of_o this_o art_n to_o observe_v the_o interior_a of_o all_o the_o countenance_n he_o show_v action_n indeed_o say_v the_o count_n facilitate_v knowledge_n but_o it_o be_v also_o true_a that_o we_o may_v find_v other_o mean_n if_o the_o science_n of_o complexion_n be_v infallible_a and_o evident_a in_o frequentation_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o make_v a_o

they_o you_o make_v i_o take_v notice_n say_v the_o philosopher_n of_o a_o certain_a form_n of_o try_v and_o know_v man_n which_o i_o find_v easy_a and_o as_o it_o be_v indubitable_a and_o it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o see_v a_o person_n of_o a_o cold_a and_o moist_a complexion_n we_o may_v judge_v that_o he_o have_v a_o good_a memory_n and_o that_o if_o he_o have_v never_o so_o little_a

for_o a_o able_a man_n and_o of_o this_o we_o have_v a_o example_n in_o herodotus_n upon_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o amazon_n who_o sex_n participate_v most_o of_o the_o cold_a and_o moist_a that_o

as_o their_o country_n whensoever_o their_o various_a expedition_n of_o war_n require_v it_o so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v that_o a_o man_n of_o that_o complexion_n may_v be_v a_o good_a positive_a

draw_v a_o infallible_a consequence_n that_o he_o have_v a_o strong_a imagination_n and_o that_o by_o his_o inclination_n he_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o eloquence_n poetry_n music_n and_o of_o all_o the_o art_n and_o science_n which_o consist_v in_o figure_n and_o correspondency_n in_o harmony_n and_o proportion_n provide_v that_o he_o have_v practise_v and_o apply_v himself_o to_o they_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o a_o man_n of_o a_o choleric_a and_o dry_a complexion_n and_o that_o the_o blood_n by_o a_o agreeable_a conjunction_n have_v a_o equal_a dominion_n between_o dry_a and_o

of_o the_o mind_n and_o function_n of_o the_o body_n but_o sir_n say_v the_o marquesse_n if_o spirit_n may_v be_v better_o know_v by_o their_o action_n then_o by_o the_o complexion_n because_o you_o have_v say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o inevitable_a mark_n of_o they_o and_o that_o you_o mean_v to_o draw_v the_o conclusion_n thereof_o from_o what_o they_o act_n what_o say_v you_o of_o a_o man_n

good_a engyneer_n as_o i_o have_v say_v answer_v the_o philosopher_n that_o by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o complexion_n we_o may_v discern_v spirit_n &_o so_o according_a to_o the_o drift_n of_o their_o inclination_n since_o thing_n be_v dependent_a and_o reflective_a upon_o one_o another_o we_o may_v know_v that_o a_o limner_n a_o poet_n a_o mathematician_n a_o astrologer_n a_o politician_n a_o captain_n or_o a_o orator_n have_v a_o difference_n of_o imagination_n very_o contrary_a to_o the_o understanding_n &_o memory_n that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v good_a grammarian_n good_a school-divines_a good_a logician_n good_a physician_n or_o good_a lawyer_n and_o that_o they_o who_o be_v subtle_a and_o crafty_a and_o have_v a_o forwardness_n and_o quickness_n of_o wit_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v courtier_n negotiator_n and_o merchant_n but_o that_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o learning_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o spirit_n more_o contrary_a and_o repugnant_a to_o science_n then_o these_o it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o difficult_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o understanding_n by_o its_o effect_n and_o of_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o vulgar_a who_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o a_o man_n be_v wise_a and_o prudent_a if_o he_o be_v eloquent_a historical_a and_o romantic_a if_o he_o be_v a_o good_a mathematician_n and_o a_o poet_n which_o be_v thing_n direct_o belong_v to_o

different_a opinion_n concern_v these_o matter_n of_o judgement_n whereas_o they_o ought_v to_o refer_v themselves_o to_o the_o learned_a and_o know_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o understanding_n give_v this_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o faculty_n to_o distinguish_v to_o infer_v to_o judge_v to_o argue_v and_o to_o elect_v and_o that_o such_o doubt_n as_o be_v in_o it_o arise_v from_o
