The castel of helth gathered and made by Syr Thomas Elyot knyghte, out of the chiefe authors of physyke, wherby euery manne may knowe the state of his owne body, the preseruatio[n] of helthe, and how to instructe welle his physytion in syckenes that he be not deceyued

Of the complexion of Man. Cap. 2.

COmplexion is a combynation of two dy∣uers qualities of the foure elementes in one body, as hotte & drye of the Fyre: hote and moyste of the Ayre, colde and moyste of the Water, colde and drye of the Erth. But although all these complexions be assembled in euery body of man and woman, yet the body ta¦keth his denomination of those qualities, which abounde in hym, more thanne in the other, as hereafter inseweth,

BEsides the sayde complexions of all the hole bodye, there be in the particular mem¦bres, complexions, wherin yf there be any distemperaunce, it bryngeth syckenesse or griefe into the member.

☞ Of humours.

IN the body of Man be foure pryncipal hu¦mours, which continuynge in the propor∣cion, that nature hath lymitted, the body is free frome all syckenesse. Contrary wise by the increase or diminution of any of theym in quantitie or qualitie, ouer or vnder theyr natu∣rall assignement, inequall temperature commeth into the bodye, whiche sickenesse foloweth more or lasse, accordyng to the lapse or decaye of the temperatures of the sayd humours, whiche 〈◊〉〈◊〉 these folowynge.

• Bloudde,
• Fleume,
• Choler,
• Melancholy

¶ Bloudde hath preeminence ouer all other hu¦mours in susteynynge of all lyuynge creatures, for it hath more conformitie with the originalle cause of lyuynge, by reason of temperatenes i•• heate and moysture, also nouryssheth more the body, and restoreth that which is decayed, being the very treasure of lyfe, by losse wherof, dethe immedyately foloweth. The distemperature of bloud hapneth by one of the other thre humors, by the inordinate or su{per}fluous mixture of them.

Of fleume.

¶ Fleume is of two sortes,

• Naturall and
• Vnnaturall.

¶ Naturall fleume is a humour colde & moyst, whyte and swete, or without taste ingendred by insufficient decoction in the seconde digestion of the watry or rawe partes of the matter decocte

called Chilus, by the last digestyon made apt to be conuerted into bloud. In this humour, wa∣ter hath dominion most princypall.

¶ Fleume vnnaturall is that, whiche is myxte with other humours, or is altered in his quali∣tie. And therof is .viii. sondry kyndes

Fleume.

• watry, which is founden in spettil of great drinkers, or of them, whi∣che dygeste ylle.
• Slymy or rawe.
• Glasy, lyke to whyte glasse, thicke, viscouse lyke byrd lyme and heuye.
• Plastry, which is very grosse, and as it were chalky, such is found in the ioyntes of theyin, whiche haue the gowte.
• Salt, which is mingled with coler.
• Sower, myxt with melancoly, whi¦che cometh of corrupt dygestion.
• Harshe, thycke and grosse, whiche is seldome founden, whiche tasteth lyke grene crabbes or sloes. * 1.3
• Stiptik or binding, is not so grosse nor cold, as harshe, & hath the taste lyke to greene redde wyne, or other lyke, straynynge the tu••ge.

¶ Choler doth participate with naturall heate as longe as it is in good temperance. And ther∣of is also two kyndes,

• Naturall and
• Vnnaturall.

Choler naturall.

¶ Naturall choler is the fome of bloudde, the colour wherof is redde and clere, or more lyke to an orenge colour, and is hote and drye, wher∣in the fyre hath dominion, & is light and sharpe, and is ingendred of the most subtyll part of matter decocte, or boyled in the stomacke, whose be gynnynge is in the lyuer.

¶ Vnnaturall choler is that which is myxte o•• corrupted with other humours, wherof be foure kyndes,

• Citrine or yelowe choler, whiche is of the myxture of natural choler, and wa∣try fleume, and therfore hath lesse heat then pure choler.
• Yelky, lyke to yelkes of egges, whiche is of the myxture of fleume congeled, and choler naturall, & is yet lasse hotte than the other.
• Grene lyke to lekes, whose begynnyng is rather of the stomak, thā of the lyuer
• Grene lyke to grene canker of mettall, and bourneth lyke venym, and is of ex∣cedynge adustion of choler or fleume, & by these two kyndes nature is mor∣tifyed.

¶ Melancoly or blacke coler is de∣uided into two kyndes.

• Naturall, which is the dregges of pure bloude, and is knowen by the blaknes, whan it issueth eyther downewarde or vpwarde, and is veryly cold and drye.
• Vnnaturalle, whiche procedeth of the

• adustion of cholerike myxture, and is ho••ter & lyg••ter, hauynge in it vyolence to kyll, with a dangerous disposytion.

〈◊〉〈◊〉 the members.

The seconde Table.

THynges not naturall be so called, bycause they be no por••yon of a naturall body, as they be, w••iche be callyd naturall thyn∣ges, but yet by the temperance of theym the body beynge in helthe, so consysteth by the dis••emp••tance of them, syckenesse is induced, & the body dessolued.

¶ The fyrste of thynges not naturall is ayre, whiche is proprely of it selfe, or of some mate∣riall

cause or occasion good or yll.

¶ That which is of it selfe good, hath pure va ••ours, and is o••oriferous.

¶ Also it is of it selfe, swyft in alteration from hotte to colde, wherin the body is not moch pro∣uoked to sweate for heate, ne to chylle for vehe∣mency of colde.

¶ Ayre among al thynges not natural is chief∣ly to be obserued, forasmoch as it doth both in∣close vs, & also enter into our bodyes, specially the most noble member, which is the hart, & we can not be separate one howre frome it, for the necessitie of breathyng and fetchyng of wynde,
