have_v vary_a his_o achiote_n and_o use_v a_o new_a parcel_n which_o to_o i_o seem_v not_o so_o good_a which_o in_o the_o same_o weight_n do_v yield_v a_o deep_a colour_n by_o far_o and_o occasion_v as_o i_o think_v the_o aforesaid_a case_n w●ich_a do_v not_o happen_v when_o i_o use_v another_o sort_n which_o to_o i_o seem_v more_o pure_a than_o the_o last_o use_v but_o i_o do_v further_o

and_o stuff_n from_o phlegm_n such_o a_o sort_n of_o chocolata_n may_v agree_v well_o as_o to_o the_o heat_n of_o achiote_n itself_o i_o can_v not_o perceive_v any_o more_o in_o the_o last_o then_o in_o the_o other_o nay_o i_o must_v profess_v i_o think_v that_o five_o grain_n of_o the_o say_a achiote_n take_v by_o itself_o do_v not_o so_o much_o heat_v i_o nay_o it_o do_v not_o cause_n in_o i_o any_o sense_n of_o heat_n as_o do_v half_a a_o dram_n of_o chocolata-paste_n already_o mention_v yet_o in_o sixteen_o ounce_n thereof_o there_o be_v but_o one_o scruple_n and_o this_o consideration_n put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o indian_a remark_n that_o achiote_n though_o destitute_a almost_o of_o taste_n and_o smell_v do_v amend_v the_o taste_n and_o smell_v which_o it_o may_v do_v as_o well_o as_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o other_o ingredient_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o sensible_o hot_a yet_o by_o its_o penetrancy_n and_o the_o great_a attenuate_a faculty_n it_o have_v it_o may_v occasion_v some_o distemper_n in_o the_o head_n where_o the_o blood_n be_v already_o so_o attenuate_v that_o it_o admit_v no_o further_a rare_a faction_n without_o indispose_v the_o head_n which_o according_a to_o mechanical_a philosophy_n must_v needs_o receive_v a_o great_a afflux_n of_o blood_n the_o thin_a it_o be_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o achiote_n i_o can_v only_o give_v this_o rule_n that_o it_o be_v solid_a not_o soft_a rather_o pale-red_n then_o deep_a free_a from_o seed_n or_o greenish_a hull_n within_o and_o not_o musty_a as_o to_o the_o quantity_n to_o be_v put_v in_o i_o find_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o determine_v the_o proportion_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o achiote_n but_o take_v the_o indian_a rule_n record_v in_o ledesma_n to_o put_v in_o as_o
