The Description of the four Elements and of the four Complexions with the four Seasons of the Year and the twelve Signs for each Month. IN each man and woman reigneth the Planets and every Sign of the Zodiack and every prime Qaulity every Element every Complexion but not in every one alibe for in some men reigneth one more in some reigneth another and therefore men be of divers manners as shall be made apparent 14. Of the four prime Qualities FOur prime Qualities there be that is to say Coloness Heat Driness Moisture which be contraries and therefore they may not come nigh together without a mean for the hotness on the one side bindeth them together and coidness on the other side Also hotnesse and coldnesse are two contraties and therefore they may not come nigh together without a mean for the moistness on the one side bindeth them together and driness on the other Moistness is cause of every thick substance of every swéet tast And there again driness is cause of every thin substance and of every sower stinking saste and also hotness is cause of every red colour and large quantify there again coloness is cause of every white colour and little quantity These four prime Qualities in their combination make the four Elements Aire minst and hot the Fire hot and dry the Earth dry and cold the Water cold and moist The Aire and Earth are two contraries and therefore they may not come nigh together but as fire binds them on the one side and the water on the other side Also Fire and water are two contraries and therefore they may not come nigh together but as the air betwéen them binds on the one side and the earth on the other side The fire is sharp subtil and moveable The Aire is sabtil moveable corpulent and dull The Earth is corpulent and thick The water is moveable corpulent and dull The Earth is corpulent dull and unmodable In the heart of the earth is the Center of the world that is to say the midst point and in every Center is Hell And there again about the Fire are the stars and about them in Heaven Chrysta-line that is to say waters of all blesse departed in nine orders of Angels then is Heaven in the hightest rooms and largest And there again is Hell in the lowest narrowest and straitest place Right as there be four Elements so there he four Complexions according in all manner of qualities to these four Elements The first is Sanguine that is to say blood gendred in the liver limbe like to the air The seeâ—nd is Choler gendred in the Gal and like thereto and it is according to the fire The third is Mâ—â—â—â—â—cholp gendred in the Milt and like to the dregs of blood and it â—ccordeth to the earth The fourth is Flegm gendred in the lungs like to Gall and it accordeth to the Water A Sanguine man much may and much coveteth for he is most hot A Cholerick man much coveteth and little may for he is hot and dry A Melancholiâ—ue man little may and little coveteth for he is dry and cold A Flegmatick man little coveteth and little may for he is cold and moist A Sanguine man is large lovely glad of cheer laughing and ruddy of colour steadfast fleshy right harry mannerly gentle and well nourished A Cholerick man is guileful safe and wrathful traiterous and right hardy small dry and black of colour A Melancholious man is evious sorry covetous hard false guileful dreadful slothful and clear of colour A Flegâ—â—atick man is slumbry sleepy slow sleightful â—humatick dull and hard of wit fat visage and white of colour 15. The year divided with the knowledge of the state of mans Body by Urine IN the year be four quarters ruled by these four Completions that is to say the Spring Summer Harvest and Winter Spring hath three Months that is to say March April May and it is Sanguine complexion Summer hath also three Moneths that is to say June July and August and this Quarter is Cholerick Complexion Harvest hath also three Months that is to say September October and November and this Quarter is melancholious Complexion Winter hath also three Months that is to fay December January and February and this Quarter is flegmatick Complexion Each day also these four complexions reigneth that is to say from three after mid-night to nine reigneth Sanguine and from nine after mid-night to three after mid-day reigneth Choler and from three after mid-day to nine after mid-day reigneth Melancholy and from nine after mid-day to three after mid-night reigneth Flegme Also in the four Quarters of the World reigneth these four Complexions that is to say Sanguins in the East Choler in the South Melancholy in the West and Flegm in â—he North. Also the four Complexions reign in the four Ages of Man that is to say Choler in child-hood Sanguine in man-hood Flegme in Age and Melancholy in old age Child-hood is from the birth to fourteen years full done Man-hood is from thence to Thirty years of age and from thence to fifty years And old age from thence to fourscore years and so forth to death All these four Complexions reign in the four parts of mans body Choler raigneth in all the soulet Limbs from the brest upward Sanguine reigneth in all small Limbs from the Midriff to the Wesand And Flegme reigneth in all nourishing Limbs from the Reins to the Midriffe And Melancholy reigneth in all Limbs from the Reines downward Wherefore every mans Vrine is cast in four that is to say Corkil Superfice middest of the ground every part of the Vrine to his part of Mans body and therefore to four things in every Vrine we must take heed that is to say Substance Quantity Colour and the Content Three Substances there are that is to say Thick Thiu and Middle Thick substance betokeneth very much moistnesss Thin substance betokeneth much drinesse A middle substance betokeneth temperance Also three quantities be in Vrine that is to say much little mean Much quantity betokeneth great cold Little quantity betokeneth great heat Mean quantity betokeneth temperance Also take â—heâ—d to the taste whether it be sweet or not Sweet taste betokeneth health And other taste betokeneth stâ—knesse Also in Vrines be twenty colours of the which the first ten betokeneth cold and the other ten betokeneth heat The ten colours that betoken cold are these The first is black as dark coal and cometh of livid going before The second is like to lead and those two betoken mortification Che third is white as clear water The fourth is lactick like to

to the eyes TAke a burning glass such as men use to light tobacco within the Sun or a spectacle glasse that is thick in the middle such as for the eldest sight and hold this glasse in the Sun as if you would burn through it a past-board or white paper book or such like and draw the glasse from the board or book twice so far as you do to burn wich it so by direct holding it nearer or further as you shall sée best you may behold upon your board paper or book the round body of the Sun and how the Moon passeth between the Glass and the Sun during the whole time of the eclipse Thus thou mayest practise before the time of an eclipse wherein thou shalt discern any Cloud passing under the Sun or by another putting or holding a bullet on his fingers end betwixt the Sun and the Glass at such time the sun shining as thou holdest the glasse as before thou art taught 22. The mind of the Fathers of the Nature of the Fire When the fire sparkleth it betokeneth rain When the Fire giveth much flame or else when a man taketh an Hasten and lifteth it up by the coals and if the coals do hang thereon that betokeneth wind and rain When that cold in the Winter ceaseth And when a man snow findeth If there be dark clouds thereby Then look for rain verily If the Frog in the morning do cry Betokeneth rain great plenty 23. A brief discourse of the natural causes of watery Meteors as Snow Hail Rain c. You must first understand that all watery Meteors as Rain Snow or such like is but a moist vapour drawn up by the vertue of the Sun and the rest of the Planets into the middle region of the aire where being congealed or dissolved falleth upon the earth as Hail or Rain 24. Of the Rain-bow Pliny saith The Rain-bow is made by the Sun-beames striking upon a hollow cloud when their edge is repelled and beaten back against the Sun and thus ariseth variety of colours by the mixture of Clouds Air and fiery Light together But as he saith it pretendeth neither farr nor fowl weather 25. Of Rain Of these kind of Meteors you may read Arist libro primo Meteoro logicorum cap. 1. 2. But briefly Rain is a cold vapour and earthly humour raised from the earth and waters into the middle region of the air where by the extremity of cold it is thickned into the body of a cloud and after being dissolved falleth upon the earth 26. Of Hail Hail is ingendred of Rain congealed into Ice fréezing the drops presently after the dissolving of the cloud whereby we have great irregular Stones fall on the Earth I have séen them in that fashion 1610 contain 4 inches about for the higher it cometh and the longer it tarrieth in the air the rounder it is and the lesser 27. Of Snow Snow is of the same humour that Hail is but not grown together so hard Pliny saith Hail sooner melts than Snow and the Hail cometh oftner in the day than in the night 28. Of Frost and Dew When in the day time through the faint heat of the Sun there is a cold and moist vapour drawn up a little from the earth presently at night it descendeth again upon the earth and is called Dew and in the Spring or Harvest it is a sign of fair weather but if by means of cold it be congealed it is called Frost and therefore Dewes come not so often in hot seasons neither when winds be up but after a calme and clear night Frosts dry up wet and moisture For when as Pliny saith the Ice is melted the like quantity of water in proportion is not found 29. Of Wind. Wind is nothing but many exhalations drawn from the Earth and inforced laterally above the Sun 30. Of Suddain Blasts A windy exhalation being shrown down and encompassed as Pliny saith in a thin course of cloudes newly over cast coming at some time with such a violence as it bursts and cleaves a dry cloud in sunder and makes a storm of the Greeks called Ecnephias but when this cleft is not great but that the windes he forced to turn round and roll in this descent without lighting there is made a whirle puffe or gust called Typhon which is to say The storm Ecnephias sent forth a winding violence and this wind doth bear many things away with it changing from place to place but if the hole in the cloud were great it is called Turbo casting down and overthrowing all that is next it Pliny saith no Ecnephias cometh with Snow nor no Typhon from the South some say Vinegar thrown into this Wind breaks the gust 31. Of Earth-quakes Plenty of windes gotten into the bowels holes and corners of the earth bursting out of the earth and the earth closing again causeth the shaking or Earth-quake and is a token of ensuing war 32. Signes of Earth-quakes When waters in wells or pits be troubled and have a bad savour the long absence of the windes strange noises the obscurity or darknesse of the Sun with clouds and strangely coloured c. 33. Of Thunder and Lightning When an exhalation hot and dry mixt with moisture is carried up into the middle region and there in the body of a cloud Now these two contraries being thus shut or pent in one room together they fall at variance whereby the water and fire agrée not until they have broken the prison wherein they were pent so that fire and water flie out of the Cloud the breaking whereof maketh a noise like the renting af cloth which we call thunder and the fire lightning the thunder being made first but the lightning first séen in respect the sight is before the hearing and of lightnings there be many sorts That which is dry burneth not at all dissipating and dispersing That which is moist burneth not likewise but blasts and alâ—ereth the colour but that which is clear is of a strange operation it draweth vessels dry without hurt to the vessel it melteth mettal in bages or purses and hurteth not the bag or purse nor Wax that sealed the bag hurt it breaketh the bones and hurteth not the flesh and killeth the child in the womb not hurting the mother Pliny saith Scythia by reason of cold and Aegypt by reason of heat have seldome lightning 34. What things be not hurt with Lightning It hurteth not the Lawrel-trée it entreth not past 5 foot into the earth such that are shadowed with the skinnes of Seales or Sea-calves are fréed the Eagle is frée c. Many other wondrous and strange kind of Meteors be there in the heavens often times seen as Comets burning Dragons c. but this volume will not contain an ample discourse thereof 35. Here followeth divers and sundry Rules of excellent use and right necessary to be known of the Husband-man and not onely of him but of all other Persons of what quality soever ANd
