which according to the diverse fashioning of abounding matter are found diverse sorts of solid bodyes as haires and such other like Of partes of the body which appertaine to the Of the parts of the body making up of the whole body some are containing and some contained The contained for their fluent nature are sustained by helpe of others Such are humours and spirits Humors are moyst partes begot of the first mixture of nourishment in the liver These are in the seede of creatures and are called the beginning of things endued with bloud Any of these if they fayle of their proper nature are not fit to be in the bodie but are become unnaturall Humours are of the first the second sort The first Humors are hot or colde and moyst and dry Bloud is hot and Blood moyst and it is a thin red humour and sweete With this the other partes be chiefly nourished amongst whom this is the chiefe The faults of this is in substance as putrifaction or mixture of vicious humors or in qualitie as too thicke or too thin or is affected with some other badnesse The humour that is hot and dry is choller this is a thinne yellow pale and bitter humour His use is to helpe the expelling facultie and chiefly in the Guts Gall besides nature through adustion is yellow like an egges yolke in the stomacke it is like rustic brasse The colde and moyst is phlegme which is a tough Phlegme slimie and whitish humour and tastlesse If this have a fuller concoction it is turned into bloud His use is to moysten the joynts When it declineth from his proper nature it is salt or tart according to his mixture The colde and dry humour is blacke choller This is a thicke blackish tart bitter humour It serveth to strengthen the stomacke that it may more easily retaine and receive meate When it declineth from his proper nature by immoderate burning it hath divers kindes Humors of the second sort are begotten of the first being wrought with concoction they are like dew or glew Dew is a humor contained in the hollownesse of the members and joyned to their substance like dew with which they are nourished Glew is a humour immoderately congealed and being Glew firmely fastned to the members beginneth to bee changed unto their substance of which change it is called Cambium and carniformis like the flesh Now follow the spirits which are a fluent part of Spirits the body most thin and begotten of the bloud of the heart The spirits are the chiefe instrument and as it were the Chariot of the soules faculties for with most speedie and swift motion it carrieth them over all the body Spirits having roote in the heart be either absolute Vitall What they are or rude and to be finished in other parts Vitall spirits be absolute in the heart and are of a firie nature and from the heart by arteries are spred in the bodie by whose communication all parts doe live Spirits to be perfected in other parts bee Animall Animall which from the heart be carried into the braine and What they are there made subtile by nerves flowing unto all the other parts and this is the Chariot of functions or faculties of all living Creatures Parts containing are more solid which are sustained by themselves all these either are as a stay or covering The stay to other parts is either bone or gristle Bone is the hardest and dryest part and stay to all the bodie Bones are knit together by ligaments which are like hard and thicke threeds being as bandes to the bones of the bodie Gristles are somewhat softer than the bones and Gristles sustaine all other partes The covering of the other What they are parts is the skin which is tender without bloud and covereth the whole body The membrane is a tender skin covering some parts There is yet in these parts a common excrement of Sweat concoction which is sweat and is a moystnesse of the What it is veynes expelled by secret pores of this is to be seene a diverse colour according to the die of the moystnesse or matter thereof the usuall is watrish through the white substance of the channels through which it runneth But if the pores be large and open that without delay and long change it may slide through them especially if for some affection of minde or disease it become thinner then is it speedily expelled and tainted with some other colour c. Therefore from the colour of sweate the bodyes constitution may be knowne Colde sweate is worse to bee liked than hot but either is bad if they be unequall Also the containing parts afore-named are animall or vitall and each of these are more or lesse principall Animall parts are in which the animall parts are most exercised as sence and motion together or alone The chiefe member of motion and sence is the braine contained in the head whose substance being hurt it is in danger to lose both sence and motion The Braine is softer than the other parts white Braine what it is and covered with a double skinne closely The skinne of the brayne is either called Pia or Dura mater The scalpe is a thicke bone covering the whole head and hath up on it a skin with hayres The scalpe is distinguished with certaine seames in certaine parts which are true or fayned c. The excrements of the braine are either thicke or Excrements of the braine thin The thin are teares bursting from the braine by the angles of the eyes The greater the flesh of those angles be so much more plentifull be teares chiefly if the complexion bee colde and moyst as of women Teares be caused by heate which openeth or colde which presseth the flesh and causeth teares The thicker excrements which are expelled from the brayne eyther are by the eares or nose In the eares is a moyst excrement of the brayne gathering Of the eares and rotting in their hollownesse That of the nose is a thicker excrement than that of Of the nose the braine which although it be like flegme yet it is altogether of another nature The pithe of the backe bone is neare to the nature of the braines excrement save that it is harder and something hotter The backe is bonie round and in his length hath twentie foure joynts The Nerves are lesse principall parts of sence and motion which if they be out of order the parts in which these be become unfit to move Nerves or sinewes are thin parts round c. white much like to thicke threeds Some are softer some harder The softer are of more use of which are six paire by two and two from the braine arriving to other parts First to the eyes Secondly To moove the eyes Thirdly to the tongue and taste Fourthly to the pallet and skin of the mouth Fiftly to the hearing The sixt to the mouth of the stomacke

nerve stretched like a Net upon the flesh of the tong which is full of little pores His meanes is a temperate salt humour which if it doe exceed the just quantitie it doth not exactly perceive tastes but if it be altogether consumed no tastes are perceived Smelling judgeth qualities fit for smell his instrument Smelling is the entrance into the first ventricle covered with a small skin the dryer it is the quicker of smell as in Dogs and Vultures but man for the moystnosse of his braine hath but a dull smell Now follow the inward sences which beside things Sences inward presently offered doe know formes of many absent things By these the creature doth not onely perceive but also understandeth that which hee doth perceive These have their seate in the braine They are either conceiving or preserving Conceiving exerciseth his Conceiving facultie by discerning or more fully judging it is called Common sence and the other is Phantasie Common sence more fully distinguisheth sensible things his instrument is the former ventricle of the braine made by drynesse sit to receive Phantasie is an inward sence more diligently examining the forms of things This is the thought and judgement of creatures his place is the middle part of the braine being through drynesse apt to retaine The preserving sence is Memory which according Preserving to the constitution of the braine is better or worse It is weaker in a moyst braine than in the dry braine His instrument is the hinder part of the braine Memorie calling backe images preserved in former time is called Remembrance but this is not without the use of reason and therefore is onely attributed to man The wittie excell in remembrance the dull in memorie Sleepe is the resting of the feeling facultie his cause Sleepe how caused is a cooling of the brayne by a pleasant abounding vapour breathing forth of the stomacke and ascending to the braine When that vapour is concoct and turned Waking how caused into spirits the heate returneth and the sences recovering their former function cause waking There be certaine appointed courses for watch and sleepe lost creatures languish with overmuch motion Affections of sleepe are Dreames Night-mare and Dreames Extasie c. A dreame is an inward act of the minde the bodie What they be sleeping and the quieter that sleepe is the easier bee dreames but if sleepe bee unquiet then the minde is troubled Varietie of dreames is according to the divers constitution Their variety of the body The cleare and pleasant dreames are when the spirits of the braine which the soule useth to imagine with are most pure and thin as towardes morning when concoction is perfected But troublesome dreames are when the spirits bee thicke and unpure All naturall dreames are by images either before proffered to memorie or conceived by temperature alone or by some influence from the starres as some thinke From dreames many things may be collected touching the constitution of the body The Night-mare is a seeming of being choked or The night-mare strangled by one leaping upon him feare following this compression the voyce is taken away This affection How occasioned commeth when the vitall spirits in the braine are darkened by vapours ascending from melancholy and phlegme insomuch that that facultie being oppressed some heavie thing seemeth to bee layd upon us Therefore this disease is familiar to those who through age or sexe are much inclined unto these humours An Extasie or traunce is a vehement imagination A trance of the departure for a time of the soule from the bodie A deepe sleepe lasting some dayes enseweth for What it is the foule giving over it selfe to cogitation ceaseth to serve the body Wherefore men wanting motion and sence seeme to be dead And with what humours the braine shall be compassed such phansies doth it conceive although sometime spirits working on such phatasies imprint other things Now followeth Motion which accompanieth sence and is caused either by appetite or change of place for we desiring things perceived in sence cannot attaine unto them withour moving our body to that thing Appetite What it is Appetite is a facultie desiring such things as are objects to our sense It chiefly followeth touching or thinking Delight followeth touching Delight is a desire of an agreeing Object Griefe is his contrary which is a turning from the hurtfull object or from that we count unpleasant Appetites following cogitation are all the motions of the heart which be called affections and are either good or bad The good cherish and preserve the nature of our sensitive facultie as mirth love hope which come of heate when the heart dilating it selfe desireth to enjoy the thing with which it is delighted Motion is a facultie of living creatures stirring a bodie Motion what it is entised by appetite from one place to another It is either of the whole body or of partes Of the whole body as by going c. Of partes as breathing which is made either by enlarging of the parts which serve for the taking in of the ayre or by the closing of them for the expelling of corrupt ayre Now followeth to intreat Of the bodies of living Of the bodies of living creatures What the matter of the body is creatures The matter of the body in which the foresaid faculties be is the seede of both sexes Seede is most pure bloud perfectly concocted in the testicles and it is gathered from the whole bodie For the testicles lacking nourishment draw bloud from the hollow veyne and change it Conception is the action of the wombe by which Conception what it is the power is stirred up to execute his inbred gift Then that power being stirred up doth diversly distract the matter separating his divers partes and thus all parts alike get together their shape Likewise all of them together are adorned with the faculties of the vegetative or sensitive soule Amongst the naturall faculties of the partes of the body if there be putrifaction a fault of the concocting facultie there is made a certaine generation of matter This is naturall or extraordinary Naturall is by an inbred heate not altogether subdued Naturall but slackly exercising force through disposition of the mattter Such is to be seene in inflamations botches and impostumes For in these nature so farre as it can laboureth to bring this his subject matter to the best forme Therefore such suppuration is wont to argue a certaine strength of nature wherefore often with convenient helpes it is carefully encreased In this kinde especially is praysed white thicke smooth equall and least smelling matter Extraordinary mattering is when nature altogether Extraordinary subdued the humors or parts themselves are made full of corrupt matter through store of rottennesse But nature or the concocting facultie is overcome either through proper weaknesse or by corrupt matter this is observed in all rotten malignant and stinking botches in
