is the Orbyts or holes of the Eyes it reacheth frō the browes vnto the middest of the head and there it méeteth with the second bone called Occipissial a bone of the hinder part of the head called the Noddel of the head which two bones Coronal and Occipissial be deuided by the Commissaries in the middes of the head The thirde and fourth bones be called Parietales and they be the bones of the sideling partes of the head and they be deuided by the Commissories both from the foresaid Coronal and Occipissial The fifth and sixth bones be called Petrosa or Mendosa and these two bones lye ouer the bones called Parietales on euery side of the head one like skales in whome be the holes of the eares The seuenth and last of the head is called Paxillarie or Bazillarie the which bone is as it were a wedge vnto all the other seuen bones of the head and doeth fasten them togeather And thus be all numbred the first is the Coronal bone The seconde is the Occipissiall The thirde and the fourth is Parietales The fifth and the sixth is Petrosa or Mendosa and the seuenth is Parillari or Bazillari And this suffiseth for the fiue things conteyning In this Chapter is declared the fiue things contayned within the head NExt vnder the bones of the head withinfoorth the first thing that appeareth is Duramater then is Piamater then the substance of the Braine and then Uermy formes and Retemirabile But first to speake of Duramater whereof and how it is sprong made First it is to be noted of the Ueine and Arteire that was spoken of in the last Chapter before how priuily they entred through the Commissoris or seames of the head there by their vnion together they do not onely bring and giue the spirite of life and nutriment but also doe weaue themselues so togeather that they make this pannicle Duramater It is holden vp by certaine thréedes of himselfe comming through the saide commissoris running in to Pericranium or pannicle that couereth the bones of the head And with the foresaide Ueyne and Arteire these thréedes comming from Duramater is wouen and made this Pericranium And why this panicle Duramater is set from the skul I note two causes the first is that if the Duramater should haue touched the skul it should lightly haue béene hurt with the hardnesse of the bone The second cause is that the matter that commeth of woundes made in the head pearsing the skul should by it the better bée defended and kepte from Piamater and hurting of the brayne And nexte vnto this pannicle there is another pannicle called Piamater or meeke mother because it is so softe and tender vnto the brayne Of whose creation it is to bée noted as of Duramater for the originall of their first creation is of one kind both from the Hart and the Lyuer is mother of the very substance of the braine Why it is called Piamater is for because it is so soft and tender ouer the braine that it nourisheth the braine féedeth it as doth a louing mother vnto her tender childe or babe for it is not so tough and harde as is Duramater In this pannicle Pia mater is much to bee noted of the great number of Ueynes and Arteirs that are planted ramefying throughout all his substance geuing to the brayne both spirite and life And this Pa●…nicle doth 〈◊〉 or lappe all the substance of the brayne and in some places of the braine the Ueines and the Arteirs goe foorth of him and enter into the diuisions of the brayne and there drinketh of the brayne substance into them asking of the heart to them the spirite of life or breath and of the Liuer nutriment And the aforesayde spirite or breath taketh a further digestion and there it is made animal by the eleboration of the spirite vitall is turned and made animal Furthermore why there be mo pannicles ouer the braine then one is this If there had beene but one pannicle onely eyther it must haue beene harde or soft or meane betweene both If it had beene hard it should haue hurt the brayne by his hardnesse if it had beene soft it should haue béene hurt of the hard bone and if it had béene but meanely neither hard nor soft it should haue hurt the brayne by his roughnesse and also haue béene hurt of the hard bone Therefore God and nature hath ordeyned two pannicles the one harde and the other soft the harder to be a meane betwéene the soft and the bone and the softer to be a meane betwéene the harder and the braine it selfe Also these Pannicles be colde and drye of complexion and spermaticke Next is the Braine of which it is marueilous to be considered and noted how this Piamater deuideth the substance of the Brayne and lappeth it into certaine selles or diuis●…ons as thus The substance of the Brayne is deuided into thrée partes or ventrikles of which the foremost part is the most the seconde or middlemost is lesse the third or hindermost is the least And frō eche one to other be issues or passages that ar called Meates through whom passeth the spirite of life too and fro But here yee shall note that euery Uentrikle is diuided into two partes and in euery parte God hath ordained and set singular and seuerall vertues as thus First in the foremost Uentrikle God hath founded and set the common Wittes otherwise called the fiue Wittes as Hearing Séeing Féeling Smelling and Lasting And also there is in one parte of t●…is Uentrikle the vertue that is called Fantasie and he taketh all the formes or ordinances that be disposed of the fiue Wittes after the meaning of sensible thinges In the other parte of the same Uentrikle is 〈◊〉 founded the Imaginatiue vertue the which receiueth of the common Wittes the fourme or shape of sensitiue things as they were receiued of the common wittes withoutfoorth representing their owne shape and ordinances vnto the memoratiue vertue In the middest sel or ventrikle there is ●…ounded and ordeined the Cogitatiue or estimatiue vertue for hee rehearseth sheweth declareth and déemeth those thinges that bee offered vnto him by the other that were spoken of before In the thirde Uentrikle and last there is founded and ordeined the vertue Memoratiue in this place is registred and kept those things that are done and spoken with the senses and keepeth them in his treasurie vnto the putting foorth of the fiue or common wittes or orgaynes or instruments of animall woorkes out of whose extremities or lowar partes springeth My●…uca or marowe of the spondels of whome it shalbe spoken of in the Anatomie of the necke and backe Furthermore it is to bee noted that from the foremoste Uentrikle of the brayne springeth seuen payre of sensatiue or féeling senewes the which be produced to the Eyes the Eares the Nose the Tongue and to the Stomacke and to diuers other partes of the bodye as it shal be
declared in their Anatomies Also it is to bee noted that about the middest ventrikle is the place of Uermi formis with curnelly flesh that filleth and Retemirabile or wonderfull caule vnder the Pannicles is set or bounded with Arteirs only which come from the heart in the which the vital spirite by his great labour is turned and made animal And yee shall vnderstande that these two bee the best kept partes of all the body for a man shall rather dye then anye of these shoulde suffer any manner of gréefes from without foorth and therefore God hath set them farre from the heart Héere I note the saying of Haly Abbas of the comminge of small Arteirs from the heart of whome sayeth hée is made a marueylous net or caule in the which caule is inclosed the Brayne and in that place is layde the spirite of féeling from that place hath the spirite of feeling his firste creation and from thence passeth to other members c. Furthermore yee shall vnderstande that the brayne is a member colde moyst of complexion thin meanly viscous a principal mēber an official mēber spermatik And first why he is a principall member is because he is the gouernor or the treasurie of the fiue wits And why he is an officiall member is because he hath the effect of féeling and stering And why hée is colde and moyst is that hée shoulde by his coldnesse and moystnesse abate and temper the exceeding heate and drought that commeth from the heart Also why it is moyst is that it shoulde bee the more indifferenter and abler to euery thing that shoulde bee reserued or gotten into him Also why it is softe is that it shoulde giue place and fauour to the vertue of stering And why it is meanely viscous is that his senewes shoulde bée strong and meanely tough and that they shoulde not bee letted in their woorking through his ouermuch hardnesse Here Galen demaundeth a question which is this Whether that féeling and moouinge be brought to Nerues by one or by dyuers or whether the aforesayde thing bee brought substancially or radically The matter sayeth hee is so harde to searche and bee vnderstood that it were much better to let it alone and passe ouer it Aristotle intreating of the braine sayeth The Brayne is a member continually moouing and ruling all other members of the bodye giuing vnto them both feeling and moouinge for if the Brayne hée let all other members bée let and if the Brayne bée well then all other members of the bodye bee the better disposed Also the Brayne hath this propertie that it mooueth and followeth the moouing of the Moone for in the waxinge of the Moone the Brayne followeth vpwardes and in the wane of the Moone the Brayne discendeth downwardes and vanisheth in substance of vertue for then the brayne shrinketh togeather in it selfe and is not so fully obedient to the spirite of feeling And this is prooued in men that be lunatike or madde and also in men that bee epulentike or hauing the falling sicknesse that bée most gréeued in the beginning of the newe Moone and in the latter quarter of the Moone Wherefore sayeth Aristotle when it happeneth that the Brayne is eyther too drye or too moyst then can it not woorke his kinde for then is the bodye made colde then are the spirites of life melted and resolued awaye and then followeth féeblenesse of the Wittes and of all other members of the bodye and at the last death The Anatomie of the Face THE Front or the Forhead 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 broade as if there were a double bone which maketh the forme of the Browes It is called the Forhead 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 defende the Eyes from noyance withoutfoorth And they be ordained with hayre to put by the humour or sweate that commeth from the head Also the Browes doe helpe the Eyeliddes and doe beautifie and make faire the face for he that hath not his Browes heyred is not séemely And Aristotle sayeth that ouer measurable Browes betokeneth an enuious man Also high browes and thicke betokeneth hardnesse and Browes with little hayre betokeneth cowardnesse and meanly signi●…eth gentleness●… of heart Incisions about these partes ought to bee done according to the length of the bodie for there the Muscl●… goeth from one Eare to the other And there if any incis●…on shoulde bee made with the length of the Muscle it might happen the Browe to hang ouer the Eye without remedie as it is many times seene the more pitie The Browes be called Supercilium in Latine vnder is the ●…yelids which is called Cilium is garnished with hairs Two causes I find why the eyelids wer ordained the first is that they should kéepe defend the Eye frō du●…t other outward noyances the second is when the eye is weary or heauie then they should be couered take rest vnderneath thē Why the haires wer ordained in thē is that by them is addressed the 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 of vi●…ble things vnto the apple of the ey●… The eare is a member séemely and grystly able to be folden without and is the orgaine or instrument of hearing It is of complexion colde and drye But why the 〈◊〉 was set vp out of the ●…ad is this that the soundes that be very f●…itiue should lurke ●…nd abide vnder his shadowe till it were taken of the instrumentes of hearing Another cause is that it should kéepe the hole that it standeth ouer from things falling in that might hinder the hearing Th●… synewes that are the Orgaynes or Instrumentes of h●…aring spring each from the Brayne from whence the seuen payre of synewes doe spring and when they come to the h●…le of th●… Care there they writh like a wine presse and at the ends of them there be like the head of a worme or like a little ●…eate in which is receiued the sounde and so caried to the common wits The Eyes be next of nature vnto the s●…le for in the Eye is séene and knowen the disturbances and griefes gladnesse and ioyes of the Soule as loue wrath and other pa●…ions The Eyes be the instruments of fight And they be compounde and made of ten thinges that is to saye of seuen Tunicles or Cotes and of thrée humours Of the which sayth Galen the Brayne and the head were made for the Eye that they might be in the hyghe●… place as a beholder in a towre as it was rehearsed in the Anatomie of the head But diuers men holde diuers opinions of the Anatomie of the Eyes for some men account but thrée tunicles and some six●… But in conclusion they mean●… all one thing

Edward the sixt to Queene Marie and to our most gratious Soueraigne Ladie Queene Elizabeth And also chiefe Chyrurgion of S Bartholomewes Hospitall for the vse and commoditie of all vnlearned practicioners in Chirurgerie HEre I shall declare vnto you shortly and briefely the sayings and the determinations of diuers ancient Authors in three points verye expedient for all men to knowe that entend to vse or exercise the mysterie or art of Chirurgerie The first is to knowe what thing Chirurgerie is The second is how that a Chirurgion should be chosen And the third is with what properties a Surgion shoulde be indued The first is to know what thing Chirurgerie is Herein I doe note the saying of Lamfranke whereas he sayth All things that man would knowe may be knowen by one of these thrée things That is to say by his name or by his working or els by his verie being and shewing of his owne properties So then it followeth that in the same manner we may know what Chirurgerie is by thrée things First by his name as thus The Interpreters write that Surgerie is deriued out of these wordes Apo tes chiros cai tou ergou that is to bée vnderstanded a hand working and so it may be taken for all handie artes But noble Ipocras sayeth that Surgerie is hande working in mans bodie for the verie ende and profit of Chirurgerie is hande working Nowe the seconde manner of knowinge what thinge Chirurgerie is it is the saying of Auicen to bee knowen by his beeing for it is verelye a medecinall science and as Galen sayeth hée that will knowe the certaintie of a thing let him not busie him selfe to knowe onely the name of that thing but also the working and the effect of the same thing Nowe the thirde waye to knowe what thinge Chirurgerie is It is also to bee knowen by his béeinge or declaring of his owne properties the whiche teacheth vs to woorke in mans bodye with handes as thus In cuttinge or openinge those partes that be whole and in healing those partes that bee broken or cut and in taking away that that is superfluous as Warts Wennes Skurfulas and other like But further to declare what Galen sayeth Surgerie is It is the last instrument of medicine that is to saye Dyet Pocion and Chirurgerie of the which three sayeth hee Dyet is the noblest and the moste vertuous And thus hee sayeth whereas a man may bee cured with Dyet onely let therebee giuen no manner of medicine The seconde instrument is Pocion for and if a man may bee cured with Dyet and Pocion let there not bee ministred anye Chirurgerie The thirde and last instrument is Chirurgerie through whose vertue and goodnesse is remooued and put awaye many gréeuous infirmities and diseases which might not haue béene remooued nor yet put awaye neither with Dyet nor with Pocion And by these thrée meanes it is knowen what thing Chirurgerie is And this suffiseth for vs for that poynt Nowe it is knowen what thing Chirurgerie is there must also bee chosen a man apt and meete to minister Surgerie or to bee a Chirurgion And in this poynt all Authors doe agree that a Chirurgion shoulde bee chosen by his complexion and that his complexion bee veri●… temperate and all his members well proportioned̄ For Rasis sayeth Whose face is not seemely it is vnpossible for him for to haue good manners And Aristotle the great Philosopher writeth in his Epistles to the noble King Alexander as in those Epistles more playnlye doeth appeare howe hee shoulde choose all such persons as shoulde serue him by the fourme and shape of the face and all other members of the bodie And furthermore they saye hee that is of an euill complexion there must néedes followe like c●…nditions Wherefore it agréeth that a Chirurgion must be both of a good and temperate complexion as is afore rehearsed And principally that hée be a good liuer and a keeper of the holye commaundementes of God of whome commeth all cunning and grace and that his bodye bé●… not quaking and his handes ●…tedfast his fingers long and small and not tremblinge and that his
Spirit of euery kinde so that he being meane of al maner operations and workings taketh effect Two causes I finde why these Artiers haue two cotes One is that one cote is not sufficient nor●…ble to withstand the violent mouing and steering of the spirit of lyfe that is caried in them The seconde cause i●… that the thing that is caried about from p●…ace to place is of so precious a treasure that it had the more néed of good 〈◊〉 And of some Doctors this Artier is called the Pulsatiue veyne or the beating veyne for by him is perceyued the power might of the Hart. c. Wherfore God and Nature haue ordayned that the Artiers haue two cotes Also there is in the Harte thrée Pelikeles opening and closing the going in of the Harte blood and spirit in conuenient time Also the harte hath two lit●…e Eares by whom commeth inand passeth out the aire that is prepared for the Longes Also ther is found in the Harte a Cartilaginus Auditament To helpe and strength the selfe Harte Also the Harte is couered with a strong Pannicle which is called of some Capsula Cordes or Pericordium the which is a strong case vnto whome commeth Ner●…es as to other inwarde members And this Panicle Pericordiū springeth of the vpper Pannicle of y t Midriffe And of him springeth an other Pannicle called Mediastinum the which departeth the brest in the middest and kéepeth that the Lunges fall not ouer the Harte Also there is another Pannicle that couereth the ●…ibbes inwardlye that is called Plura of whome 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 an other The Anatomie of the Lungs THE Lungs is a member spcrmatike of his first creation and his naturall complexion is colde and drye and in his accidentall complexion he is colde and moyste lapped in a Neruous Pannicle because it should gather togeather 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 him selfe Nowe to proue the Lungs to be colde and drye of kind it appeareth by his swift stéering for he lyeth euer wauing ouer the heart and about the heart And that he is colde and moyst in rewarde it appeareth well that hee receiueth of the brayne many colde matters as Cataries and Rumes whose substance is thinne Also I finde in the Lungs thrée kindes of substance One is a Ueyne comming from the Liuer bringing with him the Crude or rawe parte of the Chytle to féede the Lungs Another is Arterea venealis comming from the heart bringing with him the spirite of life to nourish him with The thirde 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 deuided into fiue Lobbes or Pellikels or fiue portions that is to saye thrée in the right side and two in the l●…fte side And it was don for this cause that if there fel any hurt in the one part the others should serue and doe their office And thrée causes I find why the Lungs were principallye ordeined First that they should draw cold wind refresh the heart The second that they should change alter and purifie the aire before it come to the heart least the heart were hurt noyed with the quantitie of the aire The third cause is that they should receiue from the hart the fumous superstuities that he putteth foorth with his breathing c. Behind the Lungs toward the Spondels passeth Mire or Isofagus of whom it is spoken of in the Anatomie of the neck And also there passeth both Ueynes and Arteirs al these with Trachia arteria doe make a Stoke replete vnto the Gullet with Pannikles and strong Lygaments and glandulus flesh to fulfil the voyd places And laste of al is the Midriffe and it is an officiall member made of two Pannikles and Lazartus flesh and his place is in the middest of the body ouerthwart or in bredth vnder the region of the spirituall members departing them from the matrix And thrée causes I finde why the Midriffe was ordained First that it should diuide the spirituals from the nutrates The second that it should kéepe the vital colour or heat to dissend down to the nutrates The last is that the malicious fumes reared vp from the nutrates shoulde not noy the spirituals or vitals c. The womb is the region or the citie of all the Intrails the which reacheth from the Midriffe down vnto the share inwardly and outwardly from the Keynes or Kydnes down to the bone Pecten about the priuie partes And this womb is compound and made of two thinges that is to say of Syfac and Myrac Syfac is a Pannicle and a member spermatik official sensible senowy compound of subtil wil and in complexion cold and dry hauing his beginning at the inner Pannicle of the Midriffe And it was ordeined because it should conteine and bind togither all the Intrals and that he defende the Musculus so that hee oppresse not the natural members And that he is strong tough it is because he should not be lightly broken that those things that are conteyned go not foorth as it happeneth to them that are broken c. Myrac is compound and made of foure things that is of skin outwardly of fatnes of a carnous pannicle and of Musculus flesh And that it is to be vnderstanded that all the whole from Syfac outward is called Myrac it appeareth well by the wordes of Galen where he commaundeth that in all wounds of the wombe to sewe the Sifac with the Myrac and by that it proueth that there is nothing without the Sifac but Myrac And in this Myrac or vtter part of the womb there is noted eight Muscles two Longitudinals procéeding from the shéeld of the Stomacke vnto Os Pecten two Latitudinals comming from the backwardes to the wombe and foure transuersè of the which two of them spring from the Ribbes on the right side and go to the left side to the bones of the Hanches or of Pecten and the other two spring frō the ribbes on the left and come ouer the womb to the right partes as the other before doth Here it is to be noted that by the vertue of the subtil wil that is in the Musculus longitudinal is made perfect the vertue attractiue and by the Musculus transuerse is made the vertue retentiue and by the Musculus latitudinal is made the vertue expulsiue It is thus to be vnderstood that by the vertue attractiue is ●…rawen down into the Intrals al superstuities both wa●…r wynd dyrt By the vertue retentiue all thinges are withholden and kepte vntill nature haue wrought his kinde And by the vertue expulsiue is put foorth al things when Nature prouoketh any thing to bée done Galen sayeth
