marke the spreading for as it is of the one so it is of the other as thus when the branch is in the Arme-pit there hée is divided into two branches The one Branch goeth along in the inner side of the arme vntill it come to the bough of the Arme and there it is called Bazilica or Epatica and so goeth downe the Arme till it come to the wrist and there it is turned to the backe of the Hand and it is found betwéene the little finger and the next and there it is called Salvatella Now to the other Branch that is in the Arme-hole which spreadeth to the vtter side of the shoulder and there he divideth in two the one goeth spreading vp into the carnous part of the Head and after descendeth through the Bone into the Braine as it is declared in the Anatomy of the head The other branch goeth on the outward side of the Arme and there he is divided into two also the one part is ended at the hand and the other part is folded about the arme till it appeare in the bouget of the arme and there is called Sephalica from thence it goeth to the backe of the hand and appeareth betwéene the Thumbe and the foremost finger and there it is called Sephalica Ocularis The two Branches that I speake of which be divided in the hinder part of the shoulders from each of these two I say springeth one and those two méete together and make one Veyne which appeareth in the bough of the Arme and there it is called Mediana or Coadialis or Commine And thus it is to be vnderstood that of Vena Sephalica springeth Vena Ocularis and of Vena Bazilica springeth Vena Salvatella and of the two Veynes that méete springeth Vena Mediana and in ramefying from these fiue principall Veynes springeth innumerable of the which a Chirurgion hath no great charge for it sufficeth vs to know the principals To speake of Arteirs you shall vnderstand that wheresoever there is found a Veyne there is an Arteir vnder him and if there be found a great Veyne there is found a great Artier and whereas is a little Veyne there is a little Artier for wheresoeuer there goeth a Veyne to giue nutriment there goeth an Artier to bring the spirit of life Wherefore it is to bée noted that the Artiers lye more déeper in the flesh then the Veynes doe for they carry and kéepe in them more precious blood then doth the Veyne and therefore hée hath néed to bée further from dangers outwardly and therefore God and Nature haue ordained for him to be closed in two Coates where the Veyne hath but one The Breast of Thorax is the Arke or Chest of the spirituall members of man as saith the Philosopher where it is to bée noted that there be foure things containing and right contained as thus The foure containing are the Skinne Musculus flesh the Pappes and the Bones The parts contained are the Heart the Lunges Pannicles Lygaments Nerues Veynes Artiers Myre or Isofagus Now the Skinne and the flesh are knowne in their Anatomy It is to be noted that the flesh of the Pappes differeth from the other flesh of the body for it is white glandulus and spongeous and there is in them both Nerues Veines and Artiers and by them they haue Coliganes with the Heart the Liver the Braine and the Generatiue members Also there is in the Breast as old Authors make mention lxxx or xc Muscles for some of them be common to the Necke some to the Shoulders and to the Spades some to Dyafragma or the Mydriffe some to the Ribbes some to the Backe and some to the Breast it selfe But I find certaine profitablenesse in the creation of the Pappes as well in man as in woman for in man it defendeth the spirituals from annoyance outwardly and another by their thicknesse they comfort the naturall heate in defiance of the spirits And in women there is the generation of Milke for in women there commeth from the Matrix into their Breasts many Veynes which bring into them Menstruall blood the which is turned through the digestiue vertue from red colour into white like the colour of the Pappes even as Chilley comming from the stomacke to the Liver is turned into the colour of the Liver Now to speake of the Bones of the Breast they bée said to bée triple or thrée fold and they be numbred to the seven in the Breast before and their length●s according to the breadth of the Breast and there extremities or ends be gristly as the Ribbes be And in the vpper end of Thorax is an hole or a concavity in which is set the foot of the Furkle-bone or Cannel-bone and in the nether end of Thorax against the mouth of the Stomacke hangeth a a Gristle called Ensiforme and this Gristle was ordained for two causes One is that it should defend the stomacke from hurt outwardly The second is that in time of fulnesse it should giue place to the stomacke in time of néed when it desireth c. Now to speake of the parts of the Backe behind foorth There be twelue Spondels through whom passeth Mynuca of whom springeth twelue paire of Nerues bringeth bath féeling and mooving to the Muscles of the Breast aforesayd And héere it is to be noted that in every side there be twelue Ribs that is to say seven true and fiue false because these fiue bée not so long as the other seven be and therefore called false Ribs as it may be perceived by the sight of the Eye Likewise of the parts that be inwardly and first of the Heart because hée is the principall of all other members and the beginning of life hée is set in the middest of the Breast severally by himselfe as Lord and King of all members And as a Lord or a King ought to be served of his Subjects that haue their living of him so are all other members of the Body subjects to the Heart for they receiue their living of him and they doe service many wayes vnto him againe The substance of the Heart is as it were Lazartus Flesh but it is spermaticke and an officiall member and the beginning of life and hée giveth to every member of the Body both blood of life and spirit of breath and heate for if the Heart were of Lazartus flesh his mooving and stirring should be voluntary and not naturall but the contrary is true for it were impossible that the Heart should be ruled by Will onely and not by Nature The Heart hath the shape and forme of a Pine-apple and the broad end thereof is vpwards and the sharpe end is downewards depending a little towards the left side And hée it is to be noted that the Heart hath blood in his substance whereas all other members haue it but in their Veines and Arteirs Also the Heart is bound with certaine Ligaments to the backe part of the Breast but these Lygaments touch not the substance of

II. The Anatomie of the simple Members ANd if it bee asked you how many simple Members there be it is to be answered Eleven and two that be but superfluities of Members and these be they Bones Cart●lages Nex●es Pannicles Ligaments Cordes Arteirs Veynes Fatnesse Flesh and Skinne and the superfluities bée the Haires and Nailes I shall begin at the Bone because it is the Foundation and the haidest Member of all the Body The Bone is a cosimile Member simple and spermaticke and cold and dry of Complexion insensible and inflexible and hath divers formes in Mans body for the diversity of helpings The cause why there be many Bones in mans body is this Sometime it is néedfull that one members or one limbe should mooue without another another cause is that some defend the principall members as both the Bone of the Brest and of the Head and some to bée the Foundation of divers parts of the Body as the Bones of the ridge and of the Legges and some to fulfill the hollow places as in the Hands and Féet c. The Gristle is a member simple and Spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Bone and is of complexion cold and dry and insensible The Gristle was ordained for sixe causes or profits that I find in it The first is that the continuall mooving of the hard Bone might not be done in a juncture but that the Gristle should be a meane betwéene the Ligament and him The second is that in the time of concussion or oppression the soft members or limbes should not be hurt of the hard The third is that the extremity of Bones and Ioynts that be grisly might the easier be foulded and n●wved together without hurt The fourth is for that it is necessary in some meane places to put a Gristle as in the throat bowle for the the sound The fifth is for that it is néedfull that some members be holden vp with a Gristle as the lids of the Eyes The sixt is that some Limbes haus a sustaining and a drawing abroad as in the Nose and the Eares c. The Ligament is a member consimple simple and spermaticke next in hardnesse to the Gristle and of complexion cold and dry and is flexible and insensible and bindeth the Bones together The cause why he is flexible and insensible is this If it had béene sensible he might not haue suffered the labour and mooving of the Ioynts and if it had not béene flexible of his bowing one Limme should not haue mooved without another The second profit is that he be joyned with sinewes for to make Cordes and Bawnes The third helpe is that he be a resting place to some sinewes The fourth profit is that by him the members that be within the Bone be sustained as the Matrixe and Kidneys and divers other c. The Sinew is a consimiler member simple and spermatick a meane betwéene hard and soft and in complexion cold and dry and he is both flexible and sensible strong and tough having his beginning from the Braine or from Mynuca which is the Marrow of the backe And from the braine commeth seaven paire of Nerues sentatine and from Mynuca commeth thirty paire of Nerues motiue and one that is by himselfe that springeth of the last spondell All these sinewes haue both féeling and mooving in some more and in some lesse c. A Corde or Tendon is a consimple or officiall member compound and spermaticke sinowy strong and tough meanely betwéene hardnesse and softnesse and meanly sensible and flexible and in complexion cold and dry And the Corde or Tendon is thus made The sinewes that come from the braine and from Mynuca and goe to mone the members is intermingled with the Lygaments and when the sinewes and Lygaments are intermingled together then is made a Corde And for thrée causes I perceiue why the Cordes were made The first is that the sinew alone is so sensible that hée may not suffer the great labour and travell of moving without the fellowship and strength of the Ligament that is insensible and that letteth his great féeling and bringeth him to a perfit temperance And so the Cordes moue the limbes to the will of the soule And this Corde is associated with a simple f●e●h and so thereof is made a Brawne or a Muskle on whom he might rest after his travell and this Brawne is called a Muskle Then when this Corde is entred into this Brawne he is departed into many small thréeds the which be called Will and this Will hath thrée properties The first is in length by whose vertue that draweth it hath might The second in breadth by whom the vertue that casteth out hath might The third in thwartnes in whom the vertue that holdeth hath might and at the end of the Brawne those thréeds be gathered together to make another Muskle c. Now I will begin at the Arteir This Arteir is a member consimile simple and spermaticke hollow and finowie having his springing from the heart bringing from the heart to every member blood and spirit of life It is of complexion cold and dry And all these Arteirs haue two coates except one that goeth to the Lungs and he hath but one coate that spreadeth abroad in the Lungs and bringeth with him to the Lungs blood with the spirit of life to nourish the Lungs withall And also that Arteir bringeth with him from the Lungs ayre to temper the fumous heate that is in the heart And this Arteir is he that is called Arteria Venalis because he hath but one coate as a vaine and is more obedient to be delated abroad through all the Kings because that the blood might the sooner sweat through him whereas all other Arteirs haue two coates because one coate may not withstand the might and power of the spirit of life Divers other causes there be which shall be declared in the Anatomie of the breast c. The Veyne is a simple member in complexion cold and dry and spermaticke like to the Arteir having his beginning from the Liver and bringeth from the Liuer nutritiue blood to nourish euery member of the body with And it is so to be vnderstood that there is no more difference betwéene these two vessels of blood but that the Arteir is a vessell of blood spirituall or vitall And the Veyne is a vessell of blood nutrimentall of the which Veynes there is noted two most principall of the which one is called Vena Porta the other is called Venacelis of whom it is too much to treat of now vntill we come to the Anatomy of the Wombe c. The Flesh is a consimile member simple not spermaticke and is ingendred of blood congealed by heate and is in complexion

the Heart but in the ouer-part they spring foorth of him and is fastened as a aforesaid Furthermore the Heart hath two Ventricles or Concavities and the left is higher then the right and the cause of his hollownesse is this For to kéepe the blood for his nourishing and the ayre to abate and temper the great heate that hée is in the which is kept in Concavities Now héere it is to be noted that to the right Ventrickle of the Heart commeth a Veyne from the great Veyne called Venakelis that receiveth all the substance of the blood from the Liver And this Veyne that commeth from Venakelis entreth into the heart of the right Ventricle as I said before and in him is brought a great portion of the thickest blood to nourish the heart with and the residue that is left of this is made subtill through the vertue of the Heart and then this Blood is sent into a Concavity or pit in the midst of the Heart betwéene the two Ventricles and therein it is made hot and pured and then it passeth into the left Ventricle and there is ingendred in it a Spirit that is cléerer brighter and subtiller then any Corporall or Bodily thing that is engendred of the foure Elements For it is a thing that is a meane betwéene the Body and the Soule Wherefore it is likened of the Philosophers to be more liker heavenly things then earthly things Also it is to be noted that from the left Ventricle of the heart springeth two Arteirs the one having but one Coate and therefore it is called Arteria Venalis And this Arteir carryeth Blood from the Heart to the Lungs the which Blood is vaporous that is tryed and left of the Heart and is brought by this Artery to the Lungs to giue him Nutriment and there he receiveth of the Lungs ayre and bringeth it to the heart to refresh him with Wherefore Galen sayth that hée findeth that mans Heart is Naturall and friendly to the Lungs For he giveth him of his owne Mutrimentall to nourish him with and the Lungs reward him with ayre to refresh him with againe c. The other Artier that hath two Coates is called Vena Arterialis or the Great Artery that ascendeth and discendeth and of him springeth all the other Arteirs that spred to euery member of the Body for by him is vnited and quickned all the members of the Body For the Spirit that is retained in them is the instrument or treasure of all the vertue of the Soule And thus it passeth vntill it come to the Braine and there he is turned into a further digestion and there hée taketh another Spirit and so is made animall and at the Liver nutrimentall and at the Testikles generatiue and thus it is made a spirit of euery kind so that hée being meane of all manner operations and workings taketh effect Two causes I find why these Arteirs haue two Coates One is that one Coate is not sufficient nor able to withstand the violent mooving and stirring of the Spirit of life that is carryed in them The second cause is that the thing that is carryed about from place to place is of so precious a Treasure that it had the more néed of good kéeping And of some Doctors this Artier is called the Pulsatiue Veyne or the beating Veyne for by him is perceived the power and might of the Heart c. Wherefore God and Nature haue ordained that the Arteirs haue two Coates Also there is in the Heart thrée Pellikles opening and closing the going in of the Heart blood and spirit in convenient time Also the Heart hath two little Eares by whom commeth in and passeth out the Ayre that is prepared for the Lungs Also there is found in the Heart a Cartilaginous Auditament to helpe and strengthen the selfe Heart Also the Heart is covered with a strong Pannicle which is called of some Capsula Cordes or Paricordium the which is a strong case vnto whom commeth Nerues as to other inward members And this Pannicle Pericordium springeth of the vpper Pannicle of the Midriffe And of him springeth another Pannicle called Mediastinum the which departeth the Breast in the midst and kéepeth that the Lungs fall not over the Heart Also there is another Pannicle that covereth the Ribs inwardly that is called Plura of whom 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 another CHAP. VIII The Anatomy of the Lungs THE Lungs is a member Spermatick of the first Creation and his naturall complexion is cold and dry and in his accidentall complexion he is cold and moyst lapped in a Neruous Pannicle because it should gather together 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 himselfe Now to proue the Lungs to bée cold and dry of kind it appeareth by his swift stirring for hée lyeth ever waving ouer the Heart and about the Heart And that hée is cold and moyst in reward it appeareth well that he receiveth of the Braine many cold matters as Cataries and Rheumes whose substance is thinne Also I find in the Lungs thrée kinds of substance One is a Veyne comming from the Liver bringing with him the Crude or raw part of the Chylle to féed the Lungs Another is Arteria Venealis comming from the Heart bringing with him the spirit of life to nourish him with The third 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 divided into fiue Lobbes or Pellikeles or fiue portions that is to say thrée in the right side and two in the left side And this was done for this cause that if there fell any hurt in the one part the others should serue and doe their office And thrée causes I find why the Lungs were principally ordained First that they should draw cold wind and refresh the Heart The second that they should change and alter and purifie the ayre before it come to the Heart lest the heart were hurt and annoyed with the quantity of the ayre The third cause is that they should receiue from the heart the fumous superfluities that he putteth foorth with his breathing c. Behind the Lungs toward the Spondels passeth Myre or Isofagus of whom it is spoken of in the Anatomy of the Necke And also there passeth both Veynes and Arteirs and all these with Trachia Arteria doe make a Stoke replete vnto the Gullet with the Pannicles and strong Ligaments and Glandulus flesh to fulfill the voyd places And last of all is the Midriffe and it is an officiall member made of two Pannicles and Lazartus flesh and his place is in the midst of the body over-thwart or in breath vnder the region of the Spirituall members departing them from the

thicknesse he should comfort the digestion of other members that lye by him The second is that through him every member is made the formelier and taketh the better shape The third is that by his meanes every member of the Body drawing to him nourishing the which others with-hold to put foorth from them as it shall be more plainlyer spoken of in the Anatomy of the Wombe Next followeth Pericranium or the covering of the Bones of the Head But here it is to be noted of a Veyne and an Arteir that commeth betwéene the Flesh and this Pericraniam that nourisheth the vtter part of the head and so entreth pri●ily thorow the Commissaries of the Skull bearing to the Braine and to his Pannicles nourishing Of whose substance is made both Duramater and also Pericranium as shall be declared in the parts contayned in the Head Here it is to be noted of this Pannicle Pericranium that it bindeth or compasseth all the Bones of the Head vnto whom is adjoyned Duramater and is also a part of his substance he wheit they be separated for Duramater is néerer the Braine and is vnder the Skull This Pericranium was made principally for two causes one is that for ●is strong binding together hée should make firme and stable the féeble Commissaries or seames of the Bones of the Head The other cause is that it should be a meane betwéene the hard bone and the soft flesh Next is the Bone of the Pot of the head kéeping in the Braines of which it were too long to declaire their names after all Authors as they number them and their names for some name them after the Gréeke tongue and some after the Arabian but in conclusion all this to our purpose And they be numbred seven bones in the pan or Skull of the head The first is called the Coronall bone in which is the Orbits or holes of the Eyes and it reacheth from the browes vnto the midst of the head and there it méeteth with the second bone called Occipissiall a bone of the hinder part of the head called the Noddle of the head which two bones Coronall and Occipissiall be divided by the Commissaries in the middest of the Head The third and fourth Bones bée called Parietales and they be the Bones of the ●ideling parts of the head and they be divided by the Commissaries both from the foresaid Coronall and Occipissiall The fi●●-and Art bones be called Petrosa or Mendosa and these two bones lye over the bones called Parietales on every side of the head one like Skales in whom be the holes of the cares The seventh and last of the ●ead is called Parill●arie or Bazillarie the which Bone is as it were a wedge vnto all the other seven Bones of the head and doth fasten them together And thus be all numbred The first is the Coronall Bone the second is the Occipissiall the third and the fourth is Parietales the fifth and the sixth is Petrosa or Mendosa And the seventh is Parillarie or Bazillarie And this sufficeth for the fiue things containing CHAP. IIII. In this Chapter is declared the five things contayned within the Head NExt vnder the Bones of the Head within foorth the first thing that appeareth is Duramater then is Piamater then the substance of the Braine and then Vermy formes and Letemirabile But first wée are to speaks of Duramater whereof and ●ow it is sprung and made First it is to be noted of the V●yne and Arteire that was spoken of in the last Chapter before how privily they entered through the Commissaries or seames of the Head and there by their Vnion together they doe not onely bring and giue the spirit of Life and m●●riment but also doe weaue themselves so together that they make this Pannicle Duramater It is holden vp by certaine thréeds of himselfe comming through the said Commissaries running into Pericranium or Pannicle that covereth the Bones of the Head And with the foresaid Veine and Artier and these threeds comming from Duramater is woven and made this Pericranium And why this Pannicle Duramater is set from the Skull I note two causes The first is that if the Duramater should haue touched the Skull it should lightly haue béene hurt with the hardnesse of the Bone The second cause is that the matter that commeth of wounds made in the Head piercing the Skull should by it the better be defended and kept from Piamater and hurting of the Braine And next vnto this Pannicle there is another Pannicle called Piamater or Méek-mother because it is soft and tender vnto the Braine Of whose creation it is to be noted as of Duramater For the originall of their first creation is of one kind both from the Heart and the Liver and is Mother of the very substance of the Braine Why it is called Piamater is for because it is soft and tender to the Braine that if nourisheth the Braine and féedeth it as doth a loving Mother vnto her tender Chi●●● or Babe for it is not so tough and hard as is Duramater In this Pannicle Piamater is much to be noted of the great number of Veines and Arteirs that are planted ramefying throughout all his substance giving to the Braine both spirit and life And this Pannicle doth circumvolue or lay all the substance of the Braine and in some place of the Braine the Veynes and the Artiers goe forth of him and enter into the divisions of the Braine and there drinketh of the Braines substance into them asking of the Heart to them the spirit of life or breath and of the Liver nu●riment And the aforesaid spirit or breath taketh a further disgestion and there it is made animall by the elaboration of the spirit vitall is turned and made animall Furthermore why there be no more Pannicles over the Braine then one is this If there had beene but one Pannicle onely either it must haue béene hard or soft or meane betwéens both If it had béene hard it should haue hurt the Braine by his hardnesse If it had béene soft it should haue béene hurt of the hard Bone And if it had qéene but meanly neyther hard nor soft it should haue hurt the Braine by his roughnesse and also haue béene hurt of the hard Bone Therefore God and Nature hath ordained two Pannicles the one hard 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 cold and dry of complexion and spermaticke Next is the Braine of which it is marvellously to be considered and noted how this Piamater divideth the substance of the Braine and lappeth it into certaine selles or divisions as thus The substance of the Braine is divided into thrée parts or ventricles of which the foremost part is the most The second or middlemost is lesse the third or hindermost is the least And from each one to another be issues or passages that

take rest vnderneath them Why the haires were ordained in them is that by them is addressed the formes or similitudes of visible things vnto the Apple of the Eye The Eare is a member seemely and griftly able to be solden without and is the Organ or Instrument of Hearing It is of complexion cold and dry But why the Eare was set vp out of the head is this that the sounds that be very fugitiue should hirke and abide vnder his shadow till it were taken of the Instruments of Hearing Another cause is that if should kéepe the hole that it standeth over from things falling in that might hinder the Hearing The Sinewes that are the Organes or Instruments of Hearing spring each from the Braine from whence the seuen paire of Sinewes doe spring and when they come to the hole of the Eare there they w●i●he like a Winepresse and at the ends of them there be like the head of a Worme or like a little tease in which is received the sound and so carryed to the common wi●● The Eyes be next of nature vnto the soule for in the Eye is séene and knowne the disturbances and griefes gladnesse and joyes of the Soule as Loue Wrath and other passions The Eyes be the Instruments of sight And they be compound and made of ten things that is so say of seuen Tunicles or Coates and of thrée humours Of the which sayth Galen the Braine and the Head were made for the Eye that they might be in the highest as a Beholder in a Tower as it was revearsed in the Anatomy of the Head But divers men hold divers opinions of the Anatomy of the Eyes for some men account but thrée Tunicles and some sixe But in conclusion they meane all one thing For the very truth is that there be counted and reckoned seven Tunicles that is to say Sclirotica Secondina Retyna Unia Cornua Arania and Conjunctiva and these thrée humoure That is to say Humor Virtus Humor Albigynus and Humor Chrystallinus It is to be knowne how and after what manner they spring You shall vnderstand that there springeth of the Braine substance of his foremost Ventrikles two Sinewes the one from the right side and the other from the left and they be called the first paire for in the Anatomy they be the first paire of sinewes that appeare of all seven And it is shewed by ●ales that these 〈◊〉 was bée hollow as a Réede for two ca●●ses The first is that the visible spirit might passe fréely to the Eyes The second is that the forme of visible things might freely be presented to the common wittes Now marke the going forth of these sinewes When these sinewes goe out from the substance of the Braine he commeth through the Piamater of whose substance he taketh a Pannicle or a Coate and the cause why he taketh that Pannicle is to kéepe him from noying and before they enter into the Skull they méete and are vnited into one sinew the length of halfe an inch and then they depart againe into two and each goeth into one Eye entring through the braine Panne and these sinewes be called Nervi optici And thrée causes I finde why these Nerues are joyned in one before they passe into the Eye First if it happen any diseases in one Eye the other should receiue all the visible spirit that before come to both The second is that all things that wée sée should not séeme two for if they had not béene joyned together every thing should have séemed two as it doth to a Worme and to other Beasts The 〈◊〉 is that the sinew might stay and helpe the other But hereupon Lanfranke accordeth much saying that these two sinewes came together to the Eyes and take a Pannicle both of Piamater and of Duramater and when they enter into the Orbit of the Eye there the extremities are spread abroad the which are made of thrée substances that is to say of Duramater of Piamater and of Nervi optici There be engendred thrée Tunicles or Coates as thus Of the substance that is taken from Duramater is engendred the first Coate that is called Secondina and of Nervi optici is engendred the third Coate that is called Retina and each of them is more subtilier then other and goeth about the humours without meane And it is to be vnderstood that each of these three Tunicles be divided and so they make fire that is to say thrée of the parts of the braine and thrée of the parts outwards and one of Pericranium that covereth the Bones of the head which is called Conjunctiva And thus you may perceiue the springing of them as thus Of Duramater springeth Citrotica 〈◊〉 Cornua Of ●iamater springeth Secondina and Vnia And of Pervi Optici springeth Conjunctiva Now to speake of the humours which bee three and their places are the middle of the Eyes of the which the first is ●u●hor ●●trus because he is like ●la●●e in colour very cleare red liquit or thinne and he is in the inward side next vnto the Braine and it is thinne because the mi●ritine blood of the Christalline might passe as water through a spunge should be clensed and made pure and also that the visible spirit might the lightlyer passe through him from the Braine And he goeth about the Chrystaline Humor 〈◊〉 méete with Albuginus Humour which is set in the vttermost part of the Eye And in the middest of these Humours Vltrus and Albuginus is set the Chrystaline Humour in which is set principally the sight of the Eye And these Humours be separated and involued with the Pannicles as aforesaid betwéene every Humour a Pannicle And thus is the Eye compound and made But to speake of every Humour and every Pannicle in his one order and course it would aske a long processe and a long Chapter and this is sufficient for a Chirurgion Now to begin at the Nose You shall vnderstand that from the braine there commeth two Sinewes to the holes of the braine pan where beginneth the concavity of the Nose and these two be not properly Sinewes but Organes or Instruments of smelling and haue heads like teates or paps in which is received the vertue of smelling and representing it to the common wits Ouer these two is set Colatorium that wée call the Nosthrils and is set betwéene the Eyes vnder the vpper part of the Nose And it is to be noted that this concavity or ditch was made for two causes The first is that the ayre that bringeth foorth the spirit of smelling might rest in it till it were taken of the Organe or Instrument of smelling The second cause is that the superfluities of the Braine might be hidden vnder it vntill it were clensed And from this concavity there goeth 〈◊〉 holes downe into the mouth of which there is to be noted thrée profits The first is that when a mans mouth is close or when he eateth or sléepeth that then the ayre might come

through them to the Lunges or else a mans mouth should alwayes be open The second cause is that they helpe to the relation of the forme of the Nose for it is said a man speaketh in his Nose when any of these holes he stopped The third cause is that the concavity might be clensed by them when a man snuffeth the Nose or draweth into his mouth inwardly The Nose is a member consimple or officiall appearing without the face some what ●licable because it should the better be cleansed And it is to be perceived that it is compound and made of Skin and Lazartus flesh and of two Bones standing in manner triangle-wise whose extremities he joyned in one part of the Nose with the Coronall Bone and the nether extremities are joyned with two Gristles and another that divideth the Nosthrils within and holdeth vp the Nose Also there be two concavities or holes that if one were stopped the other should serue Also there is in the Nose two Muscles to helpe the working of his Office And Galen sayth that the Nose shapeth the Face most for where the Nose lacketh sayth he all the rest of the Face is the more vnséemely The Nose should be of a meane bignesse and not to excéed in length or bredth nor in highnesse For Aristotle saith If the Nosthrils be too thin or too wide by great drawing in of ayre it betokeneth great straitnesse of heart and indignation of thought And therefore it is to be noted that the shape of the members of the Body betokeneth and judgeth the affections and will of the soule of man as the Philosopher saith The Temples he called the members of the Head and they haue that name because of continuall mouing And as the Science of the Anatomy meaneth the spirit vitall is sent from the heart to the braine by Arteirs and by Veines and nutrimentall blood where the Vessels Pulsati●es in the Temples be lightly hurt Also the Temple haue ●ents or holes inwardly wherein hée taketh the humour that commeth from the Braine and bringeth the Eyes asléepe and if the said Holes or Dents be pressed and wrung then by trapping of the humour that continueth hée maketh the teares to fall from the Eye The Chéekes are the sideling parts of the Face and they containe in them Musculus flesh with Veynes and Arteirs and about these parts be many Muscles Guido maketh mention of seven about the Chéekes and ouer-lip And Haly Abbas saith there be twelue Muscles that mooue the nether Iaw some of them in opening and othersome in closing or shutting passing vnder the Bones of the Temples and they be called Temporales And they be the right noble and sensatiue of whose hurt is much perill Also there bée other Musculus for to grinde and to chew And to all these Muscles commeth Nerues from the Braine to giue them féeling and mouing And also there commeth to them many Arteirs and Veynes and chiefly about the Temples and the angles or corners of the Eyes and the Lips And as the Philosophers say the chiefe beauty in man is in the Chéekes and there the complexion of man is most knowne as thus If they bée full ruddy and medled with temperate whitenesse and not fat in substance but meanely fleshie it betokeneth hot and moyst of complexion that is Sanguine and temperate in colour And if they be white coloured without medling of rednesse and in substance fat and soft quavering it betokeneth excesse and superfluity of cold and moyst that is flegmaticke And if they be browne in colour or cyfren yeallow redde and thinne and leaue insubstance it betokeneth great drying and heate that is choleticke And if they be as it were blowne in colour and of little flesh in substance it Betokeneth excesse and superfluity of drynesse and cold that is Melancholy And as Avicen saith the Chéekes doe not onely shew the diversities of complexions but also the affection and will of the Heart for by the affection of the heart by suddaine joy or dread he waxeth either pale or red The bones or bony parts first of the chéekes be two of the Nose outwardly two of the vpper Mandible two within the Nose thrée as thus One deviding the Nosthrils within and in each Nosthrill one and they séeme to be rowled like a water and haue a hollownesse in them by which the ayre is respired and drawne to the Lungs and the superfluity of the Braine is purged into the mouth●wards as in before rehearsed But Guido and Galen saith that there be in the face nine bones yet I cannot find that the nether Mandible should be of the number of those nine for the nether Mandible accounted there proueth them to be ten in number Of which thing I will hold no argument but remit it to the sight of your Eyes The parts of the mouth are fiue that is to say the Lippes the Téeth the Tongue the Vuila and the Pallet of the mouth And first to speake of the Lips they are members consimile or officiall full of Musculus flesh as is aforesaid and they were ordained for two causes one is that they should be to the mouth as a doore to a house and to kéepe the mouth close till the meat were kindly chewed The other cause is that they should be helpers to the pronouncing of the spéech The Téeth are members consimily or officiall spermaticke and hardest of any other members and are fastned in the Chéeke bones and were ordained for thrée causes First that they should chew a mans meate ere it should passe downe that it might bée the sooner digested The second that they should be a helpe to the spéech for they that lacke their téeth doe not perfectly pronounce their words The third is that they should serue to beasts as weapons The number of them is vncertaine for some men haue moe and some lesse they that haue the whole number haue two and thirty that is to say sixtéene aboue and as many beneath as thus two Dwallies two Quadripulles two Canniens eight Morales and two Causales the Tongue is a carnous member compound and made of many Nerues Ligaments Veynes and Artiers ordained principally for thrée causes The first is that when a man cateth the Tongue might helpe to turne the meat till it were well chewed The second cause is that by him is received the tast of swéete and sowre and presented by him to the common Wittes The third is that by him is pronounced euery spéech The fleshie part of the Tongue is white and hath in him nine Muscles and about the roote of him is Glandulus in the which be two welles and they be ever full of spettle to temper and kéepe moyst the Tongue or else it would ware dry by reason of his labour c. The Vuila is a member made of spongeous flesh banging downe from the end of the Pallet ouer the gullet of the throat and is a member in complexion cold and dry and oftentimes when

transversly linked to the stomacke and his substance is thinne And two causes I finde why he was ordained there The first is that by the Melancholius superfluities which are engendred of the Liver which hée draweth to him hée is nourished with The second cause is that the nutritiue Blood should by him be made the more purer and cleane from the Drosse and thicking of the Melancholy c. And next of the Reynes and Kidneyes It is to be vnderstood that within the Region of the Nutrites backwards are ordained the Kidneyes to clense the Blood from the watery superfluities and they haue each of them two passages or holes or Neckes By the one is drawne the water from Venakelis by two Veyns which are called Vencae Aemulgentes the length of the finger of a man and issueth from the Liver and by the other is sent the same water to the Bladder and is called Poros Urithides The substance of the Kidneyes is Lazartus Flesh having Longitudinall will and their place is behinde on each side of the Spondels and they are two in number and the right Kidney lyeth somewhat higher then the left and is bound fast to the backe with Lygaments The Philosopher saith that mans Kidneyes are like the Kidneyes of a Cow full of hard Concavities and therefore the sores of them are hard to cure Also they are more harder in substance then any other fleshly member and that for two causes One is that hée bée not much hurt of the sharpenesse of the Vrine The other is that the same Vrine that passeth from him might the better be altered and clensed through the same Also there commeth from the heart to each of the Kidneyes an Artier that bringeth with him Blood heat spirit and Life And in the same manner there commeth a Veyne from the Liver that bringeth blood to nourish the Kidneyes called Blood Nutrimentall The grease of the Kidneyes or Fatnesse is as of other inward members but it is an officiall member made of thinne Blood c●ngealed and crudded through cold and there is ordained the greater quantity in his place because it should receiue and temper the heat of the Kidneyes which they haue of the byting sharpenesse of the Water Now by the Kidneyes vpon the Spondels passeth Venakelis or Venacua which is a Veyne of great substance for he receiveth all the Nutrimentall blood from the Liver and from him passeth many small Pipes on every side and at the Spondell betwéene the shoulders he divideth himselfe whole in two great branches the one goeth into the one arme and the other into the other and there they divide themselves into many Veynes and branches as is declared in the armes CHAP. IX The Anatomie of the Haunches and their parts THE Haunches are the lower part of the Wombe joyning to the Thighs and the secret members And thrée things there are to be noted thereof The first is of the parts containing the second is of the parts contained and the third is of the parts procéeding outwards The parts containing outwardly be Myrac and Syfac the Zirbus and the bones The part contained outwardly a●e the Vez●ke or Bladder the Spermaticke vessels the Matrix in women Langaon Nerues Veynes and Artiers descending downewards the parts procéeding outwards are the Buttocks and the Muscles descending to the Thighes of which it is to bée spoken of in order And first of the parts containing as of Myrac Syfac and Zirbus there is enough spoken of in the Anatomy of the Wombe But as for the Bones of the Hanches there bée the parts of the backe thrée Spondels of Ossa sacri or of the Hanches and thrée Caitailiginis Spondels of Ossa Cande called the Taile-bone And thus it is proved that there is in every man thirty Spondels and thus they are to be numbred in the Necke seaven in the Ridge twelue in the Reynes fiue and in the Hanches sixe And it is to be noted that every Spondell is hollow in the middest through which hollownesse passeth Nuca from the Braine or the Marrow of the Backe And some Authors say that Mynuca is of the substance that the Braine is of For it is like in substance and in it selfe giveth to the Nerues both the ver●ue Mouing and Féeling And also every Spondell is holden on every side through the which holes both Arteirs and Veynes doe bring from the Heart and the Liver both Life and nourishment like as they doe to the Braine and from the Pannicle of Mynuca or the Marrow of the backe through the holes of the sides of the Spondels springeth foorth Nerues motiues and there they entermeddle themselues with the strong Lygaments that be insensible and so the Lygaments receiue that féeling of the Nerue which the Nerues taketh of Mynuca And by this reason many Authors prooue that Mynuca is of the same substance that the Braine is of and the Pannicles of the Nuca is of the same substance of the Pannicles of the Braine c. And each of these Spondels bée bound fast one with another so that one of them may not well bée named without another And so all these Spondels together contained one by another are called the Ridge-bone which is the foundation of all the shape of the Body They with the last Spondell be contained or joyned to the Bones of the Hanches and they be the vpholders of all the Spondels And these Bones bée small towards the Tale bone and abroad towards the Hanches and before they joyne and make Os Pectinis And so they bée broad in the parts of the Iles and therefore some Authors calleth it Ilea And each of these two Bones towards the Liver hath a great round hole into which is received the Bone called Vertebra or the Whorlebone Also besides that place there is a great hole or way thorow the which passeth from aboue Musculus Veynes and Artiers and goe into the Thighes And thus it is to bée noted that of this Bone Pecten and the Bone Vertebra is made the juncture of the Thigh Now to speake of the parts contained the first thing that commeth to sight is the Bladder the which is an officiall member compound of two Nervous Pannicles in complexion cold and dry whose Necke is carnous and hath Muscles to withhold and to let goe and in man it is long and is contained with the yard passing through Peritoneum but in women it is shorter and is contained with the Vulua The place of the Bladder is betwéene the bone of the Share and the Tayle-gut called Longaon and in women it is betwéene the aforesaid bone and the Matrix And in it is implanted two long vessels comming from the Kidneyes whose names be Porri Urikcides bringing with them the Vrine or water from the Kidneys to the Bladder which privily entreth into the holes of the Pannicles of the Bladder by a naturall mooving betwéene Tunicle and Tunicle and there the Vrine findeth the hole of the nether Tunicle and there it entreth privily into

cannot haue a naturall gestion once a day he cannot be long without Sicknesse Signes of Life or Death by the Pulses SPigmos is named the Pulses and there be twelue Pulses the which doe take their Originall at the Vitall spirits Thrée of which belong to the Heart the one is vnder the left Pap the other two doe lye in the Wrests of the armes directly against the Thumbs The Braine hath respect to seaven Pulses foure be principall and thrée be Minors the foure principall are thus scituate in the Temples two and one going vnder the Bone called the right Furkcle and the other doth lye in the corner of the right side of the Nose one of the thrée Minor Pulses in the corner of the left side of the Nose And the other two lye vpon the Mandibles of the two Iawes the Liver hath respect to the two Pulses which lye vpon the Féet By these Pulses expert Physitions and Chyrurgions by their knocking and clapping doe judge what principall member is diseased or whether the Patient be in danger If any of the principall pulses doe not beate truely kéeping an equall course as the minute of a clocke then there is no perill in the Patient so be it they kéepe a true course or puise without any pause or stopping which is to say if the Pulse giue fiue knockes and cease at the sixth knocke or else seuen and pause at eight or else knocke tenne and leape ouer the eleuenth and begin and the twelfth the Patient is in perill else not for it is not in the agility as t●● swift or tardie beating of the Pulse but in the pausing of the same contrary to its course that the Patient is in perill In such causes let the Physitian be circumspect and carefull for Sincopies in the Patient let him sit vpright in his Bed with Pillowes and let one fit at his backe to giue him drinke and let the Patient smell to Amber gréece or Rose water and Vineger or else rub the Pulse with Aqua Vitae Also when you touch the Pulse marke vnder which finger it strikes most strongest as thus If the Pulse vnder the little finger be féeble and weake and vnder the rest more weake it is a token of Death But contrariwise if vnder the little finger strong and vnder every finger stronger it is a good signe Also if the féele the Pulse vnder the fore finger vntill the eleventh stroke and it faile in it is a good signe but if he beate swift and vnorderly an evill OF WATERS Here followeth ni● precious Waters and first to
