BEe carefull to frame all your outward Actions, (whether they be necessary; as feeding, sleeping, speaking, gesture, &c. or not necessary, although conuenient, as ga∣ming, and all sort of lawfull recreation,)x that they may serue, for the aduancement
of your inward Vertues, disposition and health of your body; and as they that should eate some Dish deli∣ciously sweete, temper it with tarte sawce (lest they bee cloyed,) and those that receiue bitter Pills, rowle them in Sugar (that they may not bee annoyed with the vnpleasant taste:) so, ra∣ther season all your exte∣rior Actions with Mediocri∣tie, then with Delight or Excesse.
But because all these sorts of outward Actions haue beene so fully intreated of by many, and are (I doe hope) knowne to all (that I come to an end) I will only adde a short aduice, for rea∣ding of Bookes, for Appa∣rell and Trauell, being three
of the former indifferent Actions, whereof you may make much profitable vse.
