lift_v up_o unto_o the_o middle_a region_n of_o the_o air_n which_o as_o we_o have_v former_o say_v be_v cold_a in_o summer_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o snow_n be_v there_o conserve_v which_o fall_v not_o so_o to_o the_o low_a part_n where_o in_o in_o summer_n the_o heat_n be_v predominant_a q._n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o hot_a water_n cover_v with_o straw_n conserves_n and_o retain_v his_o heat_n and_o that_o snow_n cover_v also_o with_o straw_n in_o a_o fresh_a place_n remain_v in●ire_n without_o resolve_v or_o melt_v retain_v his_o coldness_n see_v that_o heat_n and_o cold_a be_v two_o quality_n diametral_o contrary_a a._n it_o be_v because_o the_o straw_n be_v not_o proper_o of_o himself_o neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a nor_o dry_a nor_o moist_a and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v call_v of_o the_o greeek_v apoion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v exempt_a of_o quality_n and_o nevertheless_o be_v susceptible_a of_o quality_n of_o the_o subject_n to_o which_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o in_o as_o much_o more_o easy_o that_o if_o it_o participate_v of_o any_o of_o they_o it_o be_v therefore_o it_o conserves_n and_o entertain_v hot_a thing_n in_o their_o heat_n and_o cold_a thing_n in_o their_o coldness_n from_o thence_o come_v it_o also_o that_o it_o be_v very_o proper_a to_o conserve_v the_o fruit_n and_o to_o keep_v they_o from_o corruption_n and_o rottenness_n drown_v q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o the_o body_n of_o drown_a folk_n come_v again_o to_o swim_v upon_o the_o water_n after_o few_o day_n and_o note_o as_o they_o have_v observe_v upon_o the_o nine_o day_n a._n some_o say_v that_o nine_o day_n after_o the_o body_n be_v drown_v and_o sink_v under_o the_o water_n the_o gall_n split_v and_o break_v and_o the_o bitter_a liquor_n which_o be_v

some_o day_n after_o it_o be_v drown_v but_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o because_o of_o wind_n which_o engender_v within_o the_o cawl_n film_n or_o membrane_n which_o cover_v the_o

will_v like_v better_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v because_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o for_o woman_n have_v the_o vessel_n of_o before_o more_o ample_a large_a and_o capable_a than_o the_o man_n as_o the_o natural_a part_n the_o matrixe_a and_o the_o conduit_n of_o the_o urine_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o be_v less_o

and_o heavi_v much_o more_o the_o fore_a part_n of_o their_o body_n and_o by_o consequent_a draw_v it_o downward_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o most_o heavy_a part_n still_o incline_v downward_o on_o the_o contrary_a man_n have_v their_o shoulder_n more_o gross_a and_o large_a than_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o bone_n and_o ligature_n of_o the_o vertebre_n or_o back_o bone_n more_o

of_o our_o malady_n gather_v together_o and_o increase_v a._n because_o that_o in_o the_o day_n we_o see_v hear_v breath_n smell_v taste_n run_v and_o have_v many_o other_o divertment_n which_o allay_v our_o grief_n and_o in_o the_o night_n the_o sense_n of_o the_o touch_n be_v only_o busy_v and_o be_v also_o more_o affect_v with_o grief_n together_o the_o excessive_a cold_a and_o moisture_n of_o the_o night_n aid_n to_o it_o also_o very_o much_o q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o we_o hear_v better_o and_o more_o further_a in_o the_o night_n then_o in_o the_o day_n a._n because_o that_o the_o noise_n of_o animal_n and_o a_o infinite_a of_o such_o like_a thing_n cease_v in_o the_o night_n and_o all_o be_v still_o in_o silence_n and_o in_o rest_n the_o hear_n peirce_v better_a upon_o his_o object_n and_o moreover_o our_o other_o sense_n and_o especial_o the_o sight_n distract_v we_o much_o in_o the_o day_n not_o exercise_v then_o their_o function_n the_o hear_n be_v then_o the_o most_o sharp_a q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o we_o rest_v soon_o and_o better_o in_o the_o night_n then_o in_o the_o day_n a._n the_o reason_n politic_a be_v that_o the_o day_n be_v more_o proper_a to_o we_o for_o travel_n and_o labour_n because_o of_o the_o light_n but_o the_o reason_n natural_a be_v that_o the_o night_n be_v more_o cold_a and_o moist_a than_o the_o day_n and_o the_o cold_a and_o the_o humidity_n provoke_v sleep_v as_o also_o that_o have_v travel_v hither_o and_o thither_o in_o the_o day_n we_o repose_v and_o rest_v better_o in_o the_o night_n smell_v and_o smell_a q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o man_n excel_v not_o in_o smell_v as_o many_o other_o animal_n do_v a._n because_o that_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o corporal_a mass_n have_v much_o more_o of_o brain_n then_o any_o other_o animal_n and_o the_o brain_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a and_o the_o odour_n on_o the_o contrary_n hold_v more_o of_o hot_a and_o dry_a be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o smell_a of_o man_n be_v weaken_v by_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o the_o brain_n for_o the_o faculty_n of_o smell_a lie_n principal_o in_o certain_a little_a boss_n or_o rundell_n of_o flesh_n which_o the_o physician_n call_v mamelle_n which_o be_v above_o the_o nares_fw-la or_o nostril_n join_v to_o the_o brain_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o those_o which_o have_v the_o brain_n temper_v with_o hot_a and_o dry_a excel_v in_o smell_v above_o other_o a._n because_o the_o odour_n be_v of_o the_o temperament_n of_o the_o hot_a and_o of_o the_o dry_a q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o those_o which_o excel_v in_o smell_v have_v also_o ordinary_o spirit_n good_a and_o subtle_a a._n because_o that_o their_o brain_n be_v of_o the_o above_o say_v temper_n the_o heat_n serve_v they_o to_o the_o prompt_a conception_n of_o the_o object_n and_o the_o dry_a to_o retain_v they_o which_o be_v the_o quality_n of_o a_o fair_a spirit_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o they_o have_v seldom_o a_o good_a sight_n a._n because_o that_o the_o instrument_n of_o the_o sight_n be_v waterish_a and_o moist_a and_o that_o of_o the_o smell_n be_v of_o the_o contrary_a temperature_n by_o reason_n whereof_o they_o can_v much_o excel_v in_o both_o the_o two_o together_o q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o arabia_n felix_n africa_n and_o other_o hot_a region_n be_v very_o abundant_a and_o plant_v plentiful_a in_o all_o odoriferous_a and_o aromatic_a thing_n a._n because_o that_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a they_o have_v the_o same_o temperature_n as_o the_o odour_n be_v of_o q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o the_o flower_n which_o grow_v near_o to_o oignions_n have_v a_o more_o violent_a smell_n then_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v a._n because_o that_o the_o onion_n dry_a and_o heat_v the_o earth_n and_o communicate_v by_o that_o mean_v those_o two_o quality_n to_o the_o flower_n the_o which_o quality_n fortify_v the_o odour_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o those_o which_o be_v rheumatic_a smell_n very_o little_a or_o
feeling_n themselves_o weak_a in_o the_o field_n get_v unto_o their_o garrison_n their_o castle_n and_o tower_n best_o fortify_v and_o most_o strong_a now_o the_o blood_n which_o give_v a_o

want_n of_o it_o become_v win_v and_o pale_a q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o they_o tremble_v a._n because_o that_o the_o nerve_n become_v cold_a slack_a and_o weak_a by_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o natural_a heat_n and_o of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n which_o be_v retire_v into_o the_o interior_a can_v support_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o body_n but_o the_o member_n shake_v and_o

vessel_n which_o contain_v the_o excrement_n be_v so_o weaken_v by_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o heat_n and_o of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n that_o they_o slack_v and_o by_o that_o mean_n sometime_o they_o escape_v without_o be_v perceive_v q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o those_o which_o be_v seize_v with_o fear_n by_o a_o inevitable_a peril_n or_o danger_n as_o for_o example_n those_o that_o be_v lead_v to_o execution_n have_v ordinary_o a_o extreme_a thirst_n a._n because_o that_o the_o heat_n retire_v and_o gather_v together_o as_o be_v say_v into_o the_o interior_n dry_v they_o and_o there_o excit_v the_o thirst_n although_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o body_n as_o hand_n and_o foot_n be_v very_o cold_a &_o tremble_a q_o wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v soon_o fright_v in_o the_o night_n and_o in_o darkness_n especial_o be_v alone_o more_o than_o in_o the_o day_n and_o in_o the_o light_n a._n some_o attribute_n the_o same_o to_o the_o danger_n that_o one_o may_v get_v by_o stumble_v or_o other_o mischief_n when_o we_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o the_o question_n be_v of_o another_o kind_n of_o fear_n then_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o knock_n and_o stumble_v for_o i_o will_v suppose_v that_o if_o one_o be_v within_o a_o good_a bed_n and_o stir_v not_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v then_o that_o the_o enemy_n of_o humane_a kind_n be_v a_o friend_n of_o

that_o it_o be_v so_o there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v not_o sometime_o approve_a it_o as_o in_o go_v alone_o in_o the_o night_n and_o it_o may_v be_v without_o apprehension_n of_o any_o danger_n at_o all_o but_o in_o a_o instant_n a_o sudden_a fear_n seize_v upon_o they_o because_o in_o my_o conceit_n there_o be_v some_o evil_a spirit_n that_o we_o doubt_v without_o see_v it_o as_o the_o weak_a animal_n be_v afraid_a approach_v to_o the_o lion_n although_o they_o see_v he_o not_o i_o will_v not_o deny_v nevertheless_o that_o the_o night_n also_o augment_v all_o sort_n of_o fear_n because_o of_o the_o erterprise_n and_o surprise_v which_o may_v be_v make_v then_o with_o the_o most_o commodity_n but_o there_o be_v another_o natural_a terror_n which_o come_v often_o to_o man_n

nevertheless_o willing_o all_o these_o fear_n come_v from_o the_o force_n of_o the_o imagination_n and_o want_v of_o faith_n for_o by_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o we_o propose_v a_o thousand_o

that_o such_o passion_n cool_v the_o exterior_a part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o by_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o heat_n which_o retire_v with_o the_o blood_n into_o the_o interior_a and_o the_o cold_a

shall_v make_v the_o shadow_n of_o themselves_o in_o eat_v it_o if_o they_o hold_v the_o prey_n or_o the_o food_n below_z they_o q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o fish_n be_v more_o gluttonous_a
