That the liver is first in time and making is manifest because the Nurse the vein that feeds the infant yet in the wombe empties it self upon the liver m The first excrement drawn from the liver to the gall is cholerick bitter like flame in colour which were it not removed and kept in due place would fill all the body with bitternesse and gnawing n Choledochus or the Gall is of a membranous substance having but one yet that a strong tunicle It hath two passages one drawing the humour from the liver another conveying the overplus into the first gut and so emptying the gall And this fence hath a double gate to keep the liquour from returning o The second ill humour is earthy and heavy which is drawn from the liver by little vessels unto the splene the native seat of melancholie here some have placed laughter but the splene seems rather the seat of malice and heavinesse p If the splene should fail in this office the whole body would be filled with melancholy fancies and vain terrours q Where the splene flourishes and the body decayes and withers where the splene is kept down the body flourishes Hence Stratonicus merrily said that in Crete dead men walked because they were so splenitive and pale-coloured r Trajan compared the splene to his exchequer because as his coffers being full drained his subjects purses so the full splene makes the body saplesse s The watery humour with some good bloud which is spent for the nourishment of those parts is drawn by the kidneys t The Ureters receive the water separated from the bloud as distilled from little fleshie substances in the kidneys like to teats u The kidneys are both alike the left somewhat higher both have a double skinne and both compassed with fat a The heart is the seat of heat and life therefore walled about with the ribs for more safety b The breasts or paps are given to men for strength and ornament to women for milk and nurserie also c When the infant grows big he so oppresseth the vessels of bloud that partly through the readinesse of the passage but especially by the providence of God the bloud turns back to the breast there by an innate but wonderfull facultie is turned into milk d The breasts are in figure hemisphericall whose tops are crowned with the teats about which are reddish circles called Areolae or little altars e In the Thorax or breast are sixty five muscles for respiration or breathing which is either free or forced The instruments of forced breathing are sixtie foure whereof thirtie two distend and as many contract it f The instrument of the free breathing is the Diazome or Diaphragme which we call the midriffe as a wall parting the heart and liver Plato affirms it a partition between the seats of desire and anger Aristotle a barre to keep the noisome odour of the stomack from the heart g The midriffe dilates it self when it draws in contracts it self when it puffes out the aire h The midriffe consists of two circles one skinny the other fleshie It hath two tunicles as many veins and arteries and foure nerves i Here most men have placed the seat of laughter It hath much sympathie with the brain so that if the midriffe be inflamed present madnes easues it k Within the Pleura or skinne which clotheth the ribs on the inside compasses this middle region l The chiefest part of this middle region is the Heart placed in the midst of this province and of the whole bodie fitly was it placed in the midst of all as being of all the most needfull m The Heart is immured partly by a membrane going round about it and thence receiving his name and a peculiar tunicle partly with an humour like whey or urine as well to cool the heart as to lighten the body n The flesh of the heart is proper and peculiar to it self not like other muscles of a figure pyramicall The point of the heart is as with a diademe girt with two arteries and a vein called the crowns o Though the heart be an entire body yet it is severed into two partitions the right and left of which the left is more excellent and noble p The right receives into his hollownesse the bloud flowing from the liver and concocts it q This right side sends down to the lungs that part of this bloud which is lesse laboured and thicker but the thinner part it sweats through a fleshie partition into the left side r This fleshie partition severs the right side from the left at first it seems thick but if it be well viewed we shall see it full of many pores or passages s Two skinny additions from their likenesse called the ears receive the one the thicker bloud that called the right the other called the left takes in the aire sent by the lungs t The left side of the heart takes in this aire and bloud and concocting them both in his hollow bosome sends them out by the great arterie into the whole body u In the heart are foure great vessels the first is the hollow vein bringing in the blood from the liver at whose mouth stand three little folding doores with three forks giving passage but no return to the bloud * The second vessel is called the arterie-vein which rising from the right side of the heart carries down the bloud here prepared to the lungs for their nourishment Here also is the like three-folding doore made like half circles giving passage from the heart but not backward x The third is called the Veiny arterie rising from the left side which hath two folds three-forked y The fourth is the great arterie This hath also a floudgate made of three semicircular membranes to give out load to the virall spirits and stop their regresse z The Heart is the fountain of life and heat to the whole bodie and the seat of passions a The Pneumon or lungs is nearest the heart whose flesh is light and spongie very large It is the instrument of breathing and speaking divided into many parcels yet all united into one bodie b The Lungs are covered with a light very thinne tunicle left it might be an hinderance to the motion c The winde-pipe which is framed partly of cartilage or grissy matter because the voice is perfected with hard smooth things these cartilages are compassed like a ring partly of skin which tie the grisles together d And because the rings of the grifles do not wholly meet this space is made up by muscles that so the meat-pipe adjoyning might not be galled or hurt e The Larynx or covering of the winde-pipe is a grisly substance parted into foure grisles of which the first is ever unmoved and in women often double f Adjoyning to it is the Oesophagus or meat-pipe conveying meats and drinks to the stomack g At whose end is the Epiglottis or cover of the throat the

Double I came why should I single leave thee Why of my better part dost thou bereave me Two prest thee first why should but one depart Restore thou trait'rous bed restore that better part 48 Thus while one grief anothers place inherits And one yet hardly spent a new complained Griefs leaden vapour dulls the heavy spirits And sleep too long from so wisht seat restrained Now of her eyes un'wares possession gained And that she might him better welcome give Her lord he new presents and makes him fresh to live 49 She thinks he lives and with her goes along And oft she kiss'd his cheek and oft embraced And sweetly askt him where he staid so long While he again her in his arms enlaced Till strong delight her dream and joy defaced But then she willing sleeps sleep glad receives her And she as glad of sleep that with such shapes deceives her 50 Sleep widow'd eyes and cease so fierce lamenting Sleep grieved heart and now a little rest thee Sleep sighing words stop all your discontenting Sleep beaten breast no blows shall now molest thee Sleep happy lips in mutuall kisses nest ye Sleep weary Muse and do not now disease her Fancie do thou with dreams and his sweet presence please her

FRANCIS QUARLES FINIS * American * Sannazar * Bartas * Spencer * Delos * More mortuum * A book called Christs Victorie and Triumph a The foundation of the body is the bones Bones are a similar part of the body most dry or cold made by the vertue generative through heat of the thicker portion of seed which is most earthy and Fat for the establishment and figure of the whole b A cartilage or gridle is of a middle nature betwixt bones and ligaments or sinews made of the Lime matter and in the same manner as bones for variety and safetie in motion c Some of these even as bones sustain and uphold some parts d Both these are knit with ligaments A ligament or sinew is of nature between grisles and nerves framed of a rough and clammy portion of the seed for knitting holding the bones together fitting them for motion e Upon the bones as the foundation is built the flesh Flesh is a similar part of the body soft ruddy made of bload indifferently dried covered with the common membrane or skinne f The whole body is as it were watered with great plenty of rivers veins arteries and nerves g A vein is a vessell long round hollow rising from the liver appointed to contein conduct and distribute the bloud It hath but one tunicle and that thinne the colour of this bloud is purple h An arterie is a vessel long round hollow formed for conveyance of that more spritely bloud which is elaborate in the heart This bloud is frothy yellowish full of spirits therefore compast with a double tunicle that it might not exhale or sweat out by reason of the thinnesse i A nerve is a spermaticall part rising from the brain and the pith of the back-bone the outside skinne the inside full of pith carrying the animall spirits for sense and motion and therefore doubly skinned as the brain none of them single but runne in couples k The veins convey nourishment from the liver the arteries life and heat from the heart the nerves sense and motion from the brain The will commands the nerve brings and the part executes the mandate all almost in an instant l The whole body may be parted into three regions the lowest or belly the middle or breast the highest or head In the lowest the liver is sovereigne whose regiment is the widest but meanest In the middle the heart reignes most necessarie The brain obtains the highest place and is as the least in compasse so the greatest in dignitie m The parts of the lower region are either the contained or containing the containing either common or proper the common are the skinne the fleshie pannicle and the far the proper are the muscles of the belly-peece or the inner rimme of the belly n The skinne is a membrane of all the rest the most large and thick formed of the mixture of seed and bloud the covering and ornament of parts that are under it the temper moderate the proper organ of outward touching say Physicians o The native colour of the skinne is white but as Hippocrates changed into the same colour which is brought by the humour predominant Where melancholie abounds it is swarthy where flegme it is white and pale where choler reignes it is red and firy but in sanguine of a rosie colour p The skinne is covered with the cuticle or flourishing of the skinne it is the mean of touching without which we feel but with pain It polisheth the skinne which many times is changed and as it is with snakes put off and a new and more amiable brought in q The fat cometh from the airy portion of the bloud which when it flows to the membranes by their weak heat which Physicians account call cold grows thick and close r The fat increaseth inward heat by keeping it from outward parts and defends the parts subject to it from bruises s The fleshie panniele is a membrane very thick sinewy woven in with little veins t The proper parts infolding this lower region are two the first the muscles of the belly-peece which are eight foure side-long two right and two crosse u Peritonaeum which we call the rimme of the belly is a thinne membrane taking his name from compassing the bowels round but longer every where double yet so thinne that it may seem but single It hath many holes that the veins arteries and other needfull vessels might have passage both in out * The
