The Whores-Pocks Also they are subject on their inner side to Warts Pushes termed Thymi resembling the Color of Flowers of Time and certain smal Tumors called Condylomata resembling the Joynts of a Mans Fingers Of the Nymphs The Nymphoe in somè Women yea and in some nations do grow to such a filthy greatness that they hang without the Lips and then they must be cut They are made ruff with Pustles or Pushes but more often defiled and made ugly with the foresaid Thymi Warts and Vlcers springing from the Whoremasters Pocks Of the Clitoris The Clitoris is somtimes exceeding long resembling a Mans Yard it is then termed Cercosis Caudatio the Long-Taile Disease so that some Women do abuse that Part one with another when it is longer and thicker than ordinary Such are those which are termed Hermaphrodites or Rubsters for it was never known neither is it possible that a Woman should be turned or transformed into a Man But a Man being at his Birth reputed for a Woman as aforesaid by the coming forth of his Genital Parts may be turned into a Man that is to say be acknowledged for such Somtimes within the Sheath there hangs a fleshy Excrescence which reaches Of the Sheath as far as the Lips and farther very deformed and troublesome and somwhat like a Mans Yard It is rooted near the inner Orifice of the Womb or it rises from the sides of the sheath far within It must be cut up by the Roots or else it wil grow again being a great trouble to marryed Women because it hinders the entrance of a Mans Yard in the carnal Embracement Near the Caruncles or Carnosities before mentioned there appeares within a Of the Caruncles Vein two or three which are pretty ful and drop Blood out like the Haemorrhoides and are somtimes exulcerated and may degenerate into Malignant Ulcers unless they be wel looked to Within the Sheath in the upper Part in the very Orifice of the Womb a Malignant An Vlcer Scirrhous Tumor is bred which at last degenerates into a Cancerous Ulcer A sad and miserable Disease if it arise through fault of the Womb and other Parts of the Body If the said Ulcer proceed from the Whoremasters-Pocks as oftentimes it fals out it is curable provided the foresaid Orifice be not wholly eaten up and that the Ulcer have not crept into the inner Parts of the Womb. That may be perceived not only by the Instrument called Speculum Matricis with which we look into the Womb but also by putting up of a bodies Finger Chap. 37.

B B. â–¡ Womb in Virgins and in those which have never conceived Cavity is so smal as to contain only a pease or a very little bean In such as have born Children it is larger The Action of the womb is conception or attracting the Seed and reducing the Action same into Act by causing the same to ferment and proceed to formation And although this be that for which the Womb was ordained yet it is by accident the Sluce or Outlet of Superfluous Humors in the Body which do either continually flow unto this place as in the Whites or at certain seasons as the Menstruous Blood which being more than the woman needs for her Nourishment is ordained to nourish the Child in the womb and when it is born it drops out of the Dugs in the form of Milk The Medicinal Consideration By out knowledg of the Natural Constitution of the Genital Parts of women Disorders of the. we come more certainly to understand their departure from the said natural Constitution by several sorts of Infirmities The Spermatick Vessels are liable to obstructions whereby the usual Flux of Spermatick Vessels Stones Humors is stopped which is very hurtful to women They swel together with the Stones and become as big as a mans Fist by a collection of Humors resembling Tallow or suet This is known by a swelling in the bottom of the Belly at the sides The Trumpet or Horn of the Womb is widened and moved by Seed which being Trumpet there corrupted seekes its passage out But wonderful it is that the mans Seed should come thither and that as Histories report a Child should be conceived there 'T is very strang that a Child should be formed out of the Cavity of the womb and it favours the Opinion of Paracelsus and Amatus Lusitanus that a Child may be made in a Glass of a Mans Seed and menstrual blood placed in Horses Dung unless both of them the one being an Athiest the other a Jew were known to be Impostors The womb is the Root Seed plot and foundation of very near al womens Diseases Womb it self being either bred in the womb or occasioned thereby It it be troubled with an hot distemper and inflamed it causes intollerable burnings Distemper the Feaver Synochos and the burning Feaver very troublesome Itchings and finally it brings exulcerations the Cancer and Gangraena If it be stung with servent Lust it becomes enraged causes Uterine fury and Madness wil not let the Patients rest but invites them to shake and agitate their Loins that they may be disburthened of their Seed and at last they become shameles and ask men to lie with them Somtime it is drawn out of its place towards the sides and is carryed this way and Motion depraved that way as far as the Ligaments and Connexions of the Womb wil give leave and it wil rise directly to the Liver Stomach and Midrif that it may be moistened and fanned it Causes Choaking and Stranglings and raises terrible and violent motions and Convulsions in the Body
In a word the Womb is a furious Live-wight in a Live-wight punnishing Poor women with many Sorrows Although Hippocrates hath written and Fernelius confirmd the same that the womb like a Globe does rowle it self in the Cavity of the Belly yet are they rather the Horns of the womb which are receptacles of Seed Spirituous and hot or putrified which being swelled do move themselves this way that way til they have shed their Seed into the Cavity of the Belly which Seed being dispersed brings very cruel pains and stretches the Belly until the force of the Spirits be Evaporated hence comes that same swelling of the Belly and stifling about the Midrif Somtimes malignant Vapors ascending from the Womb by the Veins a T. 7. f. 2. V V X X. â–¡ and Arteries Suffocation unto the Lungs and Kernels of the Throat may cause choaking and stifling and the malignant vapor of the Seed being so pernicious is violently darted into the Brain and al parts of the Body from the VVomb as from a Beast that spits poyson The VVomb is but little when empty but when it is silled with evil Humors it swels above measure and it has been seen to equal the Head of a new-born Child Cancerous Scirrhus which is an incurable Infirmity because it is a Cancerous Scirrhus which is the worse for being tampered with by Medicines Somtimes the Orifice of the Womb being closed and firmly sealed up Water Dropsie flows out of the Belly into the Cavity thereof and coming to a quantity it brings the Dropsie of the Womb. Somtimes evil Humors are collected there and by the force of Nature do afterwards break forth This often happens to Virgins and others from the suppression of their Courses the internal Orifice being stopped as I said before The Womb is watered with a two-fold Humor Seed and Menstrual Blood the Whether seed suppressed hurteth women suppression of both which does many waies afflict Woman-kind and the evacuation thereof does them much good in many respects Howbeit we do not read in Hippocrates any where that the retention of their Seed is hurtful unto Women he writes indeed that the Womb being dry does ascend to the superior parts to receive moisture which Galen laughs at and that it desires to receive the Mans Seed to moisten it self and that therefore marriagable Virgins that are troubled with fits of the Mother should be married and have the carnal society of Men. And therefore he makes the retention or over-great flux of the Courses the only general cause of Womens Diseases and saies that Women cannot be in Health unless they play the Women that is void their Menstrual Blood In case therefore that a What must be observed in letting blood to move the courses Woman or a Virgin have her Courses stopt whether or no may we hope by blood-letting three or four times repeated from the Arm or Foot to draw the blood unto the Womb I remember the Story of a Woman in a Consumption because of the stoppage of her Courses from whom Galen drew blood in a large quantity That we may know to resolve this Question three things are to be noted The Matter the Place and the Expulsive Faculty The Matter is Blood which remains 1 The sufficiency of matter over and above what was necessary to nourish a woman for a months time which was ordained to conceive Child and to nourish it being born wherefore we must consider whether the woman abound with blood so that she has what to spare and void forth for if she want blood by reason of some fore-going disease or because she eats little we are not to expect that she should have her Courses The place through which it ought to flow is the womb with the Hypogastrick 2 Fitness of the place and Spermatick Veins for these Vessels do contain the superfluous blood until the due time appointed for this Purgation and they send it forth either by the Cavity of the womb or by the Spermatick Vessels into the neck thereof But if so be the Womb shal be dry or hard and the Spermatick Vessels and Veins obstructed we cannot hope to procure the Courses to flow by often blood-letting And the Expulsive Faculty is not seated in the Genital Parts which receive this blood 3 Strength of the faculty but depends upon the general strength of Nature which thrusts this superfluous blood out of doors These three things ought therefore to concur that a woman may have her Courses Matter Place and the Expulsive Faculty and Medicaments ought to have a Medicaments other means to accomplish the Cure respect thereunto A Vein is to be opened in the Foot rather than in the Arm Cupping-glasses must be applied without Scarrification to the inner part of the Thighs above the Vessels Convenient Purges must be given with Apozemes that move Urine attenuate and open the mouths of the Veins Pils of Steel Mirrh and Aloes must somtimes be given and Baths made to sit in or a Vaporary must be used somtimes of blood-warm Water alone and somtimes boyled with Hysterical and opening Herbs the steam whereof the Patient must receive into her Womb. Also Fomentations must be applied to the Os Sacrum and the lower part of the Belly and good Diet appointed not heating but attenuating and opening The Action of the Womb is Conception if it be abolished the Patient is barren Symptoms in the Actions hurt Sterilitie Which barrenness depends either upon the distemper of the womb or upon the il shape thereof or the hardness of the inner Orifice or the distortion thereof or from fault of the Stones and Spermatick Vessels in which somwhat is wanting either in point of structure or of matter and if a woman be sickly she cannot make good Seed fitting to cause a Conception til she recover the soundness of her health and til the faults of her womb if not incurable shal be amended But forasmuch as the Womb is ordained not only for Conception but to evacuate Suppression of blood or seed the Superfluicy of Natural Humors in the Body such as are superfluous Seed and Menstrual blood if they be totally or in part suppressed the woman cannot be in Health nor if they flow too much Hence comes the Gonorrhoea Over-great flux thereof simplex simple running of the Reins or the Feminine Flux either of blood or Humoral when only Humors come away which last if it be malignant and the Humor be sharp exulcerating and of evil color it is dangerous and comes somtimes from an outward venemous and contagious cause and therfore women ought discreetly to be questioned touching that matter that they may be brought to acknowledg their Disease and not deceive the Physitian under a pretence that they have the ordinary whites to their own hurt unless they acknowledg themselves faulty or lay it upon their Husbands whom it is better to accuse if they be
by their inbred virtue Their Action implanted in them to that end wherefore they receive the seminal matter and when it is sufficiently prepared that is to say when it is impregnated with the Generative Spirit they transmit the same into the Jaculatory Vessels and the Jaculatory Vessels carry it into the Seminary Bladders e f. 2.

Form of the Head be considered The Head ought to be round and not Copped unless the Neck be very thick a great Head is preferred before a little one from the Head ought the Nature of the Nerves Veins Flesh and Humors to be collected A great Head requires a great Neck which gives indication of a great breast by reason of the Parts contained in the Neck a great breast makes a large belly and therefore the proportion of the rest of the Cavities depends upon the Head The Chest ought to be large of an Oval Figure and the Back-bone straight the Breast breast ought to be somwhat convex not sharp nor flat nor depressed The Papps of Men ought to be depressed but in Women swelling round and Glandulous rather than Fatty or Fleshy because they are the Emunctories of the breast if the Woman give not Suck If the Duggs be smal the Women are sickly and if the Nipples look pale the Womb is Diseased according to Hippocrates Whether are large breasts to be chosen in Nurses or such as are mean in bigness What Breasts are to be chosen in Nurses Great breasts please not Moschio because they are Fat neither have they plenty of Milk and therefore Fat Nurses are not to be preferred before such as are Lean and Juicy neither such as are tal before such as are of a mean Stature Aristotle Lib. 3. de hist animal White colored Women because they are Flegmatick have but bad Milk From the breast we pass to the belly which ought to be round and sticking out Belly Women that have such bellies the Poets praise and say Venus had such a one Hipp. Lib. de veâ— Med. Notes that long and round bellies ought to be considered of Physitians because by looking upon them 't is easie to know which are fit for strong Purgations for such whose Parts in the Abdomen are strong and wel disposed may easily Purge but such as are slender take strong Medicines with danger Very Fat Women are hard to conceive with Child Hippoc. Aph. 4. Lib. 5. As for what belongs to the Privities Heliogabalus chose such for Soldiers as Privities had large Privities because he thought they were lusty stout Men. A very long yard is not fit for Venery either because the strength of the Seed passeth out by reason of the length of the Yard if you wil beleeve Galen or because the Muscles are tyred by erecting a great and long Yard A mean Yard is most fruitful and Limbs gives most longest pleasure in the act of Copulation A long Yard though indeed it fil the Neck of the Womb yet it makes it not so fruitful and is hurtful to such Women as are subject to the fits of the Mother by stretching the Genitals Neither are the Testicles when they are great and Pendulous to be commended We pass to the Limbs viz. The Hands and Feet which ought to be equal in proportion to the rest of the Body The Longitude of the Foot from the Os Pubis to the extremity of the Heel ought to be equal to that of the Hand from the Ala to the top of the middle Finger If the whol body be six Foot long the Foot is three both Hands and Feet are somwhat fleshy in strong bodies for although slenderness of Legs be commended in Horses 't is not so in Men.

The Division of Mans Body BEfore we expose the whol Body of Man to Anatomical dissection it ought to be divided into its Parts or principal regions that the Number and order of the regions and where they begin may be known A mongst the various divisions of the Body of Man this in my mind seems the Division of the Body best and to be preferred before the rest The body is divided into the Trunk and the Limbs The Trunk is divided into three Principal Regions the Head Breast and Belly The Head obtains the Superior place The Breast the middle and the Belly the lowermost The Members or Limbs are four branches sticking out from the Body two Arms and two Legs What are the bands of these Regions I shal shew when I come to speak of each Region apart The Medicinal Consideration I wil not stand here in rehearsing designing the external Parts of the whol body which are expounded in every Region of the same but only consider the corporature or fleshy habit which is covered with the Skin like a Garment which though it look for the most part beautifully without it looks ill favoredly within This habit of the whol body makes the third Region of the body to which the Humors come from the deepest Parts the ill effects of which are cleerly seen in the Diseases and Symptomes which appear outwardly The juyce which is seen in the leaf and branch comes from the Root I shal reckon up the cheife Diseases which use to infest the outward habit of the body Viz. Immoderate Fatness or Leanness Defluxions Gouts Dropsy Cachexia the whores Pocks Plenty or defect of Sweat by reason of the openness or closeness of the pores Palsie Convulsion Unquietness and weariness and al kind of swellings The Flesh of man because it s Nourished by purer Blood is delicater than the flesh of other Creatures and prefered before it by Canibals or Man-Eaters Flesh seeing it is Porous and Musculous it hath empty spaces which in men in health are filled with spirit and blood but in such as are sick with Water and wind thence come Defluxions over the whol body and other Diseases of the Skin The Habit of the whol body

Colon transversly seated and in the whol compass of that Region is the Gut called Jejunum disposed Toward the Back-bone are the Kidneies The beginning Jejunum of the Colon being bowed back from the right Kidney under the Liver and Stomach to the Spleen afterwards passeth obliquely to the left Kidney and Kidneies therefore the pains of the Colick must diligently be distinguished from those of the stone In the middle and side-Region of the Hypogastrick in the Gut called Ilium concontained Ilium Bladder Right Gut In the bottom of the belly the bladder under which lies the right Gut In Women the Womb lies betwen the bladder and the right Gut under the VVomb Guts lies the Mesenterium as the Sweat-bread doth under the Stomach A little below the Navel the Omentum is stretched about al the Guts and divides all the internal parts with the Peritonaeum from the external those that lie deep from those that lie at top The Medicinal Consideration In the Belly are frequently al sortsof Tumors Impostumes Rumblings of the Diseases of the Abdomen Guts and Croaking which proceed either from Tumors of the Parts conteined or from wind or collection of Water It is Cut on the sides towards the Hypogastrium in the Caesarian dissection to draw out the Child in a difficult labor It is pricked neer the Os Pubis to draw out Vrine when a Catheter cannot be put in It is pierced in the bottom of the Hypogastrium neer the Navel to draw out Water in the Dropsie Ascites which Operation is called Paracentesis Chap. 5. Of the Scarfe Skin AMongst the parts which make the Abdomen the first that comes to view the Greeks cal Epidermis the Latins Cuticula and we the Scarf-Skin Although by its substance it seems to be Spermatical yet it differs much Substance from it It 's Temperature is none at al and therefore no more words about it but for its Original original it is framed of the Excrementitious and Viscous Vapors of the Skin which Sweating out grow dry by the coldness of the Air and like a thin Skin compasseth the Skin round and therefore it sticks to the Skin firmly and universally and hath no other bounds then the Skin hath And although to the sight its substance appeares simple yet Fabricius ab Aquae pendente wil have it double one which is inseperably fixed to the pores of the Skin the other seperable without any offence to the Skin it self but the thickness of the Cuticula be it more or less doth not encrease it's number for though in some places it may be divided into many smal Skins yet in no place can one be pulled off without another It hath no Proper figure besides what it borrows from the Skin it self from which Figure it differs in this that it is no way porous It is thought to partake alwaies of the same color with the Skin and yet in Black Color Mores this being pulled of the Skin it self is white It sticks firmely to the true Skin and is an Excrementitious part as the Hairs Connexion are and hath no communion with the principal parts by Veins Arteries nor Nerves because it wants them and is insensible as you may find if you please to scrape it off from your hands or any parts or thrust a Pin or Needle under it It hath no action only use which is to shut the pores of the Skin to make it â—se smooth and bewtiful polished and even The Medicinal Consideration By these things thus considered a Physitian may see that the scarse Skin hath also its Diseases though Hippocrates thought them to be only deformities He makes a distinction whether they may be called Impostumes or diseases at the end of Lib. 2. Prorrheticorum because such as belong to the Scarfe-skin pertain most of al to the dignotion and Cure of Affects It is infected with divers Spots both natural and sickly natural are those many deformities of the Skin Sickly are the Meazles smal Pocks purple spots in Feavers or any Spots of other Color somtimes without a Feaver when Nature sends any Wheyish substance of another Color into the Scarf-Skin Diseased spots of the Scarf-Skin may and ought to be cured but such as are Original from the birth are very difficultly taken away because they stick firmely to the Skin as wel as to the Scarf-Skin This Scarf-Skin may be beautified which Galen denies to be done by an honest It may be Beautified and honorable Physitian but allowes it to be done by Court Physitians and Bauds and Chamber-Maids that wait upon their Ladies In Women the Cuticula is thick smooth and many time stops the pores of the Skin and hinders free perspiration In men it 's usually ful of pores that so the Hairs may pass out Lastly as the Scarf-Skin of the Body being wel looked after and adorned procures beauty and and comliness to the Body so being made rough with Spots or burnt by the Sun it unhandsoms a man It is ridiculous to draw it off with blisters that so it may come again
Seminal Vessels in its duobling The inequallity of the substance of it is observed in Women to be thickest from the Navel to the Pubis that in the conception it may be stretched as the Womb is But in men it is thickest from the Navel to the Sword-like Cartilage that in Gluttons it may stretch when their paunch is ful It takes its original from the first formation unless as some think it take its original Original from the Dura Mater which as they produce the Pleura so the Pleura should the Peritoneum and so their should be a continuation of these Membranes throughout the Body as their is of the Skin It s Scituation is immediatly after the Muscles and compasseth about all the Bowels Scituation of the Abdomen It is the largest Membrane in the whol Body and most capacious and answers to Quantity the inferior Ventricle both in Longitude and Latitude It is double every where because it consists of two Membranes of which â—â—â— internal is the shortest not so much because it bestows a Membrans upon every Part of the Belly and produceth the Mesenterium but bâ—cause it doth 〈…〉 accompany the external to the Testicles but ends in the Caviâ—â—â—â— oâ— the Abdomen The external passeth even to the Cods and wraps the Testicles round and â—â—â—kes that tunicle called Erythrois and in its progress makes a smal Channel by when the Spermatick Vessels pass The same production of the external tunicle is observed in the groin of Women and is diduced even to the c T. 7. f. 4.

C C. E E. â–¡ The Medicinal Consideration Let us now bring this contemplation of the Peritoneum to a Physicaluse By reason of its doubling you shall perceive Serosus and sharp Cholerick Humors â—o to get into those spaces which make a bastard Collick but have no foundation at al within the Guts as a true Collick hath but between the Peritoneum and the Guts whence the Disease is bitter and usually lasting of which see Fernelius in his Pathology Somtimes other Humors flowing from the Liver or from the Reins get within Collick this Duplication towards the Navel or groyn or Os Sacrum and there impostumate unless they were turned into Quittor before they fel into this Part. Such Collical pains lie usually on the top of the Belly and not deep neither wil they suffer the Belly to be handled never so gently Somtimes they come up even to the Diaphragma by reason of the continuation of the Peritoneum and then the danger is the greater Somtimes by reason of those Productions of the Peritoneum which reach the Ruptures Stones Serosus Humors pass down to the Cods and make a watry Rupture You must diligently observe the production of the Peritoneum by the groyn which being dilated for it is seldom broken receiveth the Gut Ilium or the Call whence is bred that swelling in the Groine called Entero-Cele or that called Epiplo-Cele or when both the Gut and the Call do fal down that other called Entero-Epiplo-Cele Cha. 14.

conceives he has so sufficiently establshed his Opinion that no wise man can contradict him Shal I venter my Opinion among so many learned Champions I conceive that the Spleen does attract slimy Blood to nourish it self and that The Authors Opinion it sheds a special kind of fermentative Serosity through the Splenick Arteries into the Stomach and because its Parenchyma or substance is of a Spongy and soaking Nature it does by the Veins attract and suck out the superfluous humidity of the Stomach that the Coction may be the better Howbeit I deny not but that it may by Accident supply the Office of the Liver when the same hath lost its faculty of Sanguification but Blood cannot be made so good and perfect in the Spleen as in the Liver seeing it is but a bastard Liver and consequently makes but bastard Blood and impure because not Clarified Hofman makes himself Ridiculous while he eagerly contends in a little Book Hofmans Opinion of the Spleens Sanguification examied which he has put forth and up and down in his other writings that the muddy part of the Chylus is carried by the Mesaraick Arteries unto the Spleen where it is turned into Blood with which the neighbouring Parts are nourished and that the Excrements of this Blood are voided by Urins Stool and Sweat That good Old Man is to learn that the thicker Parts of the Chyle are not sucked out but separated and sent away into the greater Guts and that the Mesaraick Arteries cannot do as he saies because they containe Arterial Blood neither do they reach any of them to the Spleen because it has a peculiar Artery which Arantius first described and which I my self have often shown Again he ought to have rejected the Milky Veins of Asellius which he allowes of seeing none of them reach unto the Spleen Furthermore that same bastard and impure Blood bred of muddy Blood by a bastard Liver wil be unfit to nourish the neighbouring Parts which serve for Coction though they appear filthy for they need to be nourished with pure Blood for their preservation The Cholerick Melancholick and Wheyish Excrements of the said Blood cannot be Purged away but by Veins and Arteries the Arterics are allready taken up with carrying the muddy Parts of the Chyle They must therefore of necessity be carried by the Splenick Vein into the liver that they may be voided through the Guts or by the Kidnies which would breed very great confusion in the Liver If Hofman had considered that the substance of the Spleen is unlike the substance of the Liver its bigness different its number uncertain Color divers Scituation variable because somtimes it sinkes down to the Hypogastrium more often ascends towards the Midrif somtimes descends upon the left Kidney the Ligaments being slackned and lastly its shape quite contrary to that of the Liver and somtimes there is no Spleen at all also that the structure of the Vessels of the Spleen is altogether unlike that of the Vessels of the Liver he would never have so stifly affirmed that that the Spleen made a peculiar kind of Blood out of the Chylus Nature does in none of the Bowels more sport her self than in her shaping of the Spleen so variously and unconstantly But the Structure of those Bowels which are necessary to the maintenance of life is allwaies one and the same and uniform Furthermore you may know that the substance of the Liver spleen are unlike by boyling the one and the other for the substance of the Liver is firme sollid and Reddish that of the Spleen is Spungy soft and black and blue in Color The substance of the Liver of Animals boiled as of an Ox a Sheep a Goat is eaten with content the substance of the Spleen is not Mans meat neither will other Creatures eat it unless they be very hungry But if the Office of the Spleen and Liver were the same in Brute as wel as in Men they should have both alike substance and breed the same blood Where will you find a place to clense away Choler in the Spleen as their is in the Liver If the Spleen draw the more thick Part of the Chyle it ought to have larger Veins but they are exceeding smal like unto threds Wherefore Hofman does foolishly to enquire the Dioti or Cause why it is so before he knows the Hoti that it is so which ought to go before and be diligently enquired into when the natural Action of Parts is sought after because the natural Constitution is Compounded and accommodated thereunto What cannot an ingenious Wit imagine But al such speculations are ridiculous and void unless they are approved by the Eye and confirmed by diligent Section and Inspection of Bodies See Aristotle in the third book of his Politicks at the beginning of the 8. Chapter who wil there instruct thee If Hofman had known out of Aristotle that such living Creatures as drink have a Spleen Reins and Bladder he had more truly expounded that passage of Aristotle out of Hippocrates of the true sence whereof he glories The Spleen drawes out of the Belly superfluous humidities it self being constituted of blood The Medicinal Consideration The Substance of the Spleen is liable to alkinds of Distemper and to divers Diseases of the Spleen in Substance swellings especially that kind of hard swelling which is termed Scirrhus Somtimes it is inflamed and then the substance thereof is perceived to pant by reason of the Multitude of Arteries of which it is ful It seldom impostumates It s Coat does oftentimes grow thick and becomes Cartilaginous It often grows great by abundance of Humors and grows â—â—al again somtime Magnitude of it self and somtime by use of Medicines It is better that the Spleen be smal than great A double or triple Spleen is not good because it is a fault in the Conformation Number The Scituation of the Spleen is somtimes changed when its Ligaments being Scituation slackened its weight bears it downwards or they being broke it fals into the Hypogastrium or Parts beneath the Navel and then it deceiveth unskilful and heedless Physitians who in Women take it for a Mole or for a Scirrhus Tumor of the Womb and in Men for a sort of Glandulous Tumor which lies hid in the Mesentery In four patients it has been my hap to see the Spleen on this manner fallen down into the Belly Somtimes one or other of the Kidnies is seen to fal down in the same manner Difference of the Spleen and Kidney when fallen but it is easie to know the one from the other When the Kidney is fallen the swelling is round when the Spleen is fallen the Tumor is oblong and an emptiness is perceived on the left side under the short Ribbs And if the Tumor be movable as it is at first the Spleen or Kidney is easily reduced unto its Natural place The Câ—â—â— of both otherwise after the space of six
months it sticks so fast to the Peritoneum before to the bottom of the Bladder to the Guts and in Women to the Womb that it must of necessity putrifie in that place which it wil the sooner do if either you give the patient Emollient Medicines inwardly or apply them outwardly If you would prolong the patients life you must often let blood and beare up the Tumor with a truss or Swathe band What if the Spleen fal from its natural place shal we sear and burn it with a red hot Iron when it slips into the Belly shal we take that Course with it It is a ticklish and dangerous peice of work notwithstanding Old Farriers or Horse Doctors have written that the Spleen has been by that means consumed in Horses and in some poor slaves on whom they durst Experiment so cruel a Remedy Much more dangerous it is by opening the left Hypochondrium to take away the Spleen neither can its thick superfluous Humors be safely disolved by heating the same I should by such a practise sear a contusion after which an incurable suppuration of the whol substance would undoubtedly follow There is none of the Bowels which in Diseases does more change its shape Somtime Figure its long somtime foursquare somtimes round according as it finds room to dilate it self in when it rests upon the Stomach it does much hurt and disturbe the action thereof Communion and if it be fastened to the Midrif is oppresses the same or if it reach thither in its Bulk it hinders the free Motions thereof Upon the Spleen obstructed depend the Black Jaundice Hypochondriacal Melancholy Obstructed what Diseases it Causes the ill Colors of Virgins and other Women The Scurvy or Hippocrates his great Spleens out of which flowes a Malignant Wheyish Humor which being spread into divers Parts of the Body does in the Mouth cause Stomacace or Oscedo a sorenes with loosness of the Teeth c.

A. â–¡ Aorta springing out of the Heart but Ocular Inspection does demonstrate that the Trunk of Vena Cava is separated from the Liver which creepes beneath and that near the top of the Liver by the Midrif it receives a branch which grows out of the c f. 1. r r. â–¡ Substance of the Liver which carries blood into the Trunk of the Cava that it may be carryed unto the Heart with other blood which ascends by Circulation Wherefore that same Trunk of the Vena Cava is extended al along without Interruption from the d f. 1.

The Epigastrica is observed to be two-fould in Women the one ascends into the Musculus Rectus the other opposite thereunto descends as low as the Womb. In this Trunk of Vena Cava Fernelius after Galen placed the seat of continual Seat of Feavers continual and Iâ—…rmittent Feavers supposing the Blood rested quietly therein but seeing the blood is in perpetual motion I make the seat of continual feavers to be in the Trunk of the Vena Cava and in those great Pipes carryed along through the Limbs as the semâ—…ry â—f intermittent Feavers or Agues is in the Vena Porta or in the Bowells which are nourished thereby Seeing the Veins are the Vessels and Cisterts to contain the blood they have a thin coat saving that the Trunk of Vena Cava has a thicker and stronger coat Why Cava hâ—â— a thick Coat than ordinary to avoid breaking in case the blood should work or boyl therein which by means of the tenderness of the Coat can sweat and breath thorough T is a Question whether the Veins have Fibres or no some say yea and some Whether Veins have Fibres no. But seeing the Blood is thrust forward by the spirits and Hear it has a natural ascent unto the Heart and therefore it needs no Fibres to draw it and if any were necessary the right ones would suffice but the circular ones are interposed for strength and some threds are observed in the Coat of a Vein not to draw but to strengthen the Coat Wherefore the Contentions about the Fibres of Veins are but Vain Janglings neither are we in Blood-letting so carefully and scrupulouâ—ly to observe the rectitude of the Fibres as the Scituation of the Part affected Hippocrates in his Book de Morbo Sacro does Elegantly call the Veins Spiracula Why the Veins are called the Bodies Wind-Doers Corporis the Wind-doers or Breathing places of the Body because when they are opened a Fuliginous or sooty Spirit Issues
Candles otherwise it swels so as to shut up that passage and stop the Urine not without pain to the Patient To the Vrethra and Cods belongs that disposition which makes men termed Hermaphrodites when the Testicles are hidden within the Septum of the Peritoneum Hermaphrodites and the Cod is empty or open in its middle part by reason of the Vrethra being there perforated seeing the sides of the Cod are like the Lips of the Womb and the Yard is very smal These things have deceived unskilful Midwives and made them â—udg Children so born to be Females Somtime the Vrethra is perforated above the Cod or neer the Nut of the Yard which is then shut up and solid which hinders the right eâ—aculation of the Seed unless the Vrethra be opened and a little pipe be put in to make a passage But when the Parties grow into yeers the heat of the body being augmented also by violent exercises and by plucking the same oftentimes the Yard comes to be augmented and the Stones which lay hid in the Groins do fal into the Cod unless it be perâ—orated as aforesaid or the Stones remain in the Groyns and often deceive Physitians making them to think the Persons are bursten Such Persons having been accounted Women do at last become Men. Howbeit A woman is never changed into a man there never was any Woman turned into a Man unless she abused her Clytoris being prolonged or some superfluous Flesh have grown out of her Womb which may have the form and stifness of a Mans Yard but is no way compounded as a true Yard And therfore Women are rather delighted with the mutual rubbing of their bodies one against another and by the lying of the one upon the other than by the vain titillation and unprofitable intrusion of those Parts Chap. 32.

The Veins and Arteries which being touched the Patient dies for it The Seminal Vessels may be feared and so a man become invisibly gelded because Insensible gelding the Stones wanting their nourishment do consume and lose their Vigor But I see on every side great difficulties in these kind of Operations which I judg to be dangerous and therefore I conceive the best way is to let them alone Chap. 33. Of the Fundament AT the same time when the Cod is dissected in the Order of Anatomy by reason Order of Section of Neighbor-hood the Fundament is to be dissected and demonstrated The Fundament therefore called Anus and Podex is the outermost end of the It s Name a T. 3. f. 7.

Of the Genital Parts of a Woman and first of the External THe Genital parts of a Woman are divided into the external and internal The External Genital Parts internal prepar Seed or somwhat like seed and aford place for the Conception The External Parts are visible and must be viewed before we come to Section Let us therefore stay a whil in the porch before we pass into that sacred Cave or Closet of the Womb. That outward Part which is adorned with Hair is called Pubis the Share that Pubis Cunnus I conceive thâ— Term Cunnus derived from the Greck Connos a beard does properly signifie the Hair about the Female Privity not the Orifice it self but only by a Metonymy of the Adjunct for the Subject Carunculae Myrtiformes Passage which is shut with two Valves or folding Doors whence the name Vulva is called in Latin a T. 7. f. 5.

These things being thus observed we must proceed to dissection that the structure Lips of the Womb. of these Parts may be discovered The f Lips of the Womb are made up of the Cuticula or Scarf-Skin and the Skin on which the Haires grow and they have underneath Fat and a fleshy Membrane which seemes to be of the Nature of a Muscle It seemes to be spred in that place that it may serve to draw the Lips together but inasmuch as it reaches into the Clitoris it does in some sort resemble the Muscles of a Mans Yard Yet those in the Clitoris are different from the other Those who have their Privity plumpe and Pappy and the Lips thereof thick the motion of their Muscles is very smal and hard to be discerned The Nympha a T. 7. f. 5.

Some sickly VVomen while they go with Child have their health better than Why some childing women are sickly others not ordinary but the Child fares the worse for it because it sucks up the impurities of the Mothers blood Others are worse at that time because the impurity of the mass of blood is carried into divers parts and if it stick in the Stomach it causes either strange longings or frequent vomiting in some al the while they are big in others to the middle of the time of their Belly-bearing If a Woman during the whol time of her Conception can make the Child partake of her passions it wil partake both of her Health and Sickness Whether or no may we let blood or purge a sick woman that is with Child Whether a big-bellied woman may be let blood Affir Blood may be taken away at any time especially in the first months in which the Child being smal needs little blood to nourish it but in other months also blood is taken away if the greatness of the Disease require it to save both Mother and Child And if any ill happen after blood-letting in such a Case it must be attributed rather to the violence of the Disease than to the blood-letting or any other Remedy applied But if a VVoman with Child be taken with the disease Cholera a violent purging Whether in the disease Cholera she may bleed Neg. upwards and downwards of corrupt Humors when she is in her seventh or eighth month whether in such a case is it safe to let her blood If it be suspected as hurtful in such women as are not with Child lest their strength being by much Evacuation weakened should be more perished and decayed much less is it to be allowed in such as are big-bellied who have suffered plentiful and immoderate Evacuation out of their Veins because it inclines the Patient to miscarry while it defrauds the Child of its nutriment and impoverishes the mother so to go about to Cure a VVoman with Child is a dangerous and unheard of Practice For if al Practitioners dis-allow the same in Men and VVomen not with Child both Greeks Arabians and Latines both Antient and Modern much more is it to be dis-liked in a woman seven or eight months gone with Child If it be done in a smal quantity it is to no purpose what can the taking away of one little Porrenger of blood do to resist the furious agitation of Humors and to extinguish a Feaver seeing the blood is wont to come very slowly away drop by drop and the best first I say no more lest I should seem with affectation to handle this Question which shal be more accurately discussed in another place He that desires to be acquainted with the Cure of VVomens Diseases let him read Hippocrates his fift Book of that Subject It is worthy Observation That the greater the Child grows in the VVomb the Whether in big-bellied women the womb grows thinner Neg. more does the VVomb and the Placenta or VVomb-Cake or VVomb-Liver encrease so that neer the time of Travel it is as thick as a mans Thumb contrary to the Nature of other Bodies which by how much the more they are distended by so much the thinner they grow If the thickness of the VVomb be less either those VVomen are lean or have little blood or had a flux of blood a little before their Child-birth and such do void little or no blood by way of the Child-bed Purgations Now the Child in the VVomb lies round like a Foot-ball floats in Water being The posture accoÌ„modation of the child in the womb compassed with two a T. 8. f. 1.

Book 4. Though Hippocrates has written that such as complain of pains in their Loins are looâ—eâ— bellyed than ordinary that saying does not take away the necessity of Purging in these cases Bleeding at the Hemorrhoid Veins is good both for the Kidneis and for pains of the Loins and therefore the Hemorrhoids are to be provoked A lasting pain of the Loins without Heat or any Inflammatory disposition unless it can be discussed with Fomentations after purging blood-letting often repeated the Humor must be drawn out with Cupping-Glasses and Scarification and by Application of Vesicatories or making Issues on each side of the Back-bone also with a Bath of fresh water qualified with Herbs or by sitting in natural Baths or having their water Pumped from on high upon the Parts affected For the pains of the Loins are more vehement and stubborn if the serous matter be conteined within the Muscles as far as the Vertebras and they are yet worse and harder to be cured if they come to the Marrow of the Back But those Symptomes which are thought to arise from the Loins do not arise from the Parts which constitute or make up the Loins but from the neighbouring Parts which being spread upon the Loins do cause pain and transfer their Humors into other Parts by a quick or slow motion by the Veins and Arteries such as are Vena Cava and Aorta the Haemorrhoid Veins and the Mesaraicks Out of Galen The End of the Second Book THE THIRD BOOK OF THE ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY OF John Riolanus THE KINGS PROFESSOR OF PHYSICK Chap. 1.

Of the Dugs of Women THe Dugs are made up of a company of Kernels very like the Kernels of Prune-Stones Their Substance clustered together and disposed confusedly in heapes upon a Membrane proper to themselves in the middest of which there lies one Kernel greater than the rest under the Teat The Dugs are placed upon the Brest not to defend the Heart not to adorne and Scituation beautifie the Woman but that the Infant may be more conveniently nourished while the Mother embracing it in her Arms laies it to the Dug and the Child Tâ—â—kling her Nipple with its â—ucking provoks her the more to love it and to express her Love by frequent Kisses The largeness of the Dugs is different according as the Woman is of a more or less Magnitude fleshy and laâ—civious constitution of Body for the lustful heat of the Womb does puff up and swel a Womans Dugs In a Marriagable Virgin they become more large if she enjoy carnal Embracements with more than ordinary pleasure and content Nature our bountyful Mother has given a Woman two Dugs that she may nurse Number two Children or if one brest be sore the other may serve the turn for a time And for this Cause they communicate Vessels one with another The shape of the Dugs is not flat but bunching out that they might contein the Shape greater Quantity of Milk At the end of the Dugs are the Teats out of which drops the Milk which the Infant sucks The Teat or Nipple is made of the Skin drawn together and boared with little The Teats holes It is wrinkled on the out-side that the Infant may more easily lay hold upon it and keep it in its Mouth Round obout the Teat there goes a Ring or Circle of different Colors in Women The Circle about the Teats in respect of their Age and of their being with Child or not with Child c. In Virgins it is red in such as are devirginated it is Black and Blew In Women with Child it is larger than ordinary and if they go with a Boy it is Black and Blew or red if they go with a Girle it is of a whiteish Color The Medicinal Consideration The largness of the Chest is commended as sound and healthful but a narrow Mis-shapen Chest Chest is blamed because it occasions shortness of Breath because the Lungs are ill housed wanting Room to display themselves The shape of the Chest ought diligently to be considered by a Physitian when he sees any troubled with shortness of Breath In healthy Persons that the Chest may be perfectly shaped it is requisite that it be round in the forepart and not sharp and that it be streight before and behind if it prove crooked there is a fault in the Back-bone of which we shal speak in our Doctrin of bones Terence blames the affected Care of Mothers who straitned the Chests of their yong Daughters that they might become Slender and smal in the wast Such are â—…ghtly termed Wasp-wasted Weâ—ches because they seem divided in the middle like a Waspe or Bee A mis-shapen Chest by reason of the Crookedness of the Back-bone is more frequently By Crookedness of the Back-bone seen in Women than in Men because they are the weaker Vessels These Crookednesses we endeavour to correct with a firm Pair of Bodies made either of hard Leather or of strong Linnen with Whale-bones sowed between or of very thin Plates of Iron Also the Back-bone is daily by contrary motious bowed the other way Some are born thus Mis-shapen and they are incurable let the Rectifiers of Crookedness do what they câ—… Many times Rhewmes fal upon the Muscles of the Back bone which draw the Vertebraes awry whence proceeds a mis-shapen Bâ—…-bone and consequently a Crooked Chest because their shape depends upon the shape of the Back-bone To the evil shaping of the Chest appertains the falling down of the Brest or the By falling of the Brest bowing in of the Sword-like Gristle which hurts the Stomach and provokes vomiting and also shortness of Breath by hurting the Midrif therefore this Gristle ought speedily to be lifted up and restored to its place Baptista Codronâ—â—us and Ludovâ—cus Septalius have treated of this Disease The Diseases of the Cavity of the Chest are Empyema or a collection of quittor Empyema Dropsie within the said Cavity and the Dropsie of the Brest all which Diseases require a perforation to be made between the fourth and fift Rib of the Chest on that side in which the Humor is conteined Somtimes winds do so violently distend the Lungs that the Patient is in danger of Choaking unless the Chest be opened by the Perforation afore said which is often practised at Paris to the great benefit of the Patients and easing of the Chest although no watry Humors come forth but only wind which Issues violently with a noise Those whose Chests are distended with wind are by Hippocrates termed Pneumatiai The Dugs are to be considered at divers seasons in a Virgin Marriagable in a Condition of the Dugs Married Woman in a woman with Child and in one that lies in Child bed and gives Suck because in these several times they
are subject to several Diseases In ripe Virgins fully Marrigable the Dugs are firm and solid They become more soft and In a marriagable Virgin swelling when they are transported with a burning desire of carnal Embracements and by how much the higher they swel without pain and the fuller Orbe that they make strowâ—ing and Kisâ—ing one another the greater is their desire after bodily Pleasure and it may be guessed that they have tasted the Sweetness of Mans-Flesh If when the Dugs are pressed Milk drop forth it is a sign of the Parties being with In a married Woman Child though Hippocrates accounts it but an uncertain Sign The Dugs of a Marryed woman which were raised with the Ardency of fleshly lust do sink and faâ— by little and liâ—tle Women that have large strouting Dugs are termed in Latine Mammosae Mulieres and they are of an hoâ— Con plexion lustful and lovers of Wine and good Liquor If they happen to be of a cold Complexion the swelâ—ing of their Dugs comes from an Wheyish Humor which they suck in like Spunges So saies Hippocrates Large and ponderous Dugs do hinder Breathing by burthening the Chest So the swelled Breaths of Ancient Virgins and married women are liable to the same Diseases For either by reason of a Flux of Humors or of some bruise they are Inflamation of the Dugs Impostum inflamed and impostumate somtime they become Scirrhous and Knobbed as it were with the Kings-Evil by reason of the Kernels and then a Kernel or two if they be movable ought to be taken clean away by cutting the Skin before they Scirrhus cleave to the Fat the Disease encreasing and creeping on to infect other Kernels Hence comes an incurable Cancer Because the Dugs are ful of Kernels and spungy Cancer and therefore ordained by Nature to receive superfluous Humors So that such Women as have them dried and shrunken up are unhealthy and much troubled with spitting The Dugs of a Woman with Child some time after her Conception do swel by In a woman with child Distention by blood little and little by reason of the flowing back of the Menstrual blood and they drop a milâ—y Whey but in Child bed women they become yet bigger by reason of a greater afflux of blood than the Dugs are able to contain From this distention springs a Feaver on the third day after they are delivered which lasts a day or two or longer unless the Milk be forced back or some Child suck the Dugs This Milk is called in Latine Colostrum and many are afraid to nourish the Child therewith Yet Spigelius has proved That this first Milk is no bad milk and that a Mother ought not to refuse to nourish her Child therewith If in a Woman with Child the Dugs are liable to Inflamation Tumors and Vlcers In a woman that lies in much more are they so in a Child-bed Woman and one that gives suck by reason of the curdling of her Milk Dioscorides writes That the swelling of the Dugs is brought down by the application of bruised Hemlock which Experience shews to be true Howbeit Dodonaeus approves not of this Medicine by reason of the malignant and venemous Nature of this Herb which being applied unto the Dugs may wrong the Heart Hippocrates in his Epidemicks has this Saying If the Nipples of Womens Dugs and that which is red in them be pale their Womb is diseased There is a great League and fellow-feeling between the Dugs and the Womb Consent of the womâ— dugs how caused by reason of two Veins viz.
