Emaciating difea/es. In Vegetables, there is one part that is more Nou¬ 
rifhing than another ; As Graines , and Roots nourifh more, than the ar S**f Nou ~ 
Lanes 5 In fo much as the Order of the Foliatanes Was put downe by the 
Pope, as finding Leauesvnable to nourifh mans Body. Whether there 
bee chat difference in the Flefh of Lining Creatures, is not well inquired: 
As whether Liners, and other Entrailes, bee not more Nourifhing, than 
the Outward Flefb. Weefinde thatamongft the Romans, a Goofes Litter

Scotch Schincke, (which is a Pottage of ftrong Nourifhment) is made

they vfe for a Reftoratiue, is chiefly made of Knuckles of Veale. The 
Pulpe that is within the Crafifh or Crabb, which they fpice and butter, 
more Nourifhing than the Flefh of the Crabb or Crajijh. Th eTolkes of 
Egges are clearely more Nourifhing than the Whites . So that it Ihould

rifh more than the Outward Flefh : Except it be the Braine ; which the 
Spirit prey too muchvpon, toleaue it any great Vertue of Nourifhing
