Also whan he eteth gladly & with good ap∣petyte of butter / chese / & flawnes without le¦uynge any thynge in his dysshe to sende to the almesse house. Also whan he slepeth well & suerly without rauynge or dremynge of his besynes. Also whan he feleth hym lyght: and that he walketh wel. And whan he sweteth soone / and that he nyseth lytell or nothynge. Also whan he is nouther to fatte nor to lene. Also whan he hath good coloure in his face / and that his wyttes ben all wel disposed for to do theyr operacion / as his iyen for to se / his eres to here / his nose to smell. &c. ¶ And I le∣ue of the conuenaunce of aege / the disposicion of the body / & also of tyme. Of other sygnes I say no thynge: but these most suffyse for the pore lay people / to know the sygnes of helth.
