be_v the_o quality_n of_o cacao_n and_o the_o other_o ingredient_n of_o this_o confection_n where_o i_o shall_v treat_v of_o the_o receipt_n set_v down_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a author_n of_o

which_o be_v put_v into_o it_o in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o manner_n of_o compound_v and_o how_o many_o way_n they_o use_v to_o drink_v it_o in_o the_o indies_n in_o the_o four_o and_o last_o place_n i_o shall_v treat_v of_o the_o quantity_n and_o how_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v at_o what_o time_n and_o by_o what_o person_n the_o first_o point_n concerning_o the_o first_o point_n i_o say_v that_o chocolate_n be_v a_o name_n of_o the_o indian_n which_o in_o our_o vulgar_a castilian_a we_o may_v call_v a_o certain_a confection_n in_o which_o among_o other_o ingredient_n the_o principal_a basis_n and_o foundation_n be_v the_o cacao_n of_o who_o nature_n and_o quality_n it_o be_v necessary_a first_o to_o treat_v and_o therefore_o i_o say_v according_a to_o the_o common_a receive_a opinion_n that_o it_o be_v cold_a and_o dry_a à_fw-la praedominio_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o every_o simple_a contain_v in_o it_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o four_o element_n in_o the_o action_n and_o reaction_n which_o it_o have_v in_o it_o yet_o there_o result_v another_o distinct_a quality_n which_o we_o call_v complexion_n this_o quality_n or_o complexion_n which_o arise_v of_o this_o mixture_n be_v not_o always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o neither_o have_v it_o the_o effect_n in_o all_o the_o mixture_n but_o they_o may_v be_v vary_v nine_o way_n four_o simple_a from_o whence_o one_o only_a quality_n do_v abound_v and_o four_o compound_v from_o whence_o two_o symbolise_v quality_n be_v predominant_a and_o one_o other_o which_o we_o call_v ad_fw-la pondus_fw-la which_o be_v of_o all_o these_o foresaid_a quality_n which_o be_v in_o aequilibrio_fw-la that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o equal_a measure_n and_o degree_n of_o all_o these_o the_o complexion_n of_o cacao_n be_v compose_v since_o there_o arise_v two_o quality_n which_o be_v cold_a and_o dry_a and_o in_o the_o substance_n that_o rule_v they_o have_v it_o restringent_a and_o obstructive_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o element_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mix_v and_o not_o a_o simple_a element_n it_o must_v needs_o have_v part_n correspondent_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o element_n and_o particular_o it_o partake_v and_o that_o not_o a_o little_a of_o those_o which_o correspond_v with_o the_o element_n of_o air_n that_o be_v
