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.

Implanted 2. Adventitious Whereof the first is denyed by some who conceive it impossible that the● same cause acting in the same manner should last so long and produce so many and often contrary Functions They were formerly divided as th● Faculties were in 1.

To the alteration of Humours Native Heat is a proper and special quality to all animated creatures whereby they live and exercise their functions uses and necessary operations Thus I think to have briefly explained not only the Natural things but also their Annexes except the manner of living which if it be watry and moist ●s obnoxious to diseases of that temper but if it be hot and dry the contrary must be expected In sum it appears by the Premises that the Body of Man is a Microcosme composed of several parts wonderfully effig●r●ted and adorned with sundry Functions created to be for a certain time the Domicil or dwelling place of the Rational Soul so that not without cause the German Poet exclaimes O Edles wundertheir zur weisheit auserkohren Uoll geist voll luft voll got vom himmel selbst gebohren Du Herr du Eben bild und auszug allerwelt Der unter ies den lauff der hohen sterner stelt Du weise Creatuur c. O thou noble Animal wonder to wisdom chosen Full of Spirit and God from Heaven it self rosen Thou Lord Type and extract of the whole Univers Disposing under thee the course of the high stars Thou creature full of Wit c. Those things are called not natural which do not enter in the Bodies composition but by a right use whereof it may long be maintained healthful and sound They are 1. Air. 2. Eating and Drinking 3. Motion and Quiet 4. Sleeping and Watching 5. Repletion and Evacuation 6. The Passions of the mind In the administration of all which we ought to consider 1. The Quality 2. Quantity 3. Manner of Using A free open serene and thin Air is to be esteemed the best as also the East and North Winds but the South and Western are held unwholsom The simpler our diet is the healthful●er it is to be esteemed for as Hora●e saith the variety of meat is very noxious viz. nam variae res Ut noceant homini credas memor illius escae Que simplex olim tibi sederit at simul assis Miscueris elixa simul conchilia turdis Dulcia se in bilem vertent stomachoque tumultum Lenta feret pituita vides ut pallidus omnis Coenâ desurgit dubiâ That thou mayst know how various things offend Think but what single meat did once defend Thee from approaching hunger but at last Roasted with boyld and Birds with Shels thou hast Together mixt In Choler what is sweet Will turn it self and thy Stomack surfeit With slimy Phlegm Consider then how pale Each riseth from his Seat and doubtful Meal Meats affording a good juice and substance are doubtless the wholsomest and nevertheless in expending them the sicknesses nature the strength age and labour of the Patient are to be perspicuously considered whereunto an inveterate custom is to be added for Country Men and Labourers convert meats of an easy digestion into Choler but extract a laudable substance of a courser● diet and thus Consuetudo valet longos mansura per annos Illaque Naturam vires si sumpserit aequat A constant use a second nature proves And if increast with equal force it moves Neither did the Antients neglect Order in Eating for they esteemed that what was easily decocted should enter first into the Stomach and that Lubrick meat ought to precede those that are Astringent But it is now believed that those niceti●s may be omitted since the Aliments are all converted in one mass whence the Chylus is afterward separated Whereunto I shall only add these two Verses of Drinking Aut nulla ebrietas aut tanta sit ut tibi curas Eripiat si quae est inter utrumque nocet Be never Drunk or so much let it be As to asswage thy Cares else 't will hurt thee Motion comprehends all kind of exercises the same ought to be moderate and we ought to leave it when Sweat begins to break out through the Pores for immoderate Labour weakens the Body and is very pernicious as Ovid saith of himself Me quoque debilitat semis immensa Laborum Ante meum tempus cogit esse senem Otia corpus alunt animus quoque pascitur illis Immodicus contra carpit utrumque labor Continual Toyl weakens my weary Limbs And makes me Old before my time be come Body and Mind by Rest are fed it seems But too much Work precipitates their doom Sleep as we said before Is a cessation from motion and sence whose Office is the restoring of the Bodies former strength It s proper time is Night an hour or two after Supper The first lying not being first on the Right Side as many believe but on the Left where the bottom of the Stomach is and the meat ought to lye and about morning when concoction is ended on the Right neither should it exceed the space of Fight hours wherewith if some are not satisfied certainly the sooner Longa quiescendi tempora fata dabunt The Fates will give sufficient time to sleep Dreams do in some manner indicate what ex●retion will be in the Crisis for if red and fiery they presage a Cholerick one if moist and watry a Phlegmatick Moderate watching quickens the senses and diffuseth heat and blood through the whole Body But if it be immoderate it weakens the same dries up the Spirits and spoiles the brains Temperature Repletion is either of quality or of quantity The first is seen in the Hectick Feaver or Marasmus The second hath a relation to the containing parts and is measured by their distention or to the Bodies strength when the same is fuller of humours than it can well bear The repletion of a single humour is called Cacochimy that of more Pletora Evacuation in the strictest sence Is an effusion of such humours as are superfluous
