melancholy_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o heat_n and_o dryness_n which_o resolve_v and_o dissipate_v the_o animal_n spirit_n as_o a_o vapourous_a humidity_n hinder_v their_o effusion_n by_o the_o

likely_a to_o imprint_v heat_n on_o they_o then_o cold_a and_o this_o be_v further_a confirm_v by_o the_o air_n we_o breathe_v the_o reciprocation_n whereof_o cool_v our_o lung_n whereas_o it_o shall_v warm_v they_o if_o it_o be_v hot_a as_o the_o peripatetic_n will_v have_v it_o it_o happen_v therefore_o that_o the_o air_n for_o that_o reason_n call_v by_o some_o philosopher_n primum_fw-la
