know_v be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o imagination_n as_o to_o write_v and_o return_v to_o read_v it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o scrivener_n and_o not_o of_o the_o paper_n whereby_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o memory_n remain_v a_o power_n passive_a and_o not_o active_a even_o as_o the_o blue_a and_o the_o white_a of_o the_o paper_n be_v none_o other_o than_o a_o commodity_n whereby_o to_o write_v to_o the_o four_o doubt_n may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o make_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n as_o touch_v the_o wit_n whether_o the_o flesh_n be_v hard_a or_o tender_a if_o the_o brain_n partake_v not_o also_o the_o same_o quality_n the_o which_o we_o see_v many_o time_n have_v a_o distinct_a temperature_n from_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o when_o they_o concur_v in_o oneself_o tenderness_n it_o be_v a_o humour_n evil_a token_n for_o the_o understanding_n and_o no_o less_o for_o the_o imagination_n and_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o flesh_n of_o woman_n and_o child_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o tenderness_n it_o excee_n death_n that_o of_o man_n and_o this_o notwithstanding_o common_o man_n have_v a_o better_a wit_n than_o woman_n and_o the_o natural_a reason_n hereof_o be_v for_o that_o the_o humour_n which_o make_v the_o flesh_n tender_a be_v phlegm_n and_o blood_n because_o they_o be_v both_o moist_a as_o we_o have_v above_o specify_v and_o of_o they_o galen_n say_v that_o they_o make_v man_n simple_a &_o dullard_n and_o hard_a contrariwise_o the_o humour_n which_o harden_v the_o flesh_n be_v choler_n and_o melancholy_n and_o 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 or_o hardness_n of_o their_o flesh_n for_o if_o it_o be_v hard_a &_o rough_a it_o give_v token_n either_o of_o a_o good_a understanding_n or_o a_o good_a imagination_n and_o if_o smooth_a and_o supple_a of_o the_o contrary_a namely_o of_o good_a memory_n and_o small_a understanding_n and_o less_o imagination_n and_o to_o understand_v whether_o the_o brain_n have_v correspondence_n it_o behoove_v to_o consider_v the_o hair_n which_o be_v big_a black_a rough_a and_o thick_a yield_v token_n of_o a_o good_a imagination_n or_o a_o good_a understanding_n and_o if_o soft_a and_o smooth_a they_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o much_o memory_n and_o nothing_o else_o but_o who_o so_o will_v distinguish_v and_o know_v whether_o the_o same_o be_v understanding_n or_o imagination_n when_o the_o hair_n be_v of_o this_o sort_n it_o must_v be_v consider_v of_o what_o form_n the_o child_n be_v in_o the_o act_n of_o laughter_n for_o this_o passion_n discover_v much_o of_o what_o quality_n he_o be_v in_o the_o imagination_n what_o the_o reason_n and_o cause_n of_o laughter_n shall_v be_v many_o philosopher_n have_v labour_v to_o conceive_v and_o none_o of_o they_o have_v deliver_v aught_o that_o may_v well_o be_v understand_v but_o all_o agree_v that_o the_o blood_n be_v a_o humour_n which_o provoke_v a_o man_n to_o laugh_v albeit_o none_o express_v with_o what_o quality_n this_o humour_n be_v endue_v more_o than_o the_o rest_n why_o it_o shall_v make_v a_o man_n addict_v to_o laughter_n the_o folly_n which_o be_v commit_v with_o laugh_v be_v less_o dangerous_a but_o those_o which_o be_v do_v with_o labour_n be_v more_o perilous_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o the_o disease_a become_v giddy_a and_o dote_a do_v laugh_v they_o rest_v in_o more_o safety_n than_o if_o they_o be_v in_o toil_n and_o anguish_n for_o the_o former_a come_v of_o blood_n which_o be_v a_o most_o mild_a humour_n and_o the_o second_o of_o melancholy_n but_o we_o ground_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n whereof_o we_o entreat_v shall_v easy_o understand_v all_o that_o which_o in_o this_o case_n may_v be_v desire_v to_o be_v know_v the_o cause_n of_o laughter_n in_o my_o judgement_n be_v nought_o else_o but_o a_o approve_v which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o imagination_n see_v or_o hear_v somewhat_o do_v or_o say_v which_o accord_v very_o well_o and_o this_o power_n remain_v in_o the_o brain_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 witty_a say_n by_o bow_v down_o of_o the_o head_n when_o then_o the_o imagination_n be_v very_o good_a it_o content_v not_o itself_o with_o every_o speech_n but_o only_o with_o those_o which_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 merriment_n nor_o at_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v other_o to_o utter_v for_o they_o have_v a_o imagination_n so_o delicate_a that_o not_o even_o their_o own_o pleasantry_n can_v yield_v that_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 laugher_n moisture_n hold_v this_o property_n that_o because_o the_o same_o be_v tender_a and_o gentle_a it_o abate_v the_o force_n of_o heat_n and_o make_v that_o it_o burn_v not_o overmuch_o for_o 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 and_o many_o other_o who_o myself_o have_v see_v and_o note_v then_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o laughter_n we_o shall_v know_v if_o that_o which_o man_n or_o boy_n have_v of_o flesh_n hard_a and_o tough_a and_o of_o hair_n black_a thick_a hard_a and_o rough_a betoken_v either_o the_o imagination_n or_o the_o understanding_n in_o sort_n that_o aristotle_n in_o this_o doctrine_n be_v somewhat_o out_o of_o the_o way_n to_o the_o five_o argument_n we_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o moisture_n in_o the_o brain_n one_o which_o grow_v of_o the_o air_n when_o this_o element_n predominate_v in_o the_o mixture_n and_o another_o of_o the_o water_n with_o which_o the_o other_o element_n be_v amass_v if_o the_o brain_n be_v tender_a by_o the_o first_o moisture_n the_o memory_n shall_v be_v very_o good_a easy_a to_o receive_v and_o mighty_a to_o retain_v the_o figure_n for_o a_o long_a time_n for_o the_o moisture_n of_o the_o air_n be_v very_o supple_a and_o full_a of_o fatness_n on_o which_o the_o shape_n be_v tack_v with_o sure_a holdfast_n as_o we_o see_v in_o picture_n which_o be_v lymned_a in_o oil_n who_o be_v set_v against_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o water_n receive_v thereby_o no_o damage_n at_o all_o and_o if_o we_o cast_v oil_n upon_o any_o writing_n it_o will_v never_o be_v wipe_v out_o but_o mar_v the_o same_o

also_o to_o eat_v to_o drink_v and_o to_o sleep_v and_o if_o a_o will_v take_v he_o to_o send_v forth_o any_o excrement_n he_o dare_v not_o say_v it_o or_o do_v it_o but_o with_o cumber_v &_o shamefastness_n and_o so_o get_v he_o to_o some_o secret_a place_n out_o of_o sight_n yea_o we_o find_v man_n so_o shamefast_a as_o though_o they_o have_v a_o great_a will_n to_o make_v water_n yet_o can_v do_v it_o if_o any_o look_n upon_o they_o whereas_o if_o we_o leave_v they_o alone_o straightway_n the_o urine_n take_v his_o issue_n and_o these_o be_v the_o appetite_n to_o send_v forth_o the_o superfluous_a thing_n of_o the_o body_n which_o if_o they_o be_v not_o effect_v man_n shall_v die_v and_o that_o much_o soon_o than_o with_o forbear_v meat_n or_o drink_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o say_v hypocrates_n who_o speak_v or_o actuate_v this_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o another_o he_o be_v not_o master_n of_o his_o sound_a judgement_n galen_n affirm_v that_o the_o seed_n hold_v the_o semblable_a proportion_n with_o the_o seed-vessel_n as_o the_o urine_n do_v with_o the_o bladder_n for_o as_o much_o urine_n annoy_v the_o bladder_n so_o much_o seed_n endammage_v the_o seed_n vessel_n and_o the_o opinion_n which_o aristotle_n hold_v in_o deny_v that_o man_n and_o woman_n incur_v no_o infirmity_n or_o death_n by_o retain_v of_o seed_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o physician_n and_o especial_o of_o galen_n who_o say_v and_o avouch_v that_o many_o woman_n remain_v widow_n in_o their_o youth_n have_v therethrough_a lose_v their_o sense_n motion_n

this_o problem_n can_v be_v yield_v in_o natural_a philosophy_n because_o it_o be_v not_o marshal_v under_o her_o jurisdiction_n for_o it_o behoove_v to_o pass_v to_o a_o high_a namely_o metaphysic_n wherein_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n be_v the_o low_a of_o all_o the_o intelligence_n and_o for_o that_o it_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o general_a nature_n with_o the_o
