Neque enim se dicere, consilio medicum non egere, et irrationale animal hanc artem posse praestare; sed has latentium rerum conjecturas ad rem non pertinere; quia non intersit, quid morbum faciat, sed quid tollat, neque quomodo, sed quid optime digeratur; sive hac de causa concoctio incidat, sive de illa; et sive concoctio sit illa, sive tantum digestio.

-
The breakdown by a living organism of ingested food material into chemically simpler forms that can be readily absorbed and assimilated by the body. This process requires the action of digestive enzymes and may take place extracellularly (i.e. in the alimentary canal), as is the case in most animals; or intracellularly (e.g. by engulfing phagocytic cells), as occurs in many protists and in cnidarians.

sed cura non eadem oratoribus quae phonascis convenit, tamen multa sunt utriusque communia, firmitas corporis, ne ad spadonum et mulierum et aegrorum exilitatem vox nostra tenuetur, quod ambulatio, unctio, veneris abstinentia, facilis ciborum digestio, id est frugalitas praestat.

nos non dicimus quod ideo exeat a membris sicut pars exit a toto, sed potius decinditur a quarta digestione quae iam virtutem assimilationis a membris aeeepit antequam membris imbibatur et uniatur. Sunt enim quatuor in humore quartae digestionis, quorum unum est digestio, secundum assimilatio, tertium apprehensio humoris a specie membri quando iam divisus humor imbibitur membris, quartum autem est unitio quando unitur.
