colorem quia gignit adustam_ ... the Authour in this Text warneth vs, to
beware of crusts eating, because they ingender a-dust cholor, or
melancholly humours, by reason that they bee burned and dry. And
therefore great estates the which be [_orig._ the] chollerick of nature,
cause the crustes aboue and beneath to be chipped away; wherfore the
pith or crumme should be chosen, the which is of a greater nourishment
then the crust.” _Regimen Sanitatis Salerni_, ed. 1634, p. 71. Fr.

set most comonli to vile things; they be called slaues, thei do gader
grapes and _fygges_, and with some of the _fygges_ they wyl wip ther

called y^e lande of Iude, it is a noble countre of ryches, plenty of
wine & corne ... _Figges_ and Raysions, & all other frutes.” In his
_Regyment_, fol. M. iii., Borde says of ‘Fygges ... They doth stere a

generacion. And also they doth prouoke a man to sweate: wherfore they
