Peaches are cold and moist, and are easi∣ly corrupted, and afford little nourishment, and therefore are to be eaten sparinly, and warily, and not without danger to cold Stomachs, and they are to be eaten before meals not after other meats, neither is wa∣ter or any cold drink to be drank after them but generous Wine, being dryed they are less hurtful, but best boyled in Wine, whereby their pravity is taken away and become not dangerous.
