¶Of the teeth.

WHen the teeth that bée lyke Dogges teeth, bée long and fast, and that they stycke oute of the mouth, it is a sygne of a glotton, sub∣iecte to angre, wicked and a foole.

Weake teeth thynne and smale, de∣clare all the bodye to bée weake, and the lyfe of the manne to bee shorte and weake. The sownde made wyth the teeth betokeneth follye or lacke of wytte, whyche thynge happeneth sometyme to Chyldren sleepynge, whyche is a token of Wormes.

Greate and broade teeth, apparente eyther wythin, or wythoute, sygnifye vanitie in a man, slouthe, simplicitie, but yet a good wytte.

Some saye that is is signe of a grosse wytte, procedynge from grosse hu∣mours: the téeth that bée extreme drye altogether without moysture, signifie in a sicke man death, and in a health∣full man they shewe a sicknes verye nigh at hande, for the moyst roote sée∣meth to be cōsumed. And the bodies of suche men are as a lampe withoute Oyle: y^e téeth that be full of reume sig∣nifie a fault of the head, or elles of the stomacke, through the communica∣tyng of the head and the lunges, which becauses of a descendyng or runnyng at the nose (which goeth by the throte) of coughing or quinseys, and of swel∣lyng in the throte. Beastes that haue theyr teeth gagged lyke a sawe drinke lyckynge: but those that haue them vniforme and euen drynke suppyng.
