The feete.

Being well boyled and tender, in a hole stomacke di∣gesteth well and maketh good iuyce and passeth forth ea∣sily. Galen commendeth the féete of swine, but I haue proued, that the féete of a yong bullocke tenderly sodden and laid in sowse two dayes or thrée, and eaten cold in the euening, haue brought a cholericke stomacke into a good digestion and sléepe: and therewith hath also expulsed salt fleume and choler: and this haue I found in my selfe by often experience, alway foreséene that it may be eaten before anie other meate without drinking immediatelie after it.
