Moderate fasting, as, to omit a dinner or a supper once a weeke, is wonderfull commo∣dious for them, that are not cholerick or me∣lancholick, but full of raw humours. This An∣tonie the Emperour knew very well, when he accustomed to drink naught saue one cup full of wine with a little pepper, after he had sur∣feted.
Of the commodities of fasting, I haue written more largely, in my second booke of the Gol∣den Groue.
Take licoras or Tobacco now & then, chew it, & you shall satisfie both thirst and hunger. Or else, mixe some suet with one pound of violets, and you shall preserue your life there∣by, ten dayes. Or to conclude, take a peece of allome, and rowle it in your mouth, when you waxe hungrie: By this meanes vou may liue (as some write) a whole fortnight without sustenaunce.
