    ^Stomach, as that, by which they arc conveyed to the ts. , This fame branch alfo, it you adde the two Mefcntcricks, is the feat of^hc hypo- chondnacall Melancholy. For this difeale arifing from the o-bftruaion of the entrails JVmncîrwMclfihrt? bdly,it is necefliry that the arteries here (hould fuffer ve- ^ m r ^7^ptomes,that happen in this difeafc,mayfufficientiT inform us the upper Artery of theMefcntery [y] arifes alittlebelow the Coe- 4. ,call,being diUnbutcd like the xMelcraick vein(which is its companionJ with numerous yi- pi opagations into the Guts called Ilium and Jejunum,2.S alfo that i;cgion of the Colon which reaches from the Hollow ot the Liver as far as the right Kidney, àndfofor the moll part into the upper part of the Mcfentery. In which place it is to be obferved, that the Artery a Kf fometimcs ks upon the vein, fonietimes on the contrary the vein upo^ the Artery, ania/ ^’*^* fo IS carried betwixt both the Membranes of the MefenteJy.But thefe Arteries in many pla¬ ces in the Mcfentei y have Glandules,which were made for the free perfpiration ofthevef- a wilt^ Arteries,whereby it comes to pafl'e,that thefe Glandules labour- body follow^th^rmpn.'^'' oftho whole TIieEmulgent arteries [z] are two, one the right,another the left one. Both ilTue out » under the foremcntioncd Artery, wkere the firft, and fécond Rack-bones of the loins are coupled togyher by the Ligament. But they arife out of either fide of the Trunk, S! thoiigh not direftly over againft one another,as alfo it is in the Emulgent veins, the right ' Thefe Arteries,when they come to the Kidney,are cleft into ^ o branches, with which they arc infcrtcd into the finuf or channels of the cavity of the ® in an infinite number of little fprigs upon their gr«^pIcmyTn IheA«t'cf ' TWr.f., M arc likewife two, which arife out of the fore- ^ part ot the Trunk of the great Artery, their originals touching eachothbr; for the left Artery imies not from the Emulgent, as the left fpermaticall vein does. Afterward ' in their delcent th ey are made faft to the veins of their own fide, and in men are carried through the procctTcs of the Peritoneum or Rim of the Belly to the Tefticlesfout in women, when they come fomcwlut near to the Têftîcles, they arc divided into two parts, one of which 18 carried to the Tcfticles, the other to tlic bottom of the womb. But the arteries do fo come that they only water it at the fides- and pierce not at all into the inner parts of it.Which truly came to pafle by the great providence of wifeft nature,fince ic had not been fo fafe to have brought them down to the inner furface of the womb, by reafon that in the coming forth of the child very great iffiiings of bloud would be caukd to no fmall danger of the woman in Child-bcd,if the Arteries had been an- nejcedto the Womb on the infide.Hcncc alfo it is,that in the time of delivery they flow by iittie and little, not rufhing down with violence. ^ Mejenterica Merior,tht lower Artery of the Mcfentery [5],arifes near to the Os faerm. or 7. great bone, a little above the divifion of the Trunk into the Iliacall hanches, and goes into the left fide of the 0/o«, and into thc'ftrait gut, defeending with the hæmorrhoidallT^''* veins to the very end of the Fundament, and making the hasmorrhoidall Arteries. It is quclhoncd concerning the ufe of both the Mefentcricks, whether befides the common.thcv have any peculiar one. For Galen in his 4. of the uft of the parts, ftems to make mention In ufe, ot lome other w hen he would have feme part of the chylus to be attraRed by them. And in the book, whether blond be contained in the Arteries, in the fifth Chapter, he fayes-• - T «7!?^ the loweft be ly, and the inner membrane, we ftiall plainly fee the Artiics . in the Mefcntery filled with milk in Kids newly yeaned, but in living creatures that arc grown,mll ot fomething clft. In which words Anatomicall experience teaches us,that not oncly the Mefaraick veins, but Arteries alfo do manifcftly draw the chylus to them. Which being fo indeed, it is altogether to be bclcevcd, that the chylus is either afterward tranf- ported by them into the veins, or elfe turned into blond by the Arteries thcmfelvcs.Nor will this feem wonderftil to any one who fhall confidcr alfo that the mothers bloud is con¬ veyed through the Umbilicali Arteries to the child,whilcft it is yet ftiut up in the Womb. But ifthcbloudwhichisrcceivcdby the veins ought yet to be better worked, as any di¬ ligent inquirer into nature will conclude it ought ; truly that which is received by the Arteries will require to be fo much the more cxaftly laboured, by how much the hetter it is, then that of the veins. But it is fo laboured in the Arteries thcmfelves, andin the Spleen, being haled into the Cœliacall Artery,and carried to the Spleen. And this ' is an excellent ufe of the Mcfcntcrick Arteries, wbilcfl a man enjoyes perfeft health befides which wee will addc another alfo, as often as he leaves to be in health! For theft Aiterics take to them the excrements of the whole body, that they may car¬ ry them down to the Guts, in like manner as the veins do, by which nature doth both attraft the chylus, and likewift cxpell the noifome humors out of the body, as cholcr, phlegm, and melancholy. Choler is thus expelled oftentimes in continuall and inter¬ mitting cholcrick feavers, a folucion whereof follows by a looiheflê; Phlegm is fo E € e e a cxpelftd '|:i?
