the braine the which are hinderers of smelling CHAP. 18. The complexion aptest to be infected is the sanguine first because the qualities in that complexion are like vnto the qualities in the ayre hot and moist and therefore doth entertaine the ayre the apter Secondly because these two qualities in this complexion maketh it more conuertible like the ayre which will sooner be made hotter or moister then any of the other elements Thirdly because in this complexion the passages leading to the humours about the heart and to the vitall spirits in the heart are more large and spatious then in any other The reason is for that blood naturall is not without his vapours which cause motion and where most motion of blood is there is cause of extention and the same is in this complexion CHAP. 19. The aptest time for this complexion to entertaine the virulent matter into the humours is in the former spring especially for then blood increaseth and passeth vp and downe beeing not thoroughly refined and made the readier by his motion and impuritie to receiue it The aptest time for this complexion to entertaine the virulent matter into the spirits vitall is sommer by reason that the blood beeing made hot and the spirits likewise hot and ayre continually heating CHAP. 20. This complexion may take the infection although not at the nostrills or mouth yet it may take it at the emunctorie places and at the pores in the skin in other places which are more large and readier to be opened then in the other complexions CHAP. 21. The signes shewing this complexion Visage white and ruddie most redde in the cheekes eyes orderly placed yet somewhat large ofttimes vaines blew and full pulse full and great vrine plentie redde and ofttimes grosse seege and sweat exceeding digestion perfect apt to bleeding and sleeping willing to mooue yet abstaining from motion by reason of heate and sweating subiect to dreame of bloodie things and amorous toyes affable affectionate yet to be remooued well spoken chaungeable in opinion apt to haue the yellow iaundes heat vnder the lites at the heart and raines stitch in the right side subiect to the chollicke and then the hands and face will be full of srecks in many a one of meane stature and comely for the most part a louer of musicke and wines effeminate beard large and comely delightfull in himselfe a louer of companie and conuertible with them merrie for the most part haire of colour red or yellowish subiect to the feuer called Synocham This complexion hauing taken the infection in the humors about the heart in the emunctorie places or at the pores in the skin beeing come vnto the blood may best of any complexion haue a vaine opened CHAP. 22. IF this complection or any other haue the blood infected the vaines will be blackish and not so full as before in health for that the good blood flyeth inward to the sediment from the infection and there remaineth subiect to infection by little and little as it goeth outward or as the other runneth inward the liuer will be worse in this complection and consequently digestion imperfect the body hot all ouer more then in other complections because blood infected hath larger passage then in other complections For asmuch as good blood is not without good vapour and both of them cause of vitall spirit and that cause of the animall spirits by which two man liueth and mooueth and is made more hable to resist the virulent matter of pestilence therefore it behooueth euery complection to clense his blood purge it from humours hurtfull vnto it which these receipts following by Gods helpe will performe CHAP. 23. TAke of cassia new extracted one ounce of hony halfe an ounce of sugar two drammes infuse these seuen or eight howers in fowre ounces of borrage water and sower ounces of violet or endiue water if you can get a fingerfull of liuerwoort and first bruise it a little then infuse it with the cassia it will be very proper especially if it be in sommer then strayne all together and drinke of it euery morning fasting three howers before meate the quantitie of two or three ounces vntill you feele your blood reasonable cooled and the stomack not impayred CHAP. 24.

For the Chollericke Complexion VVHereas some may thinke that I should haue placed choller next vnto blood according to the order of some writers first because choller is the next proper begotten humour of blood secondly because his cell or receptacle is the nearest to the blood thirdly because it is of the qualitie of the fyery elemēt which is as they account the worthier element beeing the preseruer and purger of most things fourthly because it is the beutifullest and the highest element in place Yet because phlegme is the beginner and begetter of blood and blood of Choller and melancholie therefore I accoumpt it prius tempore ordine sustinendo although not ordine honoris dignitatis in making man for when it taketh beeing in the wombe then are all humours together in that masse or lumpe or els much of it perisheth yet one predominant secundum ordinem naturae producentis effectum coeuntium planatarum infusionem so that none can be said to be before another or more vnworthie because one without the other neither three without one can make a body neither continue it therefore I thinke it no errour CHAP. 69. CHoller exceding in a bodie giueth to the bodie denomination accordingly and causeth the bodie to haue these two qualities exceeding the other vz. hotnes and drynes whose properties are attractiue to draw vnto it therefore this complexion is apt to drawe the infection and to ioyne with it because of the hot qualitie in the ayre naturall and moysture naturall conueighing the vnnaturall heate and moysture into the body which heate naturall and vnnaturall in the ayre is entertained of this complexion not onely for the agreement of the qualitie in heate but also for the contrarie qualitie of moystnes to drynes which would consume and destroy each other as in fire and water for euery qualitie would haue euery substance to entertaine it and
