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

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

through them to the Lunges or else a mans mouth should alwayes be open The second cause is that they helpe to the relation of the forme of the Nose for it is said a man speaketh in his Nose when any of these holes he stopped The third cause is that the concavity might be clensed by them when a man snuffeth the Nose or draweth into his mouth inwardly The Nose is a member consimple or officiall appearing without the face some what ●licable because it should the better be cleansed And it is to be perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh and of two Bones standing in manner triangle-wise whose extremities he joyned in one part of the Nose with the Coronall Bone and the nether extremities are joyned with two Gristles and another that divideth the Nosthrils within and holdeth vp the Nose Also there be two concavities or holes that if one were stopped the other should serue Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to helpe the working of his Office And Galen sayth that the Nose shapeth the Face most for where the Nose lacketh sayth he all the rest of the Face is the more vnséemely The Nose should be of a meane bignesse and not to excéed in length or bredth nor in highnesse For Aristotle saith If the Nosthrils be too thin or too wide by great drawing in of ayre it betokeneth great straitnesse of heart and indignation of thought And therefore it is to be noted that the shape of the members of the Body betokeneth and judgeth the affections and will of the soule of man as the Philosopher saith The Temples he called the members of the Head and they haue that name because of continuall mouing And as the Science of the Anatomy meaneth the spirit vitall is sent from the heart to the braine by Arteirs and by Veines and nutrimentall blood where the Vessels Pulsati●es in the Temples be lightly hurt Also the Temple haue ●ents or holes inwardly wherein hée taketh the humour that commeth from the Braine and bringeth the Eyes asléepe and if the said Holes or Dents be pressed and wrung then by trapping of the humour that continueth hée maketh the teares to fall from the Eye The Chéekes are the sideling parts of the Face and they containe in them Musculus flesh with Veynes and Arteirs and about these parts be many Muscles Guido maketh mention of seven about the Chéekes and ouer-lip And Haly Abbas saith there be twelue Muscles that mooue the nether Iaw some of them in opening and othersome in closing or shutting passing vnder the Bones of the Temples and they be called Temporales And they be the right noble and sensatiue of whose hurt is much perill Also there bée other Musculus for to grinde and to chew And to all these Muscles commeth Nerues from the Braine to giue them féeling and mouing And also there commeth to them many Arteirs and Veynes and chiefly about the Temples and the angles or corners of the Eyes and the Lips And as the Philosophers say the chiefe beauty in man is in the Chéekes and there the complexion of man is most knowne as thus If they bée full ruddy and medled with temperate whitenesse and not fat in substance but meanely fleshie it betokeneth hot and moyst of complexion that is Sanguine and temperate in colour And if they be white coloured without medling of rednesse and in substance fat and soft quavering it betokeneth excesse and superfluity of cold and moyst that is flegmaticke And if they be browne in colour or cyfren yeallow redde and thinne and leaue insubstance it betokeneth great drying and heate that is choleticke And if they be as it were blowne in colour and of little flesh in substance it Betokeneth excesse and superfluity of drynesse and cold that is Melancholy And as Avicen saith the Chéekes doe not onely shew the diversities of complexions but also the affection and will of the Heart for by the affection of the heart by suddaine joy or dread he waxeth either pale or red The bones or bony parts first of the chéekes be two of the Nose outwardly two of the vpper Mandible two within the Nose thrée as thus One deviding the Nosthrils within and in each Nosthrill one and they séeme to be rowled like a water and haue a hollownesse in them by which the ayre is respired and drawne to the Lungs and the superfluity of the Braine is purged into the mouth●wards as in before rehearsed But Guido and Galen saith that there be in the face nine bones yet I cannot find that the nether Mandible should be of the number of those nine for the nether Mandible accounted there proueth them to be ten in number Of which thing I will hold no argument but remit it to the sight of your Eyes The parts of the mouth are fiue that is to say the Lippes the Téeth the Tongue the Vuila and the Pallet of the mouth And first to speake of the Lips they are members consimile or officiall full of Musculus flesh as is aforesaid and they were ordained for two causes one is that they should be to the mouth as a doore to a house and to kéepe the mouth close till the meat were kindly chewed The other cause is that they should be helpers to the pronouncing of the spéech The Téeth are members consimily or officiall spermaticke and hardest of any other members and are fastned in the Chéeke bones and were ordained for thrée causes First that they should chew a mans meate ere it should passe downe that it might bée the sooner digested The second that they should be a helpe to the spéech for they that lacke their téeth doe not perfectly pronounce their words The third is that they should serue to beasts as weapons The number of them is vncertaine for some men haue moe and some lesse they that haue the whole number haue two and thirty that is to say sixtéene aboue and as many beneath as thus two Dwallies two Quadripulles two Canniens eight Morales and two Causales the Tongue is a carnous member compound and made of many Nerues Ligaments Veynes and Artiers ordained principally for thrée causes The first is that when a man cateth the Tongue might helpe to turne the meat till it were well chewed The second cause is that by him is received the tast of swéete and sowre and presented by him to the common Wittes The third is that by him is pronounced euery spéech The fleshie part of the Tongue is white and hath in him nine Muscles and about the roote of him is Glandulus in the which be two welles and they be ever full of spettle to temper and kéepe moyst the Tongue or else it would ware dry by reason of his labour c. The Vuila is a member made of spongeous flesh banging downe from the end of the Pallet ouer the gullet of the throat and is a member in complexion cold and dry and oftentimes when

hard and picke him then cut him in sunder and take out the yolke and take as much Roch Allome to the quantity of a Nut and put it in the Egge and two drops of Hony then take the Egge the Allome and the Hony and put it in a fine linnen cloth and hold it fast together till the Hony and the Allome be dissolued and straine it through into a vessell and so drop it into your Eyes To make a stinking Breath sweet TAke the juyce of Mints or else the water of Rew Commin Coriander Licorice Sinamon ana z. foure séethe these in Wine and giue him to drinke that hath a stinking breath and certainly it will be swéet A Medicine to make one to have a sweet breath TAke the power of Sage an ounce Rosemary blossomes thrée ounces Gilliseres fiue drams Sinamon one dram Nutmeg a dram Muske a little quantity then take so much Honey as is sufficient to make these foresaid Compositions into a corporation like to a Marmalade eate of this fasting and at night a little quantity at a time so shall your breath bée marvellous swéet and it yée goe into any suspected place of the Pestilence or any other corrupt ayre if yee eate a little of this Medicine next your heart it shall defend you from all manner of jeopardy A Medicine to destroy a stinking Breath TAke thrée handfuls of Commin beate them in a brazen morter to powder then take a pottle of Wine and put this powder into it and let it séethe till it come to a quart then drinke first and last of this Wine as hote as yée may suffer it for the space of fiftéene dayes and your breath shall be as swéet as a Nut.
