of Eggs which the Antients esteemed to be produced by an intense heat but is more truly atributed to the mixture of some acid humour as can be perceived when a little spirit of Vitriol is powred into some Gall it often degenerates in Poraceous rus●y and glasteous according to its degrees of acidity The Melancholy humour or thickest Blood is by some thought to turn by adustion into black choler but according to Regnerus de Graaf this last proceeds from the mixture of Choler with a too acid pancreatical juice whereby it is turned into a greenish black colour as the Antients describe the atrabiliary humour The Excrementitious humours are also 1. Phlegm 2. Choler 3. Melancholly 4. And Serum They are called excrementitious because they can yield no nourishment to the Body and therefore are expelled 1. Phlegm not to the Brains as the Antients conceived but to the Maxillar Glandules and thence through the Mouth and Nostrils out of the Body 2. Choler by the Cystick arteries to the Gall whence the superfluous part is expelled to the Duodenum and thence evacuated at the Seat 3. Melancholly which is not attracted by the Spleen as the Antients supposed but is an Excrement of the grossest Blood which is often evacuated by the Haemorrhoides and is also sent to the Atrabiliary Capsuls to be perhaps voided with the Urine which therefore appears sometimes of a black colour 4. Serum which is either evacuated First In the form of Vapours by transpiration whereby according to Sanct●rius more than the half part of our Aliments are dissipated Secondly Or in the consistence of Urine which being separated from the bloud in the Kidneys and filtred through the Papillar Caruncles into the Pilorus is powred through the Uriters into the Bladder and having received the thinnest and most serous part of the Chylus immediately from the Stomack by the Gastrick Vein is thence evacuated out of the Body To Serum is also referred Sweat and the Tears we shed A Part or Limb is defined A Body adhering to the whole and partaking of the same life with it being created for the exercising of certain Functions They are distinguished in Similaries and Dissimilaries A Similary part is that which cannot be divided in other parts of a different species and it is twofold Spermatick and Carnal 1. The Spermatick are constructed in the first conformation of the body out of the grossest part of the Seed 2. The Carnal out of the MenstrualBlood The Similary parts are Eleven in number 1. Bones 2. Tendrels 3. Ligaments 4. Tendons 5. Membranes 6. Fibres 7. A threefold flesh the Musculous the Parenchyme and the Glandules 8. The Skin 9. The Veines 10. The Arteries 11. And the Nerves or Sinews The Bones are joyned either by I. Diarthrosis or Articulation with some motion either by 1. Enarthosis when there is a considerable quantity of the Bone received in a large Cavity 2. Arthrodia when the receiving cavity is but Supersiciary 3. Ginglime when a Bone receives and is received II. Symphosis or Coalition without Motion 1. Sutures as in the Bones of the Head 2. Harmony as in the Bones of the Nose and upper Jaw 3. Gomphosis as the Teeth And they are bound either by First Syncondrosis or with a Tendrel Secondly Syndeurosis or a Ligament Thirdly Sysarcosis or with some flesh or muscle Note that to the exercising of the Similary parts Functions there needs only their due temper and commoderation A Dissimilary part is that which may be divided in parts of a different Species Many do confound them with the Organical Nevertheless there is this difference that all Dissimilary parts are Organical but not all Organical Dissimilary for the Bones Veins and Arteries are Similary and yet produce Organical actions Four conditions are requisite to the perfect exercising of the Dissimilaries actions namely 1. A due Conformation 2. Magnitude 3. Number 4. And Conjunction Whereof the last comprehends two others to wit Seat and Connexion These parts are distinguished in First Containing and Secondly Contained And then again in 1. Common and 2. Proper Distinguished in 1. Nobles 2. Ignobles First The Noble or principal parts distributing the Spirits and Faculties to the whole Body are absolutely necessary to it They are three Viz. 1. The Brains 2. Heart 3. Liver Which being excepted all the rest are Ignoble as being subservient to them and they are the other parts of 1. the Head 2. Trunk And 3. 〈◊〉 1. The Head is divided in the Soul and Face the common containing parts whereof are the thin and the hairy Skin the fat and the ●leshy Membrane It s proper parts are the Scalp or Pericrane the Perioste the Muscles the Bones and two Meninges The contained parts of it are the Brain the A●ter-brain and the Marrow The second hath in its upper part the sore-head in the lower the mouth and the instruments of the Senses as the Eyes the Eares the Nose c. 2. The Trunk is distinguished in the Breast and lower Belly the proper containing parts of the first besides the Muscles Bones c. Being the Pap the Midriff the Pleure and the Mediastin The contained are either Bowels as the Heart with its purse the Lungs a part of the Weazon and of the throat or Vessels as some branches of the Vena Cava and great Artery sustained by the thymus in the Throat and several Sinews The lower Bellies proper containing parts are the Muscles of the Panch and the Belly-rim The contained are either employed to Nutrition namely to Chylification as the Stomack the Kall the Sweet-bread the Guts and the Mesentery or to Sanguisication as the Mesaraick Veins the post Vein and the Cava the Liver the Gall the Bladder and the Milt 3. The Ioints are divided in the uppermost containing the great Hand namely the Arm that is the Shoulder from the upper shoulder to the Elbow and the Cubit from the Elbow to the Wrist The lesser Hand divided in the Wrist between the Cubit and the Palm and the fist between the Wrist and the beginning of the Fingers whose inward part is called the Palm and the outward the Back of the Hand The undermost contain the great Foot comprehending the Thigh from the Britch to the Knee the Leg from the Knee to the lesser foot which is divided in the Foot Pedium Metapedium and Toes Before we come to Faculties and Functions it will not be amiss to say what the Soul is They define it The substantial Form of a living Body and the inward principle of the actions thereof For The Soul a Substance and a Spirit is Which God himself doth in the Body make Which makes the man for every man from this The Nature of a Man and Name doth take It s connexion with the Body is called Life and its separation Death Neither is this last greatly to be feared of a Christian since it is but a passage to a better Life and that as saith the Italian Poet.

Pleasantly if amongst Remedies those are first made use of wherewith we may obtain our ends with less molestation of the Patient Those things are called Natural which do enter in the composition of mans Body and although its first ingredient may be the universal matter of Cartesius out of whose particles variously figurated and moved according to the variety of their figures and motions those bodies do arise which though they be not the very first nor can be demonstrated absolutely simple in their dissolution yet because they are of the first order of sensible Bodies whereof others are composed they may commodiously by a Chirurgion who is an Artist of sensibles be conceived in the Body of Man as its 1. Elements whence do arise its 2. Tempers or Complexions 3. Humours 4. Parts or Limbs 5. Faculties 6. Actions And 7. Spirits Whereunto 1 Age. 2 The Sex 3 Colour 4 Commoderation 5 The Season of the Year 6 The Clime 7 And manner of Living are annexed Elements are single Bodies out of which the mixt are composed and into which they may be resolved but they in none of a singler composition They are reckoned four 1 Fire 2 Air. 3 Water 4 And Earth Whose number and station Ovid hath thus expressed Quatuor Aeternus Genitalia corpor a Mundus Continet ex illis duo sunt onerosa suoque Pondere in inferius Tellus atque Unda feruntur Et totidem gravitate carent nulloque premente Altapetunt Aer atque aere purior Ignis That is The Eternal World four Bodies comprehends Engendring all The heavy Earth descends And Water clog'd with weight Two light aspire Depress'd by none pure Air and purer Fire Which the Antient thought to evince by the Argument of mixt Bodies dissolution Thus given by Dubart●s Cela se voit a locil dans le brulant Tison Son feu court versle Ceil sanatale Maison Son air vole en fumé en cendre chet sa terre Son cau boult dans ses nocuds c. That is perfectly seen when burning wood doth send Its Fire to heaven the place from whence it did des●end Its Air then flies in smoak its Earth in ashes falls In its knots water boyls c. But the weakness of this Argument is plainly discovered by the learned Boyle in his Chymista Scepticus so that as we said before These Elements can at most be reckoned but amongst the first Classes of mixt Bodies The Elementary qualities are also four Namely 1 Heat 2 Coldness 3 Moisture 4 Driness Whereof the two first though all act in some measure compared to the latter are called Active the two others Passive 1. Fire is of a hot and dry quality 2. Aire of a hot and moist 3. Water of a moist and cold 4. And Earth of a cold and dry Temper or Complexion is a proportion of the four primary Qualities arising from the mixture of the Elements But if we consider the universal matter it may be defined A moderation of the Particles endued with contrary Qualities There are four single Tempers 1 Hot. 2 Cold. 3 Moist 4 Dry. And four compos'd 1 Hot and Moist 2 Hot and Dry. 3 Cold and Moist 4 Cold and Dry. Whereunto is added another called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is Temperate which is distinguished 1. In a Temper according to weight when the Elements are both in mass and quality so proportioned that none can be said to predominate 2. And in another according to justice which consisteth in a temperature convenient for the exercising of all necessary actions This Temper is either of the whole body by reason of which Males are said to be hotter then Females or of the several parts whose Rule is this whatsoever is Red in the Body is Hot whatsoever is White Cold that which is Soft is Moist and that which is Hard Dry. Whence it follows That whatsoever is Red and Hard is Hot and Dry as the Heart whatsoever is Red and Soft is Hot and Moist as the Flesh What is White and Hard is Cold and Dry as the Bones and what is White and Soft is Cold and Moist as the Brains Childhood comprehending the first five and twenty years of our age is of a hot and moist temper From thence Youth proceeding to five and thirty or fourty years of a hot and dry Manhood consisting in the ten or fifteen next years is esteemed cold and dry and thence Old age till our lifes end is more or less said to be cold and moist or according to others cold and dry its moisture being but accidental and excrementitious though God can yet extend our life to a long durance as the German Poet Freinshemius elegantly expresseth I st schirr nichts ubrig mehr al 's seelen voller schnen Al 's leber voller Thod al 's leiber voller plag Al 's zeiten voller qual al 's zungen voller klag Al 's hertzen voller angst al 's augen voller trahnen That is Though nothing but a soul full fraught with longing fears Be left a deathful life a body full of pain A time full of distress a tongue but to complain A much oppressed heart and an eye full of tears The Spring is temperate Summer is hot and dry Autumn cold and dry and Winter cold and moist The Spring begins when the Sun enters the Sign Aries and continues as the other seasons with small difference do some three months whilst the Sun runs through as many Signs of the Zodiack whose number and order Virgil thus describes Primus adest Aries 1 Taurus 2 insignibus auro Cornibus Fratres 3 Cancer 4 aquatile signum Tum Leo 5 terribilis Nemeus atque innuba Virgo 6. Libra 7 subit caudaque animal 8 quod dirigit ictum Armatusque arcu Chyron 9 Corniger Hircus 10 Fusor aqua 11 simul fulgenti lumine Pisces 12. The name of Humor is given to whatsoever is perceived flowing in the Body of a living Creature endued with blood The same is first Natural or secondly against Nature The Natural is again divided into primary and secundary alimentary and excrementitious The alimentary or nourishing humors were constituted by the Antients four in number 1. Blood 2. Phlegm 3. Choler 4. Melancholly But the Modern esteem that Blood only is a fit nourishment of the Body and that the other humors flowing with it whereunto they have added the Lymphatick and Pancreatical Juice do only contribute to its effervescency or temperature as will be said hereafter amongst whcih humours there is no melancholy except the thickest and grossest part of the Blood as is found in the Atrabiliary Capsules or is evacuated by the Haemorroids be taken for it But before we expound how blood is produced let us hear how the Ancients did conceive it It is thus expressed by the Danish Poet Arocusis Du Mauge gode Kock din mad saa vel for kryder At derat Kortar hid en kraftig saft ud flyder Som Du til Leftueren vid middel
