A68187	The contemplation of mankinde contayning a singuler discourse after the art of phisiognomie, on all the members and partes of man, as from the heade to the foote, in a more ample maner than hytherto hath beene published of any. In the place next after the chapter of the forehead, hath the phisiognomer added a proper treatise of the signification of sundrie lines seene in most mens foreheads: which in sundrie disputations with a skilfull Iew, he at the last obtayned. ... In the ende is a little treatise added of the signification of moles ... written by a worthie Grecian named Melampus. All which, englished by Thomas Hyll.	Hill, Thomas, b. ca. 1528.; Cocles, Bartolommeo della Rocca, 1467-1504. Chyromantie ac physionomie anastasis.; Malampus, 3rd cent. B.C. Peri elaiōn sōmatos.

lightly credyting of a dyuers vnderstanding suspicious enuious a coueter of other mens goodes and a lyar The téeth formed bigge and broade whether these declyne or stande in and out or that they appeare thicke or thinne set doe wytnesse after M. Scotus such a person to be vaine lightly credyting simple of a tender capacitie a grosse féeder lasciuious and a lyar The teeth decerned strong and thick set doe indicate as Michael reporteth long life in that creature to be a teller of newes selfe willed a stowte person lightly credyting desirous of bewtifull things and of a dull capacitie The téeth decerned weake fewe in number thinne set and small doe indicate after M. Scotus such a person to be weake of body shortlyued gentle shamefast tractable trustie lightly credyting of a ready capacitie and warie these hitherto borowed out of the Phisiognomie of M. Scotus Of the condicion and iudgement of the tongue The. xxvii chapter THe tongue is a member which is extended out of whyte fleshe both harde and well mouing and this the colour and vse of it declareth the rednesse which consisteth in it is caused of many small veynes and little arteries which procéede and come vnto it especially vnto the neather part of the same through which this appeareth in the neather part redder than in the vpper and this is knowne to be a spungie matter full of powers For experience instructeth vs that the same is bloudie in consideration that the solution of the continuitie of the same is onlye cured in shorte tyme with the simple Rosed Hony. The tongue not onely serueth for the cleane and perfite vttering of wordes in smyting the teeth to cause the sounde of them in the issuing forth but the same also helpeth to distinguishe all maner of tastes yea the letters perfitely to expresse as the learned Aristotle vttereth The tongue folded or turned downewarde and stutting or stammering doth argue an humorall laske of the belly as the worthie Hypocrates reporteth in 32. Aphoris sextae secto Such encombred with this humorall laske become stutters or stammerers through the matter descending from the head which entreth and is drunke into the Spungynesse and lacertes of the tongue and of this ingrossed or caused thick through which enlarging the same of necessitie must be shortned So that of the same cause such stut or stammer yea Rasis reporteth that the stammering dothannuate the moystnesse of qualitie Somethere be which are caused to stut of nature of which that noble Phisition Aetius wryteth Such hauing the tongue tyed before cannot perfitly vtter or pronounce the letter S ▪ but sound the same like God and such of the singuler Aetius are named proper stammerers The tongue tyed behinde cannot pronounce the letters R and T. as Galen reporteth but breaking the letter R. sounde the same lyke to the letter L. and such of him are aptly named lyspers The flixe named Diarrhaea is a flixe or laske of the belly with the onely shedding of humour without an inflamation or exulceration when the humours especially discende from the heade So that when any vttereth the wordes with difficultie it is then a note of Diarrhaea to molest that creature With which disease the Phisiognomer reporteth hymselfe to haue bene encombred in childe age for as much as in many subiectes this sicknesse much molesteth and aboundeth in that age but growne vnto ryper yeares the same then seaseth The stammerers sayth the Phisiognomer doe manye tymes feare to drinke anye headdy Wine in that these are so soone dronke through the weakenesse of braine Hereof it is that the dronkarde so stammereth and maffleth in the mouth that he readily can not bring forth thys common worde or number as thirtie thrée in no maner For as much as the vapours of the Wine are dronke into the Spungynesse of the tongue of which this is enlarged and hindered of the naturall site When the tongue is discerned grosse bigge and large doth argue a rude wit as the Phisiognomer manye times noted this also doth represent flewmatike humours to consist in the braine of that creature or in the other partes of his bodye The learned Conciliatore reporteth that the stammering and often repeating of the fore sillable and worde before the full vttering and speaking of the worde doth denote such a creature to be prepared and prone vnto the Melancholie qualitie The tongue by a swift motion drawne togither and through the corrupting and breaking of the wordes causing a repiticion doth witnesse such a person to be foolishe hastie in wrath and yrefull This especially caused through the mouablenesse and hotnesse of the spirites hastening forwarde the vtteraunce and pronouncing of wordes without consideration When the tongue shall be discerned so heauie as a stone and in a maner appearing immouable doth denote after the minde of the Philosopher a sluggishe person slowe in actions and of a dull capacitie The tongue discerned thinne doth represent a subtill wyt through the decent matter both of the humour and spirite although the same may declare a hote and peraduenture a Chollericke qualitie after the minde of the Phisiognomer Ptholomie the Philosopher vttereth that the tongue decerned long and red to signifie wisedome for as much as the same witnesseth lawdable humours to consist in that creature In kysses by report of the Phisiognomer may much be knowne and found For a certaine creature I sawe sayth he which thrust forth the tongue nigh a paulme bredth and the same sundrie times experienced in my sight as a matter of admyration and worthie to be noted And of this is knowne to the wise that the vertue of the muscles to be voluntarie c. The tongue séene whyte in colour doth indicate pouertie and myserie to insue to that creature except mightier notes preuayle as the singuler Philosopher Ptholomeus Paruus reporteth The learned Conciliatore wryteth that the tongue decerned as the same infected of the naturall colour doth denote a weake estate euill condition to consist in that person especially of the breast and belly The person which hath such a long grosse and rounde tongue that with the same thrust forth he may easily licke the Nose doth witnesse suche a person after nature to imitate the Oxe in conditions as the same the Phisiognomer diligently noted in a neighbour of his The learned Auerrois in de sensu sensato vttreth that when the tongue hath drunke in and receyued certaine humors the taste of the same is then corrupted and like is to be conceyued of the instruments of the other senses The tongue ouerfast speaking as reporteth Michael Scotus doth denote such a person to bée more simple than wyse of a dull witte and vnderstanding lightly crediting and conuertible eyther vnto the good or euill The tongue that stutteth in the vttering of wordes sayth Michael Scotus doth indicate such a person to be verie simple vaine vnconstant yrefull yet from his yre easily brought and appease● and willing to serue The tongue as reporteth Michael

formed doth witnesse by the report of the Phisiognomer a foolish person and vnapt to learne The necke decerned so louse that the same séemeth to leane vnto the one side doth innuate such a creature to harme those that are not able to resist wilfull and deceytfull as the learned Conciliatore reporteth Such that aboute the ioynt of the necke aboue are séene ouer fleshie be those which haue the knot bearing out and the neck hardly moouing and be also without féeling to exercise the same orderly yea such are knowne to be dull vnapt to exercise good workes yet these in the euill or wicked actions to do iniuries very prone and forward as afore in another place the Phisiognomer obserued And certaine Apostates and Princes this Cocles sawe and noted that mooued their neckes neuer vnto the right nor left side without the moouing of the whole bodye togither and such were knowne to be double tongued dissemblers and very wicked But such which haue the contrary to this shall you iudge sayth he to be of a contrary disposition that is honest conditioned and gentle of behauiour The necke formed long with a largenesse in the positure doth denote such a person to be yrefull and vnapt to learne applyed for the forme vnto the grunting Sowe The neck decerned bigge and fieshie with a certaine shortnesse doth argue such a person to be a foole and a verie great féeder When a certaine bearing out shal be betwéene the knytting of the shoulder pointes and beginning of the neck that the growing out of the knottes be sharpe doth inoicate such a creature for the more part to be prowde and arregant as the Phisiognomer Cocles obserued and noted many the like The neck declyning or leaning vnto one side doth innuate such a creature to be of a dull capacitie and vnapt to learne The neck bearing to much vpright doth argue that creature not only to be vnapt to learne but high minded and selfe willed and one that will not be admonished of nothing he doth The neck decerned stiffe and as the same were immoueable doth like declare such a person to be vnapt to learne and vndiscréete in his doings by which note for the more part such are knowne to be fooles The difference betwéene the moouing and not moouing of the neck is easily decerned so that the necke appearing fast or stiffe or quick moouing doth witnesse the more foolishnesse to consist in that creature but if the same appeare stiffe and in a maner fixed doth demonstrate dull capacitie and the vnaptnesse to learne That you may not much erre the Phisiognomer doth here discouer and open that there be some which minding to hyde this note in them the rather to beguile the iudger doe vse customably and oftentymes in the daye to rubbe and chafe well their neckes with a warme lynnen cloth whereby these maye moue and turne the heade hyther and thither somewhat the easier in couering by such meanes their foolishnesse As the like note the Phisiognomer obserued in a certaine Citizen of Bononia in Lumbardie which creature besides as he talked manye times smyled to hymselfe So that by this appeareth that the stiffe turning of the necke is a note of the proper foolishnesse to consist in that creature by the report of the Physiognomer The nape of the neck from the ioynt vnto the heade decerned rough doth denote such a person to be verie rude conditioned and luxurious But the whyte neck séene rough doth signifie a Belluine vnderstanding and rude wyt as Conciliatore reporteth in his Rubrick of Phisiognomy The neck bending vpwarde towarde the head doth demonstrate such a creature to be arrogant stubburne in actions and voyde of honestie as the learned Conciliatore in his Phisiognomie vttereth When you shall decerne a loosenesse of the neck with a certayne gathering of the lippes vnto a laughter and that the eyes appeare out of order in the rolling with a certaine lightnesse of countenaunce shewed in the sitting or standing of the creature and a trembling voyce to rest in him doth not only indicate an effeminate minde but euill conditions to consist in hym after the minde of the Phisiognomer The neck decerned bending toward the breast doth innuate such a person to be much encombred with cares and thoughts yea this creature sometimes occupied with niggardship and sometimes moued with that euill vice of malignity The neck also is varied sayth the Phisiognomer according to the knitting of the other members in man. The neck séene bowing downewarde as the learned Conciliatore in his Phisiognomie writeth doth indicate a foolishe person a niggarde frowarde at tymes and knowne he is to be neyther simple nor of an vpright minde The neck decerned leaning vnto the right side doth denote such a person to be wyttie of séemely maners and conditions and circumspect in the actions that he attempteth or goeth about But the neck séene leaning vnto the left side doth argue such a creature to be currishe or churlishe rashe in his actions and foolishe as the learned Conciliatore reporteth in his Rubrick of Physiognomie The necke formed strong and very bigge whether the same be of length and that this hardlye turneth doth innuate such a person to bée a gréedie proller and gatherer of goodes togither howsoeuer the same be The necke decerned crooking after the bredth of the bodye as eyther from the right or the left side doth denote suche a creature to be full of wordes deceytfull wily and vnfaythfull as the same the Phisiognomer Cocles obserued in many subiects For which cause this Cocles warneth a man especially to eschew the felowship company of such which of nature are wrte necked haue a drawing in or narrownesse to be decerned betwéene the shoulder poyntes in that these are knowne to be wicked persons enuious fraudulent and hypocrytes as the same the Phisiognomer Cocles obserued in sundrie of the obseruant brothers in his tyme and in many Melancholicke persons The necke formed in a meane maner both in the bignesse and length doth demonstrate such a person to be strong of nature apt to learne and of a singuler witte but these oftentymes are knowne to haue a subtill or craftie witte and to bée deceytfull The condicion and iudgement of the shoulder poyntes The. xxxvi chapter HEre conceyue sayth the Phisiognomer that such persons hauing the shoulder poyntes sufficiently distant from the knottinesse or spondile of the neck which first appeareth aboue the shoulders where the shoulder poyntes or necke are continuated and not to neare ioyned to it are of a good nature and hauing rype or good senses and by the consequent of a good vnderstanding The Philosopher in Methaphoricis vttereth a reason of this saying that the shoulder poyntes beeing sufficiently soluble that is sufficiently distant from the spondile or knottinesse in such maner that the space betwéene them be equall doe denote that such indiuiduates readily receyue that is easily the sensitiue motion For these haue the note or
