THere bee that make it their glory to feed high, and fare deliciously every day, and to maintaine their bo∣dies elementary, search the elements, the earth, sea, and aire, to main∣taine the fire of their appetites. They that thus make their bellies their Gods doe make their glory their shame. I di∣staste a sordid diet as un∣wholsome, I care not to taste and feed on va∣riety of delicates as un∣healthfull.
Nature con∣tented with a few things is cloyed, and quelled with over many: and digestion her cooke im∣ployed in the concocti∣on of so much variety at once, leaves the sto∣macke too fowle a kitchin for health to a∣bide in. Since then so to feed may the soo∣ner end my life, and the end of my life is not so to feed, I will bee taught by Grace not to live to eat, but eat to live; and maintaine health by a competent diet, not surfet with excesse.
