The prediction of the maners and natures of men, by considerynge of theyr face and other partes of theyr body.
¶Of the iudgement of the head.
SEynge that the head is the part that is most séene of al the parts of mans bodye, Hypocrates in his .vj. booke of common sicknesses, not without cause sheweth how to iudge of the whole bodye by the consideration of the head. For that which is either grea∣ter or lesser then it oughte to bee is al∣wayes faultie and not good, and they that haue this faulte or lacke, haue also those thinges that do euidently appar∣tain to the faulty & hurted myndes. And now euen as the head whiche is litle, is neuer without faulte, so that whiche is great, is not altogether parfite and good: but sometyme good and somtime yll. It is a signe of goodnes or of wickednes.
