Culpeper.

I shall here for the benefit of yong Students intermix my Comment with the Text.

Whereas Galen saith, a good Constitution consists of heat, cold, driness, and moisture, equally tempered, you must not imagine they are so all over the Body, but according to place, for the Heart is and should be hot∣ter than the Brain, &c. but each part exceeds not its due proportion in these, the Brain is not hotter, colder, drier, nor moister than it should be, judg so by the Heart, Liver, &c. and beleeve me such a man is a rare Bird to find, almost as rare as a Phaenix.
