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

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

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

have_v say_v of_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o figure_n correspondence_n and_o good_a consonance_n the_o five_o property_n a_o orator_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v to_o know_v how_o to_o apply_v well_o and_o

therefore_o jesus_n christ_n our_o redeemer_n make_v use_v of_o so_o many_o parable_n and_o comparison_n in_o his_o discourse_n because_o by_o their_o mean_n he_o make_v many_o divine_a secret_n better_a understand_v but_o this_o be_v certain_a the_o invention_n of_o parable_n and_o allusion_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o imagination_n because_o as_o we_o have_v already_o often_o say_v the_o

that_o he_o use_v refine_v term_n and_o many_o quaint_a and_o free_a expression_n without_o be_v dull_a which_o grace_n we_o have_v heretofore_o often_o treat_v of_o and_o prove_v they_o in_o part_n to_o pertain_v to_o the_o imagination_n and_o in_o part_n to_o a_o good_a memory_n the_o seven_o property_n that_o make_v a_o good_a orator_n be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n of_o cicero_n that_o

in_o the_o pulpit_n xxxiv_o aristotle_n prove_v this_o from_o the_o instance_n of_o old_a man_n who_o be_v cold_a and_o dry_a for_o to_o have_v a_o clear_a and_o full_a voice_n require_v much_o heat_n to_o dilate_v the_o passage_n and_o a_o moderate_a moisture_n to_o supple_a and_o soften_v they_o therefore_o the_o same_o lxv_o aristotle_n ask_v why_o those_o who_o be_v of_o a_o hot_a nature_n be_v
