Phlegmatique

"In North Wiltshire, and like the vale of Gloucestershire (or dirty clayey country), the indigenæ or aborigines speak drawling ; they are phlegmatique, skins pale and livid, slow and dull, heavy of spirit ; hereabout is but a little tillage or hard labour, they only milk the cows and make cheese ; they feed chiefly on milke meates, which cooles their braines too much, and hurts their inventions."
