are either Principal or arising from the Principal 2 Principal are either such as proceed from the Heart as the great Artery called Aorta or the Vessels of the Lungs which are 1 Aspera Arteria or the Wind-pipe 2 Venosa Arteria 3 Those which arise from the great Artery are two 1 The lesser Trunk ascending 2 The greater Trunk descending All the rest of the Arteries which are innumerable are branched from these two Veins 1 Veins are either Principal or arising from the Principal The Principal are 1 Vena Porta which is distributed in the inferior ventricle 2 Vena Cava by the branches of which all the Body is nourished Between the Branches of which and the Branches of the Vena Porta is no intermixture 3 The Arterial vein which is distributed only to the Lungs 2 Arising from the Principal are either from the Vena Cava or from the Vena Porta of which some are Christned some are not I would have said some have Names and some have none 3 The Branches of the Vena Porta that have Names are 1 Coronaria if my Author be not mistaken for I have a shrewd suspition Coronaria is a Branch of the Vena Cava It is that which nourisheth the Heart and is in form of a Crown from whence it takes its name It is a smal Branch which the Vena Cava sends to the Heart to nourish it after it hath passed the Pericardium The Vena Cava carrying Natural Blood to the Heart to be converted into vital Blood first nourishes the Heart that so it may be able to perform its Office Nature being none of Pharaohs Task-Masters that will not set the Heart to make Bricks but it will give it straw to burn them with 2 Cystica and if I be not mistaken this the vein that carries the Choller to the Gall. 3 Gastriea γαστὴς signifies the Belly 4 Epiplois 5 Gastroepiplois 6 Hemorrhoidalis 7 Meseraicks 8 The Sweetbread which it seems my Author takes for a vein Neither can our Chyrurgions at present living tell what the true use of it is Their general consent is That it keeps the vessels from being hurt by the Back-bone Give me leave to shoot my bolt a little and you know a Fools bolt is soon shot All late Anatomists hold First That the Original of the Meseraick or if you please the Lacteal veins is the Sweetbread Secondly All hold nemine contradicente that the Liver delights in sweet things Thirdly General consent of Physitians also agrees That the Meseraick veins carry the Chyle from the Bowels to the Liver These being taken pro confesso my own Opinion is That the Office of the Sweetbread is to give the Chyle a sweet tast that so the work of the Liver may be pleasant to it and not distastful 4 The Trunk of the Vena Cava is either Superior or Inferior 1 From the Superior arise many veins of note 1 Cephalica 2 Basilica 3 Mediana or the middle vein 4 Salvatella 5 Cornalis and there my Author hit the Nail on the head 6 Solitaria 2 From the Inferior the chief veins are 1 The Emulgent Veins 2 The Seminal Veins 3 Saphaena 4 Hip Veins 5 You have the Principal parts Secundum quid Less Principal are Ligaments and Muscles Ligaments 1 Very few Ligaments have proper names 2 Some belong to the Head of Man others to the Trunk and others to the Limbs 3 The Ligaments of the Head are such as either 1 Knit the Head with the Back-bone 2 Knit the Tongue to the Jaws and Oh what pity is it they did not knit it closer what a deal of mischief might then have been saved 3 Such as knit the uper Jaw to the lower 4 The Ligaments of the Trunk are such as knit the Members either internally or externally 5 The Ligaments of the Joynts are two-fold 1 Some knit the Bones together 2 Others imbrace the Tendons like a Ring 6 A Tendon is no hing else but the extremity of a Muscle by which it moves the Joynts Muscles 1 The Muscles in all the Body are in Number 395. according to my Author of which he saith some belong to the ventricles and others to the Limbs But according to Dr. Read they are but 270. Popular Applause sounds out the praise of Dr. Read in Muscles My Authors Works are sufficient to speak for him The Use which I shal make of it is only for Information to shew what an uncertain Master They say so is 2 The Ventricles have 181. Of which some are Superior others Inferior and a third sort Mean between them both 3 Superior are 95. Of which some belong to the Head in general others to certain parts 4 Those which belong to the Head in general are nine pair of which seven extend the Head and compass it about the other two bow it 5 The Muscles of the other parts are 86. wherof 1 The Ear hath ten saith my Anthor and Dr. Read is just of the same Judgment of which saith he there is four pair on the outside and two on the inside The truth is I could never see any at all perhaps the Reason is because I never wore Spectacles 'T is probable there may be two Muscles on the inside of the Ear but those eight on the outside the Ear came newly from Utopia in the good Ship called the Ignorance That Beasts move their Ears by a proper or voluntary motion is certain but that Men do unless they move Head and al I never yet saw and as little beleeve What an abominable Master is Tradition Who would have thought my Author Partlicius and old Alexander Reade should have been led by the Nose by him Because Asses move their Ears must al Men be Asses And now I have left my Author a little I care not if I leave him a little longer and shew you whence this Error sprung as also what it is First They say The external Muscles of the Ear are four pair 1 They coyn one pair and cal them Par Attollens and these they say lift-the Ears up but whether I know not unless it be upon the Pillory 2 Par deprimens and they pull them down but mine stick up stil and so do every honest mans 3 Par adducens and they move them forward 4 Par abducens and they pul them backward 'T is wel Democritus is dead or else he would have burst his heart with laughing at this and died no other death Secondly The internal Muscles of the Ear they say are two One inward and the other ontward And if there be any Muscles at al about the Ears these are probably like to be they We wil now shew you what may probably be the Cause of these Errors They thought Galen was a famous man and so he was and rather than they would make a famous man infamous they would be infamous themselves Reade confesseth the motion of the Ears is obscure and so indeed it is being clouded with a Mist of Ignorance 1
and Pulses LIB II. Of the Doctrine of Pulses 1 PUlse hath his Original First From the Motion of the Heart Secondly Of the Arteries by Distention and Contraction which Physitians call Systolae and Diastolae and their use is to preserve Vital heat in the Body 2 In the Pulse are four things to be considered 1 The Reason and knowledg of them 2 Their Differences 3 Their Causes 4 Their Significations 1 The Reason of observing and knowing the Pulse 1 In this consider First The Precepts of Feeling the Pulse of which some concern the sick Body others the means of its cure Secondly The Principles which are necessary to distinguish the Pulse 2 The Difference of Pulses 1 Of Pulses some are absolutely 〈◊〉 others relatively such 2 Absolutely such are either Simple or Compound 3 Of simple are six kinds 1 In the quantity of Distention as great mean smal 2 In the quantity of the Force as vehement moderate weak 3 In Motion of Time as swift mean slow 4 In quantity of Time and Rest as often Mean seldom 5 In quantity of the Artery as soft mean hard 6 In perfusion of the Artery as full mean empty 4 Compound are such as consist of the mixture of some of these simples 5 Relatively such are reduced either to Order or Disorder Equality or In quality 3 The Causes of Pulses 1 The Causes of Pulses some are Primary 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Pulse some secundary changing and altering the Pulse 2 The Primary or Efficient Causes of the Pulse are 1 The Vital spirit either strong or weak 2 The Instruments are the Arteries either wide or narrow soft or hard 3 The use of the Pulse is the conservation of vital heat in the Body 3 The secundary causes which change the Pulse are 1 Natural as the Temperament Habit sex and age of the Body 2 Nor Natural as air meat and drink exercise and rest sleeping and watching fulness and emptiness and affections of the Mind 3 Things against Nature as Diseases and their symptomes 4 Prognosticks by the signification of the pulse 1 Greatness of the Pulse shews Heat 2 Vehemency shews strength of the Faculties 3 A weak Pulse shews weakness of Nature 4 Diseases of Love give an unequal and inordinate Pulse But herein let none mistake my Author for though Diseases of Love give alwaies such a 〈◊〉 it doth not therfore of necessity follow That such a Pulse alwaies shews Diseases of Love An Hermetical Consideration of the pulse 1 The Pulse is felt in five several places for it is not enough to feel it in the Wrest as Physitians now a daies do that care not how little they do for their money Let it be felt then first in the Hands and Feet then in the Breast then under the Armpits and last of all in the Temples If these agree together all wil go wel enough if not mind these things that follow 2 The Pulse hath four Vertues 1 Of Tartar which causeth a Pulse either hard circular or slow 2 Mineral which is either subtil or obscure 3 Of Health which is equal and mean 4 Of Disease which shews either Tartar or Mineral 5 Strange giving signs either of Heat or Coldness NOTE 1 When all the Pulse beat at one and the same time it is a laudible sign 2 Health is not only found out by the feeling of the Pulse but also by the color of them 3 When the Pulses are wel color'd it is a good 〈◊〉 Evil if discolor'd 4 When the place of the Pulse is hotter than the rest of the skin the Body is diseased 5 If the Pulse be Mineral put a little cold water upon the place and if the Pulse stop for a while it is a good sign 6 If the Disease come of heat of Blood you may know it thus Wet a piece of Silk in Role-water and lay it upon the Pulse that part of it upon the Pulse will sooner dry than the other part 7 If the Pulse be hard in one place and soft in another the Disease is Chronical 8 When the Body is near Death the Pulse is strongest in the Fore-head not so strong at the Neck weaker in the Hands and weakest of all in the Feet for the lower parts of Men die first 9 IN al Apoplexies the stronger the Pulse is the worse 10 In Frenzies Falling-sickness and Madness it is a good sign when the Pulse is the same out of the Fit that it is in the Fit 11 In Bloody Fluxes and all other Fluxes of the Belly though the Pulse remain as it did in Health give no credit to it for in such Diseases the Pulse remains til Death and somtimes a quarter of an hour after You have the Consideration of the Pulse The Consideration of the Urine follows LIB III. Of Vrine 1 URine is the Wheyish part of the Blood separated by the Vertue of the Reins 2 In it consider the Inspection Signification and Difference 3 In the Inspection of Urine consider the Acception and Caution 4 Cautions are 1 The Causes changing the Urine as Temperament Sex Age and Diet. 2 The Urines of Beasts or somthing else brought for the Urine of Men which is easily known by Smel The Significations and Differences of Vrine 1 It discovers the Constitution of the Parts by which it flows as the Reins Ureters Bladder and 〈◊〉 2 It shews the disposition which is in the Liver and Veins 3 It shews the disposition of those parts by which the peccant matter can be sent to the Veins or Urine 4 In Urine consider the Liquor it self and the things contained in it In the Liquor it self consider the substance quality and quantity 5 In the substance consider the Body and cleerness 6 The Body of the Urine is either 1 Thin in color white Saffron like Gold or Reddish 2 Mean of the color of Gold Saffron or reddish 3 Thick which is a Mixture of al colors and somtimes Oyly 7 The Perspicuity of the Urine is either cleer or troubled and it is of three sorts 1 Such as is cleer when 't is made and troubled afterwards 2 Such as is troubled when 't is made and cleer afterwards 3 Such as is troubled when 't is made and so continues 〈◊〉 The quantity of Urine is either Moderate Much or Little 9 The quality consists in smel or Color The smel of Urine is either sweet or stinking 10 In the Color consider the Causes and Difference 11 The Cause of the Color of Urine is the heat of the Bowels and mixture of other Humors and it is either white citrine subcitrine of the color of Gold or Saffron red and bloody green blue and black which is the worst of al. 12 Things contained in the Urine are either Essential or Accidental 13 Essential is 1 Towards the bottom of the Urine which being white light and equal is very good but being black is very bad 2 In the middle of the Urine which being white light and equal is indifferent if it
or according to place 5 The cause which stirs up a Disease by it self are either through fault of Quantity or Quality Through fault of Quantity is either a want of Blood and Spirits or a superabounding of Blood which is called Plethora 6 Want of Blood and Spirits proceeds 1 From the Constitution of the Body 2 From outward heat as of the Air Fire c. 3 From fasting 4 From Purging 5 From Watching 6 From Labor 7 From Joy 7 A Redundance of Blood or a Plethora distempers both Heart and Liver and is most incident to people of idle lives 8 The fault of the quality is called Cacochymia which is either 9 Confusedly of all things contained or particularly of some of them as 1 Of Humors as a hot cold moist or dry distemper 2 Of Matter when the Humors are too thick or too thin hard or turbulent 3 Of the Form when the Blood or Spirits are corrupted by putrefaction of humors 10 Cacochymia of certain things contained is of Choller Melancholly Flegm Watry Humors and Wind. 11 The Causes of Choller are 1 A hot and dry Temperament of the Liver and Heart 2 A frequent concourse of cool Air. 3 Hot and dry Nourishment 4 The Evacuations of Choller stopped 5 Vehement Exercise 6 Immoderate Watching 7 Anger 12 Choller is either Natural or against Nature Natural is either Nourishing or Excrementitious Against Nature is either in the Liver or in the Vessels 13 The Causes of Melancholly are 1 A dry Liver and Heart and a stopped Spleen 2 Cold and dry Air. 3 Much feeding upon gross food 4 Usual Evacuation stopped 5 Care and much Watching 6 A sad life 14 Melancholly is either Natural or against 〈◊〉 Natural is either Nourishing or Excrementitious Against Nature is hot and sharp 15 The Causes of a Cacochymia of Flegm are these 1 A moist Temperature of the Heart and Liver 2 A cold and moist Stomach 3 Cold and moist Air. 4 The use of cold and moist food 5 The avoiding of Flegm by the Mouth and Fundament stopped 6 An idle lazy life 7 Much sleep 8 Leading a life without Care 16 Flegm is either within the Veins or without Within the Veins it is either Natural or against Nature Natural is either more or less Nourishing 17 The Causes of a Cacochymia of Water are 1 The Stomach cold the Liver and Spleen stopped 2 Cold and moist Air. 3 Moist Food 4 Retention of usual sweating or urine or accustomed Evacuation 5 An idle life 6 Immoderate sleep 7 Sadness 18 The Causes of a Cacochymia of Wind are 1 A cold and moist Stomach 2 Cold Air. 3 Windy Meat 4 Retention of Excrements 5 Idleness 19 The Internal Causes of Diseases by Accident or according to the seat of the Body are either in the first second or third Region A Cacochymia may occupy al the Regions of the Body or but one of them A Plethora is conversant in the second and third Regions only or in but one of them What my Author means by Region here I know not unless he mean the Ventricles 20 The humor is gathered together in any part either by Congestion or by 〈◊〉 21 In every Fluxion are four things to be considered 1 The matter which is moved 2 The way by which it is moved 3 The part sending it 4 The part receiving it 22 The Matter flows either by Transmission or Attraction 23 The Causes of Transmission are either the violence of the Matter or the plenty of it stirring up the Expulsive Faculty 24 The Causes of Attraction is unnatural heat Grief Motion Rubbing Consent of Parts 25 You have the Universal Causes both Internal and External The Particular follow The Causes of the Diseases of the Parts both Similar Organical and Common 1 The Causes of the Diseases of the Similar parts are either Evident or Antecedent and Consequent 2 Evident are such as make a desperate attempt upon al the Body and afflict the Spirits the Humors and Substance of the parts if they be strong there wil be some quoil to get them out again 3 Antecedent and Consequent though they be of another temper and quality yet they afflict the parts of the Body by Contagion 4 The Cause of Organical Diseases are of Conformation Magnitude Number or Place 5 Of Conformation are the Figures of the Parts Passages Cavities or Superficies 6 The Figures of the Parts are inverted either through the fault of the Seed or Womens Blood in the Womb or default of the Midwife at the Delivery or by the fault of the Physitian in giving Physick after the delivery or by accident as blood-letting Convuisions c. 7 The Causes of 〈◊〉 of the Passages and Cavities are either of too much dilation or too much straitness 8 The Causes of Dilation are either opening Medicines or the Expulsive Faculty strong and the Retentive weak 9 Dilation of the Vessels proceeds either from the plenty and quantity of Humors or else from their quality 10 Diseases of straitness proceed either from Obstruction or Constipation Contraction or Compression 11 The Causes of Superficial Diseases are roughness and smoothness Of roughness are such things as are sharp clensing and corroding Of smoothness such things as are Glutinous 12 The Causes of the greatness of the Disease are either encrease as plenty of Matter strength of Nature Wind c. Or decrease as weakness of the Spirits defect of Matter Wounds Bleeding Putrefaction 13 The Causes of accidental Diseases and their Symptomes are understood by themselves but of Compound Diseases by the Causes of the Simple 14 Thus-much of Aethiologie Nosologie follows which is either General or Special LIB VI. Of General Nosologie 1 GEneral Nosologie is that Art which sheweth the 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 of Diseases 2 A Disease is an Affect against Nature wherby the Actions of the Body are viciated 3 A Disease is Essential or Accidental 4 An Essential Disease is Particular or Common Particular are either Similary Organical or Dissimilary 5 Similar is 1 A Distemper either Simple as Hot Cold Moist or Dry or Compound as Cold and Moist Cold and Dry Hot and Moist Hot and Dry. 2 Immoderation of the Matter as when the Part is either too hard or too soft too loose or too much bound too thick or too thin 3 A Corruption of the whol Substance which is either Infectious or Venemous 6 An Organical 〈◊〉 is either of the Conformation Number and Bigness or Place 7 A Disease of Conformation is either in the Form or passages of the Body 8 A Disease of Bigness is when the Members of the Body are either bigger or less than they should be 9 A Disease of the Number is when the Members are either more or less than they should be 10 A Disease of the place is when Members are not in their right places as in Ruptures and Dislocations Accidental Diseases 1 Accidental Diseases are either in respect of Number or Composition and both of them are either Singular or
Manifold 2 Singular is either Simple or Compound Simple is either by it self or with company 3 Manifold is either Implicite Joyned or Disjoyned 4 Joyned is when the Effect of one is the Cause of another 5 Disjoyned are such as lie in 〈◊〉 parts 6 Implicite Diseases are when divers parts conspire together to afflict one Function as a Pleuresie and an Asthma both afflict the Lungues and by the Lungues the Breathing 7 The Substance of some Diseases is like a Tenant at will quickly removed the Cause being taken away as Feavers Others by tract of time are become Habitual to the Body as Hectick Feavers Diseases according to the Place 1 According to the Place they are taken either from the Subject or adjunct Those which are taken from the Subject are taken either from the Parts or from the Constitution of Man Those which are taken from the Adjunct are taken in respect of the Region and Air. 2 The Diseases of the Body are either Universal or Particular Universal as Feavers or Particular to some parts of the Body as pain in some particular Member c. 3 A Disease by reason of the Constitution of a Man is taken 1 From the Nature of the Man and so is more familiar to one Complexion than another 2 From the Age and so is most familiar to Child-hood Youth Manhood old age 3 From Sex and so is most familiar to Men or Women 4 In respect of the Region 1 Some are scattered up and down here and there and are called Sporadical 2 Others are Common and are called Pandemical 3 Some are proper to one place as Agues to Fenny Countreys and are called Endemical 4 Others rage at some particular times and are called Epidemical Diseases according to Time 1 They are taken in respect of the Time of the Disease or the Time of the Yeer 2 The time of the Disease is taken according to the parts of the Disease or the Disease it self 3 The parts of a Disease are the Beginning Encrease Station and Declination 4 The Disease it self is to be taken in respect of its Continuing 5 The Continuing of a Disease is either short Long or Chronical Short is either with danger or without danger and in both it is either very Acute or Acute and in these either Symply or by Degeneration 6. In respect of the Continuance of it it is either Continual or Intermitting 7 In both these consider their Beginning Encrease Station and Declination 8 In respect of time some Diseases are most frequent in the Spring some in Autumn some in Summer some in Winter Diseases according to Custom 1 They are taken according to the Nature or according to the Event of the Disease According to the Nature it is either Gentle or Malignant 2 According to Event it is either Healthful or deadly curable incurable or threatning relapse Diseases according to Magnitude 1 A Disease is either great or smal 2 A Disease is great either by it self or by accident By it sesf three waies 1 In respect of its kind proper Essence or Cause 2 In-respect of its active Power 3 In respect of its ill Conditions or ill Symptomes A Disease is great by Accident 1 In respect of the part afflicted if that be Noble as a Disease in the Head is greater than one of the Toe 2 In respect of the Faculty of the Body that is hurt by the Disease and so deprivation of Sences is greater than the Tooth-ach Diseases according to Cause 1 They are caused either Essentially or according to Consent 2 Some are inbred or Hereditary others not Hereditary but advantitious 3 Advantitious are of Blood Choller Flegm Melancholly and each of these are either Internal or External 4 Thus much of Nosologia in the General the Special follows 5 Special Nosologie is that which Numbers up al the special Diseases which afflict Nature 6 These arise either from Natural Causes or External 7 From Natural Causes are either Universal which occupy the whol Body as Feavers Or such as occupy only particular parts of the Body Of both which in order LIB VII Of Feavers A Feaver is a heat against Nature proceeding from the Heart to the rest of the Body 2 Its Considerations are 1 The common Affections namely the disposition of the Body and the Signs 2 The Differences of the Feavers 3 The Disposition of the Body is either Internal or External Internal in respect of Temperament Sex and Age. External in respect of Heat either of the Fire Sun or Bath drinking Wine use of Spice and hot Meats or heat of Air. 4 The Signs are General as swift Pulse and frequent heat of Body and failing of strength 5 The Differences of Feavers are taken 1 From the Quality of the Subject 2 From the Quantity 3 From the Essence 6 Feavers from the quality of the Subject are taken 1 From the Feeling as such as come with cold fits at the first or without cold fits 2 From the Sight as with red high color or swarthy color 3 From the Tast as such as proceed of salt Flegm 7 Feavers from the Quantity are either continually great mean or but light short or long most violent in the night or in the day 8 A Feaver from the Essence of the Subject is either common to al as Pestilential Feavers Or 9 Proper only to those that keep ill Diet. 10 A Pestilential Feaver is caused by breathing in a Venemous and Malignant Air. 11 The Causes of Feavers properly to be considered are 1 Of the Heart as a Hectick Feaver 2 Of the Spirits joyned to the Heart as one day Feaver 3 Of Humors joyned to the Heart as a continual Feaver 12 The Degrees of a Hectick Feaver are four A Consumption 1 Of the Fat of the Heart 2 Of the Moisture between the 〈◊〉 and the Heart 3 Of the strings of the Flesh consuming 4 Of the strings of the Flesh consumed and is called Marasmus And this is two fold First Of Cold and Driness as happens to all people that die with Age. Secondly Of Heat and Dryness which is contrary to Nature and the disease now mentioned 13 Feavers that have their Original from the Spirits are 1 One-day Feavers 2 Such as last three daies as Synochus non putrida 3 Such as encrease from the beginning to the end called Achmastica 4 Such as decrease from the beginning to the end called Parachmastica 5 Such as stand alwaies at one stay as 〈◊〉 14 Of the Humors ariseth Synochus or a continual Feaver either of Inflamation or Blood or Blood which is not putrefied or of Choller which is putrefied 15 A putrefied Feaver is either Primary or not Primary 16 Primary is either Continual or Intermitting 17 Continual is 1 Without Remission coming of thick Choller as a continual burning Feaver 2 With Remission which is 〈◊〉 ordinate or inordinate and so you have either a Remitting Quotidian Tertian or Quartan Feaver which are 〈◊〉 according as the Chollrer is in heat or thickness

Anatomy of the Hand the Foot remains V. The Anatomy of the Foot 1 The Foot is the Instrument of Walking and contains all that part that is between the Hip-bone and the top of the toes and imitates the Hand as much as may be It is divided into three parts the Thigh the Leg and that which we cal the Foot which is also divided into three parts Tarsus Metatarsus and the Toes 2 Parts of the Foot are either Containing or Contained The Parts Containing are either Proper or Common The Common are Scarf-skin Skin Flesh Membrana and Fleshy Panicle Proper is the Membrana of the Muscles 3 Parts contained are Muscles Vessels and Bones The Muscles are either the thigh leg foot or toes 4 The Muscles of the Thigh are eleven of which 1 Five stretch it out as Gluteus major Me dius minor Iliacus Externus Piriformis and Triceps 2 Three Muscles bow it as Lumbalis 〈◊〉 internus Lividus 3 The other move it Circularly 5 The Muscles of the Leg are ten whereof 1 Five bend it as Longissimus Gracilis Senervosus Biceps 〈◊〉 2 Some extend it as these four Membranosus Vastus internus externus 〈◊〉 3 The other Muscle Popliteus moves it oblickly 6 The Muscles of the Feet are eight of which 1 Five extend it as Castrominius internus externus Plantaris Soleus Tibiaeus Posticus 2 The other three bend it as Tibiaeus anticus and the two Periei 7 The Muscles of the Toes are twenty three whereof some bend them some extend them and others draw them transversly 8 The Vessels of the Feet are Veins Arteries and Nerves 9 The Vein of the Leg is branched 1 Into the Saphaena which passeth by the inside of the Ancle where it is branched into four parts and distributed amongst the Toes This is the vein which is opened in afflictions of the Womb and Head 2 Ischias which passeth by the outward part of the Leg. 3 That which passeth to the Muscles

Muscles 11 The Nerves arise from the Marrow of the Back and pass through either the Joynts of the Loyns or the Os Sacrum 12 The Bones in each Foot are forty six One of the Thigh one Patella two of the Knee two of the Leg and forty of the Foot Thus you have the Parts Containing The Parts Contained are such as are fluid soft and upheld by others Parts Contained 1 Parts contained are either Humors or Spirits 2 Humors are either Natural or Influential 3 Natural is that which is called Humidum Radicale 4 Influential is either Primary or Secundary 1 Primary is either Natural or not Natural 2 Natural is either 1 Nourishing 2 Excrementitious 3 Participates of both 5 Nourishing is Blood and Flegm Excrementitious is either Profitable or Unprofitable 6 Profitable is Milk Seed the Water of the Blood and the Water arising from the first Concoction 7 Unprofitable are Tears Snot Spittle Menstruis Blood Sweat and Urine 8 Those which are both Excrementitious and Nourishing are Choller and Melancholly 9 Humors not Natural are the same with these only they keep not a due Decorum in Quantity Quality Motion and Rest. 10 They offend in Quantity two waies either by Abundance or Defect 11 Abundance or Repletion is two-fold Plethora and Cacochymia 12 Cacochymia is either Simple or Compound Simple is of Choller Flegm and Melancholly 13 The failings of Quality are either more Common or more Proper More Common are Corruption Putrefaction Malignity Crudity 14 More Proper are in respect of certain Humors and so 1 Choller corrupted is 1 Vitiline or like Yolks of Egs. 2 Eruginous like Vert-de-greece 3 Prassine like Juyce of Herbs 4 Azure 2 Flegm is 1 Acide sowr like Vinegar 2 Vitrial like melted Glass 3 Salt like Brine 4 Gypsum like white Mortar 3 Melancholly adust proceeding either of burnt Blood burnt Choller or salt Flegm 15 Thus much of Hmors the Spirits remain 16 Spirits are insited in or influential 17 Spirits insited in are two either innate Moisture or innate Heat 18 Spirits Influential are either Vital or Animal 19 The Innate Spirit according to Hermetical Phylosophers is An Astral and vital Body a Natural Balsom a vital Sulphur and a vital Mummy Hitherto of a Corporal Anatomy A Vertual Anatomy follows Hermetical Phylosophers 1 They have a double kind of Anatomy the one Local the other Essential Vital or Formal 2 The Local say they is that which every Butcher doth when he cuts open an Ox or a Calf which although Hermetical Phylosophers do not reject yet they would not have Physitians spend all their daies in pering upon that and neglect businesses of greater import 3 A vi tal Anatomy is that which dissolves every Body into its first Principles He that drives such a Model of Physick ought to be wel versed in the Natures and Properties of Seeds the Office of Elements and Principles the Generation and transplantation of Roots the Motion and Influence of the Heavens and Heavenly Bodies the Disposition not only of Dead but also of Living Bodies They do not cal that Lump of Flesh only the Heart which others do but whatsoever hath vital heat in it They cal every Cavity the Stomach nay every place in which there is any Concoction Every place 〈◊〉 contains any fruitful Seed is a Womb with them But the main Basis of their Art is the Harmony of the Creation and the due Consideration of that notable Agreement between things above and things below Tome I. Part IV. Of Vertual Anatomy Or the Harmony between the Macrocosm and Microcosm VErtual Anatomy teacheth the Harmony between one part of the Creation and another the Analogical Comparation and Reductions of things therby fetching its remedies and learning their strengths and vertues from the Book of Nature not of Galen 2 For whatsoever is in the Universal World is also in Man not according to a certain superficial similitude as some Fools prattle but in Deed and in Reality are contained in him whatsoever is in the whol Theater of the World 3 The Spirit of a Man communicates with God himself the Rational Soul with the Angels and the Body with the Stars and Earth 4 Paracelsus and most other Hermerical Phylosophers hold that Man hath a double Body the one Natural Elementary visible and tangable which was first made of the Slime of the Earth the other Invisible Insensible deduced from the Coelestial Influence of the Stars and this Crollius cals the Genius of Man his Domestick Laris the Instructer of Wise Men for he cannot abide Fools 5 This Analogical Comparation is to be considered in a double Manner 1 In respect of the Heavenly Bodies themselves 2 In respect of Medicines caused by their Influence Of these the Galenists knew either very little or nothing at all
