eternall life. SPV. Your saiynges are muche like too bee true. HED. Nowe the pleasures of feastes dooeth not consist in the delicates of the mouth, nor in the good sauces of cookes, but in health of body and appetite of stomacke.  You may not thynke that any delicious person suppeth more pleasauntly hauyng before hym partriches, turtelles, leuerettes, bekers, sturgeon, and lamprayes:  then a vertuous man hauyng nothig too eat, but onely bread potage, or wortes:  and nothyng || too drynke, but water, single bere, or wyne well alayde, be cause he taketh these thinges as prepared of God vnto all lyuyng creatures, and that they bee now yeoue vnto him of his gentyll and mercifull father, praier maketh euery thyng too sauour well.  The petition in ye begynnyng of dyner sanctifieth all thynges and in a while after there is recited some holy lesson of the woorde of God:  whiche more refresheth the minde, then meate the body, and grace after all this.  Finally he riseth from the table, not ful:  but recreated, not laden, but refreshed:  yea, refreshed both in spirit and bodie, thynke you that any chief deuiser of these muche vsed bakets, & || deintye delicaces fareth nowe more deliciously?

SP. Would god all men were as well perswaded in that thyng. He. And if they bee Epicures that lyue pleasauntli:  none bee righter Epicures then they that liue vertuously, and if we wyll that euery thyng haue it right name none deserueth more ye cogname of an Epicure, then that Prince of all godly wisedome too who most reueretly
