☞ Of Custome. Cap. 3.
CVstome in feedynge is not to be contem∣ned, or lyttell regarded: for those meates, to the whiche a ma••••e hath ben of longe tyme accustomed, though they be not of substāce commendable, yet do they somtyme lasse harme * 1.1 than better metes, whervnto a man is not vsed. Also the meates and drynkes, whiche do moche del••te hym that eateth, or to be preferred before that, whiche is better, but more vnsauery. But if the custome be soo perniciouse, that it nedes * 1.2 must be lefte, than wolde it be withdrawen by lyttell and lyttell in tyme of helthe, and not of lyckenesse. For yf it shoulde be withdrawen in tyme of syckenesse, Nature shulde susteyne tre∣ble de••runent, fyrst by the grefe induced by syck∣nesse, seconde by receyuynge of medicines, third∣ly by forbearyng the thyng, wherin she delyteth.
