An
easy
Method
to
know
the
Causes
and
Signs
of
the
Humour
most
ruleth
in
the
Body
,
and
to
avoid
thereby
things
hurtful
:
as
also
to
enable
men
to
give
better
account
of
the
state
of
their
Bodies
,
when
they
are
diseased
to
the
Physitian
,
and
not
hazard
the
Lives
of
themselves
and
their
Freinds
by
only
urging
him
to
prophesy
(
and
that
often
falsely
)
the
Disease
by
onely
the
inspection
of
Vrine
.
THe
antecedent
or
foregoing
signes
of
fulnesse
are
such
causes
as
breed
plenty
of
blood
,
The
good
temper
of
the
whole
Body
,
but
chiefly
of
the
Liver
and
Heart
,
with
a
moderately
hot
and
moist
temper
.
The
Age
increasing
,
for
Children
and
such
as
are
constituted
betwixt
them
both
,
have
much
blood
,
because
they
are
not
farr
distant
from
the
principles
of
Nature
.
Spring
season
,
Because
in
the
Spring
the
blood
is
most
plentifull
,
for
the
cold
then
remitts
,
and
moisture
puts
forth
it self
.
A
Region
temperate
,
but
chiefly
.
A
more
liberall
diet
of
meates
of
good
juice
,
and
well
tempered
,
as
too
much
plenty
and
affluency
of
the
best
meat
and
wine
,
a
life
void
of
cares
,
full
of
rejoycing
,
with
moderate
and
seasonable
exercise
,
and
sleeping
mean
.
Suppressing
of
customary
vacuation
of
blood
of
its
own
accord
,
or
medicinal
a
long
time
intermitted
,
suggests
mattter
to
fulnesse
.
The
consequent
or
following
signes
of
fulnesse
of
blood
,
The
colour
of
the
face
and
body
ruddy
beyond
custome
,
or
mingled
with
red
and
white
.
An
equall
swelling
of
all
the
veins
,
The
exte●●●●f
the
filled
vessels
and
stretcht
with
fulnesse
of
blood
ma●
〈◊〉
the
view
.
An
exten●●●●
wearisomnesse
coming
of
it self
,
wherein
the
body
and
all
the
joynts
through
wearinesse
are
hardly
moved
,
and
the
hand
is
hardly
contracted
into
the
fist
:
For
a
distending
wearisomnesse
comes
,
when
as
the
greater
veins
swelling
with
plenty
,
empty
themselves
into
the
lesser
,
whence
it
happens
that
the
muscles
are
filled
and
distended
.
An
overfull
masse
of
body
,
of
abundance
of
flesh
springs
from
plenty
of
blood
.
The
habit
of
the
body
meanly
fleshly
,
bedewed
with
a
milde
,
gentle
,
and
breathing
heat
:
because
a
habite
mouerately
fleshy
,
betokens
a
temperate
nature
which
is
full
of
blood
.
The
manners
of
mind
pleasant
and
sweet
,
calm
and
gentle
:
For
a
temperate
and
mild
disposition
of
mind
,
is
a
mark
of
a
temperate
habit
of
body
.
Simplenesse
and
stupidity
of
mind
for
simplicity
and
stupidnesse
of
mind
proceeds
from
blood
;
heavinesse
of
the
head
,
by
reason
of
plenty
of
vapours
ascending
to
the
brain
.
Deep
and
for
the
most
part
pleasing
sleep
,
in
the
which
things
are
represented
by
dreams
full
of
joyfulnesse
and
pleasantnesse
,
shining
like
light
,
or
adorned
with
flowers
.
The
pulse
great
,
strong
and
full
.
For
the
veines
being
full
the
conjunction
of
their
mouthes
with
the
Arteries
,
doe
transfuse
some
of
their
plenty
into
them
:
but
the
Arteries
being
full
,
do
yeeld
such
a
pulse
,
not
onely
in
the
wrist
,
but
in
the
temples
also
,
the
fingers
,
and
the
extremity
of
each
part
,
conspicuous
by
a
trouble
some
beating
.
The
breathing
is
more
difficult
and
thicker
then
of
custome
,
chiefly
after
exercise
,
because
the
muscles
of
the
breast
through
plenty
of
blood
,
are
more
slow
in
their
motion
,
whence
the
breathing
is
more
frequent
in
respect
of
its
use
,
but
lesser
because
the
inward
capacity
of
the
breast
is
streightened
.
Speedy
casting
forth
of
blood
by
stoole
,
the
haemorrhoides
,
monthly
evacuations
,
urine
,
spittle
or
nose
.
A
facility
in
bearing
of
much
bleeding
.
Much
sweat
continually
flowing
through
the
whole
course
of
a
disease
,
doth
deelare
the
presence
of
fulnesse
.
Moreover
,
if
the
party
diseased
hath
been
accustomed
to
be
vexed
frequently
with
diseases
coming
of
fulnesse
,
as
a
continent
fever
,
inflammation
:
for
all
inflammation
cometh
by
afflux
of
blood
.
Cacochimy
or
ill
juice
is
three
fold
,
Cholerick
,
A
temper
hot
and
dry
,
for
in
men
of
hot
and
dry
tempers
,
much
Choler
is
ingendred
,
because
the
cholerick
humor
is
agreeable
to
their
complexion
.
The
age
constant
and
flourishing
,
such
as
endures
from
the
25
yeare
to
the
thirtieth
,
for
yellow
choler
exceeds
in
the
consisting
age
,
because
the
natural
heat
is
much
more
dry
and
intense
,
then
it
was
before
,
a
great
part
of
the
first
inbred
humor
,
wherewith
it
was
overwhelmed
as
it
were
,
being
consumed
.
The
summer
season
,
for
in
summer
Choler
is
most
abounding
,
because
bloud
by
the
incompassing
ayre
is
rendred
more
hot
and
dry
.
The
dry
constitution
of
the
time
;
for
drinesse
effects
a
bilious
quality
in
the
humors
.
A
region
hot
and
dry
,
but
chiefly
a
diet
foregoing
hot
and
dry
.
Likewise
,
exercises
,
labour
,
anger
,
cares
,
watching
,
abstinences
and
wants
,
heap
up
much
Choler
:
as
also
,
voluntary
evacuation
of
choler
suppressed
,
or
such
as
was
accustomed
to
be
avoided
by
art
intermitted
,
by
vomit
,
the
belly
,
Urine
,
or
sweats
.
The
consequent
signes
of
choler
,
The
colour
of
the
face
,
eyes
,
and
whole
body
pale
,
yellow
or
citrin
colour
,
approaching
to
that
of
the
yellow
Jaundice
.
Or
,
Black
,
for
if
the
temperament
do
much
exceed
in
heat
,
the
colour
appears
black
.
The
habit
of
body
dry
,
lean
,
and
slender
,
for
slender
or
spare
men
for
the
most
part
are
cholerick
.
Also
haiery
bodies
,
for
the
temper
hot
and
dry
is
very
hairy
.
The
hair
yellow
,
for
yellow
hair
is
the
dreggy
excrement
of
yellow
Choler
.
Much
more
also
the
haire
that
is
black
,
for
the
haire
becomes
black
when
the
vapour
being
burnt
by
the
force
of
heat
,
the
excrement
is
changed
into
an
exact
smuttiness
.
But
yellow
when
as
it
is
lesse
burnt
.
The
largeness
of
the
veins
being
distended
by
the
force
of
heat
;
for
they
who
have
large
veins
are
of
a
hotter
nature
,
but
contrarily
they
are
colder
whose
veins
are
smaller
,
and
stricter
.
For
it
is
the
work
of
heat
to
dilate
,
and
as
it
were
puffe
them
up
.
A
heat
to
the
touch
,
smart
and
biting
.
Swiftness
to
anger
,
ptopension
to
wrath
and
revenge
,
promptnesse
of
mind
,
and
cheerfulness
.
The
senses
are
quick
,
sharp
,
and
nimble
,
the
wit
sharp
and
industrious
.
For
sharpness
of
wit
,
and
industry
proceed
from
the
billious
humor
.
Sleep
little
and
light
,
and
with
much
tossings
and
tumblings
unquiet
.
Watchings
almost
continuall
:
for
immoderate
watchings
proceed
either
from
the
distemper
of
the
braine
alone
,
or
from
abundance
of
Cholerick
humour
.
Dreams
full
of
Warr
,
fury
and
fire
.
The
pulses
vehement
,
swift
,
frequent
and
hard
.
Bitterness
of
taste
,
inappetency
,
vehement
and
unsatiable
thirst
,
gnawings
in
the
mouth
of
the
stomach
,
and
from
thence
falling
sickness
,
Convulsions
,
faintings
through
paine
of
the
mouth
of
the
stomach
.
Vomiting
and
dejection
by
stoole
cholerick
.
The
belly
daily
bound
.
The
Urine
yellow
,
fiery
,
sharp
,
and
with
small
Cholerick
diseases
frequent
.
As
the
disease
called
Cholera
,
the
Feaver
tertian
,
and
burning
,
creeping
sores
and
fretting
,
cholerick
pushes
breaking
forth
over
the
whole
body
.
The
purging
of
Choler
profitable
,
and
easie
of
bearing
,
and
the
use
of
coole
things
gratefull
and
delightfull
,
because
they
bridle
the
fierceness
of
Choler
,
as
hot
things
exasperate
it
:
Whence
a
cholerick
disease
,
by
administring
hot
things
,
is
made
more
fiery
,
Cacochymy
,
melancholick
is
known
first
by
the
Causes
which
congest
a
larger
portion
of
melancholly
and
black
choler
in
the
body
;
of
which
sort
are
.
A
naturall
temper
cold
and
dry
,
with
the
weaknesse
of
the
spleen
,
or
a
hot
temper
indeed
at
the
first
,
but
by
change
turned
into
cold
.
For
if
any
which
before
was
hot
and
dry
,
by
adustion
hath
generated
much
black
choler
,
he
verily
is
besides
that
he
is
dry
,
and
cold
,
forthwith
also
melancholike
.
The
age
inclining
,
which
is
extended
from
the
Thirtieth
year
of
age
to
the
Fourty
nineth
;
for
Choler
adust
aboundeth
in
the
declining
age
,
because
succeeding
to
youth
,
of
all
the
ages
the
most
Cholerick
,
receives
unto
it
Choler
adust
.
The
Autumnall
Season
,
forasmuch
as
Choler
adust
is
plentifull
in
the
fall
of
the
leafe
,
because
this
succeeding
the
Summer
of
all
the
parts
of
the
year
,
the
hottest
and
dryest
entertaines
from
it
burnt
Choler
.
The
manner
of

,
and
frequent
use
of

,
such
as
are

grosse
Wines

Beere

A
sad
condition
of
life
,
enfolded
in
many
cares
,
businesses
,
contemplations
and
study
of
Letters
,
no
refreshing
or
rejoycing
the
minde
being
interposed
,
or
bodily
exercise
;
For
under
this
the
natutall
heat
languisheth
,
and
the
whole
parts
of
the
body
wax
grosse
,
being
lull'd
asleep
by
sluggishuesse
.
The
customary
vacuation
of
melancholly
supprest
,
whether
it
was
voluntary
,
as
by
the
haemorrhoides
,
the
Termes
,
by
the
Belly
,
or
by
the
Varices
or

,
or
by
Medicaments
accustomed
.
The
colour
of
the

and
the
whole

,
dark
,
brown
,
obscure

swartish
;
sometimes
it
is
Universall

equall
in

sometimes
mured
with
certain

Hardnesse
of

Swelling

The

The
Aspect

Fear

,
silence
,
solitarinesse
,
a
vaine
forging
of
things
that
are
not
,
constancy
and
stability
of
minde
.
Because
that
which
is
constant
and
sixed
in
the
minde
,
proceeds
of
melancholly
.
A
mind
slow
indeed
to
wrath
,
but
fierce
,
and
hardly
appeasable
.
Sleep
turbulent
,
floating
and
tossed
with
horrid
dreames
,
Visions
of
dark

,
Devills
,
Torments
,
Death
,
dead
Carcasses
Graves
,
which
things
are
full
of
terrour
.
The
pulse
is
little
,
slow
,
rare
and
hardish
.
The
appetite
is
often
corrupted
,
yet
sometimes
the
hunger
is
like
doggs
hunger
,
sowre

,
lining

sucking
the
stomach
.
Melancholy
voluntarily
breaking
forth
through
over-plenty
,
by
vomit
,
stool
,
urine
,
sweates
,
or
the
hard
knote
or
swellings
in
the
veines
.
The
Urine
if
no
melancholy

,
is
thin
and
white
,
but
if
any
of
it
flow
forth
with
the
urine
grosse
and
black
.
Melancholy
diseases
frequent
.
Medicaments
that
draw
melancholy
are
conducefull
,
and
easing
the
diseased
:
also
all
diet
that
breeds
good
and
thin
juice
,
is
helpfull
,
but
the
contrary
is
hurtfull
.
A

Old
Age
,
which
is
extended
from

49th
yeare
,
to

For
in
old
age
there
is
congested
much
excrementitious
phlegme
,
through
the
want
of
naturall
heate
.
The
winter
season
:
Because
the
Winter
fills
the
body
with
phlegme
,
by
reason
of
multitude
of
raine
.
Constitution
of

moist

for
the
moisture
of
the

Aire
heaps
up
phlegmatick
superfluities
.
The

of

,

Liquors
.
A

The

whitish

sometimes
of

,
the
face
somewhat
swoln
,
and
the
whole
habit
of
the
body
vast
and
over-grown
with
fat
,
forasmuch
as
grose
and
fat
folk
are
cold

phlegmatick
;
for
fat
is
alwayes
generated
by
the
refrigeration
of
the

.
The

narrow
passaged
,
because
they

The

for

Plenty
