five principall Veynes springeth innumerable of the which a Chyrurgion hath no great charge for it sufficeth us to know the principals To speake of Arteirs you shall understand that wheresoever there is found a Veyne there is an Arteir under him and if there be found a great Veyne there is found a great Artier and whereas is a little Veyne there is a little Artier for wheresoever there goeth a Veyne to give nutriment there goeth an Artier to bring the spirit of life Wherefore it is to bee noted that the Artiers lye more deeper in the flesh then the Veynes doe for they carry and keepe in them more precious blood then doth the Veyne and therefore hee hath need to bee further from dangers outwardly and therefore God and Nature have ordained for him to be closed in two Coates where the Veyne hath but one The Breast or Thorax is the Arke or Chest of the spirituall members of man as saith the Philosopher where it is to bee noted that there be foure things containing and eight contained as thus The foure containing are the Skinne Musculus flesh the Pappes and the Bones The parts contained are the Heart the Lungs Pannicles Ligaments Nerves Veynes Artiers Myre or Isofagus Now the Skin and the flesh are knowne in their Anatomie It is to be noted that the flesh of the Pappes differeth from the other flesh of the body for it is white glandulus and spongeous and there is in them both Nerves Veynes and Artiers and by them they have Coliganes with the Heart the Liver the Braine and the Generative members Also there is in the Breast as old Authors make mention Lxxx or XC Muscles for some of them be common to the Neck some to the Shoulders and to the Spades some to Diafragma or the Midriffe some to the Ribs some to the Back and some to the Breast it selfe But J find a certaine profitablenesse in the creation of the Pappes aswell in man as in woman for in Man it defendeth the spirituals from annoyance outwardly and another by their thicknesse they comfort the naturall heate in defiance of the spirits And in Women there is the generation of Milke for in women there commeth from the Matrix into their breasts many Veynes which bring into them menstruall blood the which is turned through the digestive vertue from red colour into white like the colour of the Paps even as Chilley comming from the stomack to the Liver is turned into the colour of the Liver Now to speake of the Bones of the brest they be said to be triple or three-fold and they be numbred to the seaven in the Brest before and their length is according to the bredth of the Brest and their extremities or ends be gristly as the Ribbes be And in the upper end of Thorax is a hole or a concavity in which is set the foot of the Fockle-bone or Cannel-bone and in the nether end of Thorax against the mouth of the stomack hangeth a Gristle called Ensiforme and this Gristle was ordained for two causes One is that it should defend the Stomack from hurt outwardly The second is that in time of fulnesse it should give place to the stomack in time of need when it desireth c. Now to speake of the parts of the Backe here following there bee twelve Spondels through whom passeth Mynuca of whom springeth twelve paire of Nerves that bringeth both feeling and moving to the Muscles of the Brest aforesaid And here it is to be noted that in every side there bee twelve Ribs that is to say seaven true and five falfe because these five be not so long as the other seaven be and therefore called false Ribs as it may be perceived by the sight of the Eye Likewise of the parts that bee inwardly and first of the Heart because hee is the principall of all other members and the beginning of Life hee is set in the middest of the Brest severally by himselfe as Lord and King of all members And as a Lord or a King ought to bee served of his subjects that have their living of him so are all other members of the Body subjects to the Heart for they receive their living of him and they all doe service many wayes unto him againe The substance of the Heart is as it were Lazartus flesh but it is spermatick and an officiall member and the beginning of life and hee giveth to every member of the Body both blood of life and spirit of breath and heate for if the Heart were of Lazartus flesh his moving and stirring should be voluntary and not naturall but the contrary is true for it were impossible that the Heart should be ruled by Will onely and not by Nature The Heart hath the shape and forme of a Pine-apple and the broad end thereof is upwards and the sharpe end is downewards depending a little towards the left side And heere it is to be noted that the Heart hath blood in his substance whereas all other members have it but in their Veynes and Arteries Also the Heart is bound with certaine Ligaments to the backe part of the Breast but these Lygaments touch not the substance of the Heart but in the over-part they spring forth of him and is fastened as is aforesaid Furthermore the Heart hath two Ventricles or Concavities and the left is higher then the right and the cause of his hollownesse is this For to keepe the blood for his nourishing and the ayre to abate and temper the great heate that hee is in the which is kept in Concavities Now heere it is to be noted that to the right Ventrickle of the Heart commeth a Veyne from the great Veyne called Venakelis that receiveth all the substance of the blood from the Liver And this Veyne that commeth from Venakelis entreth into the heart of the right Ventricle as J said before and in him is brought a great portion of the thickest blood to nourish the heart with and the residue that is left of this is made subtill through the vertue of the Heart and then this Blood is sent into a Concavity or pit in the midst of the Heart betweene the two Ventricles and therein it is made hot and purified and then it passeth into the left Ventricle and there is ingendred in it a Spirit that is cleerer brighter and subtiller then any Corporall or Bodily thing that is engendred of the foure Elements For it is a thing that is a meane betweene the Body and the Soule Wherefore it is likened of the Philosophers to be more liker heavenly things then earthly things Also it is to be noted that from the left Ventricle of the heart springeth two Arteirs the one having but one Coate and therefore is called Arteria Venalis And this Arteir carryeth Blood from the Heart to the Lungs the which Blood is vaporous that is tryed and and left of the Heart and is brought by this Artery to the Lungs to give him

that in the time of concussion or oppression the soft members or limbes should not be hurt of the hard The third is that the extremity of Bones and Joynts that be grisly might the easier be foulded and moved together without hurt The fourth is for that it is necessary in some meane places to put a Gristle as in the throat-bowle for the sound The fifth is for that it is needfull that some members be holden up with a Gristle as the lids of the Eyes The sixt is that some Limbes have a sustaining and a drawing abroad as in the Nose and the Eares c. The Ligament is a member consimple simple and spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Gristle and of complexion cold and dry and is flexible and insensible and bindeth the Bones together The cause why hee is flexible and insensible is this If it had beene sensible he might not have suffered the labour and moving of the joynts and if it had not beene flexible of his bowing one Limme should not have moved without another The second profit is that he be joyned with sinewes for to make Cordes and Brawnes The third helpe is that he be a resting place to some sinewes The fourth profit is that by him the members that be within the Bone be sustained as the Matrix and Kidneys and divers other c. The Sinew is a consimilier member simple and spermatick a meane betweene hard and soft and in complexion cold and dry and he is both flexible and sensible strong and tough having his beginning from the Braine or from Mynuca which is the Marrow of the backe And from the braine commeth seaven paire of Nerves sensative and from Mynuca commeth thirty paire of Nerves motive and one that is by himselfe that springeth of the last spondell All these sinewes have both feeling and moving in some more and in some lesse c. A Corde or Tendon is a consimple or officiall member compound and spermaticke sinewie strong and tough meanely betweene hardnesse and softnesse and meanly sensible and flexible and in complexion cold and dry And the Corde or Tendon is thus made The sinewes that come from the braine and from Mynuca and goe to move the members is intermingled with the Lygaments and when the sinewes and Lygaments are intermingled together then is made a Corde And for three causes J perceive why the Cordes were made The first is that the Sinew alone is so sensible that hee may not suffer the great labour and travell of moving without the fellowship and strength of the Ligament that is insensible and that letteth his great feeling and bringeth him to a perfit temperance And so the Cordes move the limbes to the will of the soule And this Corde is associated with a simple flesh and so thereof is made a Brawne or a Muskle on whom he might rest after his travell and this Brawne is called a Muskle Then when this Corde is entred into this Brawne he is departed into many small threeds the which be called Will and this Will hath three properties The first is in length by whose vertue that draweth it hath might The second in breadth by whom the vertue that casteth out hath might The third in thwartnes in whom the vertue that holdeth hath might and at the end of the Brawne those threeds be gathered together to make another Muskle c. Now J will begin at the Arteir This Arteir is a member consimile ●imple and spermaticke hollow and sinowie having his springing from the Heart bringing from the heart to every member blood and spirit of life It is of complexion cold and dry And all these Arteirs have two coates except one that goeth to the Lungs and he hath but one coate that spreadeth abroad in the Lungs and bringeth with him to the Lungs blood with the spirit of life to nourish the Lungs withall And also that Arteir bringeth with him from the Lungs ayre to temper the fumous heate that is in the heart And this Arteir is he that is called Arteria Venalis because he hath but one coate as a veyne and is more obedient to be delated abroad through all the Lungs because that the blood might the sooner sweat through him whereas all other Arteirs have two coates because one coate may not withstand the might and power of the spirit of life Divers other causes there be which shall be declared in the Anatomie of the breast c. The Veyne is a simple member in complexion cold and dry and spermaticke like to the Arteir having his beginning from the Liver and bringeth from the Liver nutritiue blood to nourish every member of the body with And it is so to be understood that there is no more difference betweene these two vessels of blood but that the Arteir is a vessell of blood spirituall or vitall And the Veyne is a vessell of blood nutrimentall of the which Veynes there is noted two most principall of the which one is called Vena Porta the other is called Vena celis of whom it is too much to treat of now untill we come to the Anatomy of the Wombe c. The Flesh is a consimile member simple not spermaticke and is ingendred of blood congealed by heat and is in complexion hot and moyst Of the which is noted three kinds of Fleshes that is to say one is soft and pure flesh the second is Musculus or hard and brawny flesh the third is Glandulus knotty or kurnelly flesh Also the commodities of the flesh be indifferent or ●ome be common to every kinde of flesh and some be proper to one manner of flesh alone The profits of the flesh be many for some defend the body from cold as doth cloathes also it defendeth the body from hard things comming against it so through his moysture he rectifyeth the Body in Summer in time of great heate Wherefore it is to be considered what profitablenesse is in every kind of flesh by himselfe And first of simple and pure flesh which fulfilleth the concavities of voyd places and causeth good forme and shape and this flesh is found betweene the teeth and on the end of the yard The profits of the Brawny flesh or Musculus flesh shall be spoken of in the Anatomy of the Armes The profits of the Glandulus flesh are these First that it turneth the blood into a colour like to himselfe as doth the flesh of a womans pappes turne the menstruall Blood into milke Secondly the Glandulus flesh of the Testikles turneth the blood into Sparme Thirdly the Glandulus flesh of the cheekes that engendreth the spettle c. The next is of Fatnesse of the which J find three kinds The first is Pinguedo and it is a consimiler member not spermaticke and it is made of a subtill portion of Blood congealed by colde and it is of complexion cold and moyst insensible and is intermingled amongst the parts of the flesh The second is Adeppes and is of

Mouse-eare Pimpernell Avence Valerian and Gentian of each a like quantity but take of Mouse-eare the weight of all the other hearbes when they be dryed take d●mi spoonfull in untiment or in some other liquor which is according to the sicknesse and let him drinke it and the Medicine is as good as a Salve for any wounded man as may be had for to heale him Also the herbes that draweth the wound are O●●ulus Christi Mather Buglosse red Coleworts and Orpine These be the soveraigne pepper hearbes for the Fester h●arbe Robert Buglosse Sannacle Hempropes Morrell Rew and Savorie but sake good heed of these hearbes in the use of them and yee shall worke the better Some Physicall observations tending to Physicke and Surgerie and times convenient for letting of Blood To preserve Health IF a man will observe hee may governe himselfe at foure times in the Yeare so that hee shall have little need of Let●hcraft as thus In the Spring from March till May at which time increaseth the good sweet 〈…〉 Blood through good meates and 〈…〉 good wholsome savours In Summer from May till June at which time beginneth the bitter juyce of Choller then use coole meats and drinkes and bee not violent in exercise and forbeare women In Harvest from June till November at which time increaseth Melancholy then bee purged by a Medicine Laxative and afterward use light Meats and drinkes such as will increase good Blood In Winter from November till Mar●h at which time increaseth Flegme through weaknesse of Humours and corruption of ayre Then the Pose beginneth to grow then heat is in the Veynes then is pricking in the sides then is time to use hot Meats and good drinkes and spices as Pepper Ginger c. but doe not wash thy Head For as a learned Physitian saith Hee that taketh much Physick when he is young will much repent it when he is old For letting of Blood AS in all other parts of Physicke so great care ought to be had in letting of Blood First skilfully and circumspectly is to be considered and certainly knowne the cause As whether it be needfull and good for the Patient to purge his body of some unnaturall and naughty and superfluous humour For otherwise letting of Bloud is very dangerous and openeth the way to many grievous Infirmities And note generally that it is not convenient eyther for a very leane and weake man or for a very fat and grosse man to be let bloud neither for a Child under 14. yeares of age nor an old man above 56.

A Definition of Wounds by their causes A Wound is a solution seperation and recent breach of unity of that that before was a continuity with out putrified matter which corruption giveth the name of an Ulcer to the solution and no more a Wound The causes of Wounds are duall viz. First by the violence of bodies without life as we simply call an Incised wound as when it is caused by edged Instruments Secondly we call it a Stab or puncture caused by theforce of Daggers and the like Thirdly we call those Contused wounds caused by violent use of the object being some weighty thing cast as a Stone or stroake with a Staffe or their similies against the subject receiving their forces differing in their appellations by the diversity of their causes Or secondly wounds are caused by living things as a wound that is of Biting scratching and the like and for these causes they differ in their appellatious Also the differencie of Wounds are taken eyther from their causes by which they are inflicted or from their accidents viz. the indication of the place wherein they are scituated Also the place maketh difference thus eyther they happen in the similar parts as the Flesh Artery Veyne c. or in the organicall or instrumentall parts as some intire and whole bulke truncke or fully compleat member or limbe viz. The Head Necke Brest Belly c. Wounds of the Head grow more particular because that parts belonging thereto be of more note as the Face Nose Lippes Eyes and Eares wounds of the limbes arc of the Shoulders Armes Thighes and Legs Of the similar parts also some are Sanguine as the flesh whose wounds are eyther simple deepe hollow plaine or proud with flesh The Spermaticke likewise are eyther hard or soft the soft parts as the Veynes Arteries and Sinewes being wounded we call them wounds of the hurt part the hard are the Bones a breach of which we call a wound in the Bone So Wounds derive their Nominations from the cause place and simisitudes thereof What Wounds are WOunds are these Which in Latine are called Vulnus of the vulgar Vulner and they are of two kinds that is Simple and Compound the simple are those that are onely in the Flesh the compound are those where are cut Sinewes Veynes Muscles and Bones and these are of divers and sundry kinds and the difference that is among them is by the variety of the place where they are wounded and by the difference of the weapon wherewith they were hurt For some goe right some overthwart that offend divers places of the body The simple are of small importance if they keepe them cleane and close shut Nature will heale them without any kind of medecine but those where veynes are cut had neede of some Art or Practise with the which they must stop the blood and in any wise not to suffer the wound to remaine open but to sow it up very close so that the veyne may heale and those where sinewes are hurt are of great importance and would be healed with great speed so the Sinewes may joyne with more ●ase But those where bones are hurt are of great importance for if the Bone be seperated from the other of necessity it must be taken forth before the Wound be healed So that by this meanes every one may know what Wounds are and their kinds In the Curing of greene Wounds consists a five-fold scope or intention THe first is to draw out that which is sent into the Body whether by Bullet Wood Bone or Stone or Arrowes Darts and such like The second is a Conjunction and united of parts divided The third is a retaining of those parts united in their proper seate The fourth is a Conservation of the parts of the substance The fifth is a Prohibition and mitigation of accidents For the first intention it is performed eyther with fit and convenient Instruments or with attractive Medicines whereby things that are infixed are drawne out Which Medicines are these Radix Aristolochiae Ammoniacum Arundis Saga Poenum Anagallis Dictamnum Thapsia Ranae combustae Or Emplastrum Avicennae so much commended by Guyd● The second and third intention is performed by binding and Ligature if the Wound be simple and small and in a place where it may fitly be performed yea although it be large so it may be easily bound as in the Muscles of the Arme and such like but if it happen that Ligatute will not serve then must be added the helpe of the Needle being very carefull to handle the party gently and to place it in his due seate The fourth intention is performed and accomplished by appointing of a fit and convenient Dyet according to the strength of the Patient and greatnesse of the affect and disposition of the whole body for a thin Dyet and cold doth very much availe in resisting of Symptoms we also adde Blood-letting and Purging of humors to avoide accidents also the part is to be contained in his due place and a Cataplasme framed with the whites of Egges and other cooling things are to be applyed and sometimes to be fomented with astringed Wine The fifth intention is the correcting of accidents which is Flux of blood Dolour Tumor Paralysis Convulsion Fever Syncope Delerium and Itching But this is to observed in the Fluxe of blood whether it hath flowne sufficiently or no if otherwise the Fluxe is to be suffered for after a sufficient Fluxe the wound doth remaine dry and is so much the neerer cured and the lesse Symptomes follow as Phlegmon and such like and if the wound bleed not sufficient we must open a veyne for revulsion according to the greatnesse of the affect and the nature of the wound especially when through paine or other cause wee feare inflamation or a Feaver How a sicke man should Dyet himselfe being Wounded A Wounded man or a man sore beaten being sicke must be kept from Milke Butter Cheese Hearbes Fruites Fish except fre●h-water Fish Women Garlicke Onions Leekes Peason c. Also divers sorts of meats must he not eate as fresh Beefe water Fowles Goose or Duck nor drinke too much strong Wine But he may eate Porke Mutton Chicken Henne or Capon Of Wounds and their Cures happening in severall places of the Body And first of infirmities incident to Souldiers in a Campe. COmmonly there are three Infirmities that offend Souldiers in a Campe above all the rest the which are these Feavers Wounds and Fluxes of the body the which thou mayst helpe

Nutriment and there he receiveth of the Lungs ayre and bringeth it to the heart to refresh him with Wherefore Galen saith that hee findeth that mans Heart is naturall and friendly to the Lungs For hee giveth him of his owne Nutrimentall to nourish him with and the Lungs rewards him with ayre to refresh him with againe c. The other Artier that hath two Coats is called Vena Arterialis or the great Artery that ascendeth and descendeth and of him springeth all the other Artiers that spread to every member of the Body for by him is united and quickned all the members of the body For the Spirit that is retained in them is the instrument or treasure of all the vertue of the Soule And thus it passeth untill it come to the Braine and there hee is turned into a further digestion and there he taketh another Spirit and so is made animall and at the Liver nutrimentall and at the Testicles generative and thus it is made a spirit of every kind so that hee being the meane of all manner of operations and workings taketh effect Two causes J find why these Artiers have two coates One is that one coat is not sufficient nor able to withstand the violent moving and stirring of the spirit of Life that is carried in them The second cause is that the thing that is carried about from place to place is of so precious a Treasure that it had the more need of good keeping And of some Doctors this Artier is called the Pulsative veyne or the beating Veyne for by him is perceived the pow●r and might of the Heart c. Wherefore God and Nature have ordained that the Artiers have two coates Also there is in the Heart three Pellikles opening and closing the going in of the Heart blood and spirit in convenient time Also the Heart hath two little Eares by whom commeth in and passeth out the ayre that is prepared for the Lungs There is also found in the heart a Cartilaginous auditament to helpe and strengthen the same Heart The Heart is covered with a strong Pannicle which is called of some Capsula Cordes or Pericordium the which is a strong case unto whom commeth Nerves as to other inward members And this Pannicle Pericordium springeth of the upper Pannicle of the Midriffe And of him springeth another Pannicle called Mediastinum the which separateth the Brest in the midst and keepeth it that the Lungs fall not over the Heart There is also another Pannicle that covereth the Ribbes inwardly that is called Plura of whom the Midriffe taketh his beginning And it is said of many Doctors that Duramater is the Originall of all the Pannicles within the body and thus one taketh of another CHAP. VIII The Anatomie of the Lungs THe Lungs is a member Spermatick of the first creation and his naturall Complexion is cold and dry and in his accidentall complexion hee is cold and moyst wrapped in a nervous Pannicle because it should gather together the softer substance of the Lungs and that the Lungs might feele by the meanes of the Pannicle that which hee might not feele in himselfe Now to prove the Lungs to bee cold and dry of kind it appeareth by his swift stirring for hee lyeth ever waving over the Heart and about the heart And that hee is cold and moyst in operation it appeareth in that hee receiveth of the Braine many cold matters as Catarres and Rheumes whose substance is thin Also J find in the Lungs three kinds of substance One is a Veyne comming from the Liver bringing with him the crude or raw part of the Chylle to feed the Lungs Another is Arteria venealis comming from the Heart bringing with him the spirit of Life to nourish him with The third is Trachia Arteria that bringeth in ayre to the Lungs and it passeth through all the left part of them to doe his office The Lungs is divided into five Lobbes or Pellikles or five portions that is to say three in the right side and two in the left side And this was done for this cause that if there fell any hurt in the one part the others should serve and doe their office And three causes J find why the Lungs were principally ordained First that they should draw cold wind and refresh the heart The second that they should change and alter and purifie the ayre before it come to the Heart lest the heart should be hurt and annoyed with the quantity of the ayre The third cause is that they should receive from the Heart the fumous superfluities that hee putteth forth with his breathing c. Behind the Lungs towards the Spondels passeth Myre or Isofagus of whom it is spoken of in the Anatomic of the Neck And also there passeth both Veynes and Artiers and all these with Trachia Arteria doe make a Stoke replete unto the Gullet with the Pannicles and strong Ligaments and Glandulus flesh to fulfill the voyd places And last of all is the Midriffe and it is an officiall member made of two Pannicles and Lazartus flesh and his place is in the midst of the body overthwart or in bredth under the region of the Spirituall members separating them from the Matrix And three causes J find why the Midriffe was ordained First that it should divide the Spirituals from the Nutrates The second that it should keepe the vitall colour or heat to descend downe to the Nutrates The last is that the malicious fumes reared up from the Nutrates should not annoy the Spirituals or vitals c. The Wombe is the region or the City of all the Intrailes the which reacheth from the Midriffe downe unto the Share inwardly and outwardly from the Reines or Kidnies downe to the bone Peeten about the privie parts And this Wombe is compound and made of two things that is to say of Syfac and Myrac Syfac is a Pannicle and a member spermatick officiall sensible Sinewie compound of subtill Will and in complexion cold and dry having his beginning in the inner Pannicle of the Midriffe And it was ordained because it should containe and bind together all the Intrailes and that he defend the Musculus so that he oppresse not the Naturall members And that he is strong and tough it is because he should not be lightly broken and not those things that are contained goe not forth as it happeneth to them that are broken c. Myrac is compound and made of foure things that is to say of Skinne outwardly of Fatnesse of a Carnous Pannicle and of Musculus Flesh And that it is to bee understood that all the whole from Syfac outward is called Myrac it appeareth well by the words of Galen where hee commandeth that in all wounds of the Wombe to sewe the Syfac with the Mirac and by that it proveth that there is nothing without the Syfac but Mirac And in this Mirac or outer part of the Wombe there is noted eight Muscles two Longitudinals proceeding from the
