_The Allowance of _Melchor De Lara_, Physitian Generall for the
Kingdome of _Spaine_._


I Doctor _Melchor de Lara_ Physitian Generall for the Kingdom of
_Spaine_, at the command of _Don John de Velasco_, and _Asebedo_,
Vicar Generall of _Madrid_, have seene this Treatise of _Chocolate_,
composed by _Antonio Colmenero_ of _Ledesma_; which is very learned,
and curious, and therefore it ought to be Licensed for the Presse; it
containing nothing contrary to good manners; and cannot but be very
pleasing to those, who are affected to _Chocolate_. In testimony
whereof, I have subscribed my Name, in _Madrid_ the 23. day of
_August_. 1631.

The Testimoniall of _John de Mena_, Doctor and Physitian to the King
of _Spaine_.

_I _John de Mena_, Physitian to his Majesty, and one of the Counsell
Generall of the Inquisition, have seene this Treatise of _Chocolate_
(composed by Doctor _Antonio Colmenero_ of _Ledesma_) by command of
the _Supreame Royall Court of Justice_: which containeth nothing
contrary to good Manners, and the Subject if very learnedly handled,
and with great Iudgement; and no doubt, but it will give much pleasure
and content to all those, who are affected to _Chocolate_; and
therefore may be printed: And in confirmation of this truth, I have
hereto subscribed my Name the 17. of _Septemb._ 1631._

                              John de Mena _Doctor in Physicke_.
