§. 134 Of the causes of drowsiness.
§. 134 Of the causes of drowsinesse.
Both body & spirit are carefully to be roused up,1 because of our natural proneness to drowsiness, and heaviness in body & spirit, two causes there be which cause bodily slumbering. First debility and weakness of senses, whence it is that young children and old folks, are more prone to slumbering then lusty strong persons. Secondly, abundance of vapours which stupefy the senses: for fullness of meat and drink, whence those vapours⟨p. 493⟩ arise,2 make men sluggish and sleepy. Answerable there be two causes which procure spiritual sleepiness and slumbering.
