the Heart but in the ouer-part they spring foorth of him and is fastened as a 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 kéepe the blood for his nourishing and the ayre to abate and temper the great heate that hée is in the which is kept in Concavities Now héere 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 I 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 betwéene the two Ventricles and therein it is made hot and pured and then it passeth into the left Ventricle and there is ingendred in it a Spirit that is cléerer 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 betwéene 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 it is called Arteria Venalis And this Arteir carryeth Blood from the Heart to the Lungs the which Blood is vaporous that is tryed and left of the Heart and is brought by this Artery to the Lungs to giue him Nutriment and there he receiveth of the Lungs ayre and bringeth it to the heart to refresh him with Wherefore Galen sayth that hée findeth that mans Heart is Naturall and friendly to the Lungs For he giveth him of his owne Mutrimentall to nourish him with and the Lungs reward him with ayre to refresh him with againe c. The other Artier that hath two Coates is called Vena Arterialis or the Great Artery that ascendeth and discendeth and of him springeth all the other Arteirs that spred to euery member of the Body for by him is vnited 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 vntill it come to the Braine and there he is turned into a further digestion and there hée taketh another Spirit and so is made animall and at the Liver nutrimentall and at the Testikles generatiue and thus it is made a spirit of euery kind so that hée being meane of all manner operations and workings taketh effect Two causes I find why these Arteirs haue two Coates One is that one Coate is not sufficient nor able to withstand the violent mooving and stirring of the Spirit of life that is carryed in them The second cause is that the thing that is carryed about from place to place is of so precious a Treasure that it had the more néed of good kéeping And of some Doctors this Artier is called the Pulsatiue Veyne or the beating Veyne for by him is perceived the power and might of the Heart c. Wherefore God and Nature haue ordained that the Arteirs haue two Coates Also there is in the Heart thrée 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 Also there is found in the Heart a Cartilaginous Auditament to helpe and strengthen the selfe Heart Also the Heart is covered with a strong Pannicle which is called of some Capsula Cordes or Paricordium the which is a strong case vnto whom commeth Nerues as to other inward members And this Pannicle Pericordium springeth of the vpper Pannicle of the Midriffe And of him springeth another Pannicle called Mediastinum the which departeth the Breast in the midst and kéepeth that the Lungs fall not over the Heart Also there is another Pannicle that covereth the Ribs 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 Anatomy 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 he is cold and moyst lapped in a Neruous Pannicle because it should gather together the softer substance of the Lungs and that the Lungs might féele by the meanes of the Pannicle that which he might not féele in himselfe Now to proue the Lungs to bée cold and dry of kind it appeareth by his swift stirring for hée lyeth ever waving ouer the Heart and about the Heart And that hée is cold and moyst in reward it appeareth well that he receiveth of the Braine many cold matters as Cataries and Rheumes whose substance is thinne Also I find in the Lungs thrée kinds of substance One is a Veyne comming from the Liver bringing with him the Crude or raw part of the Chylle to féed 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 fiue Lobbes or Pellikeles or fiue portions that is to say thrée 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 serue and doe their office And thrée causes I 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 were hurt and annoyed with the quantity of the ayre The third cause is that they should receiue from the heart the fumous superfluities that he putteth foorth with his breathing c. Behind the Lungs toward the Spondels passeth Myre or Isofagus of whom it is spoken of in the Anatomy of the Necke And also there passeth both Veynes and Arteirs and all these with Trachia Arteria doe make a Stoke replete vnto 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 over-thwart or in breath vnder the region of the Spirituall members departing them from the

II. The Anatomie of the simple Members ANd if it bee asked you how many simple Members there be it is to be answered Eleven and two that be but superfluities of Members and these be they Bones Cartâ—lages Nexâ—es Pannicles Ligaments Cordes Arteirs Veynes Fatnesse Flesh and Skinne and the superfluities bée the Haires and Nailes I shall begin at the Bone because it is the Foundation and the haidest Member of all the Body The Bone is a cosimile Member simple and spermaticke and cold and dry of Complexion insensible and inflexible and hath divers formes in Mans body for the diversity of helpings The cause why there be many Bones in mans body is this Sometime it is néedfull that one members or one limbe should mooue without another another cause is that some defend the principall members as both the Bone of the Brest and of the Head and some to bée the Foundation of divers parts of the Body as the Bones of the ridge and of the Legges and some to fulfill the hollow places as in the Hands and Féet c. The Gristle is a member simple and Spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Bone and is of complexion cold and dry and insensible The Gristle was ordained for sixe causes or profits that I find in it The first is that the continuall mooving of the hard Bone might not be done in a juncture but that the Gristle should be a meane betwéene the Ligament and him The second is 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 Ioynts that be grisly might the easier be foulded and nâ—wved 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 the sound The fifth is for that it is néedfull that some members be holden vp with a Gristle as the lids of the Eyes The sixt is that some Limbes haus 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 he is flexible and insensible is this If it had béene sensible he might not haue suffered the labour and mooving of the Ioynts and if it had not béene flexible of his bowing one Limme should not haue mooved without another The second profit is that he be joyned with sinewes for to make Cordes and Bawnes 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 Matrixe and Kidneys and divers other c. The Sinew is a consimiler member simple and spermatick a meane betwéene 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 Nerues sentatine and from Mynuca commeth thirty paire of Nerues motiue and one that is by himselfe that springeth of the last spondell All these sinewes haue both féeling and mooving in some more and in some lesse c. A Corde or Tendon is a consimple or officiall member compound and spermaticke sinowy strong and tough meanely betwéene 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 mone the members is intermingled with the Lygaments and when the sinewes and Lygaments are intermingled together then is made a Corde And for thrée causes I perceiue why the Cordes were made The first is that the sinew alone is so sensible that hée 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 féeling and bringeth him to a perfit temperance And so the Cordes moue the limbes to the will of the soule And this Corde is associated with a simple fâ—eâ—h 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 thréeds the which be called Will and this Will hath thrée 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 thréeds be gathered together to make another Muskle c. Now I will begin at the Arteir This Arteir is a member consimile simple and spermaticke hollow and finowie 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 haue 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 vaine and is more obedient to be delated abroad through all the Kings because that the blood might the sooner sweat through him whereas all other Arteirs haue 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 Liuer nutritiue blood to nourish euery member of the body with And it is so to be vnderstood that there is no more difference betwéene 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 Venacelis of whom it is too much to treat of now vntill 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 heate and is in complexion
marke the spreading for as it is of the one so it is of the other as thus when the branch is in the Arme-pit there hée is divided into two branches The one Branch goeth along in the inner side of the arme vntill it come to the bough of the Arme and there it is called Bazilica or Epatica and so goeth downe the Arme till it come to the wrist and there it is turned to the backe of the Hand and it is found betwéene the little finger and the next and there it is called Salvatella Now to the other Branch that is in the Arme-hole which spreadeth to the vtter side of the shoulder and there he divideth in two the one goeth spreading vp into the carnous part of the Head and after descendeth through the Bone into the Braine as it is declared in the Anatomy of the head The other branch goeth on the outward side of the Arme and there he is divided into two also the one part is ended at the hand and the other part is folded about the arme till it appeare in the bouget of the arme and there is called Sephalica from thence it goeth to the backe of the hand and appeareth betwéene the Thumbe and the foremost finger and there it is called Sephalica Ocularis The two Branches that I speake of which be divided in the hinder part of the shoulders from each of these two I say springeth one and those two méete together and make one Veyne which appeareth in the bough of the Arme and there it is called Mediana or Coadialis or Commine And thus it is to be vnderstood that of Vena Sephalica springeth Vena Ocularis and of Vena Bazilica springeth Vena Salvatella and of the two Veynes that méete springeth Vena Mediana and in ramefying from these fiue principall Veynes springeth innumerable of the which a Chirurgion hath no great charge for it sufficeth vs to know the principals To speake of Arteirs you shall vnderstand that wheresoever there is found a Veyne there is an Arteir vnder 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 wheresoeuer there goeth a Veyne to giue nutriment there goeth an Artier to bring the spirit of life Wherefore it is to bée noted that the Artiers lye more déeper in the flesh then the Veynes doe for they carry and kéepe in them more precious blood then doth the Veyne and therefore hée hath néed to bée further from dangers outwardly and therefore God and Nature haue ordained for him to be closed in two Coates where the Veyne hath but one The Breast of Thorax is the Arke or Chest of the spirituall members of man as saith the Philosopher where it is to bée noted that there be foure things containing and right contained as thus The foure containing are the Skinne Musculus flesh the Pappes and the Bones The parts contained are the Heart the Lunges Pannicles Lygaments Nerues Veynes Artiers Myre or Isofagus Now the Skinne and the flesh are knowne in their Anatomy 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 Nerues Veines and Artiers and by them they haue Coliganes with the Heart the Liver the Braine and the Generatiue members Also there is in the Breast as old Authors make mention lxxx or xc Muscles for some of them be common to the Necke some to the Shoulders and to the Spades some to Dyafragma or the Mydriffe some to the Ribbes some to the Backe and some to the Breast it selfe But I find certaine profitablenesse in the creation of the Pappes as well 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 digestiue vertue from red colour into white like the colour of the Pappes even as Chilley comming from the stomacke to the Liver is turned into the colour of the Liver Now to speake of the Bones of the Breast they bée said to bée triple or thrée fold and they be numbred to the seven in the Breast before and their lengthâ—s according to the breadth of the Breast and there extremities or ends be gristly as the Ribbes be And in the vpper end of Thorax is an hole or a concavity in which is set the foot of the Furkle-bone or Cannel-bone and in the nether end of Thorax against the mouth of the Stomacke hangeth a a Gristle called Ensiforme and this Gristle was ordained for two causes One is that it should defend the stomacke from hurt outwardly The second is that in time of fulnesse it should giue place to the stomacke in time of néed when it desireth c. Now to speake of the parts of the Backe behind foorth There be twelue Spondels through whom passeth Mynuca of whom springeth twelue paire of Nerues bringeth bath féeling and mooving to the Muscles of the Breast aforesayd And héere it is to be noted that in every side there be twelue Ribs that is to say seven true and fiue false because these fiue bée not so long as the other seven be and therefore called false Ribs as it may be perceived by the sight of the Eye Likewise of the parts that be inwardly and first of the Heart because hée is the principall of all other members and the beginning of life hée is set in the middest of the Breast severally by himselfe as Lord and King of all members And as a Lord or a King ought to be served of his Subjects that haue their living of him so are all other members of the Body subjects to the Heart for they receiue their living of him and they doe service many wayes vnto him againe The substance of the Heart is as it were Lazartus Flesh but it is spermaticke and an officiall member and the beginning of life and hée 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 mooving 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 vpwards and the sharpe end is downewards depending a little towards the left side And hée it is to be noted that the Heart hath blood in his substance whereas all other members haue it but in their Veines and Arteirs Also the Heart is bound with certaine Ligaments to the backe part of the Breast but these Lygaments touch not the substance of
the concavity of the bladder and the more that the Bladder is filled with Vrine the straiter bée the two Pannicles comprised together for the holes of the Tunicles be not even one against another and therefore if the bladder be never so full there may none goe backe againe The forme of it is round the quantity of it is a Pitcher full in some more in some lesse c. Also there is found two other vessels called Vaza Seminaria or the Spermaticke Vessels And they come from Venakelis bringing blood to the Tostikles as well in man as in woman the which by his further digestion it is made sperme or nature in men they be put outward for the Testikles be without but in women it abideth within for there Testikles stand within as it shall be declared hereafter Next followeth the Matrix in women the Matrix in women is an officiall member compound and Nerveous and in complexion cold and dry and it is the field of mans genertion and it is an instrument susceptiue that is to say a thing receiving or taking and her proper place is betwéne the Bladder and the Gut Longaon the likenesse of it is as it were a yard reversed and turned inward having Testikles likewise as aforesaid Also the Matrix hath two Concavities or Selles and no more but all Beastes haue as many Selles as they haue Pappes heads Also it hath a long Necke like an Vrinall and in every Necke it hath a mouth that is to say one within and another without The inner in the time of conception is shut and the vtter part is open as it was before and it hath in the middest a Lazartus Pannicle which is called in Latine Tengito And in the creation of this Pannicle is found two vtilities The first is that by it goeth forth the Vrine or else it should bée shed throughout all the Vulva The second is that when a woman doth set her Thighs abroad it altereth the ayre that commeth to the Matrix for to temper the heate Furthermore the Necke that is betwéene these two aforesaid mouthes in her concavity hath many involusions and pleates joyned together in the manner of Rose leaues before they be fully spread or ripe and so they be shut together as a purse mouth so that nothing may passe forth but vrine vntill the time of childing Also about the middle of this necke be certaine Veynes in Maydens the which in time of deflowring be corrupted and broken Furthermore in the sides of the vtter mouth are two Testicles or Stones and also two vessels of Sperme shorter then mans vessels and in time of Coyt the Womans sperme is shead downe in the bottome of the Matrix Also from the Liver there commeth to the Matrix many Veynes bringing to the Child nourishing at the time of a womans being with Child and these Veynes at such time as the Matrix is voyd bring thereto superfluities from certaine members of the Body whereof are engendred womans Flowers c. And forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God to giue the knowledge of these his Misteries and Workes vnto his Creatures in this present World Héere I â—â—ppose to declare what tâ—ing Embreon is and his Creation The noble Philosophers as Galen Avicen Bartholmeus and divers others writing vpon this matter say That Embreon is a thing engendred in the Mothers wombe the originall whereof is the Sperme of the Man and of the Woman of the which is made by the might and power of GOD in the mothers wombe a Child as hereafter more at large shall bée declared First the field of Generation called the Matrix or the Mother is knowne in the Anatomy whose place is properly betwixt the Bladder and Longaon in the Woman in which place is sowne by the Tillage of man a covenable matter of kindly heate For kindly heate is cause officient both of doing and working and Spirit that giveth vertue to the Body and governeth and ruleth that vertue the which Séed of generation commeth from all the parts of the Body both of the Man and Woman with consent and will of all Members and is shead in the placâ— of Conceiving where thorow the vertue of Nature it is gathered together in the Celles of the Matrix or the Mother in whom by the way of the working of mans Séede and by the way of suffering of the Womans Séed mixt together so that each of them worketh in other and suffereth in other there is engendred Embreon And further it is to bée noted that this Sperme that commeth both to man and woman is made and gathered of the most best and purest drops of Blood in all the body and by the labour and chaâ—ing of the Testikles or Stones this Blood is turned into another kind and is made Sperme And in man it is hot white and thicke wherefore it may not spread nor runne abroad of it selfe but runneth and taketh temperance of the Womans sperme which hath contrary qualities For the womans sperme is thinner colder and féebler And as some Authors hold opinion when this matter is gathered into the right side of the Matrix then it happeneth a Male kind and likewise on the left the Female and where the vertue is most there it favoureth most And further it is to bée noted that like as the Renet of the Chéese hath by himselfe the way or vertue of working so hath the Milke by way of suffering and as the Renet and milke make the Chéese so doth the sperme of Man and Woman make the generation of Embreon of the which thing springeth by the vertue of kindly heate a certaine Skin or Caule into the which it lappeth it selfe in wherewith afterwards it is tyed to the Mothers wombe the which covering commeth foorth with the byrth of the Childe and if it happen that any of the Skinne remaine after the byrth of the Child thâ—â— is the Woman in perill of her life Furthermore if is said that of this Embreon is ingendred the Heart the Liver the Braynes Nerues Veynes Arteirs Cords Lygaments Skins Gristles and Bones receiving to them by kindly vertue the menstruall blood of which is engendred both flesh and fatnesse And as writers say the first thing that is shapen be the principals as is the Heart Liver and Braine For of the Heart springeth the Artiers of the Liver the Veines and of the Brain the Nerues and when these are made Nature maketh and shapeth both Bones and Gristles to kéepe and saue them as the bones of the head for the Brain the Breast Bones and the Ribbes for the Heart and the Liver And after these springeth all other members one after another and thus is the Child bred forth in foure degrées as thus The first is when the said Sperme or Séed is at the first as it were Milke The second is when it is turned from that kind into another kind is yet but as a lumpe of Blood and this is called of Ipocras
