Chap. 64. Of ill Temperatures commixed in the Stomach.

IF you fear a Commixture of Distemperatures in your Stomach, compare them with the Simple tempers and you may easily find out what they be, neither would I have you mind the Stomach alone, but also o∣ther parts of the Body, for 'tis not the Stomach alone which makes men thirsty, but somtimes the Heart or Lungues, which by drawing in air that is too hot and retaining it long, cause heat in the Breast, and such de∣sire drink no less than such whose Stomach is too hot, but you may distinguish it thus, If the Breast be too hot, the thirst is not ••laid by drinking, and less quen∣ched by drinking cold drink than by drinking hot; al∣so

the Breathing in of cold air easeth such whose Breast is hot, but doth no good at all to such whose Stomach is hot, by these notes then you may distingnish them.
