The Wynundham dietary, with all its
penury, gives animal food once a week. I
see no reason for this in favour of this departure:
I see several reasons against it. To health
it is not necessary: to comfort I should call
it rather favour unfavourable than favourable.
It contributes nothing to the comfort even of that
day: it gives discomfort to the other
six. In quantity we may be sure it is not
adequate to mins decères: It is therefore on that day but a
periodical tantalization: By the which by the other six contrast it
and comparison, it makes the fare of the other six days seem the
worse. Confined always to one sort of food, men
would forget the taste of every other: and like
the Irish with their potatoes, the Scotch with
their oatmeal, and the Hindoos with their rice, find no simplicity enjoyment often sought for
find the same enjoyment in simplicity, as
the and the Heliobaguluses in
no variety affords in all in presents on tables
those where talk is with the spoils of
decked with the spoils of the four quarters of the world.

in vain on tables decked with the plunder
of the world.
