melancholy_n be_v the_o dregs_o of_o blood_n it_o be_v black_a and_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o poringer_n and_o when_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o this_o it_o be_v no_o good_a sign_n than_o

of_o it_o we_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v phlegmatic_a natural_o sleepy_a rude_a and_o dull_a to_o action_n and_o to_o spit_v much_o but_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o of_o this_o than_o of_o

therefore_o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o blood_n shall_v be_v without_o this_o water_n for_o it_o want_v show_v dryness_n and_o thickness_n of_o blood_n this_o be_v in_o such_o we_o fast_o much_o
