$mto the more inward parts, the other Cutanés the Skin-branch. The deep or inner one [sj in Its fil'd divarications meets with Glandules about tfie Chops, and fends forth propagations worthy of our notice to the Larhix or Throttle, and the Glandules that grow to it, as.-ihototheMu cles of the Chops, and of the bone called b}odes, among which that which creeps all along under the tongue, is a notable one, and is fcattered into many little branches, which are feen, if the Tongue be lift up^ even before dif- leftion. From this deep branch three others arife, which enter into the inner parts of the Head, and the Skull. The firft, after it has fprread little branches into the Chops and Mouth, enters the Skull, through the firft hole of the Temple-bone. The next [ej pailcs out of the fo epart of the eye through the fécond hole of the Wedg-bone, at which the fécond pair ol Nerves gets out, and runs with fomc circles through the thicker Membrane upwards. The third is fcattered out of thebre.adth of the Noftrils through the hole of the cri^ro/i/w, or five-bone into the fame Membrane. Thcfe two ncurifii this forepait, to which the third reaches not, but ends near to the partition of the Mamillary Procédés. But the outer or Skin-branch [u] creeping by the skin of the Head, r 'tii> and ftayed up with the Glandules under the Ear, which they call Parotides, is divided “ into two branches; ot which the Anteriour [x] is carried upward obliquely through the Cheeks to the inner corner ot the Eye , diftributing little branches by the way to the Nofe-, and going on to the Eye-brow, is joyned with the remainder of the branch Ol the other fide, and makes the Strait-vein, which they call t/c7Zij/ro;:tii-,the Fore¬ head vein, f and which in madnefle is opened to very great advantage. To this the Sat)riji alludies, wh.n fpeaking of a certain foolilh fellow, hee fayes,-Mediam fertun- ditivenam. f* • The other or Pofteriour branchis carried behind, apd fends branches to the Temples [z] and skin of the Back-part fa] of the Head. A third vein, which arifes out of the üpper part of the Subclavian branches, is commonly called Mu^tula juperior, the upper Mufcle-vein, in relation to another of the fame name arifing out of the lower part. \t mr, iflues out near to the external! Jugular vein, and is dilperfed into the Mufcles,and skin of the back-fide of the Neck,in regard whereof we lhal not do amilfe to cal it Cervicalis juperior or the higher Neck-vein [j3 J.- But now let us return to thediftribution of the Subcla¬ vian-vein, from which we have digreft. This vein, as (bon as it gets out of the cavity of theChcû, is called [F], and when it comes to the Arm-pit, is divided irito two Thedivifion notable branches, called Cephalica or Head-vein [G] and Baftlica [ I j, which are afterward the Axillary difleminated throughout the whole Arm. But before the Axillary-vein be thus divided, ‘to two it fends forth two twigs ; the firft [y] is called Sceipularis mterna the inner Biadc-vein,and • isdiftributed through the Mufcles on the infide of the Shoulder-blade: the other [i^Jis ons^befofe^its named Scapularis externa, or the outer blade-vein, it is a pretty big one, and is implanted divifion. into the Mufcles of the outer, and gibbous part of the fame Shoulder-blade, But the ''eafaUris m-> vein Baftlica alfo,before it enters the Arnijlhoots out two propagations; one called ca\upcriQr,ov the upper Cheft-vein^fJ becaufc it arifes out of a higher part then the follow- Thoracica fipt- ing,it is a very notable one,and runs through the infide of the peftoral! Mufcle that brings nor. the Arm forward to the Bred: ; itdiftributes branches alfo to the other Mufcles of the Bred, as alfo to the Skin of the Dugs in women. The other is called ‘Ihoracica inferior,the Thoracica infe- lower Ched-vein [ (J' J, a great and notable one likewife, which defeending along the fide nor, oftheChed is didributed efpecially through the third broad Mufcle or Latifmus that moves the Arm backward, fcattering many little branches from itfelf, which afterwards are joyned by Anaflomofts or inoculation, with the branches of the vein fine pari, that fallout of theChed. And this Vein fometimes grows out of the former, or the up¬ per Ched-vein. Thefe branches being thus didributed, the Axillary-vein reaches into the Arm. CHAP. 111. Shetos how the Axillary-vein is difiributedthrough the Arm. He Axillary-vein [F] therefore is cleft into two branches, as fboii as it comes The divifiori near to the Arm, but thofe branches are of different bigneffe. For the up-of the Axillary per [GJ which they call Cephalicus,the Head-branch,is fmaller ; but the lower vein [ r called BafiUcafis almod thrice grcater.The Cephalick alfo is as it were wholly jud under the skin, 8c finks not with above one branch into the deeper retreats of the Mufcles ; wherefore it has neither Artery, nor Nerves for its companions, they being addifted to the more inward rooms of the body. But the Bafilick-vein partly creeps on under the skin, partly hides itfelf under the Mufcles, and therefore it ought with good reafon to exceed the other in bignefie, as being dedined for the nourifhment of more parts. It hath both Nerves, and Arteries as companions in its journey, which is the caufe, why upon the cutting of this vein the bloud fpins out with a force ; but of the C c c c eon-^$
