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

that stretcheth along from the stomacke to the mouth by the which he draweth to him meate and drinke as it were hands And hée hath Transverse will for to with-hold or make retention And also the vtter Pannicle hath Latitudinall will to expulse and put out and that by his heate he should kéepe the digestiue vertue of the stomacke and by other heates given by his Neighbours as thus It hath the Liver on the right side chasing and beating him with his lobes or figures and the Splene on the left side with his fatnesse and Veynes sending to him Melancholy to exercise his appetites and about him is the heart quickning him with his ●rtiers Also the Braine sending to him a Branch of Nerues to giue him féeling And he hath on the hinder part descending from the parts of the backe many Lygaments with the Artiers joyned to the Spondels of the Backe The forme or figure of this stomacke is long in likenesse of a Goorde crooked and that both holes bée in the vpper part of the body of it because there should be no going out of it vnadvisedly of those things which are received into it The quantity of the stomack commonly holdeth two Pitchers of water and it may suffer many passions and the nother mouth of the stomacke is narrower then the vpper and that for thrée causes The first cause is that the vpper receiveth meate great and boysterous in substance that there being made subtill it might passe into the nether The second is for by him passeth all the meates with their chilosity from the stomacke to the Liver The third is for that through him passeth all the drosse of the stomack to the guts And this sufficeth for the stomacke c. The Liver is a principle member and officiall and of his first creation spermaticke complete in quantity of blood of himselfs insensible but by accidence he is insensible and in him is made the second digestion and is lapped in a sinowie Pannicle And that he is a principle member it appeareth onely by the Philosophers by Avicen and Galen And it is officiall as is the stomacke and it is of spermatick matter and sinowie of the which is ingendred his Veines And because it was like in quantity Nature hath added to it crudded blood to the accomplishment of sufficient quantity and is lapped in a sinowie Pannicle And why the Liver is crudded is because the Chile which commeth from the stomacke to the Liver should be turned into the colour of blood And why the Liver was ordained was because that all the nutrimentall blood bée engendred in him The proper place of the Liver is vnder the false Ribbes in the right side The forme of the Liver is gibbous or bunchie on the backe side and it is somewhat hollow like the inside of an hand And why it is so shapen is that it should bée plyable to stomacke like as a hand doth to an Apple to comfort her digestion for his heate is to the stomacke as the heate of the fire is to the Pot or Cauldron that hangeth over it Also the Lungs is bound with his Pellikles to the Diafragma and with strong Ligaments And also hée hath Coliganes with the stomacke and the Intrailes and with the Heart and the Reynes the Testikles and other members And there are in him fiue Pellikles like fiue fingers Galen calleth the Liver Messa Sanguinaria containing in it selfe foure substances Naturall and Nutrimentall The Naturals is sent with the blood to all parts of the body to be engendred and nourished And the Nutrimentals be sequestrate and sent to places ordained for some helpings These are the places of the Humours the blood in the Liver Choller in the Chest or Gall Melancholy to the Splene Flegme to the Lungs and the Iunctures the watery superfluities to the Reynes and Vesike And they goe with the Blood and sometime they putrifie and make Fevers and some bée put out to the Skinne and bée rosolved by sweat or by Scabs by Pushes or by Impostumes And these foure naturall Humours that is to say Sanguine Choler Melancholy and Flegme be engendred and distributed in this manner First yée shall vnderstand that from the Spermaticke matter of the Liver inwardly there is engendred two great Veynes of the which the first and the greatest is called Porta and commeth from the concavity of the Liver of whom springeth all the small Veynes Miseraices and these Miseraices be to Vena Porta as the branches of a Trée bée to the stocke of a Trée For some of them bée contained with the bottome of the stomacke some with Duodenum some with Jejunium some with Yleon and some with Monoculus or Saccus And from all these Guts they bring to Vena Porta the succosity of Chiley going from the stomacke and distribute it into the substance of the Liver And these Veynes Miseraices be innumerable And in these Veynes begun the second Digestion and ended in the Liver like as it is in the stomacke the first Digestion So it proveth that Vena Porta and Vena Miseraices serue to bring all the succozity of all the meate and drink that passeth the stomacke to the Liver and they spread themselves thorough the substance of the Liver inwardly and all they stretch towards the gibous or bowing part of the Liver and there they méete and goe all into one Vnity and make the second great Veyne called Vena Ulis or Concava or Vena Ramosa all is one and he with his Rootes draweth out all the bloud engendred from the Liver and with his branches Ramefying vpwards and downewards carryeth and convayeth it to all other Members of the Body to bée nourished with where is made perfect the third digestion And also there goeth from the Liver Veynes bearing the superfluites of the third Digestion to their proper places as it shall be declared hereafter Now to speake of the Gall or of the Chest of the Gall It is an officiall member and it is supermaticke and sinowie and hath in it a subtiill Will and it is a purse or a Panniculer Vesikle in the hollownesse of the Liver about the middle Pericle or Lobe ordained to receiue the Cholericke superfluities which are engendred in the Liver The which purse or bagge hath thrée holes or Neckes By the first hée draweth to him from the Liuer the Choller that the Blood be not hurt by the Choller By the second Necke hée sendeth to the bottome of the stomacke Choler the further the Digestion of the stomacke And by the third Necke hée sendeth the Choler regularly from one Gut to another to clense them of their superfluities and Drosse and the quantity of the purse may containe in it halfe a pinte c. And next is the Splene or the milte the which is a supermaticke member as are other members and officiall and is the receptory of the Melancholious superfluities that are engendred in the Liues and his place is on the left side

marke the spreading for as it is of the one so it is of the other as thus when the branch is in the Arme-pit there hée is divided into two branches The one Branch goeth along in the inner side of the arme vntill it come to the bough of the Arme and there it is called Bazilica or Epatica and so goeth downe the Arme till it come to the wrist and there it is turned to the backe of the Hand and it is found betwéene the little finger and the next and there it is called Salvatella Now to the other Branch that is in the Arme-hole which spreadeth to the vtter side of the shoulder and there he divideth in two the one goeth spreading vp into the carnous part of the Head and after descendeth through the Bone into the Braine as it is declared in the Anatomy of the head The other branch goeth on the outward side of the Arme and there he is divided into two also the one part is ended at the hand and the other part is folded about the arme till it appeare in the bouget of the arme and there is called Sephalica from thence it goeth to the backe of the hand and appeareth betwéene the Thumbe and the foremost finger and there it is called Sephalica Ocularis The two Branches that I speake of which be divided in the hinder part of the shoulders from each of these two I say springeth one and those two méete together and make one Veyne which appeareth in the bough of the Arme and there it is called Mediana or Coadialis or Commine And thus it is to be vnderstood that of Vena Sephalica springeth Vena Ocularis and of Vena Bazilica springeth Vena Salvatella and of the two Veynes that méete springeth Vena Mediana and in ramefying from these fiue principall Veynes springeth innumerable of the which a Chirurgion hath no great charge for it sufficeth vs to know the principals To speake of Arteirs you shall vnderstand that wheresoever there is found a Veyne there is an Arteir vnder him and if there be found a great Veyne there is found a great Artier and whereas is a little Veyne there is a little Artier for wheresoeuer there goeth a Veyne to giue nutriment there goeth an Artier to bring the spirit of life Wherefore it is to bée noted that the Artiers lye more déeper in the flesh then the Veynes doe for they carry and kéepe in them more precious blood then doth the Veyne and therefore hée hath néed to bée further from dangers outwardly and therefore God and Nature haue ordained for him to be closed in two Coates where the Veyne hath but one The Breast of Thorax is the Arke or Chest of the spirituall members of man as saith the Philosopher where it is to bée noted that there be foure things containing and right contained as thus The foure containing are the Skinne Musculus flesh the Pappes and the Bones The parts contained are the Heart the Lunges Pannicles Lygaments Nerues Veynes Artiers Myre or Isofagus Now the Skinne and the flesh are knowne in their Anatomy It is to be noted that the flesh of the Pappes differeth from the other flesh of the body for it is white glandulus and spongeous and there is in them both Nerues Veines and Artiers and by them they haue Coliganes with the Heart the Liver the Braine and the Generatiue members Also there is in the Breast as old Authors make mention lxxx or xc Muscles for some of them be common to the Necke some to the Shoulders and to the Spades some to Dyafragma or the Mydriffe some to the Ribbes some to the Backe and some to the Breast it selfe But I find certaine profitablenesse in the creation of the Pappes as well in man as in woman for in man it defendeth the spirituals from annoyance outwardly and another by their thicknesse they comfort the naturall heate in defiance of the spirits And in women there is the generation of Milke for in women there commeth from the Matrix into their Breasts many Veynes which bring into them Menstruall blood the which is turned through the digestiue vertue from red colour into white like the colour of the Pappes even as Chilley comming from the stomacke to the Liver is turned into the colour of the Liver Now to speake of the Bones of the Breast they bée said to bée triple or thrée fold and they be numbred to the seven in the Breast before and their length●s according to the breadth of the Breast and there extremities or ends be gristly as the Ribbes be And in the vpper end of Thorax is an hole or a concavity in which is set the foot of the Furkle-bone or Cannel-bone and in the nether end of Thorax against the mouth of the Stomacke hangeth a a Gristle called Ensiforme and this Gristle was ordained for two causes One is that it should defend the stomacke from hurt outwardly The second is that in time of fulnesse it should giue place to the stomacke in time of néed when it desireth c. Now to speake of the parts of the Backe behind foorth There be twelue Spondels through whom passeth Mynuca of whom springeth twelue paire of Nerues bringeth bath féeling and mooving to the Muscles of the Breast aforesayd And héere it is to be noted that in every side there be twelue Ribs that is to say seven true and fiue false because these fiue bée not so long as the other seven be and therefore called false Ribs as it may be perceived by the sight of the Eye Likewise of the parts that be inwardly and first of the Heart because hée is the principall of all other members and the beginning of life hée is set in the middest of the Breast severally by himselfe as Lord and King of all members And as a Lord or a King ought to be served of his Subjects that haue their living of him so are all other members of the Body subjects to the Heart for they receiue their living of him and they doe service many wayes vnto him againe The substance of the Heart is as it were Lazartus Flesh but it is spermaticke and an officiall member and the beginning of life and hée giveth to every member of the Body both blood of life and spirit of breath and heate for if the Heart were of Lazartus flesh his mooving and stirring should be voluntary and not naturall but the contrary is true for it were impossible that the Heart should be ruled by Will onely and not by Nature The Heart hath the shape and forme of a Pine-apple and the broad end thereof is vpwards and the sharpe end is downewards depending a little towards the left side And hée it is to be noted that the Heart hath blood in his substance whereas all other members haue it but in their Veines and Arteirs Also the Heart is bound with certaine Ligaments to the backe part of the Breast but these Lygaments touch not the substance of

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.

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

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. X. The Anatomie of the Thighes Legges and Feete THE Legge reacheth from the Ioynt of the Thigh vnto the extremity of the Toes and I will divide it in parts as the Armes were divided One part is called Coxa or Thigh and that is all that is contained from the joynt of the Haunch vnto the Knée The second part is called Tibia and that reacheth from the Knée to the Ankle The third is the little foote and that is from the Ankle vnto the end of the Toes And héere it is to bée noted that the Thigh Leg and foote are compound and made as the great Arme or hand with Skin Flesh Veynes Artiers Sinewes Brawnes Tendons and Bones whereof they are to be spoken of in order Of the Skinne and Flesh there is enough spoken of before And as of Veynes and Arteirs in their descending downwards of the last Spondels they bée divided into two parts whereof the one part goeth into the right Thigh and the other into the Left And when they come to the Thigh they be divided in other two great Branches the one of them spreadeth into the inner side of the Legge and the other spreadeth into the vtter side and so branching descend downe to the Legge to the Ankles and Féete and be brought into foure Veynes which be commonly vsed in letting Blood as hereafter followeth One of them is vnder the inner Ankle toward the héele called Soffena and another vnder the vnder Ankle called Siarica and another vnder the Hamme called Poplitica the fourth betwéene the little Toe and next called Renalis And it is to be noted of these foure great Veynes in the Legges of the manifold dangers that might fall of them as oft it happeneth There bée many other branches which a Chirurgion néedeth not much to passe vpon The Sinewes spring of the last Spondell and of Os Sacrum and passeth through the hole of the bone of the Hippe and descendeth to the Brawnes and mooveth the Knée and the Hamme and these descend downe to the Ankle and mooue the Foote and the brawnes of the Féet mooue the Toes in like manner as is declared in the bones of the Hand The first is called Coxa that is the Thigh-bone and he is without a fellow and he is full of Marrow and is round at either end The roundnesse that is at the vpper end is called Vertebrum or Whyrlebone and boweth inwards and is received into the boxe or hole of the Haunch bone and at the lower end towards the Knée there it hath

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
