hence_o grow_v the_o prudence_n and_o sapience_n which_o be_v find_v in_o man_n in_o sort_n that_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o ill_a token_n to_o have_v the_o flesh_n tender_a than_o dry_a and_o hard_a and_o so_o in_o man_n who_o have_v a_o equal_a temperature_n throughout_o their_o whole_a body_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o gather_v the_o quality_n of_o their_o wit_n by_o the_o tenderness_n

when_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n give_v it_o contentment_n sudden_o it_o move_v the_o same_o and_o after_o it_o all_o the_o muscle_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o many_o time_n we_o do_v allow_v of_o

please_v very_o well_o and_o if_o they_o have_v some_o little_a correspondence_n and_o nothing_o else_o the_o same_o receive_v thereby_o rather_o pain_n than_o gladness_n hence_o it_o grow_v that_o man_n of_o great_a imagination_n laugh_v very_o seldom_o and_o the_o point_n most_o worthy_a of_o note_v be_v that_o jester_n and_o natural_a counterfeiter_n never_o laugh_v at_o their_o own_o

correspondence_n which_o they_o require_v hereto_o may_v be_v add_v that_o merriment_n beside_o that_o they_o must_v have_v a_o good_a proportion_n and_o be_v utter_v to_o the_o purpose_n must_v be_v new_a and_o not_o to_o fore_o hear_v or_o see_v and_o this_o be_v the_o property_n not_o only_o of_o the_o imagination_n but_o also_o of_o all_o the_o other_o power_n which_o govern_v man_n for_o which_o cause_n we_o see_v that_o the_o stomach_n when_o it_o have_v twice_o feed_v upon_o one_o kind_n of_o meat_n straightway_o loathe_v the_o same_o so_o do_v the_o sight_n oneself_o shape_n and_o colour_n the_o hear_v one_o concordance_n how_o good_a soever_o and_o the_o understanding_n oneself_o contemplation_n hence_o also_o it_o proceed_v that_o the_o pleasant_a conceit_a man_n laugh_v not_o at_o the_o jest_n which_o himself_o utter_v for_o before_o he_o send_v they_o forth_o from_o his_o lip_n he_o know_v what_o he_o will_v speak_v whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o those_o who_o laugh_v much_o be_v all_o defective_a in_o their_o imagination_n wherethrough_a whatsoever_o merriment_n &_o pleasantry_n how_o cold_a soever_o with_o they_o carry_v a_o very_a good_a correspondency_n and_o because_o the_o blood_n pertake_v much_o moisture_n whereof_o we_o say_v before_o that_o it_o breed_v damage_n to_o the_o imagination_n those_o who_o be_v very_o sanguine_a be_v also_o great_a

which_o cause_n it_o partake_v better_a agreement_n with_o dryness_n because_o it_o sharpen_v his_o operation_n beside_o this_o where_o there_o be_v much_o moisture_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o heat_n be_v remiss_a see_v it_o can_v resolve_v nor_o consume_v the_o same_o and_o the_o imagination_n can_v perform_v his_o operation_n with_o a_o heat_n so_o weak_a hence_o we_o gather_v also_o that_o man_n of_o great_a understanding_n be_v much_o give_v to_o laughter_n for_o that_o they_o have_v defect_n of_o imagination_n as_o we_o read_v of_o that_o great_a philosopher_n democritus_n
