and_o the_o exercise_n that_o they_o do_v chief_o use_v as_o touch_v the_o first_o cause_n the_o first_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o situation_n and_o due_a proportion_n of_o the_o interior_a sense_n how_o much_o that_o do_v avail_v to_o the_o attain_n of_o consideration_n by_o this_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o as_o the_o sense_n have_v their_o several_a seat_n in_o the_o brain_n so_o do_v

sense_n three_o 2._o imaginative_a sense_n although_o aristotle_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o this_o imaginative_a sense_n yet_o i_o think_v good_a herein_o to_o follow_v other_o philosopher_n who_o do_v make_v this_o distinct_a from_o the_o other_o three_o which_o also_o be_v place_v in_o the_o forepart_n of_o the_o brain_n next_o unto_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o the_o office_n thereof_o be_v to_o contain_v &_o retain_v the_o form_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o exterior_a sense_n do_v present_a unto_o the_o common_a sense_n for_o that_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o itself_o consist_v

more_o firm_o therefore_o if_o this_o sense_n have_v not_o also_o his_o right_a quality_n and_o condition_n the_o true_a object_n of_o thing_n sensible_a can_v be_v well_o conserve_v to_o be_v

the_o imaginative_a sense_n fantasy_n 3_o fantasy_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o the_o head_n as_o a_o cel_z to_o receive_v those_o figure_n from_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o imaginative_a as_o to_o take_v they_o again_o out_o of_o the_o memory_n be_v the_o store-house_n of_o the_o head_n it_o be_v compose_v of_o heat_n by_o which_o it_o be_v in_o much_o motion_n and_o into_o it_o do_v resort_v all_o the_o move_a spirit_n but_o if_o it_o do_v exceed_v a_o ordinary_a temperature_n of_o heat_n it_o make_v too_o much_o motion_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o leave_v no_o liberty_n to_o a_o settle_a consideration_n the_o last_o of_o the_o interior_a sense_n be_v the_o memory_n memory_n 4_o memory_n which_o be_v place_v in_o the_o hinder_a part_n of_o the_o head_n the_o cell_n and_o situation_n of_o this_o sense_n be_v more_o dry_a and_o somewhat_o hard_a than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o brain_n because_o as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o that_o dryness_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o retention_n so_o this_o sense_n be_v make_v to_o retain_v the_o shape_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o common_a sense_n unto_o the_o imaginative_a but_o also_o the_o memory_n must_v retain_v the_o shape_n of_o intention_n which_o the_o imaginative_a do_v present_a unto_o it_o so_o as_o it_o be_v true_o term_v the_o treasury_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o memory_n have_v not_o his_o just_a proportion_n of_o dryness_n neither_o exceed_v nor_o want_v much_o thereof_o than_o it_o can_v retain_v well_o and_o so_o the_o consideration_n which_o be_v not_o only_o a_o messenger_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o counsellor_n betwixt_o the_o memory_n &_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sense_n can_v receive_v his_o right_a course_n the_o second_o cause_n cause_n the_o second_o cause_n which_o we_o say_v first_o do_v much_o help_n or_o hinder_v our_o consideration_n be_v the_o constitution_n of_o the_o fowre_a complexion_n according_a to_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o four_o element_n in_o man_n body_n for_o the_o philosopher_n affirm_v that_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o mind_n follow_v the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v in_o the_o composition_n of_o the_o four_o complexion_n which_o receive_v and_o participate_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o four_o element_n as_o for_o example_n the_o sanguine_a complexion_n do_v participate_v with_o the_o element_n of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v by_o nature_n hot_a and_o moist_a these_o two_o quality_n in_o the_o sanguine_a complexion_n do_v work_v this_o operation_n that_o it_o cause_v a_o ready_a conceit_n but_o it_o do_v divert_v the_o mind_n from_o any_o deep_a consideration_n also_o the_o phlegmatic_a complexion_n consist_v of_o cold_a and_o moisture_n have_v this_o property_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o over_o much_o coldness_n it_o do_v dull_a the_o spirit_n whereby_o they_o can_v apt_o conceive_v and_o because_o of_o much_o moisture_n it_o can_v retain_v what_o be_v receive_v therefore_o it_o be_v unapt_a for_o consideration_n the_o choleric_a which_o do_v consist_v of_o heat_n and_o dryness_n

do_v not_o plant_v any_o firm_a leisure_n to_o consider_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o melancholic_a complexion_n that_o be_v make_v of_o cold_a and_o dryness_n which_o in_o their_o nature_n do_v make_v a_o better_a mixture_n of_o moderation_n do_v plant_v a_o firm_a leisure_n to_o consider_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o be_v fit_a for_o consideration_n beside_o this_o

there_o be_v many_o time_n the_o best_a temperature_n in_o the_o body_n and_o consequent_o the_o mind_n be_v more_o apt_a for_o consideration_n and_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v long_o preserve_v
