Ergo in quibusvis corporibus cum exsuperat e principiis calor, tunc interficit dissolvitque cetera fervore. haec autem vitia efficit fervidum ab certis partibus caelum, cum insidit in apertas venas plus quam patitur e mixtionibus naturali temperatura corpus. item si umor occupavit corporum venas inparesque eas fecit, cetera principia liquido corrupta diluuntur, et dissolvuntur compositionibus virtutes. item haec e refrigerationibus umoris ventorum et aurarum infunduntur vitia corporibus. non minus aeris etiamque terreni in corpore naturalis compositio augendo aut minuendo infirmat cetera, principia terrena cibi plenitate, aer gravitate caeli.
