Lambs Flesh.
Galen, Halyabbas, and Isaac, condemn Lambs flesh for an over phlegmatick and moist meat: breeding ill nourishment, and through excessive watrishness slipping out of the stomach before it be half concocted, in cold stomacks it turns all to slime, in a hot stomack it corrupts into choler, in aged persons, it turns to froth and flegm, in a young person and temperate, it turns to no whole∣some nourishment; because it is of so flashy and moist a nature: all which I will confess to be true in sucking Lambs who the nearer they are killed to their birth day the worse they are: but when they are once weaned, and have fed half a year upon short and tender grass, I think that of all other flesh it is simply the best, as I will prove by divine and humane reason. For as in the new Testament, the Lords Supper materially consisteth of two such things, as there cannot be any drink or meat de∣vised
