Now thefe things, which I have hitherto dide 4 1 1 1 1 d 3 E 1 E ong "m IAS e's ua red, concerning the election of Aire, being confi de- e red, it doth plainly appeare, that of the (ame a tem- perate mediocritie in caliditie, frigiditie, humiditie, — : and ficcitie, as much as poffi bly may bes befidesthe. ‘Jucid and cleare fubftance of it,-is for the ees . tion of health to be defi red, becanfe fach Aire doth | caufe ^ : i: e A Via rela Wt Vitam longer.” b caufe and neve the health ofthe inhabitants.For nothing verily caufeth the body to be more lively and: jocund, and leffz dall and unapt about the vo- —. luntary and animall motions, than to live in aptre, ! cleare;and temperate. Aire, which hath in it no mix- ture of any filty or offenfive vapour. And there are . two things that doe plainely manifeft the whole- fomeneffe of (uch Aire;as fir(t, places free from vc- ry low Valleys, and Moores, and foggie Mittes in eliiag, cleare voyce, and no difficulty of breath- ing, or unluftineffe of che ‘limmes: For by thefe fignes the: wholefomeneffe of the Aire is approved, and. by the contrary. th e. offenfive and noyfome breath thereof isdete&ed. = _- Butfeeing that it is not every mens lot to lift in 2: ^. pureand healthy Aire, and {uch is the neceffity of. the Aire, that even for a moment of time it cannot. — be e(chewed, it muft needs follow, that from it our bodies receive very great alterations: Wherefore the evilneffe ofthe Aire being knowne,and the alte- ration which it maketh in our bodies confi dered,-it ^ oqay be eafie in our meat, drinke. ,exercife;&c. to be | je& the contrary,which may much hinder, infringe, - mote from low, fennie, and moorifh places; forthe health of the bedy ought. to be pucr before: -and attemper the action and power of the Aire; but - yet I counfellall fuch as are truly generous , that: they maketheir habitetions,fo much as may be, re- any pecuniary t profits. What things | declare the -Who'fomnefle- ofthe Aire, the night; thenthe bodies of the Inhabitanrs, asan. .

For if onecold and moift | VVày are not ^o Vie relja ad Vitamlougam. 000 VVhether the change of Aire, which is feene in every — quarter of the geere may be deemed neceffary forthe prefervation of health; seeing that we finde by yeerly .

Wherefore Almighty God, forthe fingular ~ comfort and commodity of man, harh ordered,that the exceeding temperature of one feafor,fhouldbe — corrected by the contraryofanother. = = And from hence it may eafily be colle&ed, why — men commonly arenot fo healthy in their ftate of body , nor foacute and exa& in the actions of their — minde, in that feafon of the yeere, which in its tem-' perature’ is correfpondent to the temperature of — their bodies, as in that which is not anfverable; - or is contrary thereunto. For like being added to o j x Mb cn M Re^ j : 4 ] S ^ e ; E Via re aad Vitam longam. — E | jtslike, augmenteth the fame, andfoone caufetha the yeere | — diferafie, a putting of the body and fpirits out of us isan- | - frame: and therefore füch asare cholerick,of an hot werable to anddry temperature, are in their ftate of body, bet- is Da | teria the Winter than in the Summer, becaufe the bodics.as in | coldand moifture of the Winter, attempereth the Rddiun |. heat and ficcity of their bodies, and ftablifhech the thereunto ? -fpirits. And fo bythe contrary, Phlegmatick bo». - dies are in better {tate inthe Summer , than in the Winter. The like may be faid for Sanguine bodies inthe Autumne, & for Melancholick in the Spring: for the moderate cold and ficcity of the Autumne | doth atcemper the heat and moifture of the one;and ide the heat and moifture of the Spring, the cold and - drouth of the other, fubtiliating withall, and vivify- - og the fpirits.
