Chap. 11. Of Kiddes fleash.

*AGaine, in the place of Rhasis by mée erewhile alleaged, it is writen of Kiddes fleash, that it is temperate, hauinge no éeuel quality mixt with it, which albeit it ingender temperat blood: yet is it not conuenient for labourers. As for sutch as take no great paine, but liue a gentlemans lyfe: they cannot chuse a better kinde of meate then this. For it is not altoge∣ther so easie of concoction that it destroieth the disgestion, nei∣ther yet yéeldeth it so grosse or sutch plenty of nutriment that the body be therby filled with replection, and corrupte bloud ingendred. But the bloud that is made thereof, is betwéene both, as neither thick nor thin: hot nor colde. In the same place also Isaac saieth, that the sucking Kiddes are the best, of al other most excellent both for tast, nourishment, and disges∣tion, ingendring good bloud, for the milke which they suck of their Dāmes giueth vnto them naturall moisture.
