In Ianuary.

IN this Moneth, mans inward parts, become replenished with more heate, then at any o∣ther time. The reason is, because our bodies being in health, receiue into them more a∣boundance of food, whereby they are streng∣thened and comforted in their constitutions and principall powers. So that wee may ad∣uenture to eate grosser meats as baked Veni∣son of barren Does, gelt Buckes, gelt Goats, Brawne, Beefe, and such like, in this moneth then in any other Moneth, for that our natu∣rall heare in warmer weather is dispersed, and so digestion hindered: now fasting is very hurtfull. But spiced drinkes and wines are highly commended. Beware of Physicke, and chiefly of bloudletting.
