The signes of a Sanguine Person.

I Think it manifest, because the matter and generation of flesh is principally from blood, that a man of a fleshy, dense, and solid habit of body, and full of a sweet and vaporous juice, is of a Sanguine complexion. And the same party hath a flourishing and rosie colour in his face, tem∣pered with an equal mixture of white and red; of white, by reason of the skin lying utmost; of red, because of the blood spread underneath the skin: for always such as the humor is, such is the colour in the face. In manners, he is curious, gentle, easie to be spoken to, not altogether estranged from the love of women, of a lovely countenance and smooth forehead, seldom angry, but taking all things in good part; for as the inclination of humors is, so also is the disposition of manners. But blood is thought the mildest of all humors; but the strong heat of the inward parts maketh him to eat and drink freely. Their dreams are pleasant, they are troubled with di∣seases arising from blood, as frequent Phlegmons, and many sanguine pustles breaking through the skin, much bleeding, and menstruous fluxes. Wherefore they can well endure blod-letting, and delight in the moderate use of cold and dry things; and lastly, are offended by hot and moist things. They have a great and strong Pulse, and much urine in quantity, but milde of quality, of an indifferent colour and substance.
