be_v make_v not_o of_o one_o bone_n but_o of_o several_a bone_n the_o better_a thereby_o to_o bend_v himself_o some_o of_o which_o bone_n be_v great_a some_o less_o of_o all_o which_o every_o one_o

these_o bone_n especial_o the_o great_a of_o they_o do_v further_o serve_v in_o man_n body_n to_o support_v the_o same_o with_o the_o like_a use_n as_o the_o great_a column_n and_o beam_n do_v

man_n body_n to_o wit_n the_o hart_n the_o liver_n and_o the_o brain_n it_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o anatomy_n that_o all_o vein_n proceed_v from_o the_o liver_n and_o give_v nourishment_n all_o artery_n from_o the_o hart_n and_o give_v life_n all_o sinew_n from_o the_o brain_n and_o give_v motion_n and_o sense_n the_o meaning_n hereof_o be_v that_o the_o gross_a blood_n in_o the_o vein_n do_v give_v nourishment_n the_o spiritual_a blood_n in_o the_o artery_n life_n and_o the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o nerve_n or_o sinew_n do_v give_v sense_n and_o motion_n now_o the_o artery_n vein_n and_o sinew_n be_v of_o a_o reasonable_a greatness_n as_o their_o first_o proceed_n from_o their_o source_n or_o head_n but_o then_o they_o divide_v themselves_o almost_o into_o infinite_a branch_n and_o in_o the_o end_n they_o become_v so_o small_a as_o that_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v capillares_fw-la with_o reference_n to_o the_o smallness_n of_o the_o hair_n of_o a_o man_n head_n they_o be_v so_o general_o disperse_v throughout_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n as_o that_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o that_o it_o have_v

dilatation_n of_o itself_o the_o hart_n draw_v in_o new_a air_n to_o temper_v the_o heat_n &_o refresh_v the_o spirit_n by_o systole_n or_o compression_n of_o itself_o it_o expel_v all_o fuliginous_a vapour_n and_o thus_o be_v the_o artery_n throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n ever_o move_v with_o a_o incessant_a and_o continual_a vicissitude_n in_o dilate_v and_o contract_v themselves_o even_o for_o the_o say_v end_n and_o this_o systole_n and_o diastole_n of_o the_o artery_n through_o the_o body_n be_v that_o which_o vulgar_o be_v call_v the_o beat_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o pulse_n animadversion_n clxxxxvi_n in_o this_o next_o animadversion_n i_o will_v descend_v more_o particular_o to_o the_o structure_n of_o two_o principal_a organ_n or_o member_n of_o man_n body_n to_o wit_n the_o eye_n and_o the_o hand_n in_o the_o frame_n of_o either_o of_o which_o there_o appear_v a_o undoubted_a certainty_n of_o a_o divine_a providence_n or_o deity_n by_o who_o they_o be_v so_o miraculous_o make_v and_o compact_v i_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o eye_n the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o instrument_n be_v of_o such_o worth_n as_o that_o it_o have_v purchase_v a_o peculiar_a name_n or_o appellation_n to_o itself_o it_o be_v call_v ar●_n optics_n the_o art_n concern_v the_o eye_n &_o sight_n now_o touch_v the_o eye_n first_o we_o may_v observe_v the_o bear_n out_o of_o the_o forehead_n &_o the_o nose_n serve_v to_o beat_v back_o all_o sudden_a entrance_n of_o thing_n hurtful_a to_o the_o eye_n next_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o eyelid_n place_v in_o precise_a manner_n serve_v to_o the_o foresay_a end_n then_o the_o eye-lidd_n themselves_o which_o do_v shut_v and_o open_a either_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o the_o entrance_n of_o thing_n domageable_a or_o for_o the_o receive_n in_o of_o please_a object_n next_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o many_o tunicae_fw-la or_o skin_n which_o do_v encompass_v and_o fortify_v the_o eye_n the_o tunicae_fw-la be_v these_o first_n and_o the_o outward_a most_o adnata_fw-la otherwise_o call_v alba._n next_o jnnonimata_fw-la then_o cornea_n next_o vuea_n by_o which_o the_o eye_n of_o several_a man_n appear_v to_o be_v of_o several_a colour_n then_o retina_fw-la and_o last_o aranea_fw-la it_o be_v a_o most_o thin_a skin_n and_o near_o to_o the_o eye_n in_o this_o next_o place_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o thr●e_a

be_v almost_o the_o chief_a instrument_n of_o see_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v simulacrum_fw-la visionis_fw-la the_o three_o humour_n be_v vitreus_fw-la which_o be_v place_v in_o the_o

as_o also_o by_o they_o it_o purge_v away_o all_o hurtful_a ordure_n &_o filth_n next_o be_v present_v to_o our_o consideration_n the_o two_o optic_a synew_n which_o serve_v to_o convey_v the_o species_n of_o object_n from_o the_o eye_n to_o the_o common_a sense_n they_o be_v call_v nerui_fw-la visibiles_fw-la now_o touch_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o eye_n it_o be_v partly_o round_o that_o so_o the_o eye_n may_v see_v not_o only_o stra●ght_v forward_o but_o also_o somewhat_o on_o both_o side_n as_o we_o observe_v it_o do_v last_o concern_v the_o manner_n how_o we_o see_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a be_v two_o to_o wit_n either_o extramittendo_fw-la as_o they_o speak_v that_o be_v the_o eye_n send_v forth_o certain_a visibiles_fw-la spiritus_fw-la to_o the_o object_n which_o it_o see_v and_o then_o they_o return_v back_o again_o to_o the_o eye_n with_o the_o true_a form_n of_o the_o say_a object_n or_o else_o it_o see_v intromittendo_fw-la which_o be_v the_o more_o common_a opinion_n that_o be_v the_o species_n or_o form_n of_o the_o object_n be_v spherical_o multiply_v in_o the_o air_n or_o water_n and_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o eye_n per_fw-la modum_fw-la conoidis_fw-la uz._n in_o a_o pyramidal_a manner_n thus_o much_o touch_v the_o eye_n to_o come_v to_o discourse_v of_o the_o hand_n and_o of_o the_o admirable_a artifice_n discover_v therein_o three_o thing_n be_v chief_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o the_o hand_n to_o wit_v the_o number_n of_o the_o finger_n the_o number_n of_o the_o joint_n of_o every_o finger_fw-la and_o the_o different_a length_n of_o each_o finger_fw-la touch_v the_o number_n of_o the_o finger_n they_o be_v fyve_o with_o the_o thumb_n here_o than_o we_o may_v observe_v the_o fit_a number_n of_o they_o for_o if_o there_o be_v more_o finger_n than_o five_o then_o what_o be_v more_o than_o fyve_o will_v be_v superfluous_a for_o we_o can_v conceive_v to_o what_o use_n that_o finger_fw-la exceed_v the_o number_n of_o fyve_o can_v be_v put_v unto_o if_o few_o than_o fyve_o than_o the_o number_n will_v be_v defective_a and_o so_o the_o hand_n can_v not_o perfect_o perform_v i●s_a operation_n as_o we_o see_v it_o fall_v out_o in_o such_o man_n who_o by_o misfortune_n have_v lose_v one_o or_o more_o of_o their_o finger_n to_o proceed_v to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o joint_n of_o each_o finger_fw-la all_o the_o four_o finger_n have_v three_o joint_n whereby_o they_o exercise_v so_o many_o inflexion_n the_o thumb_n have_v only_o two_o if_o any_o finger_fw-la have_v less_o than_o three_o joint_n than_o can_v not_o the_o hand_n so_o apt_o perform_v its_o faculty_n as_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o those_o person_n who_o have_v any_o of_o their_o finger_n grow_v stiff_o through_o any_o disease_n if_o the_o thumb_n ha●_n three_o joint_n that_o three_o joint_n will_v be_v mere_o superfluous_a and_o of_o no_o use_n to_o descend_v to_o the_o different_a length_n of_o the_o finger_n &_o the_o thumb_n we_o be_v here_o to_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o the_o whole_a hand_n perform_v its_o faculty_n by_o draw_v and_o close_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o circular_a form_n either_o all_o or_o some_o of_o the_o fyve_o finger_n together_o for_o by_o that_o manner_n it_o best_o grasp_v or_o hould_v any_o thing_n within_o it_o now_o here_o i_o say_v that_o if_o either_o the_o long_a finger_fw-la be_v short_a than_o it_o be_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o other_o finger_n or_o the_o little_a finger_fw-la and_o the_o thumb_n long_o than_o they_o be_v than_o this_o suppose_a shortness_n
