    branes about the tranfvcrfc procefTcs of the right fide, and the right produftion of the ^e|^r«w or Midriffe, and the beginning ot the fame firft bender of the thigh, which kee^ the right hde is unplantc4 fometimes intp the very Trunk of the Hollow-vein, fora^ times into thefirft vein of the Loins; And we are indebted for this obfervation to the learnedwho would have the matter that is gathered together iii th c Cheft, whe¬ ther it be vvatcry, or purulent and corrupt, or fanguinous, to be evacuated by the bene- ht of the left branch of this veinj ot which notwjthftanding we will fay fomething briefly m the following Book But this vein in its journey downwards ftoot! forth twigs ot both fides, as well right, as left, of which the right arc more notable and larger, of which there arc numbred almoft alwayes ten ; which run out to as many diftan- CCS oi the lower ribs, and make the inferiour Intercoftall veins. But I fay they are ahroft alwayes ten, becaufc it happens very feldom, that all thediftanccs of the ribs receive branches from this vein, the two uppermoft, to wit, the firft and fécond diflance getting their furclcs or twigs from fhe fourth brandi, that is prefendy to be mentioned: But thefe twigs run ftraight forwards near to the lower fide of the ribs, where there arc ca¬ vities cut out for them, as we have taught in the fécond Book. And truly this place is di¬ ligently to be taken notice ot by Students in Chirurgery, Waufeof the opening of-the Cheft in the difeafe called Empyma,ih&t they may know that incifion is to be made in th« uppermofl place of the rib, bccaufe in the lower the veflels would be harmed to the great indangering of life. But thefe veins do not r.un through the whole length of the true ribs’ but are terminated together with the bony part.But the propagations of the Mammary vein iioiirifli the fix diftances between the griftles of the feven true rib8,as we (hall tell you by and by. Yet in the Baftard ribs they run even beyond the Griftles towards the Abdoms^ /■ or Paunch, into whofe Mufcles they infinuatc themfelvcs. But there arc certain othet* little branches propagated from the fame vein, by which nouriflimenc is derived to th* marrow of the Rack-bones, and the* Mufcles, to wit, thofe about which they arc carried : fame alfo are implanted into the Mediafiimm near to fhcback.Thié vein fine pah without a companion,bcing thus conftkutcd, the Hollow-vein afeends to the or Hollow, bf the Neck [D] being fupported by the Mediafimm^ and a certain foie and glandulous bo- dy>which the Greeks call » and iè placed in the higheftpart oftheCheft, to defend the divarications of the veins there hanging up from all danger of breaking. And here the Hollow-vein is firft divided into two notable branches [EE] from ^hich The divifiaa all thole veins arife, that run as well to the Head,as to the Arms, or to certain Mufcles of of rh« Hollow^ the Abdomen. Of thefe one goes to the right fide,and the other to jthc kfc,which as long as they yetareintheCheft, are called Subclaviifi\fioc\zsm\ branchcs,becau(ctli^y go under an bran^cT**’ the cUviculéfyOV Coller-bones;but as food as they have gotten out of the Cheft,and attain ' to the Arm-hole,they arc named Axillares, the Axillary-veins [F]. From both of them very many propagations ifliic forth, fome of which arile from their upper part, and fame from their lower. In our rccitall of them we will obferve this order, that they which arc neereft to the Trunk, fliall be firft mentioned by us j and they Jaft, which afe fartheà' from it. , The firft propagation then ifliies out near the very root oftlie divarication of divifion Prppagarions , of the Trunk, and is called Intercofialk juperier , the .tipper Intercoftall vein ; [c] there is from the lowce of either fide ohe, which being very littlit, and delcending along by the roots of the ribs, g - as far as to the third rib, fends two twigs ff f ] overthWarc, like the vena fincpari, to the branches!' > two diftances of the upper ribs. But if thcve«rf fine pari fends its propagations to all intcrcoJiAkji^ the diftances (aï it fomethnis happens) then it is wanting not without caufe. Sometime* pnUr. the fame vein arifes from the Trank of the Hollow-vein, before its divifion frito th* fiibclavian branches. . j Another vein [ g 3 Ibmetimes arifes from the fore-part of the bifurcation; fometimes from the root of the Subclavian branch, and is doubly of either fide one : fometimes al- (b only.'one grows out of the middle of fhc Trunk, before itbe divided; which at length, when it has attained unto the Breaft-bone, is parted into a right, and a left branch. Fçr Nature is wont to (port, as fometimes in' its other works, fo efpccially in the rife of veins, ^ fo that they are not Ipread in all bodies after the fame manner. But this is called Mam- hUmmirfi maria, the Mammary vein, which, when foever it arifes, going toward the tore-part, ftrives to get up to the higher part of the Breaft-bont, and defeends by the fidcs of it, and when it is come to the Brcaft blade, about its fidcs goes out of the Cbeft, and runs on di- fcftly under the rightMufclcs of the even to the Navill, near to whj(di it is ’ joy ned by an Ahaftomofis,or inocuîafïçn [ i o] With an Epigaftrick-vein [9] that afeends and meets h; by the benefit whereof arifes that notable frmpathjr betwixt the womb, and Breaftspf women, oflwhith we ftiall fpcak more hercafrer in the eight Chapter,when^ we fhall infift on thatHiftory of thcEpigaftrick-vcin’. , But before it leave the Cheft, in; its defeent, it diftributes one branch a piece to the fix diftances betwixt the Griiîles of the ftven upper true ribs, of either fide, which are tciminatcd wiah the Griftles aca^r tio the end of the boiiy part of the ribs, in which place we told you that the brauri»^ 9* vein fine pari, fwitfr the extremities of which thefe arc joyned) ware ended.
