Q. What is Hunger?

A. It is an appetite or desire of that which is hot and moist.

The humidity required in thirst, is more thinne, and lesse earthy, then that which is required in Hunger.

If moisture be increased ouer-much, so that heat de∣creaseth and consequently the appetite to meat decay∣eth, it must be restored by Phisicke: All nourishment is Phisicke, but this is the difference: Food repaireth the whole body, whereas Phisicke repaireth onely the instruments of the body.
