nor unto wearineſs. But in Exerciſe and Frication there is the ſame reaſon and caution,
that the body may not perſpire or exhale too much: Therefore Exerciſe is better in
the open air than in the houſe, and better in Winter than in Summer; and again, εxer-

That Exerciſe may reſolve either the ſpirits or the juices as little as may be, it is
116. neceſſary that it be uſed when the ſtomach is not altogether empty: and therefore that
it may not be uſed upon a full ſtomach, (which doth much concern health) nor yet
upon an empty ſtomach, (which doth no leſs concern long life) it is beſt to take a
breakfaſt in the morning, not of any Phyſical Drugs, or of any Liquors or of Raiſins,
or of Figs, or the like; but of plain Meat and Drink, yet that very light, and in moderate
quantity.

THe vulgar reproof touching many Diſhes doth rather become a ſevere Re-
551. former than a Phyſician; or howſoever it may be good for perſervation of
health, yet is is hurtful to length of life, by reaſon that a various mixture of
Aliments, and ſomewhat heterogeneous, finds a paſſage into the veins and juices of the
body more lively and chearfully than a ſimple and homogeneous diet doth: beſides, it
is more forcible to ſtir up Appetite, which is the ſpur of Digeſtion. Therefore we
allow both a full Table, and a continual changing of Diſhes, according to the Seaſons of
the year, or upon other occaſions.
