body_n for_o uppermost_a we_o see_v as_o it_o be_v a_o little_a skim_n like_o to_o the_o flower_n or_o work_n of_o new_a wine_n or_o of_o other_o wine_n when_o it_o be_v pour_v forth_o next_o we_o

humour_n blood_n and_o their_o nature_n now_o concern_v the_o first_o of_o they_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o proper_a nature_n of_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v hot_a and_o moist_a wherein_o it_o answer_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o air_n it_o be_v temperate_a sweet_a and_o fatty_a as_o also_o the_o best_a and_o chief_a part_n of_o nourishment_n for_o albeit_o all_o the_o other_o humour_n do_v nourish_v likewise_o and_o be_v carry_v of_o the_o blood_n nevertheless_o that_o humour_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v blood_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n of_o nourishment_n for_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o nourishment_n shall_v be_v sweet_a or_o at_o leastwise_o temper_v with_o sweet_a liquor_n next_o humour_n that_o thin_a skim_n which_o be_v see_v on_o the_o top_n of_o it_o resemble_v the_o flower_n of_o wine_n be_v that_o humour_n that_o be_v call_v yellow_a choler_n or_o the_o choleric_a humour_n which_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a of_o a_o bitter_a taste_n and_o answer_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o fire_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v breed_v of_o the_o hot_a and_o dry_a part_n of_o that_o liquor_n in_o which_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v when_o through_o their_o great_a heat_n they_o boil_v together_o humour_n moreover_o those_o small_a stream_n of_o water_n which_o we_o see_v mingle_v in_o the_o blood_n proceed_v of_o the_o phlegmatic_a humour_n that_o be_v cold_a and_o moist_a like_a to_o water_n of_o who_o nature_n it_o hold_v for_o this_o humour_n be_v in_o part_n concoct_v for_o the_o turn_n of_o it_o into_o blood_n but_o not_o whole_o perfect_v hereof_o it_o come_v that_o the_o colour_n of_o it_o remain_v white_a much_o like_a to_o water_n and_o without_o taste_n or_o as_o some_o affirm_v it_o be_v some_o what_o brackish_a humour_n but_o not_o fatty_a last_o the_o black_a humour_n and_o most_o earthy_a which_o look_v like_o the_o very_a bottom_n of_o a_o deep_a red_a and_o thick_a wine_n or_o like_o the_o lees_n in_o a_o vessel_n full_a of_o wine_n or_o oil_n be_v the_o melancholic_a humour_n or_o as_o some_o term_n it_o black_a choler_n be_v cold_a and_o dry_a like_a to_o the_o earth_n with_o which_o it_o have_v some_o agreement_n and_o of_o taste_n somewhat_o sharp_a now_o in_o this_o diversity_n of_o these_o humour_n mingle_v altogether_o with_o the_o blood_n element_n two_o thing_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v well_o mark_v first_o the_o agreement_n and_o conformity_n which_o they_o have_v with_o all_o the_o element_n of_o which_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v compound_v so_o that_o each_o of_o they_o have_v his_o proper_a element_n agreeable_a to_o his_o nature_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v nourish_v and_o preserve_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o element_n of_o which_o they_o hold_v the_o other_o point_n be_v not_o only_o the_o disagreement_n but_o even_o the_o manifest_a contrariety_n that_o be_v between_o all_o these_o humour_n as_o there_o be_v betwixt_o the_o element_n &_o again_o the_o union_n that_o appear_v to_o be_v between_o they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o this_o contrariety_n as_o the_o like_a be_v among_o the_o element_n who_o nature_n they_o follow_v moreover_o we_o see_v that_o between_o light_n and_o darkness_n day_n and_o night_n cold_a and_o heat_n drienesse_n and_o moisture_n between_o the_o diverse_a and_o contrary_a season_n of_o the_o year_n beside_o sundry_a other_o such_o contrariety_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n &_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n i_o say_v between_o these_o so_o contrary_a god_n frame_v notwithstanding_o such_o a_o wonderful_a concord_n temper_v and_o knit_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n one_o with_o a_o other_o that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o deface_v and_o

which_o we_o have_v here_o speak_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o these_o humour_n we_o have_v further_o to_o note_n that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o agree_v with_o the_o element_n in_o quality_n but_o also_o in_o regard_n

but_o a_o very_a little_a but_o god_n have_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o salt_n and_o of_o sundry_a fort_n of_o sauce_n and_o spice_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v make_v to_o have_v a_o pleasant_a taste_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n also_o which_o be_v clean_o contrary_a either_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o evil_a taste_n as_o gall_v and_o wormwood_n or_o else_o because_o of_o the_o hurt_n which_o they_o may_v bring_v with_o they_o as_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v venomous_a and_o very_a poison_n but_o god_n have_v very_o well_o meet_v with_o this_o inconvenience_n both_o by_o this_o gift_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v and_o also_o by_o put_v into_o such_o thing_n as_o may_v hurt_v either_o man_n or_o any_o other_o live_a creature_n a_o certain_a quality_n which_o we_o call_v relish_v or_o taste_v that_o be_v contrary_a and_o very_a unpleasant_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v as_o likewise_o he_o have_v give_v to_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v healthful_a and_o good_a to_o nourish_v a_o relish_n that_o be_v agreeable_a and_o pleasant_a unto_o our_o taste_n this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v if_o our_o taste_n be_v not_o corrupt_v either_o by_o sickness_n or_o by_o some_o unbrideled_a appetite_n the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o spittle_n spittle_n which_o beside_o the_o use_n before_o name_v have_v this_o also_o that_o it_o help_v the_o taste_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v already_o infect_v with_o some_o evil_a taste_n it_o will_v not_o well_o receive_v other_o but_o will_v cause_v everything_a to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o taste_n wherewith_o it_o be_v infect_v and_o corrupt_v now_o those_o thing_n be_v most_o savoury_a and_o have_v the_o best_a relish_n that_o have_v in_o they_o the_o best_a mixture_n of_o heat_n and_o moisture_n which_o two_o quality_n make_v the_o relish_n of_o thing_n and_o without_o which_o we_o see_v that_o all_o extreme_a cold_a and_o dry_a thing_n have_v no_o smack_n or_o taste_v as_o flax_n or_o tow_n and_o dry_a wood_n or_o water_n that_o be_v very_o pure_a in_o other_o thing_n those_o that_o have_v more_o moisture_n than_o heat_n have_v their_o taste_n less_o sharp_a so_o that_o according_a as_o heat_n and_o humidity_n be_v temper_v together_o the_o diversity_n of_o taste_n be_v frame_v for_o if_o humidity_n do_v not_o exceed_v and_o surmount_v earthy_a dryness_n or_o both_o of_o they_o be_v consume_v by_o heat_n there_o be_v no_o taste_n so_o that_o as_o all_o bodily_a thing_n be_v compound_v of_o all_o the_o element_n and_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o according_a as_o they_o have_v more_o or_o less_o of_o the_o element_n so_o be_v it_o in_o taste_n for_o this_o cause_n this_o sense_n of_o taste_n answer_v to_o the_o element_n of_o water_n element_n and_o hold_v most_o of_o the_o nature_n thereof_o as_o the_o sense_n of_o touch_v have_v more_o affinity_n with_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v agree_v better_o with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v feel_v thereby_o for_o the_o vigour_n and_o sense_n thereof_o aught_o to_o be_v close_o together_o and_o throughout_o and_o such_o as_o take_v fast_a hold_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n so_o likewise_o the_o sense_n of_o sight_n agree_v with_o the_o fire_n and_o that_o of_o hear_v with_o the_o air_n as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v it_o and_o as_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v it_o agree_v both_o with_o the_o fire_n and_o with_o the_o thick_a air_n because_o smell_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o heat_n as_o smoke_n be_v by_o fire_n which_o afterwards_o be_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o air_n carry_v to_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v whereof_o we_o will_v speak_v hereafter_o but_o let_v we_o go_v on_o with_o our_o discourse_n of_o taste_v and_o of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v apt_a to_o nourish_v the_o body_n for_o we_o can_v live_v without_o the_o help_n of_o many_o thing_n among_o which_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v chief_a because_o that_o as_o hunger_n require_v meat_n so_o thirst_n desire_v drink_v we_o must_v therefore_o understand_v that_o this_o soul_n and_o life_n which_o be_v call_v vegetative_a or_o nourish_a and_o which_o be_v common_a to_o man_n with_o all_o other_o live_v creature_n have_v two_o principal_a instrument_n in_o the_o body_n life_n namely_o heat_n and_o humidity_n of_o which_o heat_n be_v first_o

that_o life_n may_v be_v prolong_v which_o otherwise_o will_v fail_v present_o after_o it_o be_v forsake_v of_o heat_n as_o heat_v also_o will_v decay_v if_o it_o be_v not_o nourish_v and_o preserve_v by_o humidity_n which_o it_o necessary_o require_v for_o heat_n draw_v humour_n unto_o itself_o and_o suck_v and_o drink_v it_o up_o likewise_o humour_n refresh_v heat_n and_o slake_v the_o

dry_a can_v have_v any_o fellowship_n with_o coldness_n and_o humidity_n without_o some_o middle_a quality_n agreeable_a to_o his_o nature_n on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o will_v soon_o consume_v the_o dry_a matter_n on_o which_o it_o light_v if_o the_o vehement_a heat_n thereof_o be_v not_o abate_v and_o temper_v by_o some_o humidity_n which_o both_o resist_v the_o dryness_n and_o also_o by_o the_o coldness_n it_o have_v moderate_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n therefore_o we_o see_v that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o wick_n of_o a_o lamp_n can_v continue_v long_o be_v once_o light_v if_o
