Intellective The Intellective resides in the Brain within the Pia mater is governed generally by Mercury It is divided into Imagination Judgment and Memory Imagination is seated in the fore-part of the Brain it is hot and dry in quality quick active alwayes working it receives vapors from the Heart and coyns them into Thoughts it never sleeps but alwayes is working both when the man is sleeping and waking only when Judgment is awake it regulates the Imagination which runs at random when Judgment is asleep and forms any Thought according to the nature of the vapor sent up to it Mercury is out of question the disposer of it A man may easily perceive his Judgment asleep before himself many times and then he shall perceive his Thoughts run at random Judgment alwayes sleeps when men doth Imagination never sleeps Memory somtimes sleeps when men sleeps and sometimes it doth not so then when Memory is awake and the man aasleep then Memory remembers what Apprehension coyns and that is a Dream The Thoughts would have been the same if Memory had not been awake to remember it These Thoughts are commonly I mean in sleep when they are purely natural framed according to the nature of the Humor called Complexion which is predominate in the Body and if the Humor be peccant it is alwayes so So that it is one of the surest rules to know a mans own Complexion by his Dreams I mean a man void of Distractions or deep Studies this most assuredly shews Mercury to dispose the Imagination as also because it is mutable applying it self to any object as Mercury's nature is to do for then the Imagination will follow its old bend for if a man be bent upon a business his Apprehension will work as much when he is asleep and find out as many truths by study as when the man is awake and perhaps more too because then it is not impedited by ocular objects For the notion of the predominate Complexion by the dreams I have read some most excellent Verses made by Thomas May Esq which I shall here insert by which if the Complexion be not altered much in quantity nor quallity you may know by your most usual Dreams not only your own Complexion but also what every Complexion is most prone and inclinable to I suppose and really beleeve That many Men and Women may know strange truths by their Dreams if their Nativities be accordingly either by Nature or perhaps if the business be rectified by Art of which I may happen to write somthing hereafter They are these Sanguine Complexion There altogether fly in Companies Of different Colors Shapes and Qualities Bright sanguine Dreams that seem to cheer the night With beautious Shapes and rosy wings as bright As in the Morning or those Flowers that grace In midst of Spring the painted Flora's face Within the Temple merrily do sport To whom the little Cupids oft resort The little Cupids from
