weaknesse of the spleen or a hot temper indeed at the first but by change turned into cold For if any which before was hot and dry by adustion hath generated much black choler he verily is besides that he is dry and cold forthwith also melancholike The age inclining which is extended from the Thirtieth year of age to the Fourty nineth for Choler adust aboundeth in the declining age because succeeding to youth of all the ages the most Cholerick receives unto it Choler adust The Autumnall Season forasmuch as Choler adust is plentifull in the fall of the leafe because this succeeding the

melancholy are conducefull and easing the diseased also all diet that breeds good and thin juice is helpfull but the contrary is hurtfull Antecedent signes of Phlegme The knowledge of phlegmatick ill juice is taken first from the causes which make large provision of phlegme such as are A temper cold and dry Old Age which is extended from the 49th yeare to the lives end For in old age there is congested much excrementitious phlegme through the want of naturall heate The winter season Because the Winter fills the body with phlegme by reason of multitude of raine Constitution of the season moist for the moisture of the ambient Aire heaps up phlegmatick superfluities The immoderate use of cold and moist nourishment and overlarge drinking waterish Liquors A diet overfull unseasonably taken in the former not being digested likewise all satiety and gluttony A sedentary life led in slothfull idlenesse specially in places waterish and moist Long sleep especially after eating The suppression of phlegme wont to be voided either by mouth or belly which was long accustomed either by it selfe or by Art The conseqnent discoverers of phlegme ruling in the body Conseqent signes of Phlegme are such as are The colour of face and body whitish sometimes of Lead-colour or blewish the face somewhat swoln and the whole habit of the body vast and over-grown with fat forasmuch as grose

An easy Method to know the Causes and Signs of the Humour most ruleth in the Body and to avoid thereby things hurtful as also to enable men to give better account of the state of their Bodies when they are diseased to the Physitian and not hazard the Lives of themselves and their Freinds by only urging him to prophesy and that often falsely the Disease by onely the inspection of Vrine THe antecedent or foregoing signes of fulnesse are such causes as breed plenty of blood Antecedent signes of fulnesse such as are The good temper of the whole Body but chiefly of the Liver and Heart with a moderately hot and moist temper The Age increasing for Children and such as are constituted betwixt them both have much blood because they are not farr distant from the principles of Nature Spring season Because in the Spring the blood is most plentifull for the cold then remitts and moisture puts forth it self A Region temperate but chiefly A more liberall diet of meates of good juice and well tempered as too much plenty and affluency of the best meat and wine a life void of cares full of rejoycing with moderate and seasonable exercise and sleeping mean Suppressing of customary vacuation of blood of its own accord or medicinal a long time intermitted suggests mattter to fulnesse The consequent or following signes of fulnesse of blood Consequent signes of fulness are incidents which demonstrate plenty of blood to be contained and reign in the body such as are The colour of the face and body ruddy beyond custome or mingled with red and white An equall swelling of all the veins The exte●●●●f the filled vessels and stretcht with fulnesse of blood ma● 〈◊〉 the view An exten●●●● wearisomnesse coming of it self wherein the body and all the joynts through wearinesse are hardly moved and the hand is hardly contracted into the fist For a distending wearisomnesse comes when as the greater veins swelling with plenty empty themselves into the lesser whence it happens that the muscles are filled and distended An overfull masse of body of abundance of flesh springs from plenty of blood The habit of the body meanly fleshly bedewed with a milde gentle and breathing heat because a habite mouerately fleshy betokens a temperate nature which is full of blood The manners of mind pleasant and sweet calm and gentle For a temperate and mild disposition of mind is a mark of a temperate habit of body Simplenesse and stupidity of mind for simplicity and stupidnesse of mind proceeds from blood heavinesse of the head by reason of plenty of vapours ascending to the brain Deep and for the most part pleasing sleep in the which things are represented by dreams full of joyfulnesse and pleasantnesse shining like light or adorned with flowers The pulse great strong and full For the veines being full the conjunction of their mouthes with the Arteries doe transfuse some of their plenty into them but the Arteries being full do yeeld such a pulse not onely in the wrist but in the temples also the fingers and the extremity of each part conspicuous by a trouble some beating The breathing is more difficult and thicker then of custome chiefly after exercise because the muscles of the breast through plenty of blood are more slow in their motion whence the breathing is more frequent in respect of its use but lesser because the inward capacity of the breast is streightened Speedy casting forth of blood by stoole the haemorrhoides monthly evacuations urine spittle or nose A facility in bearing of much bleeding Much sweat continually flowing through the whole course of a disease doth deelare the presence of fulnesse Moreover if the party diseased hath been accustomed to be vexed frequently with diseases coming of fulnesse as a continent fever inflammation for all inflammation cometh by afflux of blood Cacochimy or ill juice is three fold Cholerick Antecede●● signes of ch●ler Melancholick and Flegmatick Ill juice proceeding of Choler ariseth from such antecedent causes as heap up plenty of choler Such are A temper hot and dry for in men of hot and dry tempers much Choler is ingendred because the cholerick humor is agreeable to their complexion The age constant and flourishing such as endures from the 25 yeare to the thirtieth for yellow choler exceeds in the consisting age because the natural heat is much more dry and intense then it was before a great part of the first inbred humor wherewith it was overwhelmed as it were being consumed The summer season for in summer Choler is most abounding because bloud by the incompassing ayre is rendred more hot and dry The dry constitution of the time for drinesse effects a bilious quality in the humors A region hot and dry but chiefly a diet foregoing hot and dry Likewise exercises labour anger cares watching abstinences and wants heap up much Choler as also voluntary evacuation of choler suppressed or such as was accustomed to be avoided by art intermitted by vomit the belly Urine or sweats The consequent signes of choler The consequent signes of choler immoderately exceeding in the body are The colour of the face eyes and whole body pale yellow or citrin colour approaching to that of the yellow Jaundice Or Black for if the temperament do much exceed in heat the colour appears black The habit of body dry lean and slender for slender or spare men for the most part are cholerick Also haiery bodies for the temper hot and dry is very hairy The hair yellow for yellow hair is the dreggy excrement of yellow Choler Much more also the haire that is black for the haire becomes black when the vapour being burnt by the force of heat the excrement is changed into an exact smuttiness But yellow when as it is lesse burnt The largeness of the veins being distended by the force of heat for they who have large veins are of a hotter nature but contrarily they are colder whos 's veins are smaller and stricter For it is the work of heat to dilate and as it were puffe them up A heat to the touch smart and biting Swiftness to anger ptopension to wrath and revenge promptnesse of mind and cheerfulness The senses are quick sharp and nimble the wit sharp and industrious For sharpness of wit and industry proceed from the billious humor Sleep little and light and with much tossings and tumblings unquiet Watchings almost continuall for immoderate watchings proceed either from the distemper of the braine alone or from abundance of Cholerick humour Dreams full of Warr fury and fire The pulses vehement swift frequent and hard Bitterness of taste inappetency vehement and unsatiable thirst gnawings in the mouth of the stomach and from thence falling sickness Convulsions faintings through paine of the mouth of the stomach Vomiting and dejection by stoole cholerick The belly daily bound
