IF the distemperance bee of bloud, helpe it with things cold, sharpe and drie: for bloud is moyst, hot, and swéete. If it be of red choler, giue things cold, moyst, and swéete: for red choler is bitter and firie. If it bee of blacke choler, giue things hot, moyst, and swéete: for blacke choler is sharp and cold. If the disease be of salt fleume, giue things swéete, hot, and drie: thus sayth Soranus. Notwithstan∣ding,
where there is abundance of colde fleume not mixt with choler, there things very sharp and hot be most con∣nenient, as tart vineger with hot Roses, and séedes, or wines, strong and rough honey being sodden in the one and the other: or where choler is mixt with fleume, syrupe acetose made with vineger and sugar boyled, sometime with hearbes, rootes, or séedes, which may dissolue fleume, and digest it.
