Pepper grosse beaten, and eaten with meate, oughte to be with all fleumatycke persons familyar, also gynger is ryght conueni∣ent, but not to be so frequently vsed as pepper, for as moche as the nature of pepper is, that be∣ynge eaten, it passeth through the body, heatyng and comfortynge the stomake, not entrynge into the vaynes, or anoyeng the lyuer, whiche vertue is not in gynger. Gynger condite, the whiche we do call grene gynger, specyallye candyd with su∣gar, yf it may be gotten, and also Mirabolanes, called kebuli condyte in India, be most excellent remedies agaynst fleume, also the herbes which are remembred afore in the table of digestyues of fleume, and the rootes of persely, fenel, yreos, Elycampane, and carettes be very commenda∣ble. Exercyse twyse in a day, the stomacke beyng almoste empty, so that sweate begyn to appere, is very expedient, clensynge of the body from all fylthynes, with rubbynge and wypynge, often∣tymes with washynge, specyally the heed and partis there about moderate sweatynge in hote bathes or stufes be to this complexion necessarie specially whan they haue eaten and drunken ex∣cessyuely. The heed and fete to be kepte frome colde and to dwell hygh and farre from mores and marshes, is a rule ryghte necessary, also to abstayne from eatynge herbes and rootes not boyled, and generally from all meates, whiche wyll not be easyly dygested.
