watery_a and_o viscuous_a fruit_n for_o they_o be_v full_a of_o vapour_n ii_o that_o all_o fresh_a and_o moist_a fruit_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o dry_a iii_o that_o the_o
weak_a stomach_n shall_v omit_v this_o ii_o that_o you_o never_o drink_v wine_n after_o dinner_n or_o supper_n until_o the_o concoction_n of_o the_o food_n be_v end_v for_o than_o it_o help_v nourishment_n penetrate_v more_o easy_o the_o body_n whereas_o at_o first_o it_o will_v hinder_v digestion_n iii_o you_o must_v have_v a_o care_n that_o you_o do_v not_o drink_v wine_n cool_v with_o snow_n or_o icy_a water_n for_o it_o be_v very_o pernicious_a to_o the_o brain_n sinew_n breast_n lung_n stomach_n to_o the_o entrail_n the_o milt_z liver_n kidney_n bladder_n and_o cause_n wind_v whence_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o such_o as_o use_v wine_n in_o snow_n or_o ice_n be_v trouble_v with_o colic_n pain_n infirmity_n of_o the_o stomach_n stoppage_n of_o urine_n and_o other_o pernicious_a evil_n whereas_o the_o ancient_a greeks_n be_v wont_a to_o drink_v it_o hot_a with_o good_a success_n iv_o you_o must_v avoid_v drink_v wine_n fast_v because_o it_o trouble_v the_o

youth_n therefore_o when_o you_o find_v that_o the_o wine_n have_v offend_v your_o head_n and_o cause_n pain_n therein_o immediate_o provoke_v vomit_v v._o that_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a after_o fresh_a and_o moist_a fruit_n to_o drink_v a_o thin_a wine_n for_o the_o wine_n be_v a_o good_a penetrator_n do_v present_o induce_v and_o lay_v open_a a_o passage_n to_o the_o member_n for_o the_o malignity_n of_o this_o fruit_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v if_o you_o drink_v a_o superfluous_a quantity_n thereof_o but_o if_o you_o drink_v it_o moderate_o it_o correct_v the_o hurt_n of_o all_o such_o food_n vi_o if_o at_o the_o same_o table_n both_o small_a and_o strong_a wine_n be_v use_v begin_v with_o the_o small_a reserve_v the_o strong_a for_o the_o last_o which_o comfort_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o help_v digestion_n vii_o that_o by_o how_o much_o the_o food_n be_v more_o cold_a and_o gross_a so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n be_v there_o of_o strong_a wine_n but_o when_o the_o food_n be_v more_o subtle_a hot_a and_o digestible_a let_v the_o wine_n be_v weak_a and_o therefore_o such_o as_o feed_v on_o beef_n and_o fish_n be_v to_o drink_v strong_a wine_n than_o such_o as_o feed_v on_o pullet_n etc._n etc._n viii_o that_o such_o as_o use_v much_o wine_n ought_v not_o to_o eat_v much_o for_o wine_n serve_v instead_o of_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o therefore_o nature_n can_v easy_o digest_v they_o both_o ix_o wine_n that_o be_v weaken_v with_o water_n be_v more_o wholesome_a and_o commendable_a than_o that_o which_o be_v natural_o weak_a for_o the_o latter_a more_o easy_o putrify_v x._o that_o such_o as_o have_v a_o weak_a brain_n a_o hot_a liver_n and_o stomach_n and_o dwell_v in_o sultry_a country_n aught_o to_o drink_v a_o little_a wine_n mix_v water_n therewith_o but_o if_o cold_a the_o more_o wine_n and_o less_o water_n will_v not_o be_v amiss_o xi_o you_o must_v also_o observe_v the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n for_o in_o winter_n drink_v very_o spare_o but_o strong_a wine_n in_o summer_n more_o large_o but_o small_a and_o mix_v with_o water_n xii_o you_o must_v moreover_o consider_v the_o age_n for_o as_o wine_n be_v very_o bad_a for_o child_n so_o it_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o old_a man_n see_v that_o it_o qualify_v and_o allay_v their_o cold_a complexion_n and_o therefore_o plato_n deny_v wine_n to_o child_n give_v young_a man_n leave_v to_o drink_v it_o moderate_o and_o allow_v old_a man_n a_o more_o plentiful_a use_n thereof_o say_v that_o child_n before_o they_o be_v twenty_o two_o year_n old_a ought_v not_o to_o drink_v any_o wine_n because_o that_o will_v add_v fire_n to_o their_o fire_n and_o young_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o drink_v it_o strong_a but_o well_o temper_v the_o qualification_n of_o
