 thefe two parts (in mine opinion) that is more ex¬

 fpcA, lead that kit eyes ihould alienate his mindc from 
 his prefeot purpofe. Whofe examples may reach ail Sra- 
 denrs, that a clofe place without noyfe, not full of light 
 is beft to ftudic in: nay, one light (by Quintilians iudge- 
 ment) is fufficient. And that light which is, Ihould not 
 come directly againft our faces, for that is hurtful! to 
 the light, but it Qtould come alwaies on thatlide which 
 is contraric to thepenne hand. Alfo, to Hand at our flu* 
 die, or to Icanc vpon fotne Pillow or Quilhion, as long 
 as wee may well endure it, is much better then to lit con* 
 tinually, becaufe by that mcanes the bloud and humours 
 may haue more cafic pafTage to all the parts of the bo- 
 dic, and the excrements may the better defeend: for by 
 much fitring and cold, many Students in their oldao-e 
 (if happily they liuc fo long) fall to the gout, to the drop- 
 hc, and fuch like. But I would haue Students whether 
 they Hand or fit, alwayes to remember, Thatamcafure 
 is beft in all things. And ifit happen that wc be cloyed 
 with (ludie, then muft wee fall to recreation, and vfe fome 
 honed play or padime: ^ ct fo 30 Tully Wee 
 
 may lawfully vfc play and padimes, but eucn as deepe 
 and other redings, at fuch time as wee haue fufficicnrly 
 ended grauc and earned caufes, and the verie manner of 
 our play mud not bcdifTolute nor vnfober, but honeft 
 and pleafant. Mhcccof U)ce a notable example tn
