Although the temperaments of the brain as to de-» greesof quality, are aimoft innumera‘ blc, yet they are reduced to nine more general, the figns of which I wiil demom [Irate in few words. (157) CHAP. V. How to dzfcem therempemmmt of the BRAIN. N the fitl’r place take the fignes of a temperate Brain , which are thefe: The poiTelTors thereof are not ofiended with heat,cold, moifiure, or dtinefs, pro- cured from external caufes; they alfo en- joyintire fences , molt apt to learn all Difcipline and good Art's , nor are they hallily precipitated into paflions and per— turbations of mind; their dreams are few and pleafant , fometi’mes they dream of flying, becaufe their bodies, incumbred with no excrements , feem indued with vety great levity and agility ., fometimes they dream of Stars, and fuch like {plen- did things , the colour of fuch perfons hair (if they livein temperate Regions ) whiles they .are children , is yellowilhs when they are men, a deep yellow 3 then alfo the hair of their heads becomes curl— ed, in age they wax hoary flowly , and are feldom bald.

II. Signs of a hot Brain, When heat predominates, the Head is hot in feeling, the parts about the head are ho: and rude dy, the eyes are red and quick in motion, the veins confpicuous,hair begins togtow upon the head prefently after Nativity, and encreafe apace; fuch asvfar exceed temperate perfons in heat , have black curled hair on their heads , which in age. doth (bed, and caufe baidnefs: Superfiui- ties of their paliats , nofirils, eyes and ears are few, their Heep is fhort, and no: deep; their heads a‘re offended. with hot meats, pocions and odours, {0 much the mor ”if thefe things be naturally hot : Pu], e and Refpitation is quicker then in perfons poflefled of a temperate Brain; they excel in memory , are agile in their aétions, prone to math and venery, and enjoy perfeé’c fences. ‘ ‘ III.

V. Signs of adry Brain.
