    varicoiis Girclings, which arc jointd with the fpermaticall Artery by Ana,h>mies or In- oculations, and at length it ends in the Ttfticic of its own fide. But the n?hc fpermati- call vein[;)'] arifesnotout of the Emulgent, but the Trunk itielf, and^lie tbrepart of it, a little beneath the Emulgent-vein, and afterwards obferves a likecourle v/ith the former. And thus they are in males, though we may obferve nature oftentimes vary¬ ing in them: but in women, although they arife in the fame manner, and obicrve the famccourfe with thofe in men, as far as the Holy-bone j yet they fall nt;t out of the Peritoneum, nor reach unto the lhare-bones, but before they come to the Tcfticlts are cleft into two unequall branches ; the Idler of which is I'cattered into the fides of the Womb toward the bottom of it 5 the greater being joined to the Ipernuticall Artery,and inocu¬ lated with it, enters into the Tefiicie ot its own fide. Lafi of all the fourth pair is cal¬ led [X] Lumbares, the Loin-veins [444] two, or three, which the Hollow-vein fends . 1 forth from its backlidc, which looks towards the bodies of the Rack-bones of the . Loins ; and thereforethey are not to be feen, unldlc the Trunk of the Hollow-vein be lifted up. Thefe veins go in through the holes pf the Rack-bones, through which the Nerves go out, andfo carry nourilhmcnt to the Spinali marrow. PTom them two o- thcr veins, tyedon both lides to the fide of the Marrow, afeend toward the brain, with which afterward two veins defeending from the internali Jugular, are joined by an Ana- ~ or Inoculation. Thefe propagations being thus fentout, when the Hollow-vein has almoft attained Thed* t to the i’rfcrww, or Holy-bone, about the fifth Pcack-bone of the Loins, it inclines under ofrhe Tn,2 the great Artery, and is cut into two notable branches called lliaci [XX] which having inrothenwo gone a little way are again cleft into two others [YandZ] of unequall bignefic, of **'‘'‘^^** ^^**** which one is called the inner, the other the outer. The inner is leffe, the outer larger and greater. But before they be fo divided,they fcatter two other propagations, the firft of which [<5] is commonly called MufeuU juferior, the upper Mufcle-vein, which is ^ diflêminated overthwart, through the Mufcles of the Loins, and Abdomen, or paunch, rier ^ from whence I would call it Mujcula /«mèrf/if, the Mufcle-vein of the Loins: the other[6] is named Sacra, or the Holy-vcin,bccaufe it reaches fome little twigs to the upper holes of^^^,.^ the Holy-bone,for the nourilhing of the faid bone and the Spinall-Marrow. But from both the Iliacall branches many veins iflue, before they go out of the Peri-Propagation^ toneum ot Rim of the Belly toward the Legs ; and from the inner branch two. The firft of the inner I- [7] arifes from the outfide called Mujcula media, the middle Mufcle-vein 5 becaufe it is fcattered into all the Mufcles of the Buttocks, and into their skin : For it. carries aliment to all thofe Mufcles, which are of the outfide, or Back of the bone Ilium or Hanch-bone, asalfoto the very joint of the Hip, that for this caulc it ought to be cfpccially taken notice of by them, who would fomewhat curioufly confider the caule of she ach in the Hip, or the Sciatica. I Ihould think that this vein may not be amille called GluUa from its inlcrtion, becaufe it is implanted into the Mufcles called Glut A, qIhua. or Mufcles of the Buttocks. The other [8] grows out of the infide, and is a notable vein, called Hyfogajirica, or the vein of the water-courle, from its diftribntion into al- Hyfo^afirm, moft all the parts of the Hyfogajhrium,or water-courle. From this iflues a branch named Hétnmhoidalis externa, the outer Emroid-vein, bccaule if at any time it fwels with a giore ji^morrhoiddk fasculcnt blond, or hot,or fait, it makes the outward Emroids of the Fundament. This ex territ* affords twigs to the holes of the Os jacrum, or Holy-bone,but beftows greater branches upon the Mufcles of the Reâum Intejiinum, or the Strait-Gut, as far as to the outer skin or the Fundament. There is alfo an other branch arifing from the fame Hypogaftrick- vein, which we call Cjjhw, the Bladder-branch, and is worthy of obfervation both in QjlicMii men, and women ; in men, becaufe it is fpent upon the Bladder i but in women, becaufe in them being luftained with a fat membrane, it goes with fome twigs to the Bladder j but with more to the bottom of the Womb j and with more maUiteft ones to the Neck of it, by which veins alone fome think that the monthly courfes flow in Virgins, and fome alfo think the fame in womeUi But the monthly courfes do not only flow out by thefe branches, but by thofe alfo, which we told you were fent from the fpermaticall branch,and which go to the bottom of the Womb, not to the Neck. For the menftruous blond is ufnally purged out,whether in virgins,or women,every monthjuot only through the Ncck,'but cfpecially through thole paflages of the Wômb,called Cotyledones-Which wc have fhown here at Padua, publiquely in the Theater, the firft year of our being Profcflbr, in the carkafle of a certain woman having her monthly courles. For we faw that the Hypogaftrick branches, and the Tpcrmatick velTcls with the Tefticles were filled with blond, and that the Womb itfclfdid pour out a thicker blond, the little mouths of the veins in the inner part of the Womb lying open ^ and manifeftly gaping. Yet I faw twice in others, that the menftrUous bloud came out of the veins of the Neck only, not alfo out of the Womb, and in another on the contrary that it flowed out of the Womb only. But the ordinary way is for women to be purged at them both, and not at one only,exccpt when befidcs the intent of nature obftriiftiGns do fcen> to hinder their flowing. . ,
