participate_v something_o of_o the_o temperate_a heat_n and_o a_o sufficient_a moisture_n to_o nourish_v the_o heat_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a of_o all_o the_o complexion_n to_o conduce_v to_o

melancholy_a be_v earthy_a shorten_v the_o life_n by_o its_o cold_a disposition_n and_o dryness_n which_o be_v contrary_a quality_n to_o heat_n and_o moisture_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o marvel_v if_o they_o shorten_v the_o life_n where_o they_o abound_v in_o any_o body_n nevertheless_o if_o choler_n be_v mingle_v with_o phlegm_n and_o that_o it_o do_v surmount_v proportionable_o the_o

the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v limit_v beyond_o which_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o pass_v we_o must_v note_v that_o although_o the_o complexion_n and_o natural_a perfection_n of_o a_o man_n may_v
