to know thy complection to know what humours abound in thee or are deficient or whether they or any of them be confounded or shuffled with nature causing alteration or confusion CHAP. 5. TO define the pestilent feuer is but to reiterate others actions neither much profitable to the vnlearned therefore I purpose to spend the time in that which may tend vnto the good of the most with the least suspect of detraction or ambition The pestilent feuer is taken not onely by infection in the ayre infused by celestiall orbes and from putrified places in and vpon the earth but also by bad humours about the heart and ill affected spirits in the heart whose aptitude doth entertaine the said infection yet not alike in all for all then should die alike but according to the complection it is taken sooner or slower in greater quantitie or lesse and according to the virulent qualitie or quantitie in the ayre taken sooner or slower and according to the subiect sooner or slower destroying as in the humours about the heart and the spirits in the heart in the one slower in the other sooner because the vitall and animall are destroyed more speedily thereupon it commeth when any are thus wise affected they are exceeding hot they rage they cannot stand and die quickly or suddenly in the other soores often times doe saue because nature doth purge hir selfe by the emunctory places But if they doe not breake forth the virulent matter returning to the places about the heart there doth remaine and kindleth exceeding beat whereby the heart spirits therein contained are inflamed and all naturall humiditie thereby consumed CHAP. 6. THe qualities vnnaturally working in the ayre from the celestiall orbes and massie globe are ouer much hotnes and moystnes actiuely working in the ayre and all three in the humours and spirits of man the sooner by the aptitude of complection and season or the time of the yeare altering the qualities naturall both in complection and ayre in sommer sooner in winter slower in the one because there is exhalation of putrified vapours and heate exceeding causing it to be more virulent in the other because of the antiperistasin of the could qualitie in the ayre which doth alter the hotnes infused from aboue and diuert or turne back the hot putrified qualitie lower into the earth where the coldnes of the earth doth alter it and the drynes retayne it The substance or matter putrifying in the humours or spirits of man is ayre impure thicker then ayre naturall by reason of moisture yet not so thicke as water or mysts by reason of heat hotter then ayre naturall yet not so drie by reason of excesse of moisture CHAP. 7. THe reason wherefore it doth putrifie in the humours or spirits of man is the excesse of heat or moisture putrified in the aire conueied thither the one inflaming the other cause of continuing or retaining by reason of the densitie or thicknes Secondly aptnes in the subiects to entertaine the fame And thirdly large passages to conuey the same to the subiects and in all a disparance from the substance and qualities of the ayre and of the naturall humours and spirits in man CHAP. 8. IF the substance of the ayre be infected then not onely men but birds beasts hearbs and plants will die CHAP. 9. IF the aire be infected in qualitie then men and birdes may die by it more or lesse sooner or slower according to the quantitie of the virulent matter receiued according to the quantitie of virulent and putrified matter in the receiuer and according to the aptnes in the subiects either by large passages letting it in and beeing within inhabilitie of contrarie qualities to expell the same If putrefaction be in the qualite of the ayre that it is ouer hotte and grosse or more hot then grosse as commonly it is then it is good for the cholericke and sanguine to dwell in low roomes CHAP. 10. THese are signes shewing the ayre to be infected in qualitie the next yeare following in autumne before there will be flashings of fyre and many meteors of vnequall shapes in the spring following could and little rayne in the spring and sommer the wind most South-ward great heate in the day and the night very cold CHAP. 11. THese are the signes shewing the ayre to be infected in substance and qualitie the effect continuing sommer and winter and the next spring following the reason is if the ayre the winter before had beene infected only in qualitie then the contrarie would haue corrected it which to iudgement whas as hable as in other winters Secondly passions sensible felt and seene in bodies in the hearbs in the ayre and from the earth like as was the yeare or spring before Thirdly the euent in places more generall where no meanes came but the ayre to infect CHAP. 12. IF the putrefaction proceedeth most of the earth or vppermost partes of the earth as from stinking channells standing lakes priuyes or other polluted places as dunghills vncleane kept houses and such like then there will be felt many sudden great stinches and vnsauerie smells such as cannot be distinguished or discerned what it is or whereof it commeth because it is confounded beeing made of diuers stinches in that yeare there wil be many frogges toades venemous wormes fleas and flyes CHAP. 13. IF the putrefaction proceedeth from within the earth then venemous beasts and wormes will be seene more commonly aboue the earth and will breede vpon the earth and many of them will die CHAP. 14. THe putrefaction or virulent matter of infection now is from celestiall orbes principally also from corrupt places partly from corrupt humours in man begotten by the two former and ill order in feeding and sleeping in idlenes and late walking abroad and sitting vp CHAP. 15. THe infection taken at the nostrills is more daungerous then otherwise because there are two organes or passages that lead to the heart from thence more then from the mouth CHAP. 16. THe putrified aire cannot passe so speedily to mans heart as to diuers other creatures by the instrument of smelling which is couered with a pellicle or filme which is to be lifted vp before he can smell by the ayre or fume and that pellicle is grosser in man then in other creatures and therefore requireth the hotter or stronger fume to mooue it Secondly the instrument of smelling is placed deeper in the head then in any other creatures Thirdly the instrument of smelling is nigh the braine in man which with the moysture doth hinder the naturall complexion of the instrument of smelling which is hot and drie attractiue or drawing vnto it CHAP. 17. IF the putrefaction in the ayre be more hot then moist then it is more apt to destroy and to be taken by the nostrills first because the heat is subtile and passeth vp speedily to the pellicle and mooueth with the fume or moisture Secondly for that the heat doth resist the coldnes and moisture of

cichorie water lillies and red roses are likewise good to coole the liuer CHAP. 40. THese are not conuenient for this complexion flesh of old beastes vdders braynes fat especially of flesh hot bread much sleep bloodinges or intralles of beastes marrow rawe hearbes except borage cichorie or lettice nue ale hard cheese Fennish flowers are ill CHAP. 41. THese are good for this complexion bread of wheate somwhat leauened well baked not ouer ould wines well fined and of meates those which are of good digestiō not ouer sweete nor ouer easely to be digested CHAP. 42.

SIchorie rootes and such like before mentioned are good to coole the liuer CHAP. 47. THe vse of these wooddes are good for this complexion cypresse the tamariske santalum rub alb citrinum CHAP. 48. THese not so good the iuniper guiacum the wood aloes the hebene tree box tree red styrax milleldine the cedar tree CHAP. 49. These gummes for this complexion are good the Arabicke and Camphure CHAP. 50. These ill the gumme of the Cedar and the gumme Ammoniacum beeing hot in the third degree but these worst of all Euphorbium and the gumme Belzoin for they are hot in the fourth degree CHAP. 51. Let this complexion take heede in taking Methridate treacle saffron and such like which oft times are meanes to inflame and procure sores whereas there would be none and the malignant matter by lesse dangerous meanes or by natures habilitie might be preuented CHAP. 52. The phlegmatike complexion is so called by the two qualities in the water cold and moistnes combined and predominant in a bodie consisting likewise of the other three elements yet principally participating of this and thereupon hath the denomination phlegmaticke videl cold moist for the most part CHAP. 53. Signes to know this complexion The substance soft foggie quauing the colour of the substance whitish the proportion large for the most part or els exceeding grosse veines hardly seene blood waterish pulse slowe the bodie slowe in motion sleepie dull haire plaine sieldome bald not apt to learne cowardish spittle white and after motion very frothie vrine grosse white especially after great labour subiect to dreame of waterie things as of fish and ponds much superfluitie or excrements by spitting and sweating the feete stinking especially after motion the bodie subiect to his naturall infirmitie in Februarie betweene the tenth day and the twentieth this complexion is subiect to paine in the head loynes knees priuities armes and feete by phlegmatike humours taking cold fearefull timorous the breast commonly without haire sieldome angrie not retaining anger soone cold the breast commonly narrow and these are subiect to the sicknes of the heart and much subiect to a quotidian feuer CHAP. 54. This complexion is aptest to breede the infection because moisture doth cause putrefaction especially in the latter spring and winter because then phlegme raigneth causing grosse humours that is to say making blood thicke phlegme thicke and choller grosse retaining heat vnnaturall which by heate in sommer is made more hot and virulent expelling putrefaction You must vnderstand that I write vpon the phlegmatike bodie as he is said so to be naturally of phlegme which is cold and moist sweete white without distinction in tast for that tasteth all other things the substance the forme the passions the accidents of the phlegmaticke which hath phlegme vnnaturall are diuers for some is slimie some salt some viscous some sower plasterie stipticke thicke grosse some thin before all or any of the which phlegme naturall was and by distemperature it becommeth as before which for the most part is by excesse of phlegme naturall and by accidents comming to it CHAP. 55. The diet for the phlegmaticke Hot things moderately vsed are good for this complexion for they doe attenuate and digest phlegme Eate of one meate at a meale if not then eate the finest first els the grosse meates suffocate and the finest lie vndigested by reason of the coldnes in the stomacke which cannot digest the grosse meates so speedily as other complexions They must abstaine from such meates as ingender phlegme ouermuch and are cold and slimie clammie or clung new cheefe ill all fish for the most part the best are small fishes fried the inwards of beasts ill repletion or feeding to the full ill for concoction in the phlegmaticke is slower then others and therefore they ought of all others to satisfie nature not appetite Idlenes is ill for agitation procureth heate and concoction although it may be alledged that the stomacke is neuer idle nor out of motion in any complexion and therefore not onely the stomacke but all the bodie desireth not to mooue but to be quiet and still euen as the water which mooueth not except the winde mooue it or the straightens or highnes of the place force it to mooue CHAP. 56. These mineralls are ill for this complexion to vse in regard of their coldnes quicksiluer lead white lead burnt lead spume of siluer or the dragges of lead CHAP. 57. These stones are likewise ill for their coldnes the carbuncle called a corneol the saphyre stone the christall the granat stone and this worst the diamant for it is cold in the fourth degree likewise corall pearle is ill CHAP. 58. Things cold in the first or second degree or moist in the first or second degree are not vtterly to be forbidden to this complexion because they worke not extremely but may properly be corrected by things hot and drie in the second degree and so made temperate But things moist or cold in the third or fourth degree are sieldome or neuer to be vsed for their correctiues must be equipollent and then very often there happeneth to the qualities of the other humours no little distemperature Vse this sieldome Mandrags houseleeke henbane these neuer humblocke poppie golden-hearb otherwise called orch forbeare sorrell lettice purslaine violets waterlillies endiue cichorie fumitorie plantin borage nightshade white roses and redde Eate sieldome of sharpe oringes peares prunes more
