheries Plummes c. Whose substaunce is soft and moist not onely engendring the like nourishment but also by their wyndines doe attribute no small hurte and paine to the affected bodies and therfore are altogether to be forbidden But if the bodie affected do feruently desier and earnestly as it were long after fruite then may we permitte him to eate Figges that be well ripened as thinges lesse hurtfull lesse engendring euill humors theÌ„ the Autumne fruites although they be not altogether voyde of faulte for so they be not saieth Galene Notwithstanding as is aforesaid they be lesse hurtfull then al the rest yet nowe and then an Apple rosteâ— vnder embres may bee pardoned for the fier diminisheth the moiste iuyce thereof and abateth the wyndines Whereby otherwyse it commeth
therefore all those that be infected with Ulcers to flee from vnmoderate filling of their bodies according to the causes rehearsed for that thereby all paynes anguishe and perturbations with euill disposition accompaning the Ulcers may be incited Let the patientes therefore vse a slender kinde of diet and yet not an vnmoderate kinde and excessiue fourme spare feeding sithens suche may easely engēder the falling sicknes whiche when the stomack shal be inordinatly emptied hath rediest accesse for so saith Galene But a thinne diet by moderate vse obserued resisteth the same Galene therfore hath this sentence a meane moderate diet vsually kept doth safely cure yong folkes of the falling sicknes newely begon doth metely assiste them though they be olde and the disease inueterated De Coitu FOr as muche as generally all Ulcers doe proceede of intemperature with colde and weakenes of natural heate and that nothing more augmenteth the mallice of suche affectes nor encreaseth their continuaunce then exercises decaying naturall heate thuse of thinges that weaken coole and drie the bodie And againe since nature in such parties is sufficiently busied in strengtheninge and sending due nourishement to the affected partes it must needs bee great damage to the patient and hinderaunce of the curation to vse Coiture which as Galene affirmeth doth make the body more weake slacke cold and drie whiche sure is needeles in Ulcered bodies who are commōly giuen to be of that intemperature And Paulus Aegineta saith that Coiture hurteth bodies sound that be of colde and drie complexion Wherefore to affected bodies which haue nothing in them naturall that may be wanted we ought without pardō to prohibite the vse of venerie A Table of Simples AND since I haue so narrowely touched the
