    ^ Cubic, and not far from its egreffe out of the Cheii, is divi- L J into two notable bi anches, of which one is called Profundiu or deep, the other ^hcbranches Subcutaneus^ or branch under the skin, from their fite, and profirelTe The deco one orProfab. [L], which for rhen,oft part i. the thicker, all the rgocs! pet?rats into the more inward parts of the Amt; having the Axillary Arteiy, thit runs into the Arm, every where tor its companion , as alfo the fourth branch of the third Nerve of the Arm.^ But it is carried betwixt the two Mufcles, which bend the Cubit, and, having palt Its mint, is cleft [M] into two branches 5 of which the outer [N ] near to the or wand, (from whence it might be called Trfd/fwr) goes down to the Hand, and feat- ters little branches totvard the Thumb and Fore-huger, as alfo the middle one ; but the inner branch [01 pafljng near to the bone of the Cubic, (from whence it de-ferves the name oï Cubiteui) diftributes fmall branches to the middle, and little fingers ; but as the outer fends its propagations to the Mufcles on the outfide of the Hand 5 fo the inner to thofe on the inlide. The other is the branch Subcutaneus, or under the skin [P] which SubculbneUs. IS carried down by the infide of the Arm, fcattering divers little branches to the skin , Its «divifion inra and parts adjacent, but when it is come to the inner protuberation of the Arm icisdivi’ ded [Q_] into an outer, and inner branch, likeas the Cephalick is. The inner [R] ” IS carried down obliquely, beneath the bought of the Arm, and being united \Uth the inner branch [yj] of the Cephalick, makes the vein called Mediana, of which we fpake before. But the outer [S] near to the inner protuberation of the Arm being divi¬ ded into two branches, is carried by the greater along the Region of the«/«rf‘or ell downward to the wrift, and fcatters itfelf into the little Finger,but by the other it is de¬ rived to the infide qf the Hand. But in this place it is worth our pains to advertife with other the mofi learned Anatomiftsj that it ought not to be believed, that the fame order, and courfe of veins is to be found in all men ; when the difleftion of bodies does demonftr.i£e, that fcarfe two in a thoufand do accurately obferve the fame diftribution of the veins. Where¬ fore we ought not to be fo fcrupulous in choofing out places for the openings of veins,as fome that are unexperienced, are wont; but to choofe that vein efpecially, which may be moft fafely opened, becaufe it is beft feen. Forfometimesthe Cephalick or Head- vein is fo Imall, that it can hardly be difeerned ; and fometimes on the contrary the Ba- filick is fo. Wherefore he ftiall do beft, who will rather follow wife counfell, then the fcrupulous opinion of unskillfull men. inner brauch. CHAP. IV. Explains the lower, or defeendent Trunks of the Hollow-vein, B|E have done with the upper Trunk.and branches of the Hollow-vein, it remains Thelnfftîoüi? I now, that we treat alfo of the lower. Neverthelcfîê (as we have above alfo ad- ^ I moniflit) they are not indeed two Tmnks, as Gd/ew would have them, but one . only which reaches in one continued line from its divifion about the fifth Rack- bone of the Loins [V] as far as to the Jugulum, or Hollow of the Neck [D] : but, for methods fake in teaching, we thus divide it by reafon of the Liver, which ftanding as it were in the middle of it, feems to part it into an upper, and a lower Trunk. As there¬ fore that is the upper one [ AD^ which runs up from the Liver to the Hollow of the Neck; f© that is the lower [T Vj which beginning at the lame Liver is terminated at the Os fa¬ ctum, or Holy-bone. And as the upper did run on undivided through the Cheft, fcattering . only fome propagations at its fidcs ; fo the lower alfo Hides down intire through the whole Abdomen, or paunch, only fome twigs fprouting from it. But when it has at¬ tained to the fifth Rack-bone of the Loins, it is cleft into thofe two notable branches called Iliad [XX] as the upper is into the Subclavian, which Iliacall branches afterward reaching into the Legs make the Crurall-veins ; as the fubclavian carried into the Arms make the Brachiales, or Arm-veins. Let us fpcak therefore in this Chapter of the Trunk, anil its propagations, as long as it yet is in the lower belly. Then let us come to the crurijll branches. From the defeendent Trunk then [TV] before it part into branches, arife four veins. For as foon as it is come forth from the hinder part of the Liver, it declines to the right thérr^nfe fide of the Back, and finds forth a propagation from its own left fide which they call before its divK Adipofa finijha, the left fatty vein [ ‘^ on the left fide] becaufe it pafles to the fat and outer fion. membrane of the Kidneys, which arifis from the Perrfone«wj or Rim of the Belly, as alfo Adipofa* to the Glandule, that grows above the Kidneys. There is another [u on the right fide] anfwering to this on the right fide, but which does very fildora grow out of the Trunk, but rather from the upper fide of the middle part of the Emulgent vein ; and becaufi it is diftributed in the lame manner as the left is, it is called Adipfa dextra, the right b atty vein. Yet fometimes y ou may fee the contrary alfo to happen, and this right Tcin to
