'The figns of a Sanguine Perfon* IThirtkitmanifeft, becaufethe matter and generation of flelb is principally; from blood, that a man of a flefhy, denfe, and folid habit of body, and full of a fweet and vaporous juice, is of a Sanguine complexion. And the fame party hath’a flourilhing and rofie colour in his face, tem¬ pered with an equal mixture of white and red •, of white, by reaibn of the skin lying-utmoft i of red, becaufe of the blood fpread underneath the skin: for always fuch as the humor is, fuch is the colour in the face. In manners he is curious, gentle, eafie to be fpoken to, not altogether eftranged from the love of women, of a lovely countenance and fmooth forehead, feldom angry, but taking all things in good part •, for as the inclination of humors is, fo alfo is the difpofition of manners. But blood is thought the mildeft of all humors*, but the ftrong heat of the inward parts maketh him to eat and drink freely. Their dreams are pleafant, they are troubled with difeafes arifing from blood, as fre¬ quent Phlegmons and many fanguine puftles breaking through the skin, much bleeding, and men- ilruous fluxes. Wherefore they can well endure blood-letting, and delight in the moderate ufe of cold and dry things i and laftly, are offended by hot and moift things. They have great and ftrong Pulfe, and much urine in quantity, but mild of quality, and of an indifferent colour and fubftance. .. The figns of a Choleric Perfon, CHoleric men are of a pale or yellowiffi color, of a lean, flender and rough habit of body, with fair veins and large Arteries, and a ftrong and quick^ulfe: their skin being touched, feels hot, dry, hard, rough and harfti, with a pricking and acid exhalation which breaths forth of their whole body. They caft forth much choler by ftool, vomit, and urine. They are of a quick and nimble wit,ftout,hardy and (harp vindicators of received injuries,liberal even to prodigality,and fome- what too defirous of glory. Their fleep is light,and from which they are quickly waked: their dreams are fiery, burning, quick, and full of fury ^ they are delighted with meats and drinks which are fome- what more cold and moift, and are fubjed to Tertian and burning feavers, the Phrenfie, Jaundife, Inflammations, and other Choleric puftles, the Lask, Bloody flux, and bittemefs of the mouth. • j The figns of a Phlegmatic Perfon, THofe in whom Phlegm hath the dominion, are of a whitifh coloured face, and fometimes livid and fwollen, with their body fat, foft, and cold to touch. They are molefted with Phlegmatic difeafes, as Oedematous tumours, the Dr.opfie, Quoti¬ dian feavers, falling away of the hairs, and Catarrhs falling down upon the Lungs, and the AJpera Arteriaj or Weafon: they are of a flow capacity, dull, flothful, drowfie j they do dream of rains, fnows, floods, fwiming, and fuch like, that they often imagine themfelves overwhelmed with waters i they vomit up much watery and Phlegmatick matter, or otherwife fpit and evacuate it, and have a foft and moift tongue. And they are troubled wiili u ^g-likp hunger, if at any time it fhould happen that their infipid Phlegm become acid *5 and they are flow of digeftiox*k, by reafon of which they have great ftore of cold and Phlegmatic humors > which if they be carried down into the windings of the Colic-gut, they eaufe murmuring and noife, and fometimes the Colic. Formuch windiseafily caufedof fuch like Phlegmatic excrements wrought upon by afmalland weak heat, fuch as Phlegmatic perfons have, which by its natural lightnefs is diverfly carried through the turnings of the guts, and diftends and fwells them up, and whiles it ftrives for paflage out, it caufeth murmurings and noifes in the belly, like wind breaking through narrow paflages. Signs of a Melancholic Perfon, THe face of Melancholy perfons is fwart, their countenance cloudy and often cruel, their af- fped is fad and frowardi frequent Scirrhus or hard fwellings, tumors of the Spleen, He¬ morrhoids, Varices (or fwollen Veins) Quartan feavers, whether continual or intermitting j Qiun- tan. Sextan, and Septiman feavers: 'and to conclude, all fuch wandering feavers or agues fet upon them. But when it happens, the Melancholy humor is Iharpened, either by aduftion, or commix¬ ture of Choler, then Tetters, the black Morphew, the Cancer Ample and ulcerated, the Leprous and filthy fcab, fending forth certain fcaly and branlike excrefcences, (being vulgarly called St. ManU his evil *0 and the Leprofie it felf invades them *, They have fmall veins and arteries, becaufe coldnefs hath dominion over them *, whofe property is to ftraiten, as the quality of heat is to dilate. But if at any time their veins feem big, that largenefs is not by reafon of the laudable blood contained in them, but from much windinefs *, by occafion whereof it is fomewhat difficult to let them blood j not only, be¬ caufe that when the vein is opened, the blood flows flowly forth, by reafon of the cold flownefs of the humors, but much the rather, for that the vein doth not receive the impreffion of the Lancet, Aiding this way and that way, by reafon of the windinefs contained in it, and becaufe that the harlh drinels of the upper skin, refifts the edge of the inftrument. Their bodies feem cold and hard to the touch, and they are troubled with terrible dreams, for they are obferved to feem to fee in the night Devils, Serpents, dark dens and caves, fepulchres, dead corpfes, and many other fuch things full of horror, by reafon of a black vapor, diverfly moving and difturbing the brain, which alfo we fee happens to thofe who ^ fear the water, by reafon of the biting of a tnad Dog. Y ou ftiall find them froward, fraudulent, parfimonious, and covetous even to bafenefs, flow fpeakers, fearful, lad, complainers, careful, ingeni¬ ous, lovers of folitarinels,man-haters, obftinate maintainers of opinions once conceived, flow to anger, but angred not to be pacified. But when Melancholy hath exceeded natures and its own bounds, then by reafon of putrefadlion and inflammation all things appear full of extreme fury and madnefs, fo that they often caft themfelves headlong down from fome high place, or are Otherwife guilty of their own death, with fear of which notwithftanding they are terrified. But
