A sharp stomack makes short devotion.

Hungry dogs will eat dur∣ty puddings.

Hard fare makes hungry stomacks.

Page 113

The belly hath no eares.

Hunger maketh hard bones sweet beanes.

There's never enough where nought leaves.

Well guess'd Kath. here's neither to lack nor to leave.

Hunger is the best sauce.

An egge and to bed.

Better fill the belly than the eye.

Hunger will make a man leap at a crust.

Better have meat than fine clothes.

The belly is not fed with faire words.

Where coyn is not common, commons must be scant.

Children & chickens must ever be eating.

Hunger breaks stone walls.

As the sow fills the draugh sowers.

Burrough men merry, more bread than drink.

They that have no other meat, bread and butter are glad to eate.

Two hungry meals make the third a glutton.

Heele make a shift for his victualls.

Page 114

Had I fish, is good without mustard.

He eates up both dish and meat.

The belly thinks the throat cut.

I never fared worse than when I wish'd for my supper.

Evening orts are good morning fodder.

A bit it'h morning's better than nought all day.
