What is the nature of the spring time?

THe Spring time beginneth, when the sunne entreth into the signe of Aries, which is the tenth daie of March. At this time the daies and nights are of e∣quall length, the cold weather is diminished, the pores of the earth (being closed and con∣gealed with cold) are opened, the fields waxe greene, hearbes and flowers doe bud, beastes rut, the birds chirp, and to be briefe, all liuing creatures doe recouer their former vigour in the beginning of the spring. Now a man must eate lesse, and drink somewhat the more. The best meats to be eatē are veale, kid, yong mutton, chickens, drie fowle, potched egges, figges, raisins, and other sweet meates: and because the spring is a temperate season, it requires temperature in all things. Vse com∣petent phlebotomie, purgation, or such like. Venerie will doe no great harme.
