    The Introduction. o o o' q. Nthropologia or the Docfirine of Mans Nature, is, though com¬ monly, yet rightly divided into two Parts: which treats of the Body and its Parts j and Pfychologin, which treats of the Soul. Anatomia therefore [more rightly called Anatomy, that is Section, which Sc. Ignatius reckons as a kind of Martyrdom, Ccelius terms Afertio an opening, and Proyefizi? a cutting up, whence the term Proje^or, a Cutter up ] that I may come to chat which is mybulinefs; in as much as it is a part of Natural Philofophy [tor • ^ j. a c Medicinal Anatomy how ever ufeful and of which Galen treats in Subject of his Anatomical Adminiitrarion, we muft leave to Phylitiansjhathfor icsSubjedt cbcEody of anyAnimal or Live-wight whaefoever,whether frequenting the Land or or Waters, flying in the Air, 8cc. and not only the Body of Man. But we are wont moft of all to fearch into the ftruflure of Mans Body. i. Becaule of the great Pertedtion thereof,which Why Anatomy is the Rule of Imperfection. 2. Becaule the fundry forts of Animals are almoft infinite, Co treats chiefly of that to dilfedt and fearch into all of them, the life of man in this Age of the W orld is not fuffi- the Body of dent, 3. Becaufe of the incredible profit which thereby redounds to every man, who defires Man. perfedlly to know himfelf, and this Houle of his earthy Tabernacle, both the better to preferve Health and to cure Dlfcafes: Nor can any man be aNatural Philofopher or deferve foro be called, unlefs he have the DoCtrtne of Anatomy at his fingers end, above dll other Parts of Na¬ tural Philofophy. Yet is not the Diffedlion of other Creatures therefore unprofitable,or to be /- n • ■ negleded by an Anacomift, partly by reafon of the Analogic and Correfpondence they hold Diffechon with the Body of Man, partly to attain to the Knowledg of the Motions of Living Creatures, ‘v and partly, to conclude, for the Exercile of an Anatomift and Surgeon. Democritus fought the Seat and Nature of Choler in Living Creatures. After him Galen diffedred Apes and other anAnatomiJi Living Creatures, as alfo Severinus, Aldrovandtis, Cafedus, Bront{erus, Panarolus ana my felf have ^ cut up divers Living Creatures. By the cutting up of Creatures alive Afellius found out the Vence laSlea or milkie Veins, and Harvey and Walxus found the motion of the Blood. Moreover, becaule in regard of the variety of its Atfions, the Body of Man docs not confift of one part all alike, but of fundry; therefore we muft know that the whole Body is divided dtvifion into Parts containing. Parts contained, and Parts moving, according to the ancient Dodrine oiHippocrates: that is to fay, into folid Parts, Humors and Spirits. And in this large accep- ration, all things are called Parts which make up and complcar the Body, even the Nai!s,Hairs, ^ Fat and Marrow. But ftricclly and properly that is called a Part, which partakes ofthe form, and life of the whole, and fuch the Anatomifts accounts only the yo/z'd Parts, And therefore Pernelius hath well defined a Part to be A Body joyned to the whole, partaking of the common Life thereof, and fitted for the performance of fomePun^ions or \JJe. P>nx. Galen accounts that a Parc, Wloat aPari which is a Body in fome fort joyned to the whole, and hath in part its own proper Circum- is ? foription. Briefly, they fay, that a part is properly ; • • . 1. That which lives, is nourifhed, but does not nourifh any other Parr, And fo they ex¬ clude the Spirits, Humors, &c, alfo the Fat, which fomtimes nourifhes die Parts, and the What is the Marrow of ;he Bones, as being their Nourifliment. proper accepta* 2. That which is folid, _ tion df the 3. Which hath a proper Circumfeription of its own. The contrary whereofis in fat,which ^^’ord Part. is terminated by the figure of theTarcs adjacent. 4. Which is continued with the whole, Mathematically and Phyfically, both in refpedt of the Matter and Form joyntly confidered. y. Which is fitted for fome Function orUfe. And fo Warts and Swellings, with other things which grow upon the living Body praecernaturally, are excluded. And that we may underftand what is ment by Fundtion andUfe, I fhall briefly open the lame. An Adfion or Funiflion may be either private or publick. The private Aftion is that whereby the Parts provide for themfelves 5 the publick is that whereby they provide for the whole live Creature. A publick Aftion as it is oppofed to ufe, is the Ailion of the principal Afiioti Part of an Organ which performes the whole Action. For every Aftion in the Body of a live- wight, hath according to G4/c?z, a peculiar Particle, by which it is performed. For Examples'' ihke; The Skin hath of it felf a private Adtionjfuch as theActrafkion and Retention of Nourifli- ment, &c. it hath alfo a publick adtion for the behoof of the whole Animal, viz. the difoerning of the tangible Qualities, fuch as are perceived by the Senfe of Feeling. So the adtion ofthe Liver is blood-making, ofthe Stones, Seed-making; ofthe Dugs Milk-making. But the Ufe, is that help which the Icls principal Parts afford the more principal, in the per- What hy the formance of their Adl:ions,which according to Galen is in all Parts,yea even in thofe which have \Jfe. no adtion at all. It fprings chiefly from three Fountaines, and they are, I. The proper Temper of the Part,that is to fay the Symmetry or even proportion ofthe firft Qualities. For Examples fake, The Skin is in refpctk of the firft Qualities temperate 3 and if D you »
