Which humours are predominant in the night season, and which in the day time?

Euery one humour reigneth sixe houres. Bloud is predominant from nine a clock in the night, vntill three a clock in the mor∣ning. Choler from three a clock in the morning, till nyne. Melancholye ruleth from nine a clock in the morning, till three in the euening. Lykewyse fleagme

gouerneth, from three in the euening, vntill nine a clock at night. So that fleagme and me∣lancholie doe raigne at night: and bloud and cholér in the daie time. Also bloud hath his dominion in the spring time; choler in the summer; melancholy in Autumne; & fleagme in winter. For which respectes, I aduise you (if perchaunce you fall into a disease) to mark well, in the beginning of your sicknesse, the houre and humour then raigning that there∣by you may the sooner finde out remedie. In conclusion, you must consider of the criticall daies: in which, great alteratiōs either towards your recouerie, or towards your further sick∣nesse, will ensue. Most commonly the criticall daie happneth the seauenth the fourteenth, the one and twentieth, or the eight and twen∣tieth daie frō the beginnnig of your sicknesse. Notwithstanding according to the course of the Moone, the fourth daie, the eleauenth, the seauenteenth, and the foure and twen∣tieth daie from the beginning of your sick∣nesse will foretell you, whether you shall a∣mende or waxe worse.
