    The inner branch. alone the Kadiw\ or leffer bone of the cubit ( whence 1 call it ) and goes direajy to the wrift. in which place Phyfitians feel the pulfc * it being very manifeft, by reafon that the ar lery lies next under the skin. But net far from the root of the wrift ic (hoots out a little branch f o ] which runs under the tendons of the mufcles, which extend the thumbj into the outlidc of the hand, and is fpent upon the mufcles, which are placed betwixt the hrftbone of the thumb, and that oftheafter-wrift, which fupports the fore-finger. This branch being propagated, going under the inner annular ligament of the wrift, and the broad tendon ofthe palm-mufcle, it is divided into three branches [ ppp] like the vein, and nerve, that are its companions. Thcfirft of thefe goes to the infide ot the thumb, the fécond to the infide of the fore-finger, and the third tothat of themiddle.Thc firft,and fécond are each of them parted into two brancheSj the third is undivided. The inner brstteb ofthe trunk ofthe arm [ 13 runs ftraight along the «/«-a or greater bone of thecubit ( and for that reafon I call ic Cuhitetu ) and is difpcrled into the palm of the hand. But it is fo hidden among the mufcles, that it is hardly perceived to beat, unlelfe in lean folkcs j and therefore Phyfitians alwaics lay their hands upon the outer branch,when they feel the pulfe inthewrilf/ Butitpaflesonunder the tranfverfc ligament ofthe wrift, and the tendon of the palm-inufcle, in company ofaveinjand nerve, and featters two branches intoihclittlc finger, as many into the ring-finger,and one into the outfide of the middle. CHAP. III. Shetves the Inferiour er I>efctndent Trunk of the great arteryj andthe fropagationthereof through the middle and lotvefi bellies. EE havefaid above, that the great artery [Alas foonasit has gotten above the Pcrkarditim or purfe ofthe heart,» divided [Bl into wo branche «of which one goes upward, the other defeends to the parts below. Wchavc already handled -the upper branch; it remains that wee explain the other alfo. nc D.fcen. The Dcfcendent trunk thérefote ftockof atree, la dent trunk. carried down to the fifth rack-bone of the cheft,and declining fomewbat to the left, cleaves Its ptogreffe. to that fide of the body of the rack-bones, and fo defeends l®i*urcly. When it has now paft the midriffc through that divifion refembling a femi-circle,which is betwixt the produaions ofthe feptutn tranfverfitm or midriftb,prefen tly it runs out by the rack-bones of the loins, Ica- Bingupon thcmiddleoftheir body,tilit cometo the laft of them,whcre near totkcos faernm it is dividedralinto two notable branches[SS]which with other Anatomifts we wil cal i/w- ci the Iliacal arteries from their fituation.In this journey it featters many propagations from it felf,which are very worthy to be diligently obferved,bccaufc from thence we may eahly give 1« proiMeaii. a reafon ofmany accidents indifeafes. Butthey are in namber eight.theIntercoftalarten», ens. the two PwMfM or arteries ofthe midriffe, the Cœliacall one,then theupperMrfentericl^the two Emulfients, as many fpermaticall ones, at laft the lower Mefenterick, and the Lumbarts, or artericsof the loins. Of thefe the Intercoftalls are fcattcred,whilft the trunk is yet in the cheft-thereft, whilfl: it pafles on through the loweft belly .But fomcofthem accompany tw branches ofthe gate-vein, as the Cceliacall,and both the Mefentericall arteri.cs;othcrs thofe of the hollovy vein, as the reft. Now we will treat of thefe in order, ^ginning “Oni the Intercoftalls, or arteries between the ribs, which are placed uppermoft.^ Pr€fcntly there¬ fore after the Defcendent trunk [dl is iflued forth, from its back-fide it fends over little branches on both fides to the diftanccs ofthe eight lower ribs, which they call Intercopks JnierceOiles in- inferior es ^ the lower arteries between the fibs [ u u u ] in refpeft of the upper Intercoftall, of /”,Uthc ». which we have fpoke above. Thefe alloeiating themfelves with the veins and nerves of the icrics between faujg ijjiije goftraightou by the lower fide of the ribs; where peculiar or charmells the lower ribs. cut out for them. But as the Intercoftall veins reach in thetrueribs only to thegriftlc», but in the baftard ones fomewhat farther, to wit, to the fides of the abdomen : fo alfo the ar¬ teries end in them together with the bony part of the ribs, but in th efe run out a little tar- ther. And thefe arteries fend over fome propagations through the holes of the nerves to tne fpinall marrow, and to the mufcles that lie upon the tack-^ncs ofthe jaft as we have faid the Intercoftall veins were propagated. But the ufe of them is to diffufc the vitall Ipirlt, and the blood to the mufcles betwixt the ribs, befides which they have alfo another notable Gffice,to wit, of carryingdownthe Water, and purulent matter, that is gat ere toKt crin thecheft, into the great artery, and from thence by the Emulgent branches to the bladder. Although I am not ignorant that the moft learned FaJIopm, and others who nave read fore me in this moft famous Univerfity olFainay have (hewn another way w their Audi¬ tors* by which either purulent matter, or water might bcconvcighcd forth by help o1 the kidneys, to wit, the vcin^w/'ari, or without a companion, a little branch whereof in the Their ufe.
