all_o man_n be_v subject_a once_o to_o die_v and_o in_o that_o all_o man_n be_v alike_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o term_n of_o life_n for_o one_o live_v long_a and_o another_o a_o short_a time_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o job_n the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n be_v measure_v and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o man_n to_o pass_v the_o bound_n which_o god_n have_v set_v and_o determine_v for_o our_o life_n thing_n stand_v so_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o understand_v that_o which_o cause_v in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n why_o one_o live_v long_a than_o another_o and_o what_o complexion_n make_v best_a for_o a_o long_a life_n and_o last_o how_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o our_o day_n be_v number_v and_o determine_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o go_v beyond_o that_o which_o be_v obscure_a and_o difficult_a point_n and_o understand_v but_o of_o few_o people_n to_o understand_v therefore_o that_o which_o concern_v the_o length_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v presuppose_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o humane_a body_n consist_v in_o the_o accord_n and_o harmony_n of_o the_o four_o element_n or_o elementary_a quality_n whereof_o it_o be_v compose_v that_o be_v to_o say_v hot_a cold_a moist_a and_o dry_a and_o express_o in_o the_o proportionable_a harmony_n of_o heat_n and_o moisture_n which_o aristotle_n well_o demonstrate_v who_o make_v only_o mention_v of_o the_o agreement_n of_o these_o two_o quality_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o man_n so_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o man_n fail_v not_o so_o long_o as_o he_o have_v natural_a heat_n for_o this_o heat_n be_v the_o principal_a instrument_n that_o maintain_v the_o vegetative_a spirit_n and_o indeed_o the_o life_n of_o man_n consist_v in_o no_o other_o thing_n than_o in_o maintain_v the_o instrument_n and_o organ_n of_o the_o soul_n among_o which_o natural_a heat_n hold_v by_o good_a right_n the_o first_o rank_n for_o this_o heat_n be_v so_o necessary_a for_o th●_n maintenance_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n that_o it_o fail_v the_o soul_n be_v constrain_v to_o forsake_v the_o body_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o life_n of_o that_o man_n and_o because_o this_o natural_a heat_n hold_v of_o fire_n which_o consume_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n all_o that_o it_o meet_v withal_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o oppose_v it_o by_o a_o other_o contrary_a quality_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o inferior_a body_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n place_v the_o radical_a or_o natural_a moisture_n with_o this_o natural_a heat_n to_o nourish_v and_o maintain_v it_o even_o as_o the_o fire_n be_v nourish_v and_o maintain_v with_o oil_n and_o because_o this_o radical_a moisture_n consume_v and_o diminish_v daily_a to_o maintain_v the_o same_o all_o live_a creature_n must_v drink_v and_o eat_v that_o so_o by_o that_o mean_n the_o moisture_n cause_v by_o that_o digestion_n may_v supply_v the_o default_n of_o nature_n but_o see_v that_o as_o aristotle_n say_v the_o moisture_n cause_v of_o that_o digestion_n be_v never_o so_o perfect_a as_o the_o radical_a and_o natural_a although_o it_o serve_v much_o to_o maintain_v it_o of_o necessity_n this_o radical_a moisture_n diminish_v daily_a for_o the_o accidental_a moisture_n cause_v by_o digestion_n be_v never_o so_o perfect_a as_o the_o radical_a which_o be_v vanish_v and_o by_o this_o mean_n vanish_v total_o the_o natural_a heat_n be_v lose_v and_o the_o body_n finish_v its_o end_n for_o if_o the_o radical_a moisture_n cause_v of_o this_o digestion_n be_v as_o perfect_a as_o the_o natural_a moisture_n which_o be_v vanish_v man_n will_v live_v endless_o as_o divine_n say_v who_o maintain_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o god_n place_v in_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n consist_v principal_o in_o this_o that_o eat_v of_o its_o fruit_n it_o restore_v the_o radical_a moisture_n which_o will_v have_v be_v lose_v and_o vanish_v from_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o this_o tree_n be_v prohibit_v to_o adam_n and_o eve_n after_o they_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o paradise_n but_o if_o our_o first_o parent_n have_v continue_v in_o their_o original_a righteousness_n they_o and_o their_o posterity_n eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o tree_n will_v have_v live_v eternal_o in_o flourish_a youth_n without_o taste_v corruption_n or_o old_a age_n until_o god_n have_v glorify_v their_o body_n without_o pass_v through_o the_o gate_n of_o death_n but_o see_v that_o humane_a race_n lose_v this_o prerogative_n by_o sin_n which_o have_v bring_v in_o death_n into_o the_o world_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o this_o offence_n be_v stamp_v upon_o we_o now_o to_o return_v to_o our_o discourse_n i_o say_v the_o life_n last_v long_a or_o short_a according_a as_o heat_n and_o radical_a moisture_n be_v concordant_a and_o proportionable_a for_o those_o in_o who_o these_o quality_n meet_v most_o temper_v and_o best_a proportion_v live_v long_a and_o not_o those_o in_o who_o the_o say_a quality_n most_o abound_v from_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o we_o see_v many_o small_a creature_n who_o have_v but_o little_a heat_n and_o moisture_n live_v long_o than_o those_o that_o be_v great_a and_o abound_v more_o in_o the_o say_a quality_n which_o happen_v as_o well_o to_o tree_n as_o man_n so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v long_a life_n consist_v in_o the_o temperature_n and_o just_a proportion_n of_o heat_n and_o moisture_n which_o fail_v the_o company_n that_o be_v to_o say_v life_n be_v dissolve_v and_o lose_v for_o when_o heat_n surpass_v moisture_n it_o consume_v in_o a_o short_a time_n the_o whole_a body_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o choleric_a man_n on_o the_o contrary_a when_o by_o excessive_a moisture_n the_o heat_n be_v extinguish_v as_o we_o see_v in_o phlegmatic_a person_n the_o like_a happen_v by_o this_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o understand_v that_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o much_o moisture_n as_o heat_n but_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o the_o proportion_n

coldness_n mingle_v to_o moderate_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o radical_a fire_n that_o it_o may_v not_o whole_o consume_v the_o natural_a moisture_n and_o that_o drought_n be_v also_o requisite_a to_o

among_o these_o four_o quality_n the_o hot_a and_o the_o moist_a be_v hold_v for_o the_o principal_n as_o be_v vital_a complexion_n and_o cause_v life_n as_o for_o the_o cold_a and_o the_o dry_a although_o they_o serve_v great_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o hold_v these_o two_o quality_n to_o be_v the_o entrance_n to_o and_o beginning_n of_o death_n for_o

of_o which_o be_v the_o best_a complexion_n to_o show_v long_a life_n in_o the_o first_o place_n then_o we_o must_v note_v that_o of_o the_o four_o complexion_n in_o man_n to_o wit_n choleric_a
