To drink cold water is good to all, but hot, signifyes Sicknes and hinderance of affayrs: to drink wine with reason, and not to be drunk, is good; but to drink much and without reason, signifies much evil: also it makes you be in the company of drunkards. All compounded wines, and potions mingled otherwise then naturally, is good for rich men, because of their delicacy. It is evill for poor folkes, which never drinke them, but in sicknesse. To drink Vrine, signifies [illegible passage] [illegible passage] Sicknesse, to drink oyl signifies poyson or Sicknesse. To thirst and finde no drinke neyther in welles, fountaines, nor rivers, is ill, and a signe not to finish his businesse, but the contrary is good. Moreover, to drinke in vessels or tankards of gold, silver, or earth, is good for all by reason of the solid matter, and use of the Vessels, which signifies tranquility Also Vessels of horn are good, for they burst not: vessels of glasse are evil, because they break easily, and reveale secrets, by reason of their transparance: otherwise these Vessels may signifie our friends, which we embrace: when therefore the Vessels are broken, it signifies the death of some of our Friends or Affinity. I know by experience, that to dreame to sée a glasse broken, signifyeth shipwracke to Marriners. There are certaine Vessels with straight mouthes, which if one shall sée broken, they signify end and issue of tribulation and anguish.
