which according to the diverse fashioning of abounding matter are found diverse sorts of solid bodyes as haires and such other like Of partes of the body which appertaine to the Of the parts of the body making up of the whole body some are containing and some contained The contained for their fluent nature are sustained by helpe of others Such are humours and spirits Humors are moyst partes begot of the first mixture of nourishment in the liver These are in the seede of creatures and are called the beginning of things endued with bloud Any of these if they fayle of their proper nature are not fit to be in the bodie but are become unnaturall Humours are of the first the second sort The first Humors are hot or colde and moyst and dry Bloud is hot and Blood moyst and it is a thin red humour and sweete With this the other partes be chiefly nourished amongst whom this is the chiefe The faults of this is in substance as putrifaction or mixture of vicious humors or in qualitie as too thicke or too thin or is affected with some other badnesse The humour that is hot and dry is choller this is a thinne yellow pale and bitter humour His use is to helpe the expelling facultie and chiefly in the Guts Gall besides nature through adustion is yellow like an egges yolke in the stomacke it is like rustic brasse The colde and moyst is phlegme which is a tough Phlegme slimie and whitish humour and tastlesse If this have a fuller concoction it is turned into bloud His use is to moysten the joynts When it declineth from his proper nature it is salt or tart according to his mixture The colde and dry humour is blacke choller This is a thicke blackish tart bitter humour It serveth to strengthen the stomacke that it may more easily retaine and receive meate When it declineth from his proper nature by immoderate burning it hath divers kindes Humors of the second sort are begotten of the first being wrought with concoction they are like dew or glew Dew is a humor contained in the hollownesse of the members and joyned to their substance like dew with which they are nourished Glew is a humour immoderately congealed and being Glew firmely fastned to the members beginneth to bee changed unto their substance of which change it is called Cambium and carniformis like the flesh Now follow the spirits which are a fluent part of Spirits the body most thin and begotten of the bloud of the heart The spirits are the chiefe instrument and as it were the Chariot of the soules faculties for with most speedie and swift motion it carrieth them over all the body Spirits having roote in the heart be either absolute Vitall What they are or rude and to be finished in other parts Vitall spirits be absolute in the heart and are of a firie nature and from the heart by arteries are spred in the bodie by whose communication all parts doe live Spirits to be perfected in other parts bee Animall Animall which from the heart be carried into the braine and What they are there made subtile by nerves flowing unto all the other parts and this is the Chariot of functions or faculties of all living Creatures Parts containing are more solid which are sustained by themselves all these either are as a stay or covering The stay to other parts is either bone or gristle Bone is the hardest and dryest part and stay to all the bodie Bones are knit together by ligaments which are like hard and thicke threeds being as bandes to the bones of the bodie Gristles are somewhat softer than the bones and Gristles sustaine all other partes The covering of the other What they are parts is the skin which is tender without bloud and covereth the whole body The membrane is a tender skin covering some parts There is yet in these parts a common excrement of Sweat concoction which is sweat and is a moystnesse of the What it is veynes expelled by secret pores of this is to be seene a diverse colour according to the die of the moystnesse or matter thereof the usuall is watrish through the white substance of the channels through which it runneth But if the pores be large and open that without delay and long change it may slide through them especially if for some affection of minde or disease it become thinner then is it speedily expelled and tainted with some other colour c. Therefore from the colour of sweate the bodyes constitution may be knowne Colde sweate is worse to bee liked than hot but either is bad if they be unequall Also the containing parts afore-named are animall or vitall and each of these are more or lesse principall Animall parts are in which the animall parts are most exercised as sence and motion together or alone The chiefe member of motion and sence is the braine contained in the head whose substance being hurt it is in danger to lose both sence and motion The Braine is softer than the other parts white Braine what it is and covered with a double skinne closely The skinne of the brayne is either called Pia or Dura mater The scalpe is a thicke bone covering the whole head and hath up on it a skin with hayres The scalpe is distinguished with certaine seames in certaine parts which are true or fayned c. The excrements of the braine are either thicke or Excrements of the braine thin The thin are teares bursting from the braine by the angles of the eyes The greater the flesh of those angles be so much more plentifull be teares chiefly if the complexion bee colde and moyst as of women Teares be caused by heate which openeth or colde which presseth the flesh and causeth teares The thicker excrements which are expelled from the brayne eyther are by the eares or nose In the eares is a moyst excrement of the brayne gathering Of the eares and rotting in their hollownesse That of the nose is a thicker excrement than that of Of the nose the braine which although it be like flegme yet it is altogether of another nature The pithe of the backe bone is neare to the nature of the braines excrement save that it is harder and something hotter The backe is bonie round and in his length hath twentie foure joynts The Nerves are lesse principall parts of sence and motion which if they be out of order the parts in which these be become unfit to move Nerves or sinewes are thin parts round c. white much like to thicke threeds Some are softer some harder The softer are of more use of which are six paire by two and two from the braine arriving to other parts First to the eyes Secondly To moove the eyes Thirdly to the tongue and taste Fourthly to the pallet and skin of the mouth Fiftly to the hearing The sixt to the mouth of the stomacke

by which sence and motion descend Hard Nerves have a duller facultie and lesse serving to the senses of which are thirtie paire which by couples come from the marrow of the backe bone by whose conduct the backe easily executeth his faculties Of the parts to breath The principall parts of breathing are in the brest The breathing parts being either Lightes or Heart wherefore these being touched breathing is immediately hurt and such wounds be deadly The Longes are a spongious and thin part soft and like foame of congealed bloud declining something to the right side Breath is brought unto the Lightes by a rough Artery knit to the roote of the tongue This Arterie is a long channell made of many gristle rings on a row which endeth in the Lights If any thing fall into the hollownesse of this the breath is hindred and there is danger to be choaked The Heart is a fleshie part solid and well compacted The heart what it is almost like a Pyramis it hath two ventricles the right and the left The right by an arteriall veine communicateth bloud to the Lights This veine is so called of a proper substance and office From the left ventricle of the Heart ariseth Aorta the roote of all the Arteries These are hollow vessells in the Heart begotte and are thicke distributing spirits throughout the whole bodie The excrements of the principall parts of breathing Spittle what it is be spittle and cough Spittle is a windie foame cast out of the brest and his parts If it be avoyded with noyse it is called coughing Superfluitie of this matter is judged by the colour for red spittle is of bloud yellow of choler white of flegme and blacke of melancholy The lesse principall parts of breathing are the Midriffe what it is midriffe and the mediastin The midriffe is a thinne skin like perchment fastened overthwart to the sides and includeth the parts of the brest The mediastin is a double skinne in length dividing the brest into two sides The vitall parts are those which serve to the preservation of the spirits of living creatures and are appoynted to nourishment or generation The principall parts for the perfection of nourishment be the stomacke and the Liver The Stomacke is a part like perchment sticking to Stomacke what it is the throat round but long and as it were twisted with many small threeds and it is the kitchin of nourishment to be concocted The throat is a channell full of nerves carrying Throat what it is meate from the mouth to the stomacke The Fibres are as it were very small threeds by benefit whereof the stomacke enjoyeth her facultie These if they bee straight and right draw nourishment unto them if crooked they are oblique or transverse those retaine nourishment received these expell excrements The casting forth of excrements by the upper parts Vomiting of the stomacke is called vomit which expelleth that which aboundeth in the stomacke yet such excrement is many times sent backe from other parts into the stomacke The Liver lyeth upon the stomacke on the The Liver right side enclosing it with his laps and is a fleshy part of nourishment red like congealed bloud placed next unto the Midriffe In the Liver is made the second concoction namely of nourishment in the belly turned into a red masse from the Liver ariseth a hollow veine the roote of all other veynes These are hollow parts round and guide the bloud unto all the body the substance of these is thinner by sixe folde than the skin of the Arteries whose substance ought to be thicker for the vehement motion of the spirits That the office of the Liver may be made perfect by meanes of veynes other particles are allotted thereunto which receive the abounding humors choller c. The Gall receiveth yellow choller and the Milt blacke The bladder of the Gall is a slimie part in the hollow part of the Liver of the figure of a Peare the Milt is a long part like a shooe-sole on the left side over against the Liver but somewhat lower Water from the Liver is received by the reines and bladder The substance of the reines is thicke and solid flesh they sticke on both sides about the loynes and have emulgent veynes arising from the hollow veine From the trench of the veynes hang downeward white narrow veynes guiding water from the reines unto the bladder The bladder is a slimie part round and containing urine in it Vrine is a whey separated from bloud in the reines Vrine and more fully purged in the bladder This in the bodie of a temperate man and sound is of a meane substance and in quantitie answereth the drinke received in the chollerike it is yellow or red His sediment is white smooth and equall without bubbles c. A sound body is knowne by voyding vrine which How to discerne a sound body by it in the morning is white and after something red For the one signifieth that it doth and the other that it hath concocted Vrine is of a meane substance betwixt thin and thicke Thin vrine argueth the weakenesse of the body and coldnesse predominant and rawnesse of the parts of concoction And this either remaineth the same or becommeth troubled That sheweth concoction is not yet begunne and therefore raw or This that it is but new begunne Thicke vrine like that of beasts noteth excesse of matter or concoction Vrine doth varie according to age or complexion or according to dyet and affections of the minde For the vrine of Infants for the most part is white and milkie the vrine of boyes is thicker and not so white the vrine of young men is like golde and of olde men white and thin Touching complexions the chollerick have Orange Complexions colour Phlegmatike pale and thicke the Sanguine red and meane The melancholike wan and thin Dyet changeth vrine as Saffron or Cassia caussth Orange Dyet colour Vrine of those that fast long is yellow of those that eate too much it is white The lesse principall parts of concoction are the Guts gutts and mesenterion The gutts are long round hollow and are knit to the lower part of the stomacke These are thicke or thin The thinner are the three uppermost as Duodenum Iejunum and Ileos Duodenum is the uppermost gut twelue fingers long Their severall kinds The Iejunum beginneth where the Duodenum beginneth to turne unto rundells Ileos is a thin gut having inwrapped windings The thicker guts of a thicker skin are Coecum Colon and Rectum The blinde gut is thicke large and short having but one mouth The Colon hath many turnings The right goeth straight to the Tuell The excrement of the belly if it be but softly compact and made at the appointed time and somewhat yellow and not much smelling argueth good concoction If it be red it argueth that much colour floweth in the stomacke if it be white it sheweth cruditie and want of choller Blew sheweth mortification and cold of the inward parts Too thicke or thin egestion argueth bad concoction if fattish or slimie it noteth a consumption Above all in these things it must bee observed what meate hath lately beene received The guts are wrapped about with the Mesenterion How placed in the body which is a skin in the end full of kernells and woven with many thin veines which meeting together make a multiplying of Vena porta in the hollow of the Liver Thus of the common parts of all creatures their kindes follow All Creatures are reasonable or unreasonable They The distinction of living creatures and their severall kinds which want reason are Beasts who live on Land or in Water Those which live on the earth moove on the earth or in the ayre Beasts moving on the earth are fourefooted or creeping Fourefooted Beasts bring forth young shaped as themselves or eggs Those that bring forth living Creatures some have solide feete and some cloven feete They have solide feete who want hornes as Horses Mules and Asses c. The cloven footed Beastes for the most part have hornes as the Oxe Goate Hart c. Land Beasts bringing forth eggs are the Crocodiles and some which have a shell Frogges Liserts and some Serpents have foure feete Creatures creeping on the earth are all kinde of Wormes Ants Earwigs to whom may bee added Spiders Lice Gnatts and such other Fowles are hotter and dryer than Creatures living onely on the land and all of them bring forth egges and have but two feete They have either whole feete or clawes Geese Duckes Swannes have whole feete to rowe in the water Other Birds for the most part have clawes as Doves Swallowes Hennes Sparrowes c. The insect of Fowles are Waspes Bees Hornetts Gnatts Flies These Creatures are they which live upon the earth those that live in the water are Fishes or of that kinde as the Sea-Horse the Sea-Dog c. Fishes many of them are like to Creatures living on the earth in their parts but they have not so much bloud therefore they are colder and moyster Fishes are soft or hard the soft have scales or onely a skin Of the scalie be the Carpe the Pearch Of the slimie be Eeles The harder fishes have plates as the Crabbe the Lobster c. Or shells as Oysters Mussells c. FJNJS
