M. ¶Of somer and what it is.

SOmer begynneth whā the sonne entreth y^• fyrst poynt of the creuyce / & lasteth .xcii. days / & an houre & a half That is to wyte fro y^• .x. day of Iune to y^e .x. day of septēber In this seasō y^• days belōge & y^• nyghtes short. And ī al regyōs ēcreaseth & abateth theyr heate & y^• see is calme / & y^• ayre meke & fayre. The f••ours wy¦ther & serpētes encrease & shed theyr venym / & sprede theyr strēgth. The myghtes of mānes body be forty∣fyed. And all y^e world is ful of welth / as y^• fayre bryde y^• is goodly stature & in {per}fyte aege. The seasō of somer hote & drye / & thā coler is moeued. And ī this seas•• is good to beware of all thȳges y^• be hote & drye of cōple xyō. And take hede of to moche eatyng or drynkynge for therby is y^• kyndly heate quenched. In this seasō eate meates of colde & moyst cōplexyō / as veale / myl¦kew vyneygre / & potages made w^t barly meale. Ea∣te fruyt of eygre sauour / as pōmegarnets / & drynke small wynes / & vse not the cōpany of womē. In this season lete the not blode / but yf grete nede cōpell the. Use lytell trauayle / & seldome bathynge.
