¶ The Anatomy of the inward Parts of man, lively set forth and: diligently declaring the principal veins with the use of letting blood, very necessary for Phisytians and Surgians and all other that desire to know themselves.  

¶ THE SIGNIFICATION OF SUCH letters, as are placed in this figure.  
A signifieth the gull of the throat, called also the throat bowl, and in Latin Gurgulio & Canna pulmonis. that is to saic, the Lungepupe & weson, pertaining to them lights & to the heart: conveying air to then both, & it divideth itself into many hollow pipes within the Lungs, as ye see.  
B Signifieth the Lungs or lthtes, called in Latin Pulono, and it is called the bellows of the body, for it draweth & sendeth fourth again the air, with the which the heart & other members are tempered: wherefore the Lungs be full of holenesse, even like a sponge and empty, opening itself to the receiving of air, and gathering itself together, to expel it again, as dothe-apayre of bellows: fasheoned much after the shape of an Ox house.  
C Signifieth the haft called in Latin Cor, the seat of life, the ruler and director of spirit & blood. It appeareth within against the left breast: it is figured round tending to sharpness at one of his ends, the which is to wards the breast: it is of all other members the principal, and is called the son of the less worlds: for man among Philosophers is called the less world, and the heart being in it, is to all the body as the sun is to all this great universal world: which approaching near unto us, all things rejoice, herbs bring fourth flowers, trees spread their branches, all fowl, fish, and beasts, receive great comfort: even so the heart in man being heavy & pensive, all the body is sad and ill disposed: The heart again being glad & merry, all the body is light & lusty: For it illumineth and lighteneth all other members with his spirit. It is the first member in man that receiveth life, and the last that dieth. Only this part in man is never grieved notably with any disease, but if it be, forthwith it dieth, and all the man with him.  
D Signifieth the Middrefe, called Diaphragma, Septum transuersum, & Praecordia, and it is a thine skin, which divideth the uppar part of the body from the neither part, that is to say, the heart & lu●●es, from the spleen & liver. etc.  
E Signifieth the throat pipe, called in Latin Gula, & interior Collifistula, that is to wit, the inner pip● or conduct of the neck, the which cometh from the 〈◊〉 to t●● stomach & through it is conveyed the meat and dri●●… 〈◊〉 which by the mouth is sent in to the stomach. And where this pipe doth appear above the shoulders where also the throat bowl is seen, there it is called the throat, & the outward pipe of the neck: And this part of the same pipe showing itself in the boske of the body, is called the inward part of the neckepype or throat pipe.  
F Signifieth the upper part of the mouth of the stomach, called in Latin Os stomachi.  
G Signifieth the stomach, called in Latin Stomachus, the receptacle of meat and drink, a place devised of nature to concoct and digest food as a furnace, wherein meat is sudden: and it is offended with many and sundry diseases.  
H Signifieth the bottom of the stomach, the which (meat being in the stomach undigested,) is very close & the same being once decoct & digested, it openeth itself again.  
I Signifieth the neither mouth of the stomach, or the issue of the same, called in Greek Pylorus, and commonely in Latin Protonarius, the way by the which the meat onhis digested, passeth down to the guts.  
K Signifieth the liver called in Latin Hepar, and jecur, this is the place where the juice coming of meat digested in the stomach, is transmuted and altered in to blood: but that part of this juice, which is not apt to be converted to blood, is altered, part to flewine, part to colour, and part to melancholy.  
L Signifieth the Gaulle called in Latin Fel: this part receiveth the refuse & dregs of the blood, & it cleaveth cheafely to the laps of the liver.  
M Signifieth a certain vain, called in Latin Vena portae, and Manus iccoris, that is, the hand of the liver: this vain receiveth the digested juice by divers veins out of the stomach & other bowels, and sendeth the melancholy part in to the spleen.  
N Signifieth the spleen, called in Latin Splen & Lain, which is the receptacle and sink of melancholy.  
O Signifieth a vain which in Latin is called Vena cava & Venaiecoraria, the hollow vain, the vain of the liver, for by this vain the blood engendered in the liver, is ministered to all parts of the body, to nourish the body therewith.  
P Signifieth the kidneys called in Latin Renes, fastened to both sides of the body near to the loins, but the right kidney standeth somewhat higher than the left by those the watery part of the blood actracte and drawn, descendeth through certain other veins, as ye see in to the bladder.  
Q Signifieth the bladder, in Latin Vesica, receptacle and receiver of urine.  
R Signifieth the stones, called in Latin Testiculi and this is the place where seed is engendered.  
S Signifieth the cods, called in Latin Scrotum.  
T Signifieth the privy part of man, called in Latin Penis, in whom be two notable ways or issues, whereof the one is the urine, issue, the other is called the seed issue.  
V Signifieth the small guts, called in Latin Ilia, in those is engendered the cruel pain, called the knawing, or pain of the belly.  
X Signifieth the grosser and greater part of the guts, in Latin called Colon, in whom the excrements or ordure long withholden, receiveth a certain form & fashion after the place. This part many times is sore vexed with the colic.  
Y Signifieth the latter end of all the guts, thorough the which immediately the ordure is expelled, named also the fundament. This place many times is offended with a disease, called the piles or emorrodes, and this place in Latin is named Longanon.

¶ The Anatomy of the inward Parts of woman, very necessary to be known to Physicians and Surgians and all other that desire to know themselves.  
FOR so much as the declaration of most of the principal parts is sufficiently set forth in the anatomy of man, therefore will I remit you thither: There to behold the operation of them, and here we will declare the situation and manner of such parts as are in woman different from the parts in man. How be it, first ye shall understand the signification of the letters, which are graven within this figure.  

A The gully of the threat.  
B The Lungs.  
C The heart.  
D The middrese.  
E The inner part of the throtte pipe, passing through the boolke and the lungs into the stomach,  
F The mouth of the stomach.  
G The stomach.  
H The bottom of the stomach.  
I The neither mouth of the stomach.  
K The liver. Next unto this letter. K. you see this  
L letter. V the which would be. L. & it signifieth the gall  
M Vena portae, the liver vain.  
N The spleen.  
O Signifieth the place and vessel to the which the sloures be derived from the liver, nam menses in primis sensim erumpunt ab ipso iccinore, velut per quaedam interualla, donec perventum fit ad illa (super primum ceruicis pudendae exor, tum) acetabula: quos hec, quasi hianti & aperto ore effundunt.  
P Signifieth the kidneys, in Latin Renes.  
Q Te bladder, in Latin Vesica, this bladder, receiveth the watery parts and urine, which descendeth from the reins, and it lieth in the lower part of the belly before the womb or matrice of the woman, whose neck entereth in at, and is fastened to the neck of the womb through the which naturally it sendeth forth the urine.  
R Signifieth the great vain, which is derived out of the liver, called in Latin Parigibba & Chilis: cencava, venarum matter, the mother of all veins, and from whom, and through his branches, other smaller veins, blood is conveyed into all parts of man's body.  
S T. V. X. Signifieth the womb, wherein mankind is conceived, nourished, and fostered, unto the time it be of a certain might and force, and then naturally is sent and brought forth in to the world: and it is called in Latin Matrix: before it, is the bladder: but it is somewhat higher than the bladder: the bottom of it extendeth itself unto the Navel.  
S. Signifieth the bottom of the womb, where is a certain thick carnosyte, which boweth downward and causeth a distinction to be in the womb,  
T wherefore. T. signifieth the right side of the matrice  
V The left side. Some there be that write, that there should be many sells or distinctions in the matrice, the which is not true: for other distinction than the fleshy part, which is signified by S. doth cause, is there none. In the right side, as Philosophers write, lieth alway the man child, in the left the woman child. And to know whether the conception be male or female, they bid to mark whether it move more on the right fyde then the left, for than it is a man, If on the left more, then on the right side, than it is a woman: and for that cause also is to be noted the two breasts, the right and the left: if the right be greater or harder than the left, it is a token of a man, if the left, of a woman: and if she have more pain and dolour in the right side, likewise it signifieth the man child, if in the left, a woman. Whether it be man or woman, according to the doctors of physic and philosophers, when the seed is first conceived in to the matrix, it encloseth itself after such a sort, that the point of a needle can not enter in at it, but by violence. And the first vi days that it is conceived, it remaineth crude and white like milk. Then in the space of other ix days, it waxeth red, and is become thick blood. Then in other xii days it beginneth to come to some fashion: then in the xviii days following the face and other principal members begin to grow in to a full shape and form, in longitude, latitude, and profundite. In the rest of the time unto the birth it is comforted and prepared to come forth: the which many times chanceth in the seven. month, and the child proveth and doth very well: but in the. vui. month few or none prove. About the latter end of the ix. again, if it be borne, it proveth very well, that is the most common course. xl. weeks after the conception. The manner how the child lieth in the mother's womb, is this: the face lieth on both the knees, both the hands being between the face and the knees: after such manner that the nose dependeth between the knees, and either of the eyes on either of the knees: so lieth it round in manner, and the face toward the inward part of the womb: and this partly have I showed you of the operation of the matrice.   

❧ A perfect and particular description of the secret parts of the body of woman, with the signification of the letters contained in the same.  
1 The womb is called in Latin Matrix as it wear Mater (that is) a mother: for as much as all beasts proccade out of that as borne of a mother. It hangeth between the splen and the bladder: but somewhat higher than the bladder. The bottom and hollowness thereof, is extended unto the navel: and it is the place of the first mass of conception called embryon.  
2 The right side or gulf of the matrics, wherein male children are begotten.  
3 The left gulf of the matrice, wherein female children are begotten.  
4 The mouth or entrance of the matrice, which is unclosed in the work of natural generation and receiveth the seed of man. And after conception, so straightly closeth itself, that the point of a needle, can not enter into it. Yet at times convenient (that is to say, at the avoiding of flowers) it openeth itself.  
5 From hence proceedeth the seed of woman in conception: and likewise the seed of man.  
6 This is the division of the great veins, proceeding from the liver to the heart: and again from the heart, passing through the ridge bone of the back, whereunto also the kidneys do cleave. From hence come the veins whereby the menstrual blood (for lack of natural heat engendered of crude and undigest blood) is conveyed into the matrice.  
7 The neck of the matrice, is vi. fingers in lenketh having beneath a narrow mouth, whereby the issue of the bladder sendeth forth urine.  
8 The privy member of woman.  
9 Two great artery veins, whereunto the matrice is fastened. And are therefore called the wings of the matrice.
