WHan the vryne cometh that hathe great contentes / as it were quetor after the castynge of the vryne / yf the vryne stynke more than it shulde do of kynde / it betokeneth peyne in th● raynes and in the splenne . And yf this Quet or stynke not it betokeneth peyne on the lyuer & badde degestyon . ¶ Blode and it be clere and pure it betokeneth brekynge of a veyne in the lyuer / yf it be lytell with a stronge sauour and ly in gobettes in the botome it cometh fro the bladder / yf it be spotted as blode and reed than th● peyne is in the raynes and in the share / yf it be clere & black ysshe than the peyne is in the backe & in the share and aboute the bladder . ¶ Rawe humours is a contente of the vryne whiche thou shall knowe thus . If the vryne after his castynge flete full of framell motes / the whiche come of the resydence of the botom / or in in the mydde regyon / than in the vryne be rawe humours .

And yf they be in the botome the peyne is in the reynes / & somtyme it is in th● codde . ¶ Fat heed without Axcys betokeneth wastynge of grece aboute the fundiment .

It standeth in the botom brode byneth & sharpe vpwarde . If this content be whyte & brode in the botom and sharpe vpwarde without brekynge & longe lastynge it betokeneth that the seke is worse than he was . If it be broken or haue in the myddes orels aboute in the partyes it betokeneth that th● seke man is colde in the lyuer and it may not defy . And it be in the myddes / than it is called Neptilis and it betokeneth badde degestyon and lengthe of sekenesse . And it be blacke it betokeneth destruccyon of kynde and dethe .

NNow haue I shewed you the substaunce of vryns / th● colours / the regyons / & the contentes bylongyng to vryns . And now wyll I shewe the the compleccyons . If the vryne be thycke and reed / than it betokeneth blode . And yf it be reed and thynne than it betokeneth colour . And it be thycke & whyte it betokeneth flewme . And it be whyte and thynne than it betokeneth malancoly . And yf thou knowe the compleccyons by the cost of the vryne / loke yf it be swete / than it betokeneth blode . If it be sowre it betokeneth coloure . And it be whyte without sauour as water / it betokeneth flewme . And it be salt it betokeneth malancoly .

¶ How the compleccyons be gendred .

IF thou wyl knowe where these compleccyons be gendred in a mannes body / I say that coloure is gendred in the lyuer / and his dwellynge is in the cofer of the gall . Blode is gendred in the lyuer / and his dwellynge is in the veynes . Flewme that is naturall is engendred in the lyuer / and it hathe no proper dwellynge / & therfore he is medled with the blode to make the blode rennynge . Malancoly is gendred in the lyuer / and his propre dwellynge place is in the splenne . Malancoly and flewme kepe the botom of the vrynall .

¶ How thou shall dyscerne mannes vryne fro womans vryne / and beestes vryne fro the vryne of man and woman .

THus I wyll that thou vnderstande that yf there be ony drobled in mannes vryne it sheweth in the myddes of the vryne / and in the womannes vryne it doth not so . Another is this the frothe after the castynge of mannes vryne it shal be longe / and of a womans after th● castynge it shal be rounde . These .ii. last tokens Auycence saythe . ¶ Now beestes water fro mannes water . Beestes water is the sadder and more supple of compleccyon . Also the beestes water swelleth more than the mannes . Another medle the vryne of a beest with a mannes vryne / and they shall parte asondre . And it be a Cowe th● is with calfe / it is good to know fro a woman that is with chylde / for the drestes or th● contentes of the Cowes vryne is moche greater than the vryne of a woman / in asmoche as the woman is lesse and fayrer of compleccyon than the Cowe is . ¶ If thou wyll knowe the fyrst water & the seconde / the godheed sheweth whyther he be in great etynge and drynkynge / and than the fyrst water is greater in quantyte or lesse stynkynge than th● seconde / orels yf he lyue mesurably / than the fyrst shal be more thyck than the other . ¶ Now haue I tolde the of the substaunce with the colours of the vryns and compleccyons / and to knowe mannes vryne and womans with chyldes fro the vryne of beestes .

¶ Here foloweth the veray knowlege of all vryns .
