    Concerning the Nerver. Tr act.^» The fourth ricd under the faid mufcle that bends the thigh, as alfo under the os fubU, or ftiatt-bone , accompanies the Crurjill vein and artery. i i u •The fifth and laft pair [t. i.n. 24.] Iffucs out betwixt the fourth and fifth rack-bone»i the fore-branch whereof paflTes through the hole which is betwixt the hip-bonc,the oj fub^, or fhare-bone, and the os Ilium or hanch-bone, and diftributes fomc propagations to the two mufcles that turn the thigh about, called Obturstores, others to the fécond and third bending ones of the thigh, and others to the mufcles of the yard. ‘ïhe hinder branch goes ' into the mufcles, and skin upon the rack bones. CHAP. V. Concerawg the nertjes of thewrtrtosv of os facrum^r f^^ great bone. Aft of all from the marrow which is contained in the rack-bones of the os fa* crumj the fix laft pairs of the nerves of the fpinall marrow do ilîùe forth. Jbe firjl of thefe [ 1.1. m. 25. ] goes out betwixt the laft rack-bonc of the loins , and the firft of the great or holy bone, in the verjr^c manner as the reft,that arife out of the rack-bones of the loins, and likewife after the fame fort is di¬ vided into two branches. Tfce fore-branch although it be mixed with the crurali nerves,fends vet a fiircle f t* ' • 43 • 1 inner region of os Ilium, and is dilperlid into the mufcles of the abdomen, and into the fécond bending one of the thigh. The hinder ft 2. f 1. «. 44*1 is difleminated into the mufcles that arife from the os Ilium or hanch- bonc, and eibecially into the firft of them, that extend the thigh, or the greate^r Clutasts, as alfo into the skin of the buttocks. /- < l r r The ether fi've pairs have fomething proper to thcmfelvcsi fo that before they go out of the bone they are every of them double on each fide, and fo from every one of them a double branch is carried on each fide, one to the forepart, another to the hinder. The three uppermoft of the fore-branches, as that of the firft pair alfo, go to the Crus or parts ofthe body below the buttocks : the two loweft go into the mufcles of the fondaient and bladder;and in women to the neck of the womb, in men to the yard ; but in both fexes to the outer privy parts. The hinder branches are diftnbuted to the mufcles feated on the backfide of the bones Ilium, and facrum. Of this fort are the firft and third extending mufcles of thecheft, or Dor ft longi fimus, the long mufcle ofthe back, and fmolumbiu, that which bends the loins, called/<<cer, and the broad mufcle that leads the arm away from the breaftj as alfo the three which extend the thigh, being the authors of the buttocks, and therefore called glut<ei the buttock-mulcles. And^this is the utmoft end ofthe fpinall marrow, which reaching into the rump-bone, called os coccygis n in this manner terminated : And this is the hiftory of the thirty pairs ofthe nerves which go out ofthe fpinall marrow,which is diligently and accurately to be committed to the memory, that we may know to what place remedies ought to be applyed, if at any time from fome externall caufe,l'as by a fall from aloft, or a bruife,or fome notable compreflion,any pa^t ftall have loft either motion, or fenfe, or both. Fôr the remedies muft be applyed alwaies to the beginning of that nerve,not to the plaec,in which the fymptome is perceived. C H A P<
