EN66r
Facsimile
[rubric: Flema]
¶ Flematici son [corr: "son" inserted] moli freddi e gravi
Pensanti e longi in ogni lor affare
Di grosso ingegno quando tu li cavi
De lor mestiero habendo altro a cercare
Temon uergogna e son benigni e savii
E temperati ne lor consigliare
Sum pieni e grassi e lor destemperantia
Cottidiana febra con nominantia
[rubric: Malinconia.]
¶ Malanconia e de tute pegiore
Palidi e magri som sença letitia
Color che habundano in cotal humore
Disposti a tute l'arte de avaritia
Ed a multi penseri sempre hano il core
Som solitarii e di puoca amicitia
Quartane son le febre malanconice
Che piu che tute l'altre son cronice.
[rubric: De l'anima]
¶ Se l'anima vora segnoreçare
Vincera tute queste passione
Ma se se lassa al corpo sugiogare
Fia sotto posta a questa inclinatione
Quand'ella al corpo se lassa guidare
E seguita sue basse conditione
Perde l'alteça e 'l ben del'intelecto
Et -e- per suo e non d'altrui difecto

I think there's a conversation to be had about whether ç ought to also be transformed into 'g' -- I didn't have many of these in my sections but clearly replacing it with a 'z' is not applicable, but keeping it seems very very odd.
I have the same on 71r, where "lenguaçi" should rather be "lenguagi"? I guess it is the same with your "segnoreçiare", that may be "segnoregiare"
z (ç) instead of g is quite common in old italian, es. loza, lozza instead of loggia, cor(r)eça instead of correggia. So "segnorezare" (without i) and "lenguazi" are fine.

Line 10: "con" is "ha" in the printed edition, which makes more sense as this manuscript is lacking a verb.
