IN Sadness the Heat and Spirits retire and by their sudden surrounding and possession of the Heart all at once do many times cause suffocation They being likewise by uniting encreased do violently consume the moisture of the Body and so beget drowth and leanness Hence saith Solomon A joyful heart causeth good Health but a sorrowful mind drieth the Bones like the moth in a Garment or a worm in the Tree so is sadness to the Heart It likewise takes away Appetite over-heats the Heart and Lungs decays the complexion unfits us for our Business and employments and shortens our daies The Remedies are diverse as the cause is only in general consider that what is without thy power to help ought not to afflict thee for 't is utterly vain if it be within thy power then greive not but help thy self Thou art likewise to fortifie thy self against all accidents before they come by frequent reading and rightly understanding the Scriptures and other Religious and * Moral Writings that are full fraught with good Instructions to arm thy mind against the day of need that so when affliction comes thou mayest be provided for it for our Sadness is generally falsly grounded upon mistake and mis-apprehension wch may by this means be prevented Without this Help thou shalt be hardly able in the day of thy streight to take good advice though it given thee In the Scriptures and other good Books thou shalt find sound advice that will enable thee to bear the Ingratitude of a Friend the loss of nearest Friends of goods or office a Repulse in thy desire of preferment and all other casual accidents with which the World is replete and which do frequently befall us Another Remedy there is and that is to give our Sadness vent for so it spends it self and the sooner forsakes us whereas cooped up and stifled it takes deeper hold upon us For that purpose discover the causes and take the advice of a Bosome Friend restrain not thy tears but give them way and it will ease thee If Pain begets thy grief take thy Liberty to Cry and Roar neither should thy Freinds restrain thee for that if it do not totally remedy yet will it revell and somewhat divert thy pain But lastly If Distemper of Body be the cause of thy Sadness and thy very Temperature dispose thee thereunto Then avoid all things that be noyous in sight smelling hearing and embrace all things that are Honest and Delectable Fly Darkness much Watching and business of mind over much Venery the use of things in excess Hot and Dry often or violent Purgations immoderate Exercise Thirst and Abstinence dry Winds and very Cold Meats of Hard Digestion such as are very Dry and Salt that are Old Tough or Clammy Cheese Hares flesh Venison Salt-Fish Wine and Spice except very seldom and in small quantities Prepare now and then when Sadness most oppresses thee one of these following drinks which upon long experience I have found very recreative and quickning the Spirits Rec.

the expence how sad is their Condition when the Means and Store-house thereof is by any casuality wasted to an infinite Number whereof God hath subjected us How much better is it to copy the Picture of a Vertuous Woman wch Solomon in his last Chapter hath so lively delineated and for every good Woman to endeavor the being like Her In whom the heart of Her Husband may Trust and by whose Industry he shall have no need of Spoile But I digress too far and happily may incur a censure for my boldness in this point However with the Vertuous I hope to find excuse since my fault if it be any hath proceeded only from my Love and fair Respects to that Sex Be pleased that I may add some few Arguments to press the Necessity of Labor and Exercise I have urged before how much the want thereof enclines you to diseases and puts you to a continuall need of Physick that it decays your Colours and Complexions that particularly it disposes you to Obstructions of the Liver Spleen Womb and Breast One more and that a grievous Inconvenience it produces viz. Long Travel difficulty and danger in Childing The Hebrew-Women saies the Egyptian Midwives are lively and are delivered ere the Midwife comes to them The Irish Women because of their stirring and active Lives are Streight Tall full grown quick in Delivery The German-Women are also observed to be such here in England also the poor and laboring Women in City and Country are very quick at their Labors and allow themselves hardly a Weeks Retirement So that in this particular also which is of no small concernment the active and stirring Life is of greatest advantage 2. They that Lead Sedentary Lives usually bear Weak and Sickly Children and so beget themselves much sorrow double care and charge in their Education besides the Injury they thereby do the Common-wealth 3. The mind for want of convenient business to employ it becomes either dulled and unacquainted with humane accidents and so not fitted and prepared to bear them or otherwise misguided and depraved 4. It is necessary that Parents and they that have the Charge in Education timely take care in this particular for that their Children being at first bred up restively acquire a habit thereby and cannot afterwards when they or their Parents see the inconveniences thereof change their course their Joynts and Limbs are so stiff and unweildly and their obstructions so great Insomuch that by endeavouring an alteration they incur many times grevious diseases So that Parents ought to lay this particular very much to heart in time and to order the Education of their Children accordingly for which they will afterwards be more beholding to them then for their Portions as of more reall benefit and behoof unto them For what is Wealth without Health yea how much better is a mean fortune with a Sound and Healthful Constitution then Large possessions when the Body is Crazy and unapt to enjoy them But if through neglect or inanimadvertency this at first be over-slipt the old Custom must not all at once be left nor the Body suddenly be innur'd to Labor but by degrees using at the same time convenient Helps such drinks as do powerfully clear obstructions and remove shortness and difficulty of Breathing And so I have done with that Particular I shall add one or two Considerations more concerning Motion and Rest and so Leave it When the Body is very foul replete with ill humors exercise must be forborn till it be conveniently cleansed for that otherwise it will work disperse them into the Habit of the Body it Self and occasion thereby some long and hardly curable Disease In this case 't is best to avoid fool-hardiness venienti occurrere Morbo remember that to prevent is far easier then to Cure They that are Lean should exercise only ad Ruborem till the Body and Spirits are gently heated for that will help to satten them They that are fat may Exercise ad Sudorem till they Sweat that will extenuate them Exercise is best before Meals for it clears the Stomack and prepares the Appetite but a little time must be allowed again to settle the body before we eat Too soon after meals 't is very bad for it subverts the Stomack and forces the Victuals thence raw and indigested and so disperses it into the Veins and Habit of the Body whereby putrid Feavours Head-aches Weakness of the Eyes and a general Cacochymy or depraved Constitution is engendred Avoid exercising in damp and noysom places for that the Lungs being opened and Respiration encreased much aire is drawn in and the brain thereby filled and the Lungs corrupted This Caution is to be observed by all but especially by those that are Pthisical and Rheumatick Lastly too Violent Exercise is very bad for it too much dries the Body it engenders the Stone Gout especially towards old age when it is discontinued Let not therefore Pleasure and a too earnest Intention at our sports make us so much our own Enemies as to convert that which ought to be used only to refresh the Mind to Strengthen and keep healthfull the Body into the means of its Infirmity Sickness and decay especially knowing that exercise is then only pleasant when the Body is fresh Vigorous and very well able and without toil and pain to undergo the same Besides that too constant a use and intention upon Sports corrupts the Mind and distracts it in the midst of all affairs and business and begets a Dotage thereupon wherein there is not true Pleasure and contentment but a w●arish and impotent giving up of the Spirits and Faculties thereunto a convenient mixture of Labor and Excercise is best so as that the first do far exceed the last and that the last be indeed but as a Refreshment and quickning of the Spirit and Body for the better and more Pleasant undergoing of the first Lastly If it be too much or too violent it is no friend to Prolongation of Life for it over-heats the Spirits and renders them easily evaporable 2. It consumes too much the Moisture of the Body 3. It wasts the inward Parts which delight most in and are conserved best by Rest We see by this the inconveniences of Excess and Defect Via Media via Tuta the middle way is best and wholsomest A usual error is the drinking cold beere after Violent Exercise and in our Sweat to which Heat and Thirst intises us but the effects are 1. Damping and almost exstinguishing the small remainder of heat that is left in the inward parts 2. Surfetting the Body by Mixing cold Drink with the fat which is at that time melted and floating in the Body Let that inconvenient custom be therefore carefully left Another is to Drink Sack or strong-Strong-Water when we have spent and wearied our selves with hard Labor or Exercise which is done as for avoiding
