of hayre much stoare stronge somewhat blackishe meanely thicke and neyther altogether thicke and grosse nor altogether streight plaine Which differēces Galene applyeth to euery seuerall age For as touching the colour he ascrybeth such hayres as yong Infantes haue to the Germaynes of suche as be in their best flourishynge yeares to Spaniards and Mauritanians and of them that be Spryngalds or in the beginning of theyr Adolescencie to such as inhabite temperate Countryes In the natures also of bodyes the hayre is of forme colour according to the difference and respect of Ages and Countryes For tender age and Childhoode is bare without hayres on the bodye or els wyth verye smal soft and mosye hayre onelye because eyther there be n● pores in theyr skinnes for the exhalatiō to euaporate and grow to the bignesse of hayres or els there wanteth effluxe and fuliginous excrement wherewithall the small threads of the hayres are wont to be drawen and produced oute But when they bee come neere aboute the age of xiiii yeares they beginne to bourgen and shewe forth lytle and weake Lustye and flourishinge Age hath hayres stronger fuller bushed blackishe for that the pores and passages then beginne to open and be enlarged and finally stoare of fumous exhalation aboundeth in those partes of the bodye which are apte to generate and produce hayre as the Heade Chinne Arme pittes Priuities For although the Breaste Armes Thighes in some that be of very hoate complexion abound with fuliginous vapoure be seene to be rough and hayrie yet do those hayres grow neither so copiouslye nor to anye greate length which thing for example sake in certayne drye and musculious places of the bodye as the eye-browes eyelyddes may euidētly be perceyued Therefore the muche stoare and thicknes of hayre commeth of aboundaūce of humours and the colour thereof is according as the heate is of greatnes Therefore all those partes in mans body are most rough and hayrie which abounde in moste heate For it attracteth the vaporous fumes that issue from humours and fashioneth the same into a hayrie nature And for this cause many Springhaldes haue not in that Age anye heardes neither any other partes of their bodies hayrie My order is to such as resort to me for aduise and counsell howe they maye make their beardes to growe to open and make wide their pores passages by applying and geeuinge to them such thinges as stirre vp heate in those partes bring out humours altering concocting the same into the vse of hayres The Lintment that I customably make for this purpose is this R. of Reede or Cane rootes Brionie rootes Beete Radish Floure de lice Onions of ech alike viz the quantity of foure Ounces sixe fatte figges brused stamped very small Maydenheare Sothernvvod Dill of eche one handfull seethe these all together in sweete and well relyced wyne then force wringe out the licoure and streine it throughe a strayner then put to it freshe butter neuer salted pure honie Ana. ii oun mces Oyle of Almonds both sweete and sower Oyle of Sesama about the quantity of i. oūce Oximel Scyllitic halfe an oz. the powder or meale of Lineseede Nigella Fenugreke wel sifted and throughly boulted in a fine boulter one Pugil or smal graspe of the gūme Labdanū one oūce Let al these be set vpon the fier and stirred with a sticke til they be thick ynough to make a Limment withall To what part of the body soeuer this liniment is layd and applyed it maketh hayre to grow and if the Chinne or bare Cheekes bee therewith annoynted the same wil quickly be hayrie and haue a comely bearde For it openeth and relaxeth the skinne beynge thycke and maketh the passage and and euaporaciō for the humours of whō throughe the helpe and operation of heate the first buddīg out and generation of hayres proceedeth And if the baldnes or barenesse of hayre proceede not eyther of eldershippe in yeares or els by reasō of some sicknesse or vicious humours as bodyes infected wyth some lothsome disease or wyth French Pockes commonly are for the bodyes of such persons euen in the secretest partes become in eche place pylde and sheedeth all their hayre like vnto Trees whose leaues fall of if in the roote raigne anye saltishnes or venemous licoure this liniment is a present helpe and remedy but the body must first by Purgation be clēsed from all ill and filthy humours inwardly But to proceede in my purpose matter womē by the very same reason that yong Stryplings are haue no hayre on theyr bodyes but be smothe and slicke skinned sauinge onelye theyr heades crowne where their hayre groweth in marueylous great plentye for that the vapours do very much aboundantly ascend vpward In their other partes their skinne is smothe and vnhayrye because moysture is aboue heate Sauing y in and about theyr secrete pryuityes where also hayrinesse appeareth such women as be greatlye destrous of carnall lust and copulacion be verye roughe and thick growenr with hayre thereabout and the more lecherous the more hayrie fruictfull And the cause whye some women otherwyse aboundinge wyth generatiue seede do not conceyue and beare children is nothing els but y want of heate For euen as a fenny and very wet grounde beareth no corne but choketh it vppe so likewyse a wombe that is slypperie is not fit for conception In like maner also there be some yonge men who maryinge to soone and ere they be fully rype are vnfruictfull and not able to get any children for that they lacke manly strength theyr seede to cold and thinne It is therefore by reason of heate that men be hayrie and bolder then women be But if heate encrease in mans body vnmeasurably and aboue a mediocrity and that through Choler the bloud be styrred and too-much enflamed it oftentimes turneth into meere desperate rage furie And hereof it commeth that many beinge angred and theyr bloud eyther wyth publicke or wyth pryuate iniuryes styrred in theyr desperate moode will Bedlemlyke runne vppon theyr Ennemyes wyth myndes enraged The hoater of complexion therefore y euery man is and further of from moderate temperature the hayryer is his bodye and the fiercer is his courage Which thinge by Iuuenal is right well expressed where he sayth A busshie Beard and Armes ouergrovven vvith bristled hayres Sat. 2. declare In man a sauage cruell mynde deuoyde of any care For vehemēt heate maketh men stoute of courage
