But it is pre- (ently carried downward under the rim of the belly, to the thigh; lying upon the outfidc of the tendon of the firft bending mufcle of the thigh, to which when it is come, it fends out a propagation [ ta. i. 48. ] which runs out through the sÙn on the forepart of the far as to the joint of the knee, and there ends, and offers (lirclcs fta. i. 49.3 to the firft bending mulclc of the leg,as alio to the iccond and third,that extend the fame. 7be fécond nerve [ 1.1. jo. 1 arifes out of the fame complication, and below the firft . over againft the connexion of the third and fourth rack-bones of the loins. This together with the crurali vein, and artery, ( which arc the outer Iliacall branches ) defeends through the groin into the thigh, which w^ep it has attained to,prefcntly it iffues forth a notable propagation [ trf. i. 51.3 from its infide, lying upon thefafhena or vein of the inner ankle, on the forepart, all the way it goes under the skin through the inner parts of the cm to the great toe. But as the vein faphena it fclf diftributes fome fprigs in the way to the skin next to it, fo allb this nerve fends out many propagations, of which that is the chief [ f. i. 5 3.3 which it gives to the forefidc pfth? knee.

Tfcc third [ t. i. w. 5 6.3 grows out of the complication, under the fécond, over againft the conjunction of the fourth and fifth rack-bones of the loins. This nerve being carried down upon the fécond bending mufcle of the thigh, called Iliacm interntn, pafles through’ the hole ofthc lhare-bone, and affords propagations [ 1.1, 57.3 to the two mufclcs, that turn the thigh about,which they cal ObturatoreSythc ftoppers,to wit,of that faid hole,as alfo to the two mufclcs that ereft the yard, which arilc out of the bone of the hip. From thence like the two foregoing nerves, it defeends, and diftributes little nerves into the skin, that clothes the inner part of the thigh [t. i. 58.3 The remaining part[ t. i. 57.3 lies deep, the chief propagation whereof [t. i .6o.3is fpcntpartly on the fécond, partly on the third mufcle that bend the leg. Jhe fourth nerve [ t. i. k. <51.3 is made up out of the fore-branches of the four upper pairs ihe fourth, of the great bone being united together. By rcafon whereof it pafles the reft, yea and all the nerves of the whole body, not only in thicknefle, but in hardneffe alfo, as being madeofthelaft, that iffue out of the fpiné, or ridge. This enters into the hinder part of the thigh through the cavity, that is in the hinder part ofthc hip-bone. But prefently it fends forth a notable propagation [t. i. 62.3 from its back-fide, which flay es a pretty while under the firft extending mufcle of the thigh, or Glutaus magnus, the great buttock- mufclc, and from thence is difperfed into the skin that covers the buttocks, and the back- fide of the thigh to the middleofits length.Then it fends other propagations [ta.i.ô^.'f on both fidcs, three for the moftparttothe heads of the third, fourth, and fifth mufcles that extend the leg, and to the third bending one of the thigh. After this the trunk of the nerve defeends among the mufclcs fcated ©U hjnder part of the thigh, near to the bone, as far as half the length thereof, and diftrijwta another branch [ f. i. 64. ] to that -phe progreffe flcfhy lump of the fifth bending mufcle of tbe leg, ç^ll^f^içe^s, which grows to it on the of the trank.
