have be find not a few long  liver and those of the more eminent sort Franciscus Donatus duke Thomas  contarenus procurator of saint mark Franciscus Molinus procurator also of  saint mark other but most memorable be that of cornarus the Venetian who be in  his youth of a sickly body begin first to eat and drink by measure to a  certain weight thereby to recover his health this cure turn by use into a diet  that diet to a extraordinary long life Even of a hundred year and better  without any decay in his sense and with a constant enjoy of his health in our  age William Postell a Frenchman live to a hundred and well nigh twenty year  the top of his beard on the upper lip be black and not grey at all a man craze  in his brain and of a fancy not altogether sound a great traveller  mathematician and somewhat stain with heresy I suppose there be scarce a  village with we in England if it be any whit populous but it afford some man  or woman of fourscore year of age nay a few year since there be in the county  of Hereford a maygame or morris dance consist of eight man who age compute  together make up eight hundred year in so much that what some of they want of  a hundred other exceed as much in the hospital of Bethlehem corrupt call  bedlam in the suburb of London there be find from time to time many mad person  that live to a great age the age of nymph fawn and satire who they make to be  indeed mortal but yet exceed long live a thing which ancient superstition and  the late credulity of some have admit we account but for fable and dream  especial be that which have neither consent with philosophy nor with divinity  and as touch the history of long life in man by individual or next unto  individual thus much now we will pass on to observation by certain head the  run on of age and Succession of generation to have no whit abate from the  length of life for we see that from the time of Moses unto these our day the  term of man life have stand about fourscore year of age neither have it  decline as a man will have think by little and little no doubt there be time  in every country wherein man be long or short live long for the most part when  the time be barbarous and man fare less delicious and be more give to bodily  exercise short when the time be more civil and man abandon themselves to  luxury and ease but these thing pass on by their turn the Succession of  generation alter it not the same no doubt be in other live creature for  neither ox nor horse nor sheep nor any the like be abridge of their wont age  at this day and therefore the great abridger of age be the flood and perhaps  some such notable accident as particular inundation long drought earth quake  or the like may do the same again and the like reason be in the dimension and  stature of body for neither be they lessen by succession of generation  howsoever Virgil follow the vulgar opinion divine that after age will bring  forth lesser body than the then present whereupon speak of blow up the  emathian and Emonensian field he say Grandia{que to dig v. a. to wonder ofsa  grave that after shall admire the great bone dig up in ancient sepulchre for  whereas it be manifest that there be heretofore man of gigantine stature such  as for certain have be find in Sicily and elsewhere in ancient sepulchre cave  yet within these three thousand year a time whereof we have sure memory those  very place produce none such although this thing also have turn and change the  Civillizing of a no less than the former and this be the rather to be because  man be carry away with a that there be a decay by succession of age as well in  the term of man life as in the stature and strength of his body and that all  thing decline and change to the worse in cold and Northern man live long than  in hot which must needs be in respect the skin be more compact close and the  Juyees of the body less dissipable and the spirit themselves less eage to  consume and in better position to repair and the air as be little by the  sunbeam predatory and yet under the equinox line the sun pass to and and cause  a double summer and double winter and where the day and night be more equal  other thing be concur they live also very long pern and Taprobane islander be  for the part long live than that dwell in continent theylive not so long in  Russia as in the islands near Scotland nor so long in Africa though under the  same parallel as in the and tercera and the be long live the chinese though  chinese be mad upon long life and this thing be marvel see the air the sea do  heat and in cool region and in hot high situation do rather long liver than  low especial if they be not top of mountain but ground as to their situation  such as be in grease and that part of Aetolia where we they to have live so  now there will be the same reason for themselves because of the pureness and  clearness of the air but that they be corrupt by accident namely by the vapour  thither out of the valley and rest there and therefore in snowy mountain there  not find any notable long life not in the Alps not the pyrenean mountain in  the Apennine yet in the top of the mountain run along towards and the  abyssines where by reason of the sand beneath little or no vapour rise to the  mountain they live long even at this very day attain many time to a hundred  and fifty year Marshes and fen be propitious to the native malignant to  stranger touch the lengthen and shorten of their life and that which may seem  more marvellous salt Marshes where the sea ebb and flow less wholesome than of  fresh water the country which have be observe to produce long liver be these  Aetolia India on this side Brasil Taprobane Ireland with the island of the  islands near Scotland and Hebrides as for Ethiopia which by one of the ancient  be to bring forth long it be but a toy it be a secret the of air especial in  perfection be better find by experiment than by or conjecture you may make a  trial by a lock of wool expose for a few day in the open air if the weight be  not much increase another by a piece flesh expose likewise corrupt not over  soon other by a Wether glass the water interchange sudden of these and like  inquire further not only the goodness pureness of the air but the equality of  the air material to long life mixture of hill and dale pleasant to the fight  but expect for long life plain moderate dry yet not over barren or nor  altogether without and shade be very for length of life inequality of air as  even now say in the of our dwell be but change of air by travel after one be  use unto good and therefore great traveller have be long live also those that  have perpetual in a little Cortage in the same place be long liver for air  accustom consume be but air change and repair more as the continuation and  number of succession which we say before make nothing to the length or  shortness of life so the immediate condition of the parent as well the father  as the mother without doubt avail much for some be beget of old man some of  young man some of man of middle age again some be beget of father healthful  and well dispose other of disease and languish again some of father immediate  after repletion when they be drink other after sleep or in the morning again  some after a long intermission of other upon the Act again some in the of the  father love as it be common in other after the cool of it as in long marry  couple the same thing may be consider on the part of the mother unto which  must be add the condition of the mother while she be with child touch her  health as thou ching her diet the time her bear in the womb to the ten month  or early to reduce these thing to a rule how far they may concern long life  hard and so much the hard for that those thing which a man will conceive to be  the best will fall out to the contrary for that alacrity in the generation  which beget lusty and lively child will be less profitable to long life  because of the acrimony and inflame of the spirit we say before that to  partake more of the mother blood conduce to long life also we suppose all  thing in moderation to be best rather conjugal love than meretricious the hour  for generation to be the morning a state of body not too lusty or full and  such like it ought also to be well observe that a strong constitution in the  parent be rather good for they than for the child especial in the mother and  therefore Plato think ignorant enough the virtue of generation halt because  the woman use not the same exercise both of mind be body with the man the  contrary be rather true for the difference of betwixt the male and the male be  most profitable for the child and the woman yield more to ward the nourishment  the child which also hold in nurse neither do woman which not before twenty  two as some say twenty five and therefore be manlike woman bring forth a more  generous or long live progeny than the Roman or Athenian or theban woman do  which be ripe for marriage at twelve or fourteen year and if there be any  thing eminent in the Spartan that be rather to be impute to the parsimony of  their diet than to the late marriage of their woman but this we be teach by  experience that there be some race which be long live for a few descent so  that long life be like some disease a thing hereditary within certain bind  fair in face or skin or Hoire be short liver black or read or freckle long  also too fresh a colour in youth do less promise long life than paleness a  hard skin be a sign of long life rather than a soft but we understand not this  of a rugged skin such as they call a goose skin which be as it be spungy but  of that which be hard and close a forehead with deep furrow and wrinkle be a  better sign than a smooth and plain forehead the hair of the head hard and  like bristle do betoken long life than those that be soft and delicate curl  hair betoken the same thing if they be hard withal but the contrary if they be  soft and shine the like it the curl be rather thick than in large bunch early  or late baldness be a indifferent thing see many which have be bold betimes  have live long also early grey hair howsoever they may seem forerunner of old  age approach be no sure sign for many that have grow grey betimes have live to  great year nay hasty grey hair without baldness be a token of long life  contrary if they be accompany with baldness hairiness of the upper part be a  sign of short life and they that have extraord nary much hair on their breast  live not long but hairiness of the low part as of the thigh and leg be a sign  of long life tallness of stature if it be not immoderate with a convenient  make and not too slender especial if the body be active withal be a sign of  long life also on the contrary man of low stature live long if they be not too  active and stir in the proportion of the body they which be short to the waste  with long leg be long live than which be long to the waste and have short leg  also they which be large in the neither part and straight in the upper the  make of their body rise as it be into a sharp figure be long live than they  that have broad shoulder and be slender down ward leanness where the affection  be settle calm and peaceable also a more fat habit of body join with choler  and a disposition stir and peremptory signify long life but corpulency in  youth before show short life in age it be a thing more indifferent to be long  and slow in grow be a sign of long life if to a great stature the great sign  if to a lesser stature yet a sign though contrary to grow quick to a great  stature be a evil sign if to a small stature the less evil firm flesh a  raw-boned body and vein lie high than the flesh betoken long life the contrary  to these short life a head some what a to the proportion of the body a  moderate neck nor long nor slender nor fat nor too short wide nostril what  soever the from of the nose be a large mouth a grisly not fleshy strong and  contiguous not small or thin-set foretoken long life and much more if some new  tooth put our elder year a broad breast yet not bear out but rather bend  inward shoulder somewhat crooked and as they call such person round back a  belly a hand large and with few line in the palm a short and round foot thigh  not fleshy and calf of the leg not hang over but neat be sign of long life eye  somewhat large and the circle of they incline to greenness sense not too quick  the pulse in youth slow towards old age quick facility of hold the breath and  long than usual the body in youth incline to be bind in the decline of year  more laxative be also sign of long life concern the time of nativity as they  refer to long life nothing have be observe worthy the set down save only  astrological observation which we reject in our topic a birth at the eight  month be not only not long live but not likely to live  species of comfrey plant winterBirths be account the long live a pythagorical  or monast call diet accord to rule and always equal as that of be seem to be  very effectual for long life yet the contrary among those that live free and  after the common sort such as have good stomach and feed more plentiful be  often the long live the middle diet which we account the temperate be commend  and conduce to good health but not to long life for the spare diet beget few  spirit and dull and so waste the body less and the liberal diet yield more  ample nourishment and so repair more but the middle diet do neither of both  for where the extreme be hurtful there the mean be best but where the extreme  be helpful there the mean be nothing worth now to that spare diet there be  requisite watch lest the spirit be few shall be oppress with much sleep little  exercise lest they shall exhale abstinence from venery lest they shall be  exhaust but to the liberal diet on the other side be requisite much sleep  frequent exercise and a seasonable use of venery bath and anointings such as  be ancient in use do rather tend to deliciousness than to prolong of life but  of all these thing we shall speak more exact when we come to the inquisition  accord to intention mean while that of cels who be not only a learned  physician but a wise man be not to be omit who advice interchange and  alternation of the diet but still with a inclination to the more benign as  that a man shall sometime accustom himself to watch sometime to sleep but to  sleep again that he shall sometime give himself to fast sometime to feast but  to feast often that he shall sometime inure himself to great labour of the  mind sometime to relaxation of the same but to relaxation often certain this  be without all question that diet well order bear the great part in the  prolongation of life neither do I ever meet a extreme longlived man but be ask  of his course he observe something peculiar some one thing some another I  remember a old man above a hundred year of age who be produce as a witness  touch a ancient prescription when he have finish his testimony the judge  familiar ask he how he come to live so long he answer beside expectation and  not without the laughter of the hearer by eat before I be hungry and drink  before I be dry but of these thing we shall speak hereafter a life lead in  religion and in holy exercise seem to conduce to long life there be in this  kind of life these thing leisure admiration and contemplation of heavenly  thing joy not sensual noble hope wholesome fear sweet sorrow last continual  renovation by observance penance expiation all which be very powerful to the  prolongation of life unto which if you add that austere diet which the mass of  the body and humble the spirit no marvel if a extraordinary length of life do  follow such as be that of Paul the Simeon Stilita the anchorite and of many  other hermit and Ancherites next unto this be the life lead in good letter  such as be that of philosopher rhetorician grammarian this life be lead also  in feisure and in those think which see they be sever from the affair of the  world bite not but rather delight through their variety and impertinency they  live also at their pleasure spend their time in such thing as like they best  and for the most part in the company of young man which be ever the most  cheerful but in philosophy there be great difference betwixt the sect as touch  long life for those philosophy which have in they a touch of superstition and  be conversant in high contemplation be the best as the pythagorical and  platonic also those which do institute a perambulation of the world and  consider the Varietit of natural thing and have retchless and high and  magnanimous think as of infinitum of the star of the heroical virtue and such  like be good for lengthen of life such be those of Philolaus Xenophanes the  Astrologians and Stoic also those which have no profound speculation in they  but discourse calm on both side out of common sense and the receive opinion  without any shapr inquisition be likewise good such be those of Carneades and  the academic also of the rhetorician and grammarian but contrary philosophy  conversant in perplex subtlety and which pronounce peremptory and which  examine and all thing to the scale of principle last which be thorny and  narrow be evil such be those common of the peripatetic and of the schoolman  the country life also be well fit for long life it be much abroad and in the  open air it be not slothful but ever in employment it feed upon fresh eat and  unbought it be without care and envy for the militar life we have a good  opinion of that while a man be young certain many excellent riers have be long  live cf who conquered Veii Agesilaus with other ancient and modern no doubt it  further long life to have all thing from our youth to our elder age mend and  grow to the better that a youth full of cross may minister sweetness to our  old age we conceive also that affection inflame with a desire of fight and  hope of victory do infuse such a heat into the spirit as may be profitable for  long life medicine for long life the be of physic which we now have look no  further common than to conservation of health and cure of disease as for these  thing which tend proper to long life there be but slight mention and by the  way only notwithstanding we will propound those medicine which be notable in  this kind I those which be call cordial for it be consonant to reason that  those thing which be take in cure do defend and fortify the heart or more true  the spirit against poison and disease be transfer with judgement and choice  diet shall have a good effect in some sort towards the prolong of life this we  will do not heap they promiscuous together as the manner be but select the  best gold be give in three from either in that which they call aurum potabile  or in wine wherein cold have be quench or in gold in the substance such as be  leaf gold and the file gold as for aurum it be use to be give in desperate or  dangerous disease and that not without good success but we suppose that the  spirit of the salt by which the gold be dissolve do rather minister that  virtue which be find in it than the gold it self though this secret be whole  suppress now if the body of gold can be open without these corrosive water or  by these corrosive water so the venomous quality be want well wash we conceive  it will be no unprofitable medicine pearl be take either in a fine powder or  in a certain mass or dissolution by the juice of sour and new lemon and they  be give sometime in aromatical confection sometime in liquor the pearl no  doubt have some affinity with the shell in which it grow and may be of the  same quality with the Shels of CreyFishes among the transparent precious stone  two only be account cordial the emeraud and the which be give under the same  from that the pearl be save only that the dissolution of they as far as we  know be not in use but we suspect these glassy jewel leave they shall be cut  of these which we have mention how far and in what manner they be helpful  shall be speak Bezear stone be of approve virtue for refresh the spirit and  procure a gentle sweat as for horn it have lose the credit with we yet so as  it may keep rank with heart horn and the bone in the heart of a heart and  ivory and such like amber Grise be one of the best to appease and comfort the  spirit hereafter follow the name only of the simple cordial see their virtue  be sufficient know hot cold saffron nitre folium ivory rise violet lignum aloe  straw very leave citron peel or rind straw very balm juice of sweet lemon  basil Clove gillyflower juice of sweet orange orange flower juice of Permaines  rosemary borrage mint bugloss   betony burnet carduus Benedictus sander  camphire see our speech now be of those thing which may be transfer into diet  all hot water and chemical oil which a certain trifler say be under the planet  mar and have a furious and destructive force as also all hot and bite spice be  to be reject and a consideration to be have how water and liquor may be make  of the former simples not those phlegmatic distil water nor again those burn  water of spirit of wine but such as may be more temperate and yet lively and  send forth a benign vapour we make some question touch the frequent let of  blood whether it conduce to long life or no and we be rather in the opinion  that it do if it be turn into a habit and other thing be well dispose for it  let we out the old juice of the body and bring in new we suppose also that  some emaciate disease well cure do profit to long life for they yield new  juice the old be consume and as he say to recover a sickness be to renew youth  therefore it be good to make some artificial disease which be do by strict and  emaciate diet of which we shall speak hereafter the intention have finish the  inquisition accord to the subject as namely of inanimate body vegetable live  creature man we will now come near to the matter and order our inquisition by  certain intention such as be true and proper as we be whole persuade and which  be the very path to mortal life for in this part nothing that be of worth have  be inquire but the contemplation of man have be but simple and non-proficients  for when we hear meren the one side speak of comfort Naturail heat and the  radical moisture and of meat which breed good blood such as may neither be  burn nor phlegmatic and of the cheer and recreate of the spirit we sappose  they to be no bid man which speak these thing but none of these effectual  towards the end but when on the other side we hear several discourse touch  medicine make of gold because gold be not subject to corruption and touch  precious stone to refresh the spirit by their hide property and lustre and  that if they can be take and retain in vessel the balsam and Quint essence of  live creature will make man conceive a proud hope of immortality and that the  flesh of serpent and heart by a certain consent be powerful to the renovation  of life because the one cast his skin the other by horn they shall also have  add the flesh of eagle because the eagle change bill and that a certain man  when he have find a ointment hide under the ground and have anoint himself  there with from head to foot except only the sole of his foot do by this  anoint live three hundred year without any disease save only some tumour in  the sole of his fact and of Artefius who when be find his spirit ready to  depart draw into his body the spirit of a certain young man and thereby make  he breathless but himself live many year by another man spirit and of  fortunate hour accord to the figure of heaven in which medicine be to be  gather and compound for the prolongation of life and of the seal of planet by  which virtue may be draw and fetch down from heaven to prolong life and such  like fabulous and superstitious vanity we wonder exceed that man shall so much  dote as to suffer themselves to be delude with these thing and again we do  pity mankind that they shall have the hard fortune to be besiege with such  frivolous and senseless apprehension but our intention do both come home to  the matter and be far from vain and credulous imagination be also such as we  conceive posterity may add much to the matter which satisfy those intention  but to the intention themselves but a little notwithstanding there be a few  thing and those of very great moment of which we will have man to be before  warn first we be of that opinion that we esteem the office of life to be more  worthy than life it self therefore if there be any thing of that kind that may  indeed exact answer our intention yet so that the office and duty of life be  thereby hinder whatsoever it be of this kind we reject it perhaps we may make  some light mention of such thing but we not upon they for we make no serieus  nor diligent discourse either of hading the life in cave where the SunneBeames  and several change of the air pierce not like his cave or of perpe tuall bath  make of liquor prepare or of shirt and fear clothes so apply that the body  shall be always as it be in a box or of thick paint of the body after the  manner of some barbarous nation or of a exact order of our life and diet which  aim onlyat this and mind nothing else but that a man live as be that of  Herodicus among the ancient and of cornarus the Venetian in our day but with  great moderation or of any such prodigy tediousness or inconvenience but we  propound such remedy and by which the office of life may neither be desert nor  receive any great interruption or Mo'estations
