its cavity The grosser nutricious Juice being deposited by the Umbilical Arteries in the Amnios as soon as the Mouth Gullet and Stomach and the like are formed so perfectly that the Foetus can swallow it sucks in some of the said Juice which descending into the Stomach and Intestines is received by the Lacteal Veins as in grown Persons The Infant therefore is nourished three several ways but only by one Humour First by apposition of it while it is yet an imperfect Embrio and has not the Umbilical Vessels formed But after these are perfected it then receives the same nutricious Juice by the Umbilical Vein the more Spirituous and thin part whereof it changes into Blood and sends forth the grosser part by the Umbilical Artery into the Amnios which the Infant sucks in at its Mouth and undergoing a new Concoction in its stomach is received out of the Intestines by the Lacteal Veins as is done after the birth A Child in the Womb differs from an adult Person in many parts the parts are less the colour of the whole reddish the Bones soft and many of them gristly and flexible in the Head There are several differences First the Head in respect to the proportion of the rest of the Body is bigger the Crown is not covered with Bone but only with a Membrane the Bone of the Forehead is divided as also of the under Jaw and the Os Cuneiforme is divided into four The Bone of the hinder part of the Head is distinguished into three four or five Bones The Brain is softer and more fluid and the Nerves very soft The Bones that serve the Sense of Hearing are wonderfully hard and big the Teeth lie hid in the little holes of the Jaw-bone the Dugs swell and out of them in Infants new born whether Male or Female a serous Milk issues forth sometimes of its own accord and sometimes with a gentle pressure The Vertebrae of the Back want their spinous processes and each of them made of three distinct Bones The Heart is remarkably big and its Auriculae large There are two Unions of the greater Vessels that are not conspicuous in grown Persons First the Foramen ovale by which there is a passage open out of the Cava into the Vein of the Lungs just as each of them are opening the first into the right Ventricle and the latter into the left Ventricle of the Heart and this Foramen just as it opens into the Vein of the Lungs has a Valve that hinders any thing from returning out of the said Vein into the Foramen Secondly the Arterial Channel which two fingers breadth from the Basis of the Heart joyns the Artery of the Lungs to the Aorta it has a pretty lage Cavity and ascends a little obliquely from the said Artery to the Aorta into which it conveys the Blood that was driven into the Artery of the Lungs out of the right Ventricle of the Heart so that it never comes into the left Ventricle as the Blood that is sent out of the left Venticle into the Aorta never came in the right except a little that is returned from the nutrition of the Lungs but past immediately into it out of the Vena Cava by the Foramen ovale so that the Blood passes not through both the Ventricles as it does after the Child is born You may know whether Infants killed by Whores and which they commonly affirm were still-born were really so or no by putting the Lungs of the Infant in Water for if they were still-born the Lungs will sink if alive so as to breath never so little while they will swim The Gland Thymus is very large and consists as it were of three Glands the Umbilical Vessels go out of the Abdomen the Stomach is narrower but pretty full of a whitish liquor The Caul is scarce visible the Guts are seventimes longer than the Body the Excrements in the small Guts are flegmatick and yellow but in the thick somewhat hard and blackish sometimes greenish the Caecum is larger than usual and often fill'd with Faeces the Liver is very large and extends it self into the left side and covers all the upper part of the Stomach it has a passage which is not in grown Persons called the Veiny Channel which arising out of the Sinus of the Porta carries the greatest part of what is brought by the Umbilical Vein directly and in a full stream into the Cava above the Liver But this passage presently closes as soon as the Infant is born and turns to a ligament as doth the Urachus and the two Umbilical Arteries The Spleen is small the Gall-bladder is full of yellow or green Choler the Sweet-bread is very large and white the Kidneys are bigger and unequal in their Superficies the Renes Succenturiati are exceeding large the Ureters are wide and the Bladder stretched with Urine in Females the VVomb is depressed the Tubes long and the Testes very large the little Bones of the VVrists and Instep are gristly and not firmly joyned together Its Knees are drawn up to the Belly its Legs bending backwards its Feet across and its Hands lifted up to its head one of which it holds to the Temple or Ear the other to the Cheek where there are white spots on the Skin as if it had been rubbed upon the Back-bone turns round the Head hanging down towards its Knees its Face commonly towards the Mothers Back but near the birth sometimes a VVeek or two before it alters its situation and tumbles down with its Head to the Neck of the VVomb and its Feet upwards then the VVomb also settles downwards and its Orifice relaxes and opens and the Infant moving up and down tears the Membrans wherein it is included and the waters flowing into the Sheath but sometimes the Membranes come forth whole at the same time the neighbouring parts are loosened and become fit for distension and the Bones near are so much relaxed in their Joynts that they make way for the Infant and the motion of it so much disturbs the VVomb that the Fibres of it and the Muscles of the Belly contract altogether to expel it CHAP. XIX Of the Management of a Woman with Child THE Woman ought to be kept in a good moderate and clear Air and she must Eat what she likes best and be sure not to Fast too long only she must observe not to eat too much at a time and to comfort the Stomach which is always weak in this condition she may Drink a little Wine or for want of it strong Beer at Meals As to Sleep a Woman with Child requires more sleep than she does at other times As to Exercise and Rest she must order her self according to the different times for at the beginning she ought to keep her self quiet and not to use Copulation Riding on Horse-back or in a Waggon or indeed in a Coach is not safe at any time of her being with Child especially when she
