thicknesse he should comfort the digestion of other members that lye by him The second is that through him every member is made the formelier and taketh the better shape The third is that by his meanes every member of the Body drawing to him nourishing the which others with-hold to put foorth from them as it shall be more plainlyer spoken of in the Anatomy of the Wombe Next followeth Pericranium or the covering of the Bones of the Head But here it is to be noted of a Veyne and an Arteir that commeth betwéene the Flesh and this Pericraniam that nourisheth the vtter part of the head and so entreth pri●ily thorow the Commissaries of the Skull bearing to the Braine and to his Pannicles nourishing Of whose substance is made both Duramater and also Pericranium as shall be declared in the parts contayned in the Head Here it is to be noted of this Pannicle Pericranium that it bindeth or compasseth all the Bones of the Head vnto whom is adjoyned Duramater and is also a part of his substance he wheit they be separated for Duramater is néerer the Braine and is vnder the Skull This Pericranium was made principally for two causes one is that for ●is strong binding together hée should make firme and stable the féeble Commissaries or seames of the Bones of the Head The other cause is that it should be a meane betwéene the hard bone and the soft flesh Next is the Bone of the Pot of the head kéeping in the Braines of which it were too long to declaire their names after all Authors as they number them and their names for some name them after the Gréeke tongue and some after the Arabian but in conclusion all this to our purpose And they be numbred seven bones in the pan or Skull of the head The first is called the Coronall bone in which is the Orbits or holes of the Eyes and it reacheth from the browes vnto the midst of the head and there it méeteth with the second bone called Occipissiall a bone of the hinder part of the head called the Noddle of the head which two bones Coronall and Occipissiall be divided by the Commissaries in the middest of the Head The third and fourth Bones bée called Parietales and they be the Bones of the ●ideling parts of the head and they be divided by the Commissaries both from the foresaid Coronall and Occipissiall The fi●●-and Art bones be called Petrosa or Mendosa and these two bones lye over the bones called Parietales on every side of the head one like Skales in whom be the holes of the cares The seventh and last of the ●ead is called Parill●arie or Bazillarie the which Bone is as it were a wedge vnto all the other seven Bones of the head and doth fasten them together And thus be all numbred The first is the Coronall Bone the second is the Occipissiall the third and the fourth is Parietales the fifth and the sixth is Petrosa or Mendosa And the seventh is Parillarie or Bazillarie And this sufficeth for the fiue things containing CHAP. IIII. In this Chapter is declared the five things contayned within the Head NExt vnder the Bones of the Head within foorth the first thing that appeareth is Duramater then is Piamater then the substance of the Braine and then Vermy formes and Letemirabile But first wée are to speaks of Duramater whereof and ●ow it is sprung and made First it is to be noted of the V●yne and Arteire that was spoken of in the last Chapter before how privily they entered through the Commissaries or seames of the Head and there by their Vnion together they doe not onely bring and giue the spirit of Life and m●●riment but also doe weaue themselves so together that they make this Pannicle Duramater It is holden vp by certaine thréeds of himselfe comming through the said Commissaries running into Pericranium or Pannicle that covereth the Bones of the Head And with the foresaid Veine and Artier and these threeds comming from Duramater is woven and made this Pericranium And why this Pannicle Duramater is set from the Skull I note two causes The first is that if the Duramater should haue touched the Skull it should lightly haue béene hurt with the hardnesse of the Bone The second cause is that the matter that commeth of wounds made in the Head piercing the Skull should by it the better be defended and kept from Piamater and hurting of the Braine And next vnto this Pannicle there is another Pannicle called Piamater or Méek-mother because it is soft and tender vnto the Braine Of whose creation it is to be noted as of Duramater For the originall of their first creation is of one kind both from the Heart and the Liver and is Mother of the very substance of the Braine Why it is called Piamater is for because it is soft and tender to the Braine that if nourisheth the Braine and féedeth it as doth a loving Mother vnto her tender Chi●●● or Babe for it is not so tough and hard as is Duramater In this Pannicle Piamater is much to be noted of the great number of Veines and Arteirs that are planted ramefying throughout all his substance giving to the Braine both spirit and life And this Pannicle doth circumvolue or lay all the substance of the Braine and in some place of the Braine the Veynes and the Artiers goe forth of him and enter into the divisions of the Braine and there drinketh of the Braines substance into them asking of the Heart to them the spirit of life or breath and of the Liver nu●riment And the aforesaid spirit or breath taketh a further disgestion and there it is made animall by the elaboration of the spirit vitall is turned and made animall Furthermore why there be no more Pannicles over the Braine then one is this If there had beene but one Pannicle onely either it must haue béene hard or soft or meane betwéens both If it had béene hard it should haue hurt the Braine by his hardnesse If it had béene soft it should haue béene hurt of the hard Bone And if it had qéene but meanly neyther hard nor soft it should haue hurt the Braine by his roughnesse and also haue béene hurt of the hard Bone Therefore God and Nature hath ordained two Pannicles the one hard and the other soft the harder to be a meane betwéene the soft and the Bone and the softer to be a meane betwéene the harder and the Braine it selfe Also these Pannicles be cold and dry of complexion and spermaticke Next is the Braine of which it is marvellously to be considered and noted how this Piamater divideth the substance of the Braine and lappeth it into certaine selles or divisions as thus The substance of the Braine is divided into thrée parts or ventricles of which the foremost part is the most The second or middlemost is lesse the third or hindermost is the least And from each one to another be issues or passages that

are called Meaces through whom passeth the spirit of life too and fro But héere yée shall note that euery Tentricle is divided into two parts and in every part God hath ordained and set singular and severall vertues as thus First in the foremost Ventricle God hath founded and set the common wittes otherwise called the fine Wittes as Hearing Séeing Féeling Smelling and Tasting And also there is one part of this Ventricle the vertue that is called Fantasie and he taketh all the formes or ordinances that be disposed of the ●●ue Wittes after the meaning of sensible things In the other part of the same Ventricle is ordained and founded the imaginatiue vertue the which receiveth of the common Wittes the forme of shape of sensitiue things as they were received of the common Wittes without-foorth representing their owne shape and ordinances vnto the memoratiue vertue In the middle Sell or Ventricle there is founded and ordained the Cogitatiue or estimatiue vertue for hée rehearseth sheweth declareth and déemeth those things that bée offered vnto him by the other that were spoken of before In the third Ventrickle and last there is founded and ordained the vertue Memoratiue in this place is registred and kept those things that are done and spoken with the sences and kéepe them in his treasury vnto the putting foorth of the fiue or common Wittes or Organes or Instruments of animall workes out of whose extremities or lower parts springeth Mynuca or Marrow of the Spondels of whom it shall be spoken of in the Anatomy of the Necke and Backe Furthermore it is to be noted that from the foremost Ventricle of the Braine springeth seven paire of sentatiue or féeling Sinewes the which be produced to the Eyes the Eares the Nose the Tongue and to the Stomacke and to divers other parts of the Body as it shall be declared in their Anatomies Also it is to be noted that about the middle Ventrikle is the place of Vermi-formis with kurnelly flesh that filleth and Retemirabile a wonderfull Cau●e vnder the Pannicles is set or bounded with Arteirs onely which come from the Heart in the which the vitall spirit by his great labour is turned and made animall And yée shall vnderstand that these two be the best kept parts of all the Body for a man shall rather dye than any of thes● should suffer any manner of griefes from without-forth and therefore God hath set them farre from the Heart Héere I note the saying of H●ly Abba of the comming of small Artiers from the Heart of whom saith he is made a marvellous Net or Caule in the which Caule is inclosed the Braine and in that place is laid the spirit of féeling from that place hath the Spirit of Féeling his first creation and from thence passeth other members c. Furthermore yée shall vnderstand that the Braine is a member cold and moyst of complexion thinne and meanly viscous and a principall member and an officiall member and spermaticke And first why he is a principall member is because he is the governour or the treasury of the fiue Wittes And why he is an officiall member is because he hath the effect of féeling and stirring And why he is cold and moyst is that he should by his coldnesse and moystnesse abate and temper the excéeding heate and drought that commeth from the Heart And why it is moyst is that it should be the more indifferenter and abler to every thing that should be reserved or gotten into him And why it is soft is that it should giue place and favour to the vertue of stirring And why it is meanly viscous is that his sinewes should not be letted in their working through his overmuch hardnesse Héere Galen demandeth a question which is this Whether that féeling and mouing be brought to Nerues by one or by divers Or whether the aforesaid thing be brought substantially or rather judicially The matter saith hée is so hard to search and to be vnderstood that it were much better to let it alone and passe over it Aristotle intreating of the Braine saith The Braine is a member continually moouing and ruling all other members of the body giving vnto them both féeling and moouing for if the Braine be let all other members bée let and if the Braine bée well then all other members of the body be the better disposed Also the Braine hath this property that it mooveth and followeth the moouing of the Moone For in the waxing of the Moone the Braine followeth vpwards and in the wane of the Moone the Braine discendeth downewards and vanisheth in substance of vertue for then the Braine shrinketh together in it selfe and is not so fully obedient to the spirit of féeling And this is proued in men that be Lunaticke and Mad and also in men that be Epulenticke or having the Falling sicknesse that be most grieved in the beginning of the new Moone and in the latter quarter of the Moone Wherefore saith Aristotle when it happeneth that the Braine is either too dry or too moyst then can it not worke his kind for then is the Body made cold● then are the spirits of Life melted and resolved away and then followeth féeblenesse of the Wittes and of all other members of the Body and last Death CHAP. V. The Anatomy of the Face THE Front or the Forehead containeth nothing but the Skinne and Musculus flesh for the Pannicle vnderneath it is of Pericranium and the Bone is of the Coronall bone Howbeit there it is made broad as if there were a double bone which maketh the forme of the browes It is called the Forehead or Front from one eare to the other and from the rootes of the eares of the head before vnto the Browes But the cause why the browes were set and reared vp was that they should defend the eyes from uoyance without-foorth and they be ordained with haire to put by the humor or sweat that commeth from the head Also the browes doe helpe the eye-liddes and doe beautiffe and make faire the face for he that hath not his browes haired is not séemely And Aristotle sayth that ouer-measurable Browes betokeneth an enuious man Also high browes and thicke betokcneth hardinesse and browes with little haire betokeneth cowardise and meanly signifieth gentlenesse of heart Incisions about this part ought to be done according to the length of the body for there the Muscle goeth from one eare to the other And there if any incision should be made with the length of the Muscle it might happen the brow to hang ouer the eye without remedy as it is many times séene the more pitty The Browes are called Supercilium in Latine and vnder is the eye-lids which is called Cilium and is garnished with haires Two causes I find why the eye-lids were ordained The first is that they should kéepe and defend the Eye from Dust and other outward uoyances The second is when the eye is wrary or heauy then they should bée covered and

Theoricke and Practique Theoricke to know and practise to worke the ground of Theorique Theoricke is to know the Elements and humours that commeth of them which is for mans health or against it Letchcraft teaches vs causes effects and Signes Signes to know the causes and effects and therefore I treate of signes and many signes doth belong to Physicke and Chirurgery as Crisses Vrine Pounces Vomits Sege and other Chirurgery is in Woundes Impostumes and Algebro and Chirurgery holdeth foure parts viz. wounds and Impostumes Algebra and Anthonte Antidotary is the fift which is a kind of Salues against all kind of Sores that belongeth to Chyrurgery Algebra is broken bones and bones out of joynt Antidotory of Chirurgery is in Waters Powders Oyles Oyntments and Emplaisters most principall some must bée repercussiue some Mole●●catiue some Maturatiue some generatiue and some Corosiue Anatomy is to know the Body of man thorow-out and all his members within and without two members hath every manner of man viz. principall and officiall and foure principall every man hath viz. Braine and heart Liuer and stones the Brains hath the head and necke the heart hath the Lungs Breast and Midriffe the Liver hath the stomacke and other members downe to the Reynes as Guts Gauls and the Kelle Veyne and Milt ●he Milt vpon the left side and the Gaule vpon the Liver the Stones hath Raines Bladders and other Privities and these are the foure principall members Braine Heart Liver and Stones and without Braine Heart and Liver no man may liue and without Stones may no man engender thrée things in the Stones is cause of engendring He●t Wind and Humors Heat commeth from the Liuer Spirit from the Heart and Humors from the Braines that man is made of if any of these foure bée faulty that man may not as hée should kindly engender These sixe vertues are rooted in the Liver viz. Attractiue Digestiue Deminsiue Expalsiue Retentiue and a Simulatiue that is in the English drawing and breaking out putting holding and liking For first Nature draweth in that which it néedeth to liue by and then all to breake it and then departeth the good from the bad and holdeth to it the good and then dealeth the good to all the members of the Body Officiall members bée those that haue certaine Offices in mans body where ever they bée as the Eye to sée the Eare to heare the Hand to touch the Mouth to speake the Féet to goe and many such other Also such are called members as branches from the principall to the officiall as the Arme or Legge that rooteth in the principall and brancheth to the officialls and so Nerues Artiers Veynes Lygaments Cords Bones Pannicles and Gristles Flesh and Skinne to teach them their Office But Nerues Veynes and Artiers bée most needfull for they bée Welles and Roo●es of all other Nerues comming from the Braine and Artiers from the Heart and Veynes from the Liver into all the body Nerues giveth to the Body féeling and mooving and Arteirs leaving and Veynes encreasing A Veyne hath but one Tunacle and an Artier hath two in the one runneth bloud and in the other spirits and all beating Veynes bée Artiers the which I call Pulses and all other bée simple Veynes and all such members saving Flesh alone are melancholieus and their nature is Sperme but flesh is Sanguine and therefore it may bée sodered bée it never so much cut but the other said members because their matter is Sperme may never be sodered if they bée much cut And thus much at this time I say of Anatomy And now will I speake of Wounds which is the second part of Chirurgery one of these foure intentions hath every Chirurgion The first is to containe that that is evill loosed The second is to loose that that is evill contained The third is to take away that that is too much The fourth is to increase that that is too little In these foure entents standeth all Chirurgery The first is in Wounds the second is Impostumes the third and fourth Algebra holdeth Wounds be in many manners Simple and Compound Simple in the flesh alone and compound in seven manners There the vi● things that letteth a wound not lightly to heale viz. Empostumes discrased hollownesse or bitten by a venemous Beast and these letteth a Chirurgion soone to heale a wound and it a Sinew bée cut or pricked or wound to the Bone or if the wound bée hollow or else dicrased with a Fever or bruised or made by venemous Beasts then mayest thou not as thou wouldest close vp a wound and if a wound lacke all these seven things then it is simple Medicine is Letchcraft both Physicke and Chirurgery to helpe and to kéepe mans body as craft and nature may and every one of them hath first his Theoricke perfectly to know and afterwards his Practique cunningly to worke the grounds of both his Qualities Elements and Humors and signes most néedfull both of Vrine and Pulses The Nine Tastes SAlt Sharpe and Bitter Sower Savory and Eager Swéet Walloweth and Fatty Thrée of them bée of Heat thrée of Cold and the last thrée be of temperature A cut chaseth heateth and fleyeth Temperature delighteth Lycorise A●nis Ginger Worme wood and Suger these bée Ensamples a cut raweth heateth and fleyeth and Nature there against ripeth and twineth and putteth out make your Medicine such that for one putting out double twining and foure-riping Melancholy is dry and cold sower and earthly coloured his Vrine is thinne and discoloured his Pulse is straight and short in digestion and full stomacke loathsomnesse and sower belching swelling wombe and sides heauy dead and fluggy limbes and Melancholious Vrine commeth of a young wench that faileth her flowers or haue them not as shée ought to haue Fleame cold and moyst white and weake in colours his Vrine is discoloured and thicke his Pulse is short and broad raw stomacke and full loathsome and vnlusty watry mouth much

transversly linked to the stomacke and his substance is thinne And two causes I finde why he was ordained there The first is that by the Melancholius superfluities which are engendred of the Liver which hée draweth to him hée is nourished with The second cause is that the nutritiue Blood should by him be made the more purer and cleane from the Drosse and thicking of the Melancholy c. And next of the Reynes and Kidneyes It is to be vnderstood that within the Region of the Nutrites backwards are ordained the Kidneyes to clense the Blood from the watery superfluities and they haue each of them two passages or holes or Neckes By the one is drawne the water from Venakelis by two Veyns which are called Vencae Aemulgentes the length of the finger of a man and issueth from the Liver and by the other is sent the same water to the Bladder and is called Poros Urithides The substance of the Kidneyes is Lazartus Flesh having Longitudinall will and their place is behinde on each side of the Spondels and they are two in number and the right Kidney lyeth somewhat higher then the left and is bound fast to the backe with Lygaments The Philosopher saith that mans Kidneyes are like the Kidneyes of a Cow full of hard Concavities and therefore the sores of them are hard to cure Also they are more harder in substance then any other fleshly member and that for two causes One is that hée bée not much hurt of the sharpenesse of the Vrine The other is that the same Vrine that passeth from him might the better be altered and clensed through the same Also there commeth from the heart to each of the Kidneyes an Artier that bringeth with him Blood heat spirit and Life And in the same manner there commeth a Veyne from the Liver that bringeth blood to nourish the Kidneyes called Blood Nutrimentall The grease of the Kidneyes or Fatnesse is as of other inward members but it is an officiall member made of thinne Blood c●ngealed and crudded through cold and there is ordained the greater quantity in his place because it should receiue and temper the heat of the Kidneyes which they haue of the byting sharpenesse of the Water Now by the Kidneyes vpon the Spondels passeth Venakelis or Venacua which is a Veyne of great substance for he receiveth all the Nutrimentall blood from the Liver and from him passeth many small Pipes on every side and at the Spondell betwéene the shoulders he divideth himselfe whole in two great branches the one goeth into the one arme and the other into the other and there they divide themselves into many Veynes and branches as is declared in the armes CHAP. IX The Anatomie of the Haunches and their parts THE Haunches are the lower part of the Wombe joyning to the Thighs and the secret members And thrée things there are to be noted thereof The first is of the parts containing the second is of the parts contained and the third is of the parts procéeding outwards The parts containing outwardly be Myrac and Syfac the Zirbus and the bones The part contained outwardly a●e the Vez●ke or Bladder the Spermaticke vessels the Matrix in women Langaon Nerues Veynes and Artiers descending downewards the parts procéeding outwards are the Buttocks and the Muscles descending to the Thighes of which it is to bée spoken of in order And first of the parts containing as of Myrac Syfac and Zirbus there is enough spoken of in the Anatomy of the Wombe But as for the Bones of the Hanches there bée the parts of the backe thrée Spondels of Ossa sacri or of the Hanches and thrée Caitailiginis Spondels of Ossa Cande called the Taile-bone And thus it is proved that there is in every man thirty Spondels and thus they are to be numbred in the Necke seaven in the Ridge twelue in the Reynes fiue and in the Hanches sixe And it is to be noted that every Spondell is hollow in the middest through which hollownesse passeth Nuca from the Braine or the Marrow of the Backe And some Authors say that Mynuca is of the substance that the Braine is of For it is like in substance and in it selfe giveth to the Nerues both the ver●ue Mouing and Féeling And also every Spondell is holden on every side through the which holes both Arteirs and Veynes doe bring from the Heart and the Liver both Life and nourishment like as they doe to the Braine and from the Pannicle of Mynuca or the Marrow of the backe through the holes of the sides of the Spondels springeth foorth Nerues motiues and there they entermeddle themselues with the strong Lygaments that be insensible and so the Lygaments receiue that féeling of the Nerue which the Nerues taketh of Mynuca And by this reason many Authors prooue that Mynuca is of the same substance that the Braine is of and the Pannicles of the Nuca is of the same substance of the Pannicles of the Braine c. And each of these Spondels bée bound fast one with another so that one of them may not well bée named without another And so all these Spondels together contained one by another are called the Ridge-bone which is the foundation of all the shape of the Body They with the last Spondell be contained or joyned to the Bones of the Hanches and they be the vpholders of all the Spondels And these Bones bée small towards the Tale bone and abroad towards the Hanches and before they joyne and make Os Pectinis And so they bée broad in the parts of the Iles and therefore some Authors calleth it Ilea And each of these two Bones towards the Liver hath a great round hole into which is received the Bone called Vertebra or the Whorlebone Also besides that place there is a great hole or way thorow the which passeth from aboue Musculus Veynes and Artiers and goe into the Thighes And thus it is to bée noted that of this Bone Pecten and the Bone Vertebra is made the juncture of the Thigh Now to speake of the parts contained the first thing that commeth to sight is the Bladder the which is an officiall member compound of two Nervous Pannicles in complexion cold and dry whose Necke is carnous and hath Muscles to withhold and to let goe and in man it is long and is contained with the yard passing through Peritoneum but in women it is shorter and is contained with the Vulua The place of the Bladder is betwéene the bone of the Share and the Tayle-gut called Longaon and in women it is betwéene the aforesaid bone and the Matrix And in it is implanted two long vessels comming from the Kidneyes whose names be Porri Urikcides bringing with them the Vrine or water from the Kidneys to the Bladder which privily entreth into the holes of the Pannicles of the Bladder by a naturall mooving betwéene Tunicle and Tunicle and there the Vrine findeth the hole of the nether Tunicle and there it entreth privily into

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 ●●ppose to declare what t●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 plac● 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 cha●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 th●● 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

Fettus The third degrée is when the principals be shapen as the Heart Liver and Brains The fourth and last as when all the other members bée perfectly shapen then if receiveth the Soule with Life and Breath and then it beginneth to moue it selfe alone Now in these foure degrées aforesaid in the first as Milke it continueth sevendayes in the second as Fettus nine dayes in the third as a lumpe of Flesh engendring the principals the space of nine dayes and the fourth vnto the time fo full perfection of all the whole members is the space of eightéene dayes So is there sixe and forty dayes from the day of Conception vnto the day of full perfection and receiving of the Soule as God best knoweth Now to come againe to the Anatomy of the Haunches Then come wée to Longaon otherwise called the Taile-gut whose substance is Pannicular as of all the other Bowels the length of it is of a span long stretching nigh to the Reynes his nether part is called Annis that is to say the towell and about him is found two Muscles the one to open the other to shut Also there is found in him fiue Veynes or Branches of Veynes called Venae Emoraidales and they haue Colliganes with the Bladder whereof they are partners in their grieues And when this Longaon is raised vp then yée may sée the Veynes and Artiers and Sinewes how they bée branched and bound down to the nether parts the parts procéeding outwardly are Didimus Peritoneum the Yard the Testlkles and Buttocks And first it shall be spoken of the Yard or of mans generatiue members the which dureth vnto that part that is called Peritoneum the which place is from the Coddes vnto the Fundament whereupon is a se●●e Wherefore saith the Philosopher mans Yard is in the end and terme of the share The Yard is an officiall member and the Tiller of mans generation compound and made of Skin Brawnes Tendons Veynes Arteirs Sinewes and great Lygaments and it hath in it two passages or principall issue one for the Sperme and another for the Vrine And as the Philosophers say the quantity of a common yard is eight or nine Inches with measurable bignesse proportioned to the quantity of the Matrix This member hath as Avicen saith thrée holes through one passeth insensible polisions and wind that causeth the Yard to rise the other two holes is declared before Also the yard hath a Skinne and about the head thereof it is double and that men call Praeputium and this Skinne is moueable for through his consecration the Spermaticke matter is the better and sooner gathered together and sooner cast foorth from the Testikles for by him is bad the most delectation in the dooing And the foremost part of the head of the Yard before is made of a brawny flesh the which if it bée once lost it is never restored againe but it may be well skinned c. The Coddes is a compound member and an officiall and though it bée counted amongst the generatiue members yet it is called a principall member because of generation This Purse was ordained for the custody and comfort of the Testikles and other Spermaticke vessels and it is also made of two parts of the inner and of the vtter The vtter is compound and made of Skinne and Lazartus Longitudinall and Transversall in like manner as the Myrac The inner part of the Cods is of the substance of the Sifac and are in similitude as two pockets drawne together by themselues and they differ not from the Syfac and there bée two because if there fall any hurt to the one the other should serue The Testikles or stones bée two made of Glandulus flesh or Curnelly flesh And furthermore through the Didimus commeth the Testikles from the Braine Sinewes and from the Heart Artiers and from the Liver Veynes bringing vnto them both féeling and stirring Life and Spirit and Nutrimentall blood and the most purest blood of all other members of the Body whereof is made the Sperme by the labour of the Testikles the which is put forth in due time as is before rehearsed The Groynes bée knowne they bée the empty Iunctures or purging place vnto the Liver and they haue curnelly flesh in the plying or bowing of the Thighes The Hippes haue great brawny flesh on them and from thence descend downwards Brawns Cordes and Lygaments mooving and binding together the Thighes with the Haunches themselues CHAP.

man infected hath alwaies a desire to sléepe because the venome internall doth perturbate and trouble the spirits vitall so that it alwaies tendeth to rest by these si●nes and all others before related a man may alwaies perceiue himselfe to be infected If he will not giue credit vnto it let him make tryall for halfe a dayes space and presently he shall féele the Apostume vnder his Armes or about the groine or else about the Eares Therefore the chiefest remedy is if a man perceiue all these tokens in the time of Pestilence that he shake off sléepe as I haue said before for as by the reasons before also alleadged it is manifest that in sleepe the Spirits vitall doth rest but the venome is scattered through the membrands from one place vnto another as I haue often observed This being truly marked when a man findeth himselfe infected as soone as possible may be let him let blood in as ample manner that he almost faint thereon for the taking of small quantity of blood stirreth vp the venomous quality more forcibly If a man will not cut many veines at once then hée shall suffer to goe over the same veine incided as before said euen vnto the retardation and staying of the Blood Also he that is let blood whether he be infected or not hée must also shunne sléepe the whole day even till midnight And alwaies in the same part of the body that the Apostume shall appeare shall be made the incision of a veyne As for Example If the Apostume shall appeare vnder the right Arme Phlebotomie shall be made in the middle part of the same Arme from the veyne Mediana but if vnder the left arme the Apostume sheweth it selfe then must you open the Mediana as aforesaid in the same Arme or the Hepatica that is to say in the veyne about the middle finger If the Impostume be about the Groyn let a veyne be opened in the Foot about the Hée le on the same side If the Apostume be in the Neck Phlebotomize the Cophalica about the Thumbe in the hand of the same side or the Mediana of the same Arme or in the hand on the same side about the lesser finger If it shall appeare about the the Eare incide the Cophalica on the same side or the veyne which is betwéene the fore-finger and the thumbe least many venomous vapours invade the braine Or the veyne which is about the lesser finger or about the Article which of Physitians is called Basilica If the tumour shall appeare about the shoulder blades heart and Throat Vse scarifications with applicaton of Ven●osits And first let blood on the Median If the Apostume appeare on the backe open the veyne called Pedia Magna And all these may be let blood if a man haue not slept before the knowledge of the Apostumation But if he féele such Apostumations after sléeping then bléeding ought to be made on the contrary part as if the Apostume appeared in the right arme the Basilica or Liver veyne or Mediana in the left arme shall be opened And if the Apostume sheweth vnder the right arme let it be as it is spoken of the left arme and so of other places in which the Apostumation appeareth and whensoever blood-letting is to be vsed let it be alwaies done in opposite manner And if he that haue béene let blood be very weake then may he sléepe after the midst of the day and before the midst of the day hée ought to be in continuall motion either riding or moderately walking And if afterward the Botch increaseth feare not For it is a token that nature putteth out the venomous quality and restoreth a man to soundnesse then may you apply such remedies thereto as is aboue mentioned And if any there be that shall receiue benefit and recovery by these directions First let him thanke God that hath created Medicine of the Earth to heale his people and secondly pray for me a sinner the writer of this little Treatise for to that intent I tooke the paines A Medicine for the Plague or for sicknesse of the Soule TAke a quart of Repentance of Ninevie and put thereto both your handfuls of fervent Faith in

wash thy Heart and Eyes with pure Humility mixed with the Feare of God and lay the swéet Camon-ill of good Conversation hard to thy Nose least then shouldst smell more then thine own And when thou féelest thy selfe altered from all those afore-named vices take the powder of Say well and lay it vpon the top of thy Tongue to savour thy mouth withall and the Eares of the hearer but drinke thrice as much Doe well daily And then take the Oyle of Good workes mixed with the same Mercy that God hath willed vs to vse and annoynt therewith thine Eyes thine Eares and thy Lips thine heart and thy Hands throughly that they may be light nimble qui●k and ready to minister vnto the poore and dispersed members of Iesus Christ ever as you are able and sée occasion but beware thou takest not Wind in
