    f 14 A Deferipion of the Veim. Tract.I. Pwpagations of the outer Iliacall branch Efigtfirm- Tudendii Mufeuh infe- TIQU But we have obferved, and feen divers times, whileft we were about the cure of Ulcers in the privie Members, and Neck of the Womb, that at what time the monthly courfes do flow.themouthoftheWombgapes. Ifawalfo then, thatthoftparts were dilated withacjrtaiuftinkingmoifture, and that the Neck ofthe Womb appeared much larger , then it was wont to be at other times. And therefore no man need to wonder at that, whichhathbeen obferved by fome Writers of our age, that in the time of their courfes thefe parts have been fo widened in fome, that being new married, although they were true Virgins, they have for this reafon been accufed, and thought to have been defloured. Wherefore if it happen, that any,who are new married, doubt of their Wnes virginity, becaufethey find the privy paffage very wide, it will behove them to conlider, whether their flowres were not at that time upon them.Now at length the remainder of the inner Iliacall Trunk makes to the Share bone, and taking to it a propagation of the outer ilia- call, together with which it makes one vein, and fo paffing through the feritoncum, and holeoftheShare-bone, it fpreads itfelf into the Leg,and is extended almoft beyond the middle of theThigh on the infide. _ j r n r n .t .. u- u From the outer branch in like manner fome veins ilTue : and firft o f all, that which is called EmaMca, or vein ofthe lower Belly [9] which arifes from the higher part of t^ branch, and is fo named, becaufc it goes to the Mufclcs of thc lf igaftuurn, to wit, the right Mufcles of the Abdomen, For palTing with its chief branch out ofthe Peritoneum or Rim ofthe Belly, it climbs ftraight up of both fides under the right Murcle,till it come near to the Navill, where it is joined by Anajiomofts with the dcfcending Maminary-vcins. But tWii Anaflmofis or Inoculation is fcldom found in men, but in Women it is very confpicuous, from whence alfo Galen Lib. de VijfeCî.ven. & Arter. 8. witncm^ that that great fympathy betwixt the Womb and theBreaftsor Dugs is caufed by thefe two vefTels. But the moft kuvncd Hiff ocrâtes has explained this fympathy in many Apho- rifms ofthe fifth SeRion. For in the fiftieth Aphorifm he fayes. If you would flop the courfes in a woman, apply a very great Cupping-glaffe to her Breafts. And in the thirty feventh. If the Breafts of a great bellied woman, do of a fodain become fniall, the child proves Abortive. And in the thirty eight ; If one of tlie Breafts of a great bellyed wo¬ man become fmall, one of the Twins, that (he goes with, proves Abortive^ and that a Male, if the right Brcaft be fmall 5 a Female, it the left : fo the Womb being dileafed, the Nipples becoiae pale ; and upon a Dropfic in the Wotnb they fwe 1 up. But there is a fympathy alfo not only by reafon ofthe veins, but alfo ofthe Nerves, that come from the fixth Conjugation. Whence we fee, that if the Breafts of a Woman, or Virgin be handled, they arc provoked to luft 5 fo that tor this reafon alfo thofe women, that have great Breafts may be accounted more luftfull, as Afra is in Martiali. But it is con^ni- fnt to note concerning the originali of this vein, that very often it arifes out ofthe Cru¬ ral! branch, which we (hall by and by deferibe, but oftner out of ^e Iliacall. Another .vein is the Pudenda fi i3 which arifes from the infide ofthe outer Iliacall branch, after it ÎS come out of the Pmtone«w, or Rim ofthe Belly, and it is called becaufc it 1$ {pent upon the privities of both Sexes. For in men it is diftributed into the Scrotm ot: Cod, and into the skin ofthe Yard ; but in women it is propagated to the Lips and skm ofthe privy paffage, to the Nympb-î or wings, and other parts ot it 5 but in both men and women to the Glandules, that lye about the leskes, whence arifes that contiuxe of matter into thefe Glandules, in a peftilent or venercous Bubo. LaftN,the M«Jr«/4 inferior, or lower Mufclc-vein [12] is that, which goes ta the joint of the Hip, and is diffeminated into the skin, and Mufcles thereabout, by reafon whereof in my judgment by a ftrifter Appellation it might be better called Coxendica, or Coxalis, the Hip- Tcin.

The Hiftory whereof that we may deliver in an cafie method,wc will divide it into Trunk, and Branches. But before the Trunk be cleft into its branches, it fhoots out four propagations ; the firft of which is that they call Saphena, L* 3J andvem of the inner Ankle, becaufc it runs near thereunto i it is alfo commonly called by Phyfiti- ans venatali, but improperly, as wc have faid above in our firft Book.But it arifes roni the inner fide ofthe Trunk, prefently after its departure out of the Peritoneum, or rim of the Belly, and hiving no Artery for its companion, runs ftraight downwards
