     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 .

       title: A new discovery of the old art of teaching schoole in four small treatises ... : shewing how children in their playing years may grammatically attain to a firm groundedness in and exercise of the Latine, Greek, and Hebrew tongues : written about twenty three yeares ago, for the benefit of the Rotherham School where it was first used, and after 14 years trial by diligent practise in London in many particulars enlarged, and now at last published for the general profit, especially of young schoole-masters / by Charles Hoole ...

     summary: Now because all our teaching is but meer trifling , unlesse withall we be carefull to instruct children in the grounds of true Religion , let them be sure to get the Lords Prayer , the Creed , and the ten Commandements ; First in English , and then in Latine , every Saturday morning for Lessons , from their first entrace to the Grammar Schoole ; and for their better understanding of these Fundamentals of Christianity , you may ( according to Mr. Bernards little Catechisme ) resolve them into such easy questions , as they may be able to answer of themselves , and give them the Quotations , or Texts of Scriptures , which confirm or explain the doctrinal points contained in them , to write out the following Lords day , and to show on Monday mornings , when they come to Schoole . 7. In translating every night two verses out of the Proverbs into Latine , and two out of the Latine Testament into English , which ( with other dictated Exercises ) are to be corrected on Fridayes , after repetitions ended , and shewed fair written on Saturday mornings ; but , because their wits are now ripened for the better understanding of Grammar , and it is necessary for them to be made wholly acquainted with it , before they proceed to the exact reading of Authors , and making Schoole-exercises , I would have them spend one quarter of a yeare , chiefly in getting Figura , and Prosodia , and making daily repetition of the whole Accidents and Common-Grammar .

     summary: THough the Use of Tea has for many Years past been highly approv'd of in the Empires of China and Japan , which are at present the chief Kingdoms that cherish this celebrated Leaf ; yet since the Europeans by their frequent Navigations have open'd a freer Trade and Commerce to those Parts , and have thereby been better acquainted with the Genius of those People , and their Manner of Life , they have thereby taken occasion to inform us , among other things , with the singular Esteem which those Eastern Nations harbour for it , and of what daily Use it is among them . That which in England is called Tea , is in some other places pronounc'd Thee , especially in the Province of Fokien , which lies in China between 25 and 30 deg . of Latitude .
