    But the outer and lefTe branch [n] of the Crurall-vein goes from that dmfion of the outer branch, which is made near the Ham, to the upper A^^cndixo'i the fibula, as alio to the outetjand hinder part of the where Icattering many little branches, it goes to the outer Ankle,and at laft ends in the Foot. ^ And this is the univerfall Hiftory of the Hollow and Gate-veins, wherein we have perfefted the whole courle of their diftributions. It feems yet to remain, that we Ipeak of the Umbilicali, and Artcrious veins. Butbccaufe the Umbilicali vein is nothing clfe but a more notable propagation iflliing out of the Gate-vein ; and in a man grown performs the office of a Ligament, rather then a vein; bccaule it keeps the Liver in its^ places as the fto ries of them do witneffie, who upon the cutting off, or wounding ot the Navill, have fodainly dyed, their refpiration being hindred by .the weight ot the Liver falling out of its place, and putting down the Diaphragma or Midrifte with it j we thought it not worth our pains to make any more mention of it in this place. But if any one will obffinately contend that it is a peculiar vein with arguments fetcht out of his own Brain, we know no better counfell, that we can give him, then to conlult better with his own fenfe, or if he will contend further, to purge his Head with Hellebore, that that dimnefle of his Eye-fight may be a little taken away. But we ftiall with more convenience make mention of the Fena Arteriofa^ or Arteriall-vein,in the following Book, when we ffiall explain the Hiftory ofthe Arteria vemja,or venall Artery, becaufe they are very like one another, and therefore the lame pains may ferve them both.
