Chap. 17. Of the partes of Beastes.
* 1.1THe Head, saith Rhasis, of euery thing is of grosse substance, nourishing much, & heateth, & ought not to be eaten but at cold seasons: For thereby many times is the Collick ingen∣dred, it much comforteth bloud, & increaseth the séede of Man.
The Braine being colde, ouerturneth the stomack, and hur∣teth it, and therfore whoso eateth Braines: let him eate thē before al other meate. Moreouer it is good for hot Complexi∣ons, and éeuell for sutch as are troubled with colde diseases.
Marrow cummeth very nigh vnto temperature, but it is sumwhat of the hottest, it increaseth naturall séede, and mol∣lifieth
the stomack. The Vdder of a beast is cold & grosse, and although it nourish mutch yet is it hard of digestion, and is good for them that haue a hot stomack, and Liuer. The Liuer is hot and moist, heauie, and hard of digestion. Isaac saith that it ingendreth good blood, but specially of young beastes that suck. But the Liuer of a Hen or Capon is better then of sucklinges. The Hart, as hée saith, is of an hard substance, and is slowly digested, but being well digested: it nourisheth mutch. The lights also, saith hée, is easely concocted, and soone departeth foorth of the stomack, by ••eason of the lightnes, and rarenes of the substance therof. The Kidneis are naughty in two resp••••tes, the one is for the hardnes, & grossenes of their substance: the other is, for that they be nourished by the fat∣tines of the vrine, wherby they ingender grosse and very ée∣uell blood. Rhasis in the place aboue cited saith,* 1.2 that read fleash without fat, ingendreth dry blood, making but small excre∣mentes, and nourisheth more then fat: Fat ingendreth very moiste blood, causeth mutch superfluity, and nourisheth but litle. Fleash interlarded béetwéene fat and leane, ingendreth temperate blood. The féete augment slimie iuce. The fore∣most part of the rumpe is lighter and hotter, and the hinder-most heauier and colder.
