What kinde of exercise is good?
Walking, if it be not too slow, is a com∣mendable exercise, and may be vsed in hot monethes, specially of cholerick persons. To hang by the handes on any thing aboue your reach, so that your feet touch not the ground, is good. To climbe vp against a steepe hill, till you pant and fetch your breath often with great difficultie, is a fit exercise to be frequen∣ted in cold seasons. Old men must content themselues with softer exercises, least that the small heat, which they haue, should be spent. They must onely euery morning haue theyr members gently rubd with a linnen cloth.

To be briefe, they must be combd, and cheri∣shed vp with fine delights.
