from this great veine Aorta are derived all the pulsive moving and beating-veines on every side dispersing pouring forth vital spirit thorowout the whole body The heart the fountaine of lively heat For the heart is the source and fountaine of vitall and lively heat without which no living creature no member can be cherrished Vnder the great veine Aorta even now spoken of The Veyned Arterie in the left cavity and vault of the heart another veine as yet springeth forth called in Latine Arteria venosa the veined Artery Although that truely be a pulsive and moving veine and convey vitall spirit yet it hath only one coat as those veines have which convey blood and that is framed and ordained that it may drive and transport cold aire from the Lungs to the Heart to refrigerate coole and refresh it and to temper and allay the immoderate heat But because veines doe breake forth from both the concavities and hollow cells of the Heart The generation of the lungs and are implanted and inserted to the Lungs the Lungs also formed and framed by them For a veine proceeding from the right cavity and hollow of the heart proceedeth and bringeth forth most subtile and pure blood which the Fibraes threds or haires being from thence afterward dispersed is altered changed and transmuted into the flesh of the Lungs And from the great veines of the Heart and Liver that is to say Vena cava and Aorta The brest legs and armes ingendred the whole brest is ingendred and also the legges with the armes successively and in their due order And the braine is so formed that it may be able to conceive retaine and alter the natures and qualities of all the vitall and lively spirits From the braine also the beginnings both of Reason The Originall of Reason and the Senses and all the senses doe proceed and have their originall For as the veines derive their progeny from the Liver and the Arteries from the Heart The Originall of the Nerves and Sinewes So also the Nerves and Sinewes being of a softer and milder nature doe spring and grow from the braine not being hollow after the manner of veines but solid and massie For indeede they are the first and principall instruments of all the senses by which all the motions of the senses are duely caused and procured through vitall and lively spirit After the Nerves and Sinewes the Marrow of the backe-bone The Marrow of the backe-bone in Latine Spina dorsi is ingendred from the braine not unlike to the nature of the braine so that it may scant be called and termed Marrow Not unlike to the nature of the braine both because it hath no similitude nor likenesse unto Marrow and also because it doth not resemble the same in substance What Marrow is For Marrow is a certaine superfluity of the nutriment of the members proceeding from blood ordained and destinated to moisten and cherrish the bones of the body but the braine and Marrow of the backe-bone or Spina dorsi The Marrow of the backe-bone derived from the seed doe draw and derive their originall and primacie from the seede not deputed or allotted to nourish other members and to make them prosper in good plight but that they should by themselves ordaine and constitute private and particular parts of the body for the motion emolument and use of the senses that from thence all other nerves and sinewes may take their roots and beginnings Many nerves do spring from the Marrow of the back bone For many nerves doe spring from the Marrow of the back-bone or Spina dorsi from which the bodie may have sense and motion as it is evident by the Vital and Animal faculty and vertue by good defence as hath beene declared in the former Chapters Further wee must here note and consider that of the seede are ingendred Cartilages or gristles Of the seede a e Cartilages or gristles bones c ingendred bones the coats of the veines of the Liver and of the Arteries of the heart the braine with the nerves and sinewes againe the coats and also both the other pannicles or caules and wrappers and coverings of the Feature But of the proper and convenient blood of the Feature Of the blood of the Feature the flesh is ingendred also the Heart Liver and lungs the flesh is ingendred and those things which are fleshie as the Heart Liver and Lungs And afterwards all these things doe flourish prosper and are nourished with menstruall blood a tracted and drawne by the little veines of the Navell which veines are observed to attaine to the Matrix from the orifices or mouths of the veines All which things are distinctly and orderly caused and brought to passe from the conception even unto the eighteenth day of the first Moneth at which time it is called seed but afterward it beginneth both to be called and to be a Feature Feature which thing also some ancient Writers have comprehended in these Latine verses Sex in lacte dies ter sunt in sang vine trini Bis seni carnem ter seni membra figurant Et aliter Injectum semen sex primis certe diebus Est quasi lac reliquisque no vem fit sanguis at inde Consolidat duodena dies bis nona deinceps Effigiat tempusque sequens producit ad ortum Talis enim praedicto tempore figura confit Which verses for the benefit of the unskilfull in the Latine tongue may thus be Englished Sixe daies to milke by proofe thrice three to blood convert the seed Twice sixe soft flesh doe forme thrice sixe doe massive members breed Or otherwise The first sixe daies like milke the fruitfull seed Injected in the wombe remaineth still Then other nine of milke red blood do breed Twelve daies turne blood to flesh by Natures skill Twice nine firme parts the rest ripe birth doe make And so foregoing time doth forme such shape CHAP. VI. Of the food of the Feature in the wombe with what nourishments it is nourished and when it groweth to be an Infant SO long as the Feature remaineth in the wombe it is nourished and cherrished with blood attracted and drawne to it by the Navell The Feature in the wombe nourished 〈◊〉 with blood attracted to it by the Navell whereby it commeth to passe that the Termes of women are stayed and cease to issue forth after the conception For then the Feature beginneth to covet and to attract unto it much blood Three differences of menstruous blood after conception But the blood is discerned to have a three-fold difference after the time of conception The first and most pure part of it the Feature attracteth for his nourishment The second and not so pure and thin the Matrix forceth and driveth upward to the brests by certaine veines The breeding of milke where it is converted and changed into milke and for that cause it is that certaine

panting of the heart shortnesse of breath distemperature of reason because of vapours mixed with the spirits a debility and weakenesse of all the members cold sweates continuall paine in the wombe And indeed evill humours retained and increased in the wombe doe cause and breed all these things partly neere unto it partly removed farther from it which distemper and molest the braine and other members of the body by stopping and intercepting naturall heat proceeding from the heart untill they suffocate and destroy all the senses at once and also the strength and forces of the body But in the cure of the present fit of this sicknesse first you shall mingle Salt with Vinegar The cure of the present fit in the suffocation of the Matrix and shall rub the uttermost parts of the members of the body I meane the soles of the feete and palmes of the hands and pulses of the armes afterward binders being tied neere unto the secrets the hips and hammes you shall apply cupping-glasses neere unto the place without Scarification Afterward you shall apply to her nostrills all things which being burnt have a strong and stinking savor as Castoreum Assa Foetida Feathers Haire Leather Horne Hooses of Horses or Kine or such like things For these things stirre up and move the Animal spirit being as it were asleepe which by and by inforced with such a stinking favour making haste to come to the braine by the nerves and instruments for the purpose doth stirre up the motive facultie in the same Moreover this motion by the great force of this strong savour commeth to the heart with the Animal Spirit where both of them together doe repaire vitall spirit in the same being oppressed and as it were laid asleepe At last all of them joyned together doe oppose themselves against the Matrix rising up towards the Midriffe and stir up the expulsive force of it so that the corrupt humours being expelled which are in it the Matrix may fall downe and give more roome and space unto the superiour vitall Organs or Instruments In this case the dung of a Horse fed with Oates boiled in the best Wine drunke very hot is very much approved Also halfe a dram of the confection Diacastoreum taken in broth made of a Hen. An Vnguent Likewise such an Vnguent may be prepared wherewith her secrets may be annoynted inwardly which suffereth this swooning Take Muske one scruple Gallia Muscata one dram Oile of Lillies two ounces Temper them and make an Vnguent Suffumigations also being thus prepared Suffumigations from which a fume may ascend up to the nostrills will profit in this case Take Castoreum Galbanum dissolved in Vinegar of each halfe an ounce Brimstone one ounce Assa Foetida one dram If you prepare these Fumes or Trochiskes you shall confect them with Oile of Castoreum But if you would use them with Vinegar you shall put pure and cleane wooll into her nostrills dipped in Vinegar in which these powders are dissolved or you shall apply it outwardly to them But if this deadly malady shall proceed from the Termes being retained in the Matrix or from corrupt seede it may be cured in the same manner as wee will declare in the Chapters following But if the cause of this disease shall come from cold it will be the wisest course to use hot bathes when due purgation hath beene performed such as are the bathes in that part of Germany which is named Helvetia A certaine diet and order of bathing being prescribed and set downe of a skilfull Physician because that water doth consist of much Brimstone and some Allome it sooner resolveth dispelleth and driveth away cold heateth the Matrix and comforteth all other Members and parts of the body of a woman CHAP. IX Of the Precipitation or falling downe of the Matrix of the causes and cure of the same THe Precipitation of the Matrix is the departure and digression of the Matrix from her naturall place into some other place or the comming forth and outward appearing of it through the privities This hapneth either by a fall blow or some other vehement hurt or through wind inclosed in the Matrix or corrupt humours or by the intemperate moistnesse putrefying the ligaments and binders of the same or else through difficulty and painfulnesse of Aborcement or the birth and negligence of Midwives or by violent extraction and pulling forth of the Secundine whereby it falleth out that the ligaments and stay-bands of it are broken and the Matrix is throwne downe suddenly to issue forth This removing of the Matrix is caused in a diverse manner that is to say toward the right or left side or lower and into the fore-part and hinder part of the body But although the causes of these diseases may easily be judged and discerned by these things going before yet they may as yet be divided into outward and inward Outward causes are Outward Causes falling blowes or strokes some hurt lifting of some thing which is of great waight swift running leaping dauncing unseasonable riding all immoderate exercise and such things as are like unto them Also long sitting upon the cold earth or cold pavement long-tarrying in cold water over-much and often drinking of cold water Also the violent breaking forth of the child the hard and painfull birth the rashnesse of the Midwives the violent extraction of the Secundine often coughing great crying out vehement sneesing The disease Tenasmus binding the body and all these things do minister occasions to the Matrix to fall downe Inward Causes The inward causes are long stopping of the Flowers with whose weight the Matrix being pressed downward doth suddenly descend and fall downe the ligaments and binders thereof being oftentimes broken in sunder Also humours inclosed in the same wind enforcing it and removing it from her place Likewise over-much humidity and moisture putrefying and corrupting the ligaments or tying-bands and by that infection enforcing it to issue forth The signes of this disease are not unlike to the causes Signes The party will easily rehearse the signes of the outward causes Whosoever is grieved with this disease But the inward signes are to be considered according unto the removing of the Matrix For if it bend toward Diaphragma or the Midriffe without any strangling or choking wee may perceive that the woman doth feele paines and heaving above the Navell to feele a round lumpe like a Globe in her belly to fetch her breath and wind very short and quicke as though her bowells were swiftly crushed together with the hand a dimnesse of the eyes paine of the head loathing of meat and often belchings going before and accompanying it sometimes also a sound of the belly being heard especially when as the removing from her place shall arise from wind inclosed in the same But if it shall fall downe to the lower parts then many paines shall be about the kidnies loynes and secret members and a round
