Vile, likewise in regard of sickness, and diseases, which grow out of the body, so that be it kept never so warm and tenderly, yet as the worms grow out of the very wood, and 1consumes the wood that breeds it: so diseases grow out of, and come from the body. There is a fight, and conflict between moisture and heat, till the one prey upon the other, and consume it. In regard of sickness therefore they are vile bodies.

In regard likewise of disposing the soul the worst way: for take all tempers of the body, they incline the soul to some sin or other, to some ill disposition or other. Choler, inclines it to intemperate anger. Melancholy, to distrust, and darkness of spirit. The Sanguine, inclines it to liberty and looseness, &c. Phlegm, to deadness, and dullness of spirit. So our base bodies make the soul dull, it becomes an unfit instrument, whereby the soul cannot work as it would; an unfit house; the body is oft times a dark house: sometimes a house that drops in with moist diseases, a house that lets in water, and so consumes it to rottenness; sometimes, it is a house fired by hot diseases, it is thus indisposed, and therefore a vile body.
