and Wind and great ones either in the Wind or Sun or by the Fire Lay them in a dry place towards the South and they will keep long provided that neither Sun nor Moisture do injure them Herbs Gather all manner of Herbs when they do most ●lourish and dry them in the Shade except they be very moist and apt to putrifie they last for the most part a whole year sixteenth Dec●mb the fourteenth and twenty sixth And these days we hold to be the very best unless dangerous and sudden Sickness do cause us to alter the same for in Cases of Necessity no days are to be regarded or observed More Observations of Blood-letting you may finde hereafter Of the four Humors Blood Choler Phlegm and Melancholy Four Humors also there are which be as it were four Children to the four Elements already spoken of And these are Blood Phlegm Choler and Melancholy without which a natural Body cannot be made for Blood naturally if it be perfect is hot and moist but taketh most from Heat and therefore is subordinate to Air Phlegm is cold and moist but the Principality thereof is Coldness and therefore hath reference to Water Choler is hot and dry but his chiefest Nature is Heat and therefore is Governed by the Element of Fire Melancholy is cold and dry but his chiefest condition is Driness and therefore subjects it self to the Element of Earth Now the Fountain of Blood is the Liver which dispersing it self by the help of the Veins into all the parts of the Body nourisheth and preserveth the same Phlegm preoccupateth the Brain being a cold and spungy substance and the Seat of the sensible Soul Choler inhabiteth the Liver which being hot and dry maketh a pleasing Harmony with the Blood Melancholy resideth in the Spleen which is the Receptacle and discharge of the Excrements of the Liver from whence we may Collect that it hath its proper use and end As for demonstration Blood principally nourisheth the Body Phlegm occasioneth Motion of the Joynts and Members Choler exciteth and provoketh the Belly to avoid its Excrements And lastly Melancholy disposeth the Body to an Appetite Whereupon all the Learned Philosophers do with one unanimous Assent agree in this That in every Natural Body there are four Principal Instrumental Members from which all the Parts of an Organi●al Body are said to be Framed and these are the Brain the Heart the Liver and the Stones or Gignitors and each one of these do Perform its true Function to all the particular Members of the Body for the Sinews do receive their Sustentation from the Brain and these are called Animal spirits the Art●ries from the Heart which are Vital spirits the Veins from the Liver which are Natural Parts and the Seed-Vessels from the Stones or Gignitors as the Place of Generation Of a Horses Complexion which is the most necessary Faces that a Farrier can judge of his Infirmities To speak of the Complexions of a Horse in a particular manner which is one of the most necessary Faces that a Farrier can behold both for the judging of Horses Infirmities and also for the true Compounding of his Medicines for every disease And therefore by the Colour of the Horse you are to judge his Complexion For look which of the Elements is most Predominate in him from that Element you may draw his Complexion as thus If he participate more of the Fire then of any of the other Elements then we hold him to be a Cholerick Horse and his Colour is either a bright Sorrel a Coal black without any white or an Iron Grey unchangeable that is such a Crey as neither will ever turn a Daple-Grey a White or a Flea-bitten and these Horses are of Nature light hot fiery and seldom of any great strength These Horses are most subject to Pestilent Feavers Yellows and Inflammation of the Liver Therefore every Farrier should be careful in his Composing of any Medicine for such a Horse to purge Choler yet very moderately and not with any extraordinary strength in the Potion or Drench because the Horse being in his best strength not reputed strong should you apply any violent thing to him that little strength being abated there were great danger in confounding the whole Body If the Horse participate more of the Air then of the other Elements then is he of a Sanguine Complexion and his Colour is either a bright Bay or a dark Bay which hath neither scouling Countenance Myly Mouth no● white Flank Or a white Flea bitten White Lyard like Silver or black with a white Star white rash or white Foot These Horses are of Nature pleasant nimble free and of good strength The Disease to them most incident is Consumption of the Liver Leprosie Glanders or any disease that is infectious They are of a good strong Constitution and may endure strength in their Medicines especially any thing that cooleth the Blood If the Horse participate more of the Water then of the other Elements then is he of a Phlegmatick Complexion and his Colour is either Milk white a yellow dun Kite glewed or a Pyde-ball in whom there is an equal Mixture of Colours Otherwise if the Bay the Black or the Dun exceed the White he is said to be of that Complexion of which the Colour is greatest These Horses are of Nature slow and apt to lose Flesh The Diseases which are most incident unto them are Colds Head-ach Rheums Staggers and such like They are able to endure the reasonable strength of any Medicine because of the abundance of Phlegm which is in them sufficeth both Nature and the Potion to work upon All cold Simples are to them exceeding hurtful so are also they which are violently hot in the third degree The first because it bindeth too soon The latter because it disperses too suddenly therefore Simples of a moderate Mean are best If the Horse participate of the Earth more then of the other Elements then is he of a Melancholy Complexion And his Colour is a Mouse-dun Russet Chesnut Ashie Grey dark Bay having long white Hai● like Goats Hair growing on his Legs These Horses are of Nature heavy and faint-hearted The Diseases to them most incident are Inflammations in the Spleen Frenzie Dropsey and such like They are commonly of better strength then they appear by their Actions and are able to endure the strength of any reasonable Medicine All cicatrizing and dry Simples are hurtful unto them the cold and moist are the most profitable Having thus shewed you these four Complexions Cholerick Sanguine Phlegmatick and Melancholy together with their qualities and strengths You shall understand now that amongst Farriers there is another Complexion or fifth Constitution which is called the Composition or Mixture of Complexions that is when a Horse doth participate of all the four Elements equally and in due proportion and this is the best Complexion and the Horse that is of this Complexion is ever one of these Colours that is
