MVst, called in Latine Mustum, that is to say, the liquor newly issuing out of the grapes when [ M] they be trodden or pressed, doth fill the stomacke and intrals with winde; it is hardly dige∣sted; it is of a thicke iuyce, and if it do not speedily passe through the body it becommeth more
hurtfull. It hath onely this one good thing in it (as Galen saith) that it maketh the body soluble.
That which is sweetest and pressed out of ripe Grapes doth soonest passe through; but that [ A] which is made of soure and austere grapes is worst of all: it is more windy, it is hardly concocted, it ingendreth raw humors; and although it doth descend with a loosenesse of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, notwith∣standing it oftentimes withall bringeth the collicke and paines of the stone: but if the belly be not mooued all things are the worse, and more troublesome; and it oftentimes brings an extreame laske, and the bloudy flix.
That first part of the wine that commeth forth of it selfe before the Grapes be hard pressed, is [ B] answerable to the Grape it selfe, and doth quickly descend; but that which issues forth afterward, hauing some part of the nature of the stones, stalks, and skins, is much worse.
