Approoved medicines and cordiall receiptes with the natures, qualities, and operations of sundry samples. Very commodious and expedient for all that are studious of such knowledge.

Uinum, Wyne.

WYne is hoate in the seconde de∣gree * 1.1 Howbeit, if is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 very 〈◊〉〈◊〉, it is hoate in the thirde degree: But must or newe wine is hoate i•• the first: they bee like in drieth, as they * 1.2 be in heate. Of all Wynes Red and grosse wyne is most meetest and conu••ment to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 crease and eagender bloude. Next to that * 1.3 is wyne that is blacke in colour, sweete, & grosse. Thirdly redde or blacke wyne with grassinesse of substan••r & ta〈…〉〈…〉es in taste, * 1.4 Wy•••• wyne & grosse substāce w^t tartnes in taste are re••••rued in the 4. place. Whyt•• wyne and thynne in Substance nourisheth leaste of all. Sweete wyne is better concot▪ ted in the Stom••cke than y^e tarte or greene wyne, and better di〈…〉〈…〉ed into the body, and also is more soluble. Although gros〈…〉〈…〉 * 1.5 wynes be meetest for the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of bloud, yet it is to be noted that 〈…〉〈…〉y grosse wine is ••ardly concorted and altered in the Sto∣macke, and slowly distributed, vnlesse th•• Stomacke be good and st••onge, the gross〈…〉〈…〉 wynes also be not commended for making▪ and prouoking of bryne: and besydes that

some of them doe stop the Lyuer, the splen, * 1.6 and kyd〈…〉〈…〉s, so that by the vse of thē, ••o••e men fal into Drop••es, some into the stone: and specially olde men. The most 〈◊〉〈◊〉 somest wyne for them that bee in recouery from sicknesse (so that they haue no Feuer) is wyne redde in colour, thynne in substance, and somewhat tarte in taste. Wyne among all other thinges doth moyst, and soonest en∣crease naturall heate: and therefore wyne that is hoate of nature, and subtill in sub∣staunte, yellowe in co••••er, olde in age, of good odoure, and smelling is most speciall to reuiue and restore such persons as fal in∣to * 1.7 soundinges or sayntings, for it is soonest distributed into all partes of the body, not with standing such yellowe & strong wines doe oftentymes trouble the head. Waterish and thyn Wyne doth little or nothing nou∣rishe, but doth onely prouoke the bryne. Wyne is meete for the colde natures of complexions: wyne condite with honny is * 1.8 good for those that feare the stone vniuer∣sally. As Wyne is good for olde men, so it is euill for chi••oren: sweete wynes ••e good for them that neede to be restored, so they be subiect to no 〈…〉〈…〉becillity or weakenes of the

Lyuer, ••pleue, or Rydnies. To them that haue grosse humours in their Uaynes sub∣t••••l wynes are meete and good: to them that * 1.9 haue colde humours in their vaynes hoate wynes and olde ve meete: but to them that bee not of this condition or state, Wynes that be pleasaunte and well smellinge bee m••eter, so that they doe not trouble and vn〈…〉〈…〉 quiet the head Flee frō grosse & euil smel∣ling * 1.10 wines, & such as be of great tartenesse▪ & or vnpleasaunt taste. Also absteyne from wyne that is to olde, or to newe, speciall from all wynes till they be fyned. Wyne in the vtter partes of the body bee good 〈◊〉〈◊〉 washe and mūdify v••cers or saares Wine also be confected with diuerse substaunces as wyth Honny, ••ater, U••••eger, Tym•• * 1.11 Squ••••t••s, Roses, Wormewoode, Raison•• and many other thinges, whych Wynes confected and made, are to be esteemed a〈…〉〈…〉 tet the nature of such substaunces when with they vee confected. Wyne thyone su••stance. & yellow•• in colo••••, heateth 〈◊〉〈◊〉 partes of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 body, prouoketh vryne, & po〈…〉〈…〉¦geth ••he bloud. Wyne doth rype & matu•• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈…〉〈…〉rs so ••uch as any thing els•• prouo••eth 〈◊〉〈◊〉 e••tes, a•••• ••ryne, & ••isp••••

to quietnesse and sleepe. As wine is thought to vee vnmeete for children, so it is partely for younge men which are hoate and drye, & yet being in their grouth. For such natures it shall dispose to I••e and volupeuousnes of body, & hastynes: and also shall trouble, and vnquiet the mynde and reason, if it be not taken moderately.
