And beware of to moche lare and bledynge / & eschewe cō∣pany of women / for it wyll feble thy stomake / and ba¦ches be good. And for the grete colde the natural hea¦te entreth in to the body / and therfore the dygestiō is better in wynter thā in somer.

And therfore the stomake hath but lytel heate / wherby the dygestyon is febled / and the humours assemble there.
