Fo02 afurther knowledge, knot belive, that after Avicen,
There be foure humors in mans body,Bloud,Flegme,Cho~
and Melancholie,as is faide.

The beft of chem is Bloud : Firft,becaufe itis che matter "
of mans fpirits, in whom confifteth mans life & operations, ^.^ oh
Secondly, becaufe itis céfortable tothe principles ofmans *
life, it is temperately hore and moyft, Thirdly, becaufe it re-
ftorech and nourifheth the bodie,more then the other hu-
mors, And it is called the treafüre of Nature: Forifitbe
loft, Death followeth forthwith,

Nextto bleud in goodnes ; is Flegme, Firft, by reafon
that if neede be,it is apt cobe turned into bloud,

Secondly ,becaufe itis very neere like humiditie, which
is asthe foundation of life,

After Flegmein goodnes,isCholer, whichis partner with
naturall heate,fo long as itkeepeth conuenient meafure,

Then followeth Melancholy,as dregs and durte,remoo-
ued apart,from the principalles of life,as enemietoioy and
liberalitie,and of neere kindred to ageand death.
