Here are tokens of ;i hardened liver, wliether on the 

 lobes or the hulks, that is, ike hollows of if, or the 

 films and menihranes. The hardening occurs in two 

 ways; the one is in the outset before any other mis- 

 chief Cometh upon the liver ; the second cometh after 

 other mischiefs of the liver ; it is without sore, and 

 Avhen the man taketh meat, then he casteth if up 

 again, and changeth his luie, and hath not under con- 

 trol his Avamb and his mie ; and wlien thou settest 

 thine hand from above upon the liver, then it is as 

 heavy as a stone and is not sore : if that continues 

 long so, then it involves a not easily cured <lrops}-. 

 All the U]jh\o\YmgH and the burnings which \)g any- 

 where throughout the body, come of hot and boiling- 

 blood. So also in like manner it is to be understood 

 of the liver, whether the heat and the upblowing be 

 on the liver itself, on the films, that if^, nimnhranes,^ 

 and on the things ' which be about the liver ; and 

 whether they be on the liver ])rominences and lobes, 

 or in the liver holes and hulks,''' or in both those 

 parts. When the leech understandeth that, then he 

 may the more easily find the leechdom. These are the 

 tokens ; if the hot upblowing is on the margins or 

 jirominences of the liver, then is there much distention 

 and fever with burning heats and a piercing soreness 

 as far as the collar bones, and as far as the slioulder, and 

 tliere is host, or cough, and oppression of the breast.
