The cause of good and euill colours.
A good colour commeth of a good complexion, and an euill colour doth come of an euill complexion, as by sicknesse or a sodein feare, or anger, or malice, or by extreme heat or colde, and by great labour or dronkennes, and such like causes.
A remedy.
First I doe say that phisicke can not helpe none of all these impedimentes, except it do come by sicknes. And the most of the other doth come by nature, & that thing that nature doth giue to man, no Phisicion can take it away, how be it in di∣uers infirmities many & expert Phisicions may mitigate the paine for a time, but they can not clerely take it away, for this matter looke in the Chapter named Cutis, and vse good meate, bread and drinke.
For Collum, which is ye necke of man, looke in the second booke named the Extrauagantes in the end of this booke.
