Of the Fruit in the Womb. TO the Body of the Mother we adjoyn the contemplation of the fruit in the Womb because it is a part of it though temporary as not only the community of substance and nourishment but also the nexure of the Secundine and Umbilicar vessels to the Womb witnesseth this Fruit we consider as genuine and nourished by the Womb and as being fitting to breath the air it breaks out from that narrow inclosure The small Body of the Embrion is formed by the vital vertue of the Seed of the Man from which office it is called Plastica of which by the appointment of God himself by his infinite wisdom goodness and power he hath left not only obscure foot-steps but also cleer arguments to this the heat of the Seed and Nourishment from the Mother administers the Compendium that doth this great work is very small not exceeding the bigness of a great Emmet from which that is first formed without which life cannot be preserved to wit the Heart and from it the veins and arteries as from their Basis afterwards the Liver and then other parts which come first into use That the Heart is first formed before any other part your eyes will witness if you dilligently contemplate the framing of the Embrion in Eggs and although the Heart be very little and altogether white yet by reason of the blood contained in each Ventricle it hath a transparent redness to be distinguished from the other parts The motion of the Heart helps and confirms this for so soon as any blood is to be seen in the Veins of the Embrion the Heart being full of blood moves with a swift yet ordinary pulse so often as it is dilated it receives blood into its Ventricles so often as it is compressed it casts it out and this appears in the Heart whilst it is white though something increased Besides it must first be formed by reason of its singular plenty of heat which no other part of the Body is equally endewed with Lastly necessity requires its first formation that so by its motion the vital Spirit may be stirred up increased and distributed to the Body The matter of which the first forming sisteme of the Body is produced is the Seminal substance in the Body of the Mother which passing from the Tubae to the bottom of the womb to which the Seed of the Man ads heat and Spirit and to the increase and maintaining of it is the Blood of the Mother required this comes not at all to that first mixture from the Seed neither doth it make any Parenchyma but after an interval of time the Umbilicar vessels and Heart being framed it is drawn and takes its redness with the Muscles Of the parts procreated some lose their use others retain it so long as life lasteth such as lose their use are the Navil and its Vessels the the Membranes which compass the Child in the womb and the Placenta the use of these ceaseth so soon as the Child is brought forth to light The Navil is a Membranous ducture by which the Vein and Arteries arise from the child to the Mothers Womb both this and the Secundine wants Nerves because they have no use of sence It is of a famous length even in the very beginning of the Formation although the bigness of the Embrion at beginning be no bigger than a great Emmit or a small Bee but when the Fruit is ready for extramission the Navil-string is three spans long and as thick as ones finger both for the strength of the Vessels the perfecting of the blood by its long passage the commodious motion of the Child and the easier drawing out the Secundine it hath no distinct nodes yet is it wreathed and unequal for the easier bowing of the included vessels The rise of the Navil is from the middle of the Abdomen that the inclination of the Head and Breast of the Child might be the readier towards the mouth of the Womb at the biginning of the Embrion it swims in the Liquor of the Amnios but when it is more perfected it is bowed for the most part above the Breast and produced backwards by the hinder part of the Head to the Fore-head and joyned to the womb by Membranes and the contained Vessels The Vessels contained in the Navil are one vein and two arteries the vein is largest and takes its Original from the Foundation of the Vena porta within the Liver therefore it descends by the Arteries of the Liver to the Navil and being divided into very many branches above the Chorion it joyns its self to the Womb and carries Blood for the nourishment of the Infant The Umbilicar Arteries take their Original from the Iliack branches of the great Artery from which place being stretched upwards by the sides of the Vrachos they enter the Navil and are manifoldly distributed above the Corion with the Veins they carry vital Spirit and communicates it to the Child It is farre enough off from the truth that these vessels passe to the Child from the Mothers womb and the Membranes adjacent for in the young ones of Birds it is easie to be seen that Nature deduceth the Veins and Arteries from the Fruit it self inclosed in its Secundines and by degrees
place they move in growing loose the Lungues grow lighter and gently draw in some air and this is cleer because sometimes a sound is heard of the Fruit not only in Bruits but also in Women The Heart moves in the Embrion so soon as the Mothers Blood flows to it which it perfects within its Ventricles and endews it with vital Spirit that so it may preserve and stir up the faculties of other parts the parts of the Ears of the Heart is distinct in respect of time from other parts for they first of all compel the Blood into the Heart by compressing themselves then by dilating themselves draw Blood again As for the Head the neerer a Child is to Birth the heavier it is it is distinguished by certain great Bubbles which to the beholders gave opinion of the three Regions of the whole Body the balls of the Eyes are great and stick out the Brain is almost fluid and the Nerves very soft the Bones of the Skul like tender barks and if you except the fore-head distinguished by no Sutures The Crown is covered only with a thin Membrane till the Bones of the fore-head and hinder part of the Head are joyned the passages of hearing with the adjoyning Bones Os Cribrosum and the Horns of the Hyois are Cartilaginous And yet which is strange such Children as are brought forth in the ninth month the hardness and greatness of the Bones of the passage of hearing is almost equal to those in Men of perfect age and not these only but that also which is called the Tympanum the Membrane of which is comprehended with the ring-like Bone which gives the foundation of hearing also the Labyrinth and Cochlea are not less in bigness than by proportion of Figure to perfection whence it is cleer that a Child soonest obtains perfection of Hearing The Bone called Cuneiforme is divided into four parts the Bones of the fore-head and inferior Cheek are manifestly divided The teeth lies hid in the Jaws least the Child in stead of sucking should bite the roots of them are soft and mucous and hide the Fundamentals of the second Teeth The Vertebrae have no processes but consists of three distinct Bones of which the foremost which is the greatest is like a Lupine the two hinder are less and by their meeting make that hole for the Marrow of the Back The Sternum is divided into four parts and sometimes into more as also the Os Ischium Ilâ—um and Pubis The extremity of the Bones which make the Wrest and Ancles are Cartilaginous and obtain hardness strength and perfection by age Place here the first and second Tables of the eighth Chapter which hath the Number 8. and 9. at the corner of the brass Plates AN EXPLANATION OF THE FIRST TABLE OF THE EIGHT CHAPTER The Fruit in the Womb being often helped by Physical Remedies requires no less diligent observation than the Body it self of Man therefore we have given you the representation of it in two Tables according to the Method of Dissections The first of which laies open to your view the Umbilicar Vessels and the Sceleton The other the Deliniament of the Bowels FIG I.

Of the Heart and Lungues THE Heart and Lungues occupy the Cavity of the Breast although the Oesophagus Wind-pipe and common vessels have also their proper places in it Before we can behold the Heart we must remove the Pericardium by which the Heart is wrapped round It is of a Membranous substance and not only contains the Heart in its proper place but also defends it from injuries neither is this Tunicle single but is observed to be outwardly the same with the Mediastinum inwardly to proceed from the vessels produced from the Heart It hath smal Veins from the Phrenical its Arteries are are scarce conspicuous It hath Nerves from the external and internal branch of the sixt pair and its Recurrens although the right branch of those Nerves which are carried to the Diaphragma passe by the out side of it it is very neer the Heart only there is that Interval between the Heart and it which is commodious for the motion and pulsation of the Heart about the Basis of the Heart where it is joyned to the Mediastinum it gives passage to the Veins and Arteries It contains in it a thin Liquor gathered of resolved vapors whereby the driness and suddain heaviness of the Heart is allaied The Heart it self which is the Prince of all the Bowels and the Fountain of vital heat and Spirit by whose flourishing the Creature flourisheth and by whose languishing it languisheth and by whose failing it dies I call it the Fountain not of that primoginial heat produced by the substance of the Seed but of the influential heat which is taken from nourishment or drawn by Blood It consists of a thick and compact substance that it may not only keep that hot and vital Spirit to its self but also communicate to the whole Body by the Arteries It hath a proper Membrane of its own which is very thin and yet very strong The coronal Vein and Artery are distributed about the exterior part of it the Vein from the Vena Cava which by a Moon-like shutter stops the Blood running back the Artery from the great Artery which gives his branches most especially to the left side of the Heart it hath Nerves from the next branches of the sixt pair which are distributed to the fleshy substance of the Heart and are scarce observable to any of those which come to the Pericardium we have spoken before of which that which proceeds from the left Recurrens gives a branch to the Basis of the Heart neither can the Heart want these for its motion sake because it moves before the animal faculty gives either Sence or motion It hath very many Spermatical parts according to the recess of its Cavities like Nerves in form but larger and if you dilligently view them in a Dissection you shall find they have a pore within The greater part of the Heart is covered with fat which preserves it from consuming which sometimes is so copious that the blind South-sayers that judged by the entrails of beasts said they had no Hearts because they could not see them for fat There hang appendices neer the Basis of the Heart on each side and by reason of their likeness they call Eears and their substance is almost like Save only that the left is a little more solid they are both of them hollow and full of Nervous strings yet the Heart being contracted Systole it may receive the Blood flowing into it and return it back again the bigness of the Heart in Man is famous though various according to age and Temperament It is divided into the Basis or broadest part and the top which is the narrowest and ends in a poynt It hath two Ventricles the right and the left the right is the thinner but the larger distinguished by a thin and fleshy portition which sometimes being doubled makes a third From the right Ventricle the Vena Cava takes its original whose beginning is strong being Membranous with shutters at the end that it may administer Blood to the Heart to perfect I call it a vessel because it contains a liquid substance to be distributed to all the parts of the Body and a Membranous vessel on it consists of its own proper Tunicle which is single and soft that it may the better draw the blood by inosculations and yet for safeguard in its progresse where it lies more open it is covered with the covering of the adjacent parts Also the Provident Creator hath added shutters to it to wit very thin Membranes in form like a
half Moon which looks towards the beginnings of the Veins which set a moderation to the preternatural motion of the Blood out of the great Veins into the less these although they may be seen in the Mesenterick Splenical emulgent Azygus and jugular Veins yet are they more freequent in the Veins of the Limbs which we shall treat of in the last Chapter from these the three shutters about the mouth of the Vena Cava differ a little in form and from their form Authors call them Tricuspides these are joyned to the Nervous strings of the Heart and withstand the regresse of the Blood into the Vena Cava The Vena Cava arising up above the Heart produceth the Azygus or Vein without a fellow the branches of which are commonly distributed to the inferior Ribs the inferior portion of this descending neer the fleshy portion of the Diaphragma is inserted again on the left to the Emulgent on the right side to the Vena Cava and to the first of the Loyns the Institution of Nature being various herein which sometimes the Azygus being let passe produceth a famous Vein from both Subclavian branches of the Vena Cava neer the Mammaries which is stretched out all along the Breast even to the Os Sacrum from which both all the intercostal Veins and the Lumbals proceed when the Vena Cava arives at the Throat it is divided into two large branches called Subclavian from which the superior intercostal the internal Mammary the Mediastina the cervical and Vein called Muscula arise above the interior and exterior jugular and the superior Muscula are produced Also from the right Ventricle of the Heart ariseth a vein which for its double Tunicle is called Arteriosa which being distributed both to the right and left part of the Lungues by great branches administers Blood freely to them about the bnginning of it are three Membranous shutters very conspicuous looking outwards called Sigmoides from their form they shut in the Blood which flows back from the compressure of the Lungues but is indeed an Artery not a Vein for besides the substance of an Artery which it hath it hath also pulsation as well as the rest of the Arteries as the Dissection of Creatures alive shews and it carries Blood already attenuated by the Heart The left Ventricle of the Heart is smaller than the right but more fleshy whereby it stirs up the Spirit in the received Blood both by its self and by its stronger motion and this is called vital The great Artery called Aorta takes its beginning from this a Membranous vessel in continual pulsation while life remains of a shining colour and distributes the Blood being absolutely perfected in the Heart to the whole Body Its substance is more Nervous than a vein and covered with a double Tunicle of which the internal is the thicker and is sometimes stiffe in old age so that in and neer the Heart it represents a Bony circle the external is thin to which the Membranes of the adjoyning parts ad strength At its beginning are three shutters conspicuous and are called Lunar from their Figure and keep the Blood from returning back again into the Heart neither is there any other shutters in all its Progress for the strength of the internal tunicle doth not easily suffer dilation and besides there is no delay in the passage of blood in it Its blood is hotter fuller of spirits and of a brighter colour and seeing the distribution of it by pulse is continual the heart must needs be continually supplied by the Vena Cava to fill its Ventricles and this causeth a perpetual motion of Blood to the Heart more or less for the very same end Nature hath placed the veins as companions to the arteries that they might readily receive what might be administred to the emptying of the Heart for the exact knowledg of which our age is beholding to William Harvey The descending Trunk of the great Artery as it distributes the inferior intercostal Arteries the Phrenical and others which we discoursed of when we treated of the Abdomen so passing out of the Heart it is divided into two large subclavian branches from which before they pass out of the Breast ariseth below the superior intercostal Artery and a little higher the interior Mammary the Vertebral and Cervical the remainder of the great Artery produceth the Carotides on both sides the internal and external branch of which rise up to the head Neer to those Vessels about the Throat are the Thymus a soft and spongy piece of flesh which underproppeth them for their safe-guard From the left Ventricle of the Heart proceeds an Artery which the Ancients call Venosa because it hath but one Tunicle and dividing its branches it is carried to the right and left region of the Lungues taking the Blood mixed with Air to its self and carrying it to the left Ventricle of the Heart It hath two shutters to stay the blood from flowing back from the Heart into it which Authors call Mitrae because they are like a Cardinals Cap but this vessel is rather to be called a Vein than an Artery because its substance is the same with the Veins neither hath it pulse as Arteries have it carries the Blood tempered with Air to the Heart Between the Ventricles of the Heart is a partition called Septum which is hollowish toward the left side but gibbous towards the right having very many small holes many passages come to this same Septum of a various bigness from the Vena Cava and the Arteria Venosa which cloath the Basis of the Ventricles and administer necessary Blood unto them In temperature the Heart is without doubt the hottest of all the Bowels its Basis is in the middest of the Breast only the top of it inclines towards the left side as it moves it is joyned to the next parts by its Vessels and by the Pericardium to the Mediastinum and Diaphragma It s proper action is to perfect the Blood and to give it heat and vital spirit and motion which is called Pulse this is distinguished into Systole when the Heart drawing its self together expels the Blood and Diastole when it extends its self to receive it According to the opinion of the Ancients only the Heart consumes not in lasting diseases and yet it often happens that it doth pine by reason of hot distempers sometimes a glandulous substance makes its passages straight and sometimes they are filled with Flegm whereby the sick loseth his life leisurely and by degrees On both sides of the Heart are the Lungues which are dissimilar parts of the middle Ventricle and by drawing in the cold air and returning back the fuliginous vapors they cool the vital heat therefore that they may every where be filled and distended they are composed of a soft substance rare and subtil and covered with a porous Membrane they receive very large vessels the Arterial vein from the right and the Venal artery from
divideth them into lesser branches It doth the like in vegetables whose roots come not from the Earth to the Plants but the Plants send them to the Earth for nourishment and this is abundantly proved in Bulbous roots that grow out of the Earth neither comes this opinion neer the truth that the Arteries umbilicar vein are framed before the Heart and Liver for neither Heart nor Liver is made of Blood but of Seed and the whole Systeme of the Body is made before any vessels passe from it for before the Bowels are formed there is no need of vessels as the Conception of living Crearures and the Seeds of Plants evidently demonstrates The Vrachus is added to the Umbilicar vessels being a Membranous Body round and porous within arising from the Basis of the Bladder and attenuated towards the Navil it delivers the Urine from the Bladder to the Amnios and yet this seems doubtful to these who behold the solidity of this vessel the smalness of its pore and the obscurity of its passage out by the Navil but so soon as the Infant is born whatsoever of the Navil string is left to the Body after it is cut off its former use ceasing is turned into a Ligament The Membranes which compass about the Child in the womb are two of which that which is next the Body of it is called Amnios being soft light and cleer gently joyned to the Chorion where the Placenta is from the very beginning of the Conception it contains a watry Liquor which defends the tender Limbs of the Embrion in the violent motions of the Mother and in the labour of the Mother the Membranes being broken it mollifies the passages and gives the easier extramission to the Child that this is gathered together between the Membranes Amnios and Chorios the connexion of the Tunicles and dilligent observation denies neither can there come any detriment to the Child from the sharpness of this humor seeing the Cuticula easily defends it The other Membrane they call Chorion and it compasseth the whole Child round on the outside of the Amnios and is the thicker of the two by odds it is smooth on the inside and is furnished with abundance of the Umbilicar Veins and Arteries In which place the Child encreasing the Liver or Placenta of the womb ariseth in Figure it is a soft and Spongy peice of flesh and hath many branches of the Umbilicar vessels both to cherish its heat and nourish its substance To these they add the Allantoes or Skin in which the Urine is kept although this appears in the Anatomy of Bruites rather than of Women To these Membranes Ancient Authors defend and prove mightily and as mightily disagree about certain vessels called Acetabula and Cotyledones which some say are some say are not joyned some hold them to be the mouths of the vessels swelled with Blood other pieces of flesh between the Chorion and the Womb which prop up the Umbilicar vessels and receive the Blood when it flows too fast to the Child which is conspicuous in the Wombs of Sheep and the like Creatures If we search out what answers to this in women you must look to Placenta before described which being hollow on that part next the Chorion convex on that part which is next the womb represents the same form only it is far bigger and by the softness of its substance and multitude of its vessels performs the same office These are the parts of the Child which are useless after Birth and are called the After-birth or Secundine The parts of the Body which continues still in office the Child being born are the same which are in the Ventricles the unlikeness of which the child in the womb to a mans of age is here to be spoken off the Ventricle of the Child in the womb though it be contracted yet is it never Empty but alwaies white and covered over with the Liver The Guts are seven times as long as the Body and the Gut called Caecum is filled with excrements the excrements of the small Guts are Flegmatick and yellow those in the great Guts solid and hard which the Ancients called Meconium The Liver appears great and stretched out even to the left Hypochondrium the substance of it before it grows red may be seen full of purple Veins and the Gall under it appears yellow and swelled The Sweet-bread is large and by its bright colour evidently shew the diduction of Chyle and yet it shews it more cleerly after the Child is born whilst it sucks The second Table of this Chapter presents you with its delineaments The Glandula of the Kidneyes are of a wonderful bigness and lye not in the Reins as they do in such as are grown up but lye upon them and embrace the superior part of them the reins themselves are great and have very many Glandulae the Ureters are wide and the Bladder full of Urine the bottom of the womb in young Wenches is compressed and the Tubae stretched out the Testicles great al which the Second Figure in the forementioned Table Specifies The Bowels of the Abdomen which are allotted for publique digestion do not want private digestion but manifestly operate for the common profit of the Infant for that the Stomach makes Chyle is manifest by the matter contained in it and by the various excrements in the foldings of the Guts Although the Sence of Man cannot yet perceive by what passages the substance to be converted into Chyle comes to the Stomach The fancies of the Ancients that the Child sucked in at its mouth being exploded for many difficulties yet is it agreeable to reason that as in Men the Liver and Spleen receive whatsoever is to be turned into Blood so whilst the Fruit is nourished in the womb the passage of the throat being denied the Stomach should draw that from the Liver and Spleen which it digesteth and turneth into Chyle that the Liver makes Blood in the Fruit is cleer by the separation of the Chollerick and watry excrement for although the Blood of the Mother by which the Embrion is nourished be pure yet is it unlike to the temperature of the Fruit and therefore stands in need of another separation and change About the Breast the Veins are very full of Blood but the most notable thing in the Heart is there is a large passage out of the Vena Cava into the Arteria Venosa or an anastomosis defended with a Membrane also a small channel out of the Vena Arteriosa into the great Artery so that the Blood may readily passe from the right ventricle of the heart into the left these passages as age comes Nature stops up by degrees unless some great obstructions of Flegm as somtimes happens stop up the vulgar passages the Heart it self is great and its ears and vessels large the Lungues seem Bloody neither have they as yet obtained their rariety because of their rest and yet their Birth being neer and the
