the_o matter_n which_o be_v bear_v and_o rise_v or_o spring_v off_o and_o with_o it_o be_v renew_v and_o restore_v from_o thence_o then_o may_v it_o be_v collect_v that_o restauration_n and_o

●ne_a whereof_o proceed_v from_o coldness_n and_o moisture_n which_o be_v bear_v and_o retain_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o have_v no_o peculiar_a place_n nor_o beginning_n from_o whence_o it_o

even_o this_o also_o be_v so_o in_o the_o body_n and_o have_v no_o peculiar_a abide_n or_o original_a and_o it_o likewise_o cause_v or_o make_v moisture_n the_o three_o be_v cold_a and_o dry_a and_o its_o way_n of_o birth_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o other_o the_o four_o be_v hot_a and_o moist_a and_o do_v proceed_v even_o as_o do_v the_o rest_n here_o you_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o it_o happen_v that_o all_o those_o four_o humour_n be_v not_o always_o in_o all_o body_n but_o sometime_o one_o of_o they_o only_o sometime_o two_o sometime_o three_o and_o otherwhile_o four_o this_o also_o be_v to_o be_v heed_v as_o concern_v they_o that_o they_o be_v consume_v and_o expel_v in_o the_o renovation_n and_o restauration_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o the_o nature_n and_o life_n of_o man_n can_v very_o well_o persist_v and_o abide_v without_o they_o and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o need_v they_o for_o they_o be_v only_a superfluity_n like_v as_o the_o fece_n be_v in_o wine_n or_o

be_v not_o to_o be_v renovate_v and_o restore_v because_o they_o spring_v not_o from_o any_o either_o great_a or_o lesser_a member_n nor_o be_v they_o in_o the_o blood_n nor_o in_o the_o flesh_n or_o such_o like_a neither_o be_v it_o true_a that_o the_o sanguinc_fw-la complexion_n proceed_v from_o the_o liver_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o very_a much-abounding_a quantity_n of_o blood_n or_o that_o melancholy_a proceed_v from_o the_o spl●●n_n or_o choler_n from_o the_o gall_n and_o phlegm_n from_o the_o brain_n and_o such_o like_a for_o very_o the_o aforesaid_a member_n do_v not_o give_v any_o man_n his_o complexion_n but_o the_o complexion_n happen_v to_o a_o man_n even_o in_o his_o nativity_n and_o abide_v even_o till_o his_o death_n but_o we_o undertake_v not_o to_o dispute_v hereof_o in_o this_o place_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o will_v be_v too_o too_o wide_a from_o our_o text_n of_o renovation_n and_o restauration_n whereas_o therefore_o none_o of_o the_o four_o complexion_n have_v any_o place_n or_o original_n in_o the_o say_a body_n but_o they_o exist_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o in_o the_o radical_a humidity_n therefore_o the_o complexion_n can_v be_v renovate_v not_o restore_v but_o where_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v clarify_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o be_v also_o clarify_v moreover_o we_o also_o signify_v this_o by_o our_o text_n viz._n that_o the_o division_n and_o distinction_n of_o complexion_n according_a to_o age_n country_n and_o regiment_n be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v cure_v because_o there_o be_v no_o complexion_n imprint_v in_o the_o body_n from_o these_o three_o it_o may_v happen_v indeed_o that_o old_a age_n may_v enforce_v a_o sadness_n in_o body_n but_o yet_o that_o it_o no_o complexion_n so_o likewise_o the_o country_n or_o region_n may_v induce_v phlegm_n but_o yet_o that_o complexion_n be_v not_o therefore_o phlegmatic_a so_o choler_n may_v cause_v one_o to_o have_v a_o yellow_a colour_n but_o these_o thing_n have_v no_o place_n of_o discuss_v here_o for_o they_o be_v declare_v in_o our_o treat_v of_o the_o construction_n or_o frame_v of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o peculiar_a understanding_n requisite_a for_o division_n or_o distinction_n of_o this_o sort_n wherein_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o they_o be_v not_o only_a humour_n but_o also_o sometime_o mineral_n sometime_o corruption_n all_o which_o be_v superfluity_n against_o nature_n and_o strength_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o principal_a member_n for_o these_o resist_v renovation_n and_o restauration_n thus_o viz_o these_o perceive_v not_o those_o quality_n of_o renew_v etc._n etc._n nor_o receive_v they_o they_o unto_o themselves_o but_o every_o thing_n that_o pass_v through_o they_o and_o be_v prepare_v
