is alloweable, provided that (for the most
part) it be such, as is of a thinn, and
opening qualitye. for thick wines, as Galen
reports (in his booke, de alimentorum
facultatibus the 3d.) as they nourish more
then others, soe above all others doe they
cause obstructions, filling the veines with
thick blood. drink is in this disease soe
necessary, and behoofefull, as Galen is of
opinion. 1 de locis affect: cap: 6. that the
sick is not to suffer thirst, but to drink
largely. by reason that moysture is necessary
for the assistance of the expectoration, or
bringing vpp of the humor, which is by dyett
and phisick made apt to be avoided. But
this freedome is not generall, for at meales
drinking is not to be permitted in full measure
or great draughtes, [bein] by reason that the
belly being thus as it were doubly filled,
is subiect to swell and puff vpp, and soe
oppress the meanes of breathing; for indeed
when the food receaved into the body is
made [to] liquid with much drink. it is
subiect to be [to swell] stirred, and passed
to and fro, to the great disturbance of
concoction.

hereby then it appeares that thirst is in some
measure is rather tollerable at meales, then
satiety or fullness of drinking to be permitted,
and this indeed may the better be observed,
forasmuch as recompence may be made, with
a more plentifull allowance, after the concoction
of the meat. Sleep should in this case be
vsed, only in the night: butt If through
custome and weakness it cannot be refrayned
in the day, yet should it be short, and
performed with the head, and brest a litle
elavated, or raysed vpp, and If possible to be
avoided to soone, or suddenly after dinner, or
supper. As for excercise, there can none
of any violent sort be ordayned, least thereby
the humors be to much stirred, and vrged vnto
the further oppression of the parts affected.
walking, or some gentle motions before meales
are very good and laudable; butt all troubles
or anxiousness of mind through business, or
thoughtfullness, and anger, grief, and such
like are to be avoided.
