IF moisture together with heat predominate at the Heart, the Mans Breast is not so tough nor hairy, they are quick enough to anger and Action, but not so cruel in their anger as if driness prevail, their Pulse is great, soft, swift, and frequent: If the Breast be large they draw their Breath very deep, if narrow, very thick, and their experation or letting out their Breath, is done with more swiftness than their inspiration or drawing in their Breath, such Bodies are mighty subject to Dis∣eases of Putrefaction of Humors.
