M Vch Motion and Exercifeis good forfom e Bodies * And Sittings 
and lejje Motion for Others. If the Body be Hot, and Void of Su¬ 
perfluous Moift ures, too much Motion hurteth: And it is an Errour in 
phyftians, to call too much vpon Exercife. Likewife Men ought to be¬ 
ware, that they vfenot Exercife , anda Spare D/Vrboth:But if much£v- 
ercife,thcn a Plentifull Diet-, And if Sparing Diet, then little Exercife.The 
Benefits that come of Exercife are,Viri\,that it fendeth Nourifoment into 
the Parts more forcibly. Secondly, that hclpethto Excerne by Sweaty 
and fo maketh the Parts afifimilate tff more perfedly. Thirdly,that it 
maketh the Suhflmce ofthe Body more Solide and CompaB j And fo lelfe 
apt to be Confumed and Depredated by the Spirits. The Emils that 
comeof£xw//£,are; Firft, that it maketh the Spirits more Hot and 
Predatory. Secondly, that it doth abforbe likewife, and attenuate too 
much the Moifture of the Body. Thirdly, that it maketh too great Con- 
cufion, ( elpecially if it be violent,) of the Inward Parts-, which delight 
more in Reft. But generally Exercife, if it be much, is no Friend to Pro¬ 
longation of Life •, Which is onecaufe,why women Hue longer than Men 3
