of_o the_o body_n the_o live_a creature_n will_v always_o have_v a_o appetite_n and_o never_o leave_v eat_v therefore_o god_n have_v so_o frame_v those_o creature_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o

thereby_o as_o they_o ought_v how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o in_o steed_n of_o amendment_n wax_v worse_a through_o the_o chasticement_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n our_o usual_a

when_o they_o leave_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o change_v their_o natural_a property_n for_o that_o come_v unto_o they_o either_o because_o their_o proper_a substance_n degenerate_v without_o

which_o be_v proper_o so_o call_v amongst_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n be_v more_o convenient_a apt_a and_o necessary_a for_o the_o life_n thereof_o then_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n as_o have_v be_v declare_v unto_o we_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o corruption_n thereof_o be_v more_o dangerous_a then_o of_o any_o other_o humour_n now_o it_o degenerate_v from_o his_o own_o substance_n when_o

from_o hence_o come_v spittle_n snattines_n of_o the_o nose_n catherre_v &_o distillation_n and_o oftentimes_o vomit_v when_o it_o be_v gross_a &_o thick_a beside_o this_o phlegmatic_a humour_n

aristotle_n he_o call_v the_o soul_n by_o a_o new_a greek_a name_n that_o signify_v asmuch_o as_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o say_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o five_o nature_n and_o
