V. Vander Heidan, has not related an hundredth part of the Virtues, in Cold Water. I tender you the Advice which the Aged Servant of GOD gave to his Valued Son, Drink not only Water; but ⟨p. 132⟩use a little Wine for thy Stomachs sake. And yet I would say, upon Drinking a Glass of Generous Wine, often take a Glass of Water. And if the Beer they bring you, be too Strong, dilute it with putting a sufficient Quantity of Water into it.
