effect_n these_o quality_n produce_v in_o woman_n we_o may_v distinguish_v they_o more_o or_o less_o and_o thus_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o understand_v the_o same_o first_o by_o the_o wit_n and_o ability_n of_o the_o woman_n second_o by_o her_o manner_n and_o condition_n three_o by_o the_o shrillness_n or_o harshness_n of_o her_o voice_n in_o the_o four_o place_n by_o she_o be_v fat_a or_o lean._n in_o the_o five_o place_n by_o her_o colour_n in_o the_o six_o by_o she_o hair_n and_o last_o by_o her_o fairness_n or_o foulness_n as_o to_o the_o first_o you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o have_v elsewhere_o prove_v that_o woman_n wit_n and_o ability_n follow_v the_o temperament_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o no_o other_o part_n nevertheless_o the_o matrix_fw-la and_o the_o testicle_n be_v of_o that_o force_n and_o vigour_n to_o alter_v the_o body_n that_o if_o they_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a or_o cold_a and_o moist_a or_o any_o other_o temperament_n whatever_o two_o galen_n affirm_v all_o the_o other_o part_n will_v observe_v the_o same_o temper_n but_o the_o part_n that_o depend_v most_o upon_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o womb_n according_a the_o opinion_n of_o all_o physician_n be_v the_o brain_n though_o they_o discover_v not_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o they_o ground_n so_o great_a a_o correspondence_n true_a it_o be_v that_o xv_o galen_n prove_v by_o experience_n that_o if_o a_o sow_n be_v splay_v she_o immediate_o become_v sweet_a and_o fat_a her_o flesh_n tender_a and_o savoury_a but_o if_o she_o be_v not_o splay_v her_o flesh_n be_v like_a that_o of_o a_o dog_n whence_o may_v be_v know_v that_o the_o matrix_fw-la and_o testicle_n be_v of_o great_a efficacy_n to_o communicate_v their_o temperament_n to_o all_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n especial_o to_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v cold_a and_o moist_a as_o they_o be_v between_o which_o because_o of_o the_o resemblance_n the_o communication_n be_v the_o easy_a now_o if_o we_o agree_v that_o cold_a and_o moist_a be_v the_o quality_n that_o impair_v the_o rational_a soul_n as_o their_o contrary_n hot_a and_o dry_a render_v it_o more_o perfect_a and_o improve_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o a_o woman_n that_o show_v much_o wit_n and_o ability_n will_v be_v cold_a and_o moist_a in_o the_o first_o degree_n and_o if_o she_o be_v very_o silly_a she_o be_v in_o the_o three_o degree_n but_o if_o she_o participate_v equal_o of_o the_o two_o extreme_n it_o show_v she_o be_v in_o the_o second_o degree_n for_o to_o imagine_v that_o a_o woman_n may_v be_v hot_a and_o dry_a and_o not_o have_v the_o wit_n and_o ability_n attend_v these_o two_o quality_n be_v a_o gross_a mistake_n for_o if_o the_o seed_n of_o which_o she_o be_v form_v have_v be_v hot_a and_o dry_a in_o predominance_n she_o will_v have_v be_v bear_v a_o man_n and_o not_o a_o woman_n but_o because_o the_o seed_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a she_o be_v bear_v a_o woman_n and_o not_o a_o man._n the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n will_v clear_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o wit_n of_o the_o first_o woman_n that_o live_v in_o the_o world_n for_o though_o god_n make_v she_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o accomplish_v of_o her_o sex_n yet_o it_o be_v conclude_v for_o certain_a that_o she_o be_v much_o less_o know_v than_o adam_n of_o which_o the_o devil_n be_v sensible_a set_v himself_o to_o tempt_v she_o not_o dare_v to_o attempt_v the_o man_n be_v apprehensive_a of_o his_o great_a wit_n and_o knowledge_n for_o to_o say_v that_o for_o her_o offence_n that_o be_v take_v from_o eve_n what_o she_o want_v in_o knowledge_n to_o equal_a adam_n can_v be_v affirm_v because_o as_o yet_o she_o have_v not_o offend_v the_o reason_n then_o why_o the_o first_o woman_n have_v not_o so_o much_o wit_n be_v because_o she_o be_v create_v by_o god_n cold_a and_o moist_a which_o be_v the_o necessary_a temperament_n to_o be_v fruitful_a and_o to_o have_v child_n and_o that_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o knowledge_n for_o if_o she_o have_v be_v temperate_a as_o adam_n she_o have_v be_v very_o wise_a but_o can_v not_o have_v have_v

a_o woman_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n or_o great_a grace_n than_o her_o natural_a disposition_n but_o if_o it_o come_v to_o she_o from_o heaven_n she_o may_v bold_o speak_v and_o teach_v for_o we_o
