Chap. 57. Signs of a hot and moist Tem∣perature.
A Hot and moist Temper is soft, warm and Fleshy, and is indeed (if it be equally mixed) the best temper of all, and yet the Body where heat and moisture exceed the due proportion is soon surprized with Dis∣eases of Putrefaction, and as readily molested with vi∣ciousness of Humors: If heat exceed moisture, the Bo∣dy is but little softer than a due Temperature, but much hotter, they are pretty hairy, very Fleshy but not fat, and their Hair is usually blackish; but if moisture ex∣ceed heat, they have much Flesh, a good colour, their Body is smoother and not so hot in feeling.
By the like Rules in all Compound Temperatures, you may know which of the first qualities is most Pre∣dominate, and how much also it excels.
