first is that by it goeth forth the Urine or else it should bee shed throughout all the Vulva The second is that when a woman doth set her Thighs abroad it altereth the ayre that commeth to the Matrix for to temper the heate Furthermore the Necke that is betweene these two aforesaid mouthes in her concavity hath many involusions and pleates joyned together in the manner of Rose-leaves before they be fully spread or ripe and so they be shut together as a purse mouth so that nothing may passe forth but urine untill the time of Childing Also about the middle of this necke be certaine Veynes in Maydens the which in time of deflowring be corrupted and broken Furthermore in the sides of the outer mouth are two Testicles or Stones and also two vessels of Sperme shorter then mans vessels and in time of Coyt the Womans sperme is shead downe in the bottome of the Matrix Also from the Liver there commeth to the Matrix many Veynes bringing to the Child nourishing at the time of a womans being with Child and those Veynes at such time as the Matrix is voyd bring thereto superfluities from certaine members of the Body whereof are engendred womans Flowers c. And forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God to give the knowledge of these his Misteries and Workes unto his Creatures in this present World Heere J suppose to declare what thing Embreon is and his Creation The noble Philosophers as Galen Avicen Bartholmeus and divers others writing upon this matter say That Embreon is a thing engendred in the Mothers wombe the origin all whereof is the Sperme of the Man and of the Woman of the which is made by the might and power of GOD in the mothers wombe a Child as hereafter more at large shall bee declared First the field of Generation called the Matrix or the Mother is knowne in the Anatomy whose place is properly betwixt the Bladder and Longaon in the Woman in which place is sowne by the Tillage of man a covenable matter of kindly heate For kindly heate is cause efficient both of doing and working and Spirit that giveth vertue to the Body and governeth and ruleth that vertue the which Seed of generation commeth from all the parts of the Body both of the Man and Woman with consent and will of all Members and is shead in the place of Conceiving where thorow the vertue of Nature it is gathered together in the Celles of the Matrix or the Mother in whom by the way of the working of mans Seede and by the way of suffering of the Womans Seed mixt together so that each of them worketh in other and suffereth in other there is engendred Embreon And further it is to bee noted that this Sperme that commeth both to man and woman is made and gathered of the most best and purest drops of Blood in all the body and by the labour and chafing of the Testikles or Stones this Blood is turned into another kind and is made Sperme And in man it is hot white and thicke wherefore it may not spread nor runne abroad of it selfe but runneth and taketh temperance of the Womans sperme which hath contrary qualities For the womans sperme is thinner colder and feebler And as some Authors hold opinion when this matter is gathered into the right side of the Matrix then it happeneth a Male-kind and likewise on the left the Female and where the vertue is most there it favoureth most And further it is to bee noted that like as the Renet of the Cheese hath by himselfe the way or vertue of working so hath the Milke by way of suffering and as the Renet and milke make the Cheese so doth the sperme of Man and Woman make the generation of Embreon of the which thing springeth by the vertue of kindly heate a certaine Skin or Caule into the which it lappeth it selfe in wherewith afterwards it is tyed to the Mothers wombe the which covering commeth forth with the byrth of the Childe and if it happen that any of the Skinne remaine after the byrth of the Child then is the Woman in perill of her life Furthermore it is said that of this Embreon is ingendred the Heart the Liver the Braynes Nerves Veynes Arteirs Chords Lygaments Skins Gristles and Bones receiving to them by kindly vertue the menstruall blood of which is engendred both flesh and fatnesse And as Writers say the first thing that is shapen be the principals as is the Heart Liver and Braine For of the Heart springeth the Artiers of the Liver the Veines and of the Brain the Nerves and when these are made Nature maketh and shapeth both Bones and Gristles to keepe and save them as the bones of the head for the Brain the Breast Bones and the Ribbes for the Heart and the Liver And after these springeth all other members one after another and thus is the Child bred forth in foure degrees as thus The first is when the said Sperme or Seed is at the first as it were Milke The second is when it is turned from that kind into another kind is yet but as a lumpe of Blood and this is called of Hypocrates Fettus The third degree is when the principals be shapen as the Heart Liver and Braine The fourth and last as when all the other members bee perfectly shapen then it receiveth the Soule with Life and Breath and then it beginneth to move it selfe alone Now in these foure degrees aforesaid in the first as Milke it continueth seven dayes in the second as Fettus nine dayes in the third as a lumpe of Flesh engendring the principals the space of nine dayes and in the fourth unto the time of full perfection of all the whole members is the space of eighteene dayes So is there fixe and forty dayes from the day of Conception unto the day of full perfection and receiving of the Soule as God best knoweth Now to come againe to the Anatomy of the Haunches Then come wee to Longaon otherwise called the Taile-gut whose substance is Pannicular as of all the other Bowels the length of it is of a span long stretching nigh to the Reynes his nether part is called Annis that is to say the Towell and about him is found two Muscles the one to open the other to shut Also there is found in him five Veâ—nes or Branches of Veynes called Venae Emoraidales and they have Colliganes with the Bladder whereof they are partners in their grieves And when this Longaon is raised up then ye may see the Veynes and Artiers and Sinewes how they bee branched and bound down to the nether parts the parts proceeding outwardly are Didimus Peritoneum the Yard the Testikles and Buttocks And first it shall be spoken of the Yard or of mans generative members the which dureth unto that part that is called Peritoneum the which place is from the Coddes unto the Fundament whereupon is a seame Wherefore saith the Philosopher mans Yard is
Falling sicknesse For Remedy if the Disease be of salt Flegme give things sweet hot and dry thus saith Soramis And thus much for Remedies against the distemperance of each humour Notwithstanding where there is abundance of cold Flegme not mixt with Choller there things very sharpe and hot bee most convenient as tart Vineger with hot Roses and seeds or Wines strong and rough Honey being boyled in the one and in the other Or where Choller is mixt with Flegme sirrop made with Vineger and Suger boyled sometimes with Seeds Herbes and Rootes which may dissolve Flegme and digest it is very good Certaine Observations for Women WHen Womens brests diminish being with Child is a token the child is dead If a woman with Child bee sodainly taken with any grievous sicknesse her life is in great danger If a woman with Child be let Blood it killeth the child the nearer the birth the greater is the danger It is perilous for a Woman with Child to have a great Lax or loosenesse A woman having a Convultion in temperate times of her termes is perilous The Câ—alx of Egge-shels ministred in broth asswageth the paine and griping in a woman after her deliverance of child OF URINES A briefe Treatise of Urines aswell of Mans urine as of Womans to judge by the Colour which betokeneth Health and which betokeneth Weaknesse and also Death PART III. Of Bubbles resident in Vrine IT is shewed that in the fore-parts of the Body dwelleth Sicknesse and Health That is in the Wombe in the Head in the Liver and in the Bladder in what manner thou maist know their properties and thereof mayest learne to judge the better When Bubbles doe swim on the top of Urine they proceed of windy matter included in viscous humidity and signifie rawnesse and

the Urinall signifieth the body to be repleat with evill humours Bubbles doth also signifie the Stone in the Reynes of the Backe A Circle which is greene of colour of Urine doth signifie wavering in the Head and burning in the stomacke This colour in a Feaver doth signifie paine in the Head comming of Choller And if it continue it will cause an Impostume the which will ingender the Frenziâ— A blacke circle in Urine signifieth Mortification If any filthy matter doe appeare in the Urine it commeth from the Lungs and sometimes from the Liver and it may come from breaking of some Impostume but for the most part it commeth from the Vlcers of the Bladder or the Reynes or from the passages of the Urine then the urine is troubled in the bottome and stinketh he hath a paine in his lower parts and especially in the parts aforesaid when he maketh water and chiefly in the end of the yard and commonly there is with this the Strangurie which is hardly to be cured unlesse it be in the beginning If it come from the Reynes there is paine in the Loynes the Backe and the Flanke If from the Liver the paine is onely in the right side If in the Lungs the paine is from the Brest with a cough and the breath stinketh If from the Bladder the paine is about the share If a mans urine be white at morning and red before meate and white after meate he is whole and if it be fat and thicke it is not good

evill in the Body and namely in the bladder Urine that falleth by drops above as it were great boules betokeneth great sicknesse and long If white gravell doth issue forth with Vrine it doth signifie that the Patient hath or shall have the Stone ingendred in the Bladder and there is paine about those parts If the gravell be red the Stone is ingendred in the Reynes of the Backe and Kidneyes and there is great paine in the small of the Backe If the gravell be blacke it is ingendred of a Melancholly humour Note that if the gravell goe away and the Patient find no ease it sheweth that the Stone is confirmed Also know yee that if the gravell goe away and the paine goe away likewise it signifieth that the Stone is broken and voydeth away Womens Vrine that is cleare and shyning in the Vrinall

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 Joynts that be grisly might the easier be foulded and moved 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 sound The fifth is for that it is needfull that some members be holden up with a Gristle as the lids of the Eyes The sixt is that some Limbes have 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 hee is flexible and insensible is this If it had beene sensible he might not have suffered the labour and moving of the joynts and if it had not beene flexible of his bowing one Limme should not have moved without another The second profit is that he be joyned with sinewes for to make Cordes and Brawnes 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 Matrix and Kidneys and divers other c. The Sinew is a consimilier member simple and spermatick a meane betweene 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 Nerves sensative and from Mynuca commeth thirty paire of Nerves motive and one that is by himselfe that springeth of the last spondell All these sinewes have both feeling and moving in some more and in some lesse c. A Corde or Tendon is a consimple or officiall member compound and spermaticke sinewie strong and tough meanely betweene 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 move the members is intermingled with the Lygaments and when the sinewes and Lygaments are intermingled together then is made a Corde And for three causes J perceive why the Cordes were made The first is that the Sinew alone is so sensible that hee 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 feeling and bringeth him to a perfit temperance And so the Cordes move the limbes to the will of the soule And this Corde is associated with a simple flesh 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 threeds the which be called Will and this Will hath three 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 threeds be gathered together to make another Muskle c. Now J will begin at the Arteir This Arteir is a member consimile â—imple and spermaticke hollow and sinowie 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 have 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 veyne and is more obedient to be delated abroad through all the Lungs because that the blood might the sooner sweat through him whereas all other Arteirs have 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 Liver nutritiue blood to nourish every member of the body with And it is so to be understood that there is no more difference betweene 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 Vena celis of whom it is too much to treat of now untill 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 heat and is in complexion hot and moyst Of the which is noted three kinds of Fleshes that is to say one is soft and pure flesh the second is Musculus or hard and brawny flesh the third is Glandulus knotty or kurnelly flesh Also the commodities of the flesh be indifferent or â—ome be common to every kinde of flesh and some be proper to one manner of flesh alone The profits of the flesh be many for some defend the body from cold as doth cloathes also it defendeth the body from hard things comming against it so through his moysture he rectifyeth the Body in Summer in time of great heate Wherefore it is to be considered what profitablenesse is in every kind of flesh by himselfe And first of simple and pure flesh which fulfilleth the concavities of voyd places and causeth good forme and shape and this flesh is found betweene the teeth and on the end of the yard The profits of the Brawny flesh or Musculus flesh shall be spoken of in the Anatomy of the Armes The profits of the Glandulus flesh are these First that it turneth the blood into a colour like to himselfe as doth the flesh of a womans pappes turne the menstruall Blood into milke Secondly the Glandulus flesh of the Testikles turneth the blood into Sparme Thirdly the Glandulus flesh of the cheekes that engendreth the spettle c. The next is of Fatnesse of the which J find three kinds The first is Pinguedo and it is a consimiler member not spermaticke and it is made of a subtill portion of Blood congealed by colde and it is of complexion cold and moyst insensible and is intermingled amongst the parts of the flesh The second is Adeppes and is of
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 members but it is an officiall member made of thin Blood congealed and cruded through cold and there is ordained the greater quantity in his place because it should receive and temper the heat of the Kidneyes which they have of the byting sharpnesse of the water Now by the Kidneyes upon the Spondels passeth Venakelis or Venacua which is a Veyne of great substance for hee receiveth all the Nutrimentall blood from the Liver and from him passeth many small Pipes on every side and at the Spondell betweene the shoulders hee divideth himselfe whole in two great branches the one goeth into the one arme and the other into the other and there they devide 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 Thighes and the secret members And three 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 proceeding outwards The parts containing outwardly be Myrac and Syfac the Zirbus and the bones The part contained outwardly are the Vezike or Bladder the Spermaticke vessels the Matrix in women Longaon Nerves Veynes and Artiers descending downewards The parts proceeding outwards are the Buttocks and the Muscles descending to the Thighes of which it is to bee 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 bee in the parts of the back three Spondels of Ossa sacri or of the Hanches and three Cartaliginis 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 five 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 self giveth to the Nerves both the vertue of Moving and Feeling And also every Spondell is holden on every side through the which holes both Artiers 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 back through the holes of the sides of the Spondels springeth forth Nerves motives and there they intermingle themselves with the strong Lygaments that be insensible and so the Lygaments receive that feeling of the Nerves which the Nerves taketh of Mynuca And by this reason many Authors prove 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 bee bound fall one with another so that one of them may not well bee 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 laâ—t Spondell be contained or joyned to the Bones of the Haunches and they be the upholders of all the Spondels And these Bones bee small towards the Taile-bone and broad towards the Hanches and before they joyne and make Os Pectinis And so they bee broad in the parts of the Jles and therefore some Authors calleth it Ylea 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 above Musculus Veynes and Artiers and goe into the Thighes And thus it is to bee 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 with-hold 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 Vulva The place of the Bladder is betweene the bone of the Share and the Tayle-gut called Longaon and in women it is betweene the aforesaid bone and the Matrix And in it is implanted two long vessels comming from the Kidneyes whoâ—e names be Porri Vrikcides bringing with them the Urine or water from the Kidneys to the Bladder which privily entreth into the holes of the Pannicles of the Bladder by a naturall moving betweene Tunicle and Tunicle and there the Urine findeth the hole of the nether Tunicle and there it entreth privily into the concavity of the bladder and the more that the Bladder is filled with Urine the straiter bee the two Pannicles comprised together for the holes of the Tunicles be not even one against another and therefore if the bladder be never so full there may none goe backe againe The forme of it is round the quantity of it is a Pitcher full in some more in some lesse c. Also there is found two other vessels called Vaza Seminaria or the Spermaticke Vessels And they come from Venakelis bringing blood to the Testikles as well in Man as in Woman the which by his further digestion it is made sperme or nature in men they be put outward for the Testikles be without but in women it abideth within for their Testikles stand within as it shall be declared hereafter Next followeth the Matrix in women the Matrix in women is an officiall member compound and Nerveous and in complexion cold and dry and it is the field of mans generation and it is an instrument susceptive that is to say a thing receiving or taking and her proper place is betweene the Bladder and the Gut Longaon the likenesse of it is as it were a yard reversed and turned inward having Testikles likewise as aforesaid Also the Matrix hath two Concavities or Selles and no more but all Beasts have as many Selles as they have Pappes-heads Also it hath a long Necke like an Urinall and in every Necke it hath a mouth that is to say one within and another without The inner in the time of conception is shut and the outer part is open as it was before and it hath in the middest a Lazartus Pannicle which is called in Latine Tengitâ— And in the creation of this Pannicle is found two utilities The
