CHAP. VIII. Of the signs of the constitution of the Lungs.

THose who have hot Lungs do much dilate their brests in breathing, they are thirsty, * 1.1 and the thirst is not allayed unless it be in long time, and with cold things.

Cold Lungs are much hurt by breathing in of cold air, * 1.2 the respiration in those who have cold Lungs is little hot, that is less cold, and is a friend to breathing; also in cold Lungs many excrements are gathered together, which are sometimes cast out by coughing, sometimes by spitting only.

Dry Lungs-collect not many excrements, * 1.3 and there∣fore hath no need to cast up any by cough or spittle.

Moist Lungs on the contrary gather many excrements and therefore between whiles in speaking, * 1.4 'tis necessary to spit often.

The woice also is shewen by the constitution of the Lungs and Wind-pipe, * 1.5 a great voice and vehemency of efflation shews a wide Wind-pipe, and heat of the Lungs; a small voice shews the contrary; the Wind-pipe rightly constituted, causeth a smooth even voice; a sharp voice but joined with clearnesse, signifies driness of the Wind∣pipe, a sharp voice with hoarsness, and obscurity proceeds from a plentiful humor moistning the Arteries, and ra∣ther belongs to a preter-natural constitution then a na∣tural; a sharp voice shewes narrowness of the throat, and consequently coldness of the Wind pipe; on the contra∣ry a great voice shewes wideness of the top of the Wind∣pipe, and therefore signifies heat strong from their infancy.
