be_v void_a of_o itself_o for_o as_o to_o the_o proposition_n that_o because_o the_o brain_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a therefore_o thing_n that_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a be_v best_a for_o they_o it_o be_v a_o inept_v consequence_n for_o man_n be_v compound_v of_o the_o four_o complexion_n who_o father_n be_v the_o four_o element_n although_o there_o be_v a_o mixture_n of_o they_o all_o in_o all_o

body_n the_o application_n then_o of_o a_o thing_n of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n to_o any_o of_o these_o part_n be_v to_o interrupt_v they_o of_o their_o due_a function_n and_o by_o consequence_n hurtful_a to_o the_o health_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n as_o if_o a_o man_n because_o the_o liver_n be_v hot_a as_o the_o fountain_n of_o blood_n and_o as_o it_o be_v and_o oven_n to_o the_o stomach_n will_v therefore_o apply_v and_o wear_v close_o upon_o his_o liver_n and_o stomach_n a_o cake_n of_o lead_n he_o may_v within_o a_o very_a short_a time_n i_o hope_v be_v sustain_v very_o good_a cheap_a at_o a_o ordinary_a beside_o the_o clear_n of_o his_o conscience_n from_o that_o deadly_a sin_n of_o gluttony_n and_o as_o if_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o vital_a spirit_n and_o in_o perpetual_a motion_n a_o man_n will_v therefore_o lay_v a_o heavy_a pound_n stone_n on_o his_o breast_n for_o stay_v and_o hold_v down_o that_o wanton_a palpitation_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o his_o breast_n will_v be_v more_o bruise_v with_o the_o weight_n thereof_o than_o the_o heart_n will_v be_v comfort_v with_o such_o a_o disagreeable_a &_o contrarious_a cure_n and_o even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o brain_n for_o if_o a_o man_n because_o the_o brain_n be_v cold_a and_o humid_a will_v therefore_o use_v inward_o by_o smell_n or_o outward_o by_o application_n thing_n of_o hot_a and_o dry_a qualite_n all_o the_o gain_n that_o he_o can_v make_v thereof_o will_v only_o be_v to_o put_v himself_o in_o a_o great_a forwardness_n for_o run_v mad_a by_o overwatch_v himself_o the_o

any_o of_o these_o or_o any_o part_n of_o our_o body_n grow_v to_o be_v distemper_v and_o to_o tend_v to_o a_o extremity_n beyond_o the_o compass_n of_o nature_n temperate_a mixture_n that_o in_o

sense_n do_v ever_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o infallible_a witness_n whether_o that_o odour_n which_o we_o smell_v be_v healthful_a or_o hurtful_a to_o the_o brain_n except_o when_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o sense_n itself_o be_v corrupt_v and_o abuse_v through_o some_o infirmity_n and_o distemper_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o that_o the_o suffumigation_n thereof_o can_v have_v a_o dry_a
