What is the cause that those who saile upon the sea, are more sicke in the stomacke, than they that saile upon rivers, yea, though 〈◊〉〈◊〉 weather be faire and the water calme?

IS it for that of all the senses, smelling, and of all passions, feare, causeth men most to be sto∣macke sicke? for so soone as the apprehension of any perrill seiseth upon a man, he trembleth and quaketh for feare, his haire stareth and standeth upright, yea and his belly groweth to be loose. Wheras there is none of all this that troubleth those who saile or row upon the river: for why, the smell is aquainted with all fresh and potable water, neither is the sailing so perillous: whereas upon the sea men are offended with strange and unusuall smelles, yea, and be est∣soones affraid, how faire soever the season be, not trusting upon that which they see present, but [ 20] misdoubting that which may fall out. And therefore little or nothing serveth the calme without, when the minde within is tossed, troubled, and vexed, partly with feare, and in part with distrust, drawing the body into the fellowship of like passions and perturbations.
