     summary: One cannot deny but this is a very strong argument , and 't is likely that these reasons being considered by that same Physitian of Merchena , might induce him to affirm , that Chocolate was obstructive , for he thought it contrary to all Philosophy , to say that the Cacao is hot and moist in the highest degree , which is certainly believed to be cold and dry . First by experience ; ( supposing that which Galen says , That every temperate Medicament heats that which is cold , and cools that which is hot , giving for example the Oyl of Roses ) with experience I say , grounded on the practice and custom which they have amongst them , in the Indies , for ( I coming very much heated to visit one of my Patients , when I desired some water of them to cool my self ) they advised me to take a Dish of Chocolate , with which I quenched my thirst , but taking it the next morning fasting it heated me and fortified my Stomack . Now let us prove this opinion by reason , we have before demonstrated that all the parts of the Cacao were not cold ; for we have shew'd , that the buttery and oyly parts , which are in great number are hot , or at least temperate .

Lemnius de occultis hath written a whole Chapter of the rattle which men have in their throats before they die , and ascribes it to the contractions of the vitall spirits , &c. and so it may be well enough ; for that a mans breath is stopped by flegme and undigested humors , which come from the mouth of the stomach into the throat , as well as an halter doth stop it outwardly . 4. Because men cannot ordinarily have the said composition , I thought fit to add one thing more , made with great ease , and of admirable use , as well for the wind , as also to dissolve tough flegme and humors in the stomach , as also to comfort the stomach , that is , Take Enulacampane Roots dried , pounded , and sifted , mingle therewith as much Sugar as shall please your taste , to take away the bitterness of the roots : Then add thereunto a small quantity of pounded Nutmeg and Ginger : Mingle all these together with a sufficient quantity of Sallet-oyl , Hony , or other pleasant syrope , to the thickness of an Electuary .
