; and the cause of its being red is the heat of the body, and the cause of its thinness is the dryness of choler. Item urine red-brown in colour and thin in substance, bright below and dark above, in a young choleric person along with the particular matters, signifies true tertian fever. Item urine black in colour and thin in substance, and dark above in a phlegmatic person and in a woman, signifies double tertiana {Urina rubra in colore, subtilis in substantia, clara inferne, obumbrata in superficie, in iuvene phlegmatico, aut muliere, duas tertianas significat. Urina rubra in colore, subtilis in substantia, obumbrata superne, in sene; duas tertianas significat.}’’
