And again, a humor is likewife chen heaped toge- cher in the parts, whenas the food it felt is naught and unwholf{om § for hence i¢ happens chac eicher fo great abundance of excrements arecaufed chat che expulfive faculty cannot caft chem al forth, or elfe that chey are fo ghick chat Nacure cannot eafi- ly expel chem.

Only in a few words cake this; That che weaknefs of the faculties wholly depends upon che intemperies or diftemper of the parts, and the decay of their native heac. Thepaflages are ob- ftructed by overmuch and chick maccer, which happens to be condenfed by the vehemency of cold. Meats ofanill juyce produce ftore of ex- crements: Now what chefe meats ace,Galen gives us Coundecftand, in his Book touching meats ofa good and evil juyce.

Secondly, A Tumor iscaufed by a defluxion,
when as the humors are cranfmitced unco fome’

For whereas there is inevery pare a faculey not only of ateracting a} chings familiar and agreeable unto it, buc allo of expelling and cafting ouc whatever is fuperfluous and burdenfom 3 hence itis chac being ftit’d up and provoked by the ex- cels or offenfive quality of the exccements and humots it expels and thrufts forch unto fome other parc whatever is ufelefs, or at leaft bucdenfom un- toic.
