Of effectes of the mind. CAP. 10.
THe last of thinges called not naturall, is not the least part to be considered, the which is of affects and pas∣sions of the mind. For if they bee immoderate, they doe not only annoy the body and shortē the life, but also they doe appayre, and somtime loose vtterly a mans estimati∣on. And that much more is, they bring a man frō the vse of reason, and sometime in the displeasure of Almightie God. Wherefore they doe not onely require the helpe of Phisicke corporall, but also the connsaile of a man wise and well learned in morall Philosophie.
descriptionPage 96
Wherefore after I haue recited what they be, I will briefly declare such counsailes as I haue gathered. And as concerning remedy of phisicke, sauing a few simples, which do comfort the heart and spirits, the residue I will remit to the counsaile of Phisitions, like as I haue done in euacuation. Affects of the mind whereby the body is annoyed, doe bring in sicknesse be these, Ire or wrath, heauines or sorrow, gladiles or reioysing.
