    ' The tirft Nerve then Uaki.^O.! grows out of the higher part of the Nct-like complication The fitft where the third Nerve ot the loins is joined with the fourth [taki .47*1 prefcntly carried downward under the rinn of the belly, to the thigh » lying upon the outlide of the tendon or the firft bending tnufcle of the thigh, to which when it is come, it fends out a propagation 4^-J which runs out through the skin on the fore-part of the thigh, as far as to the joint of the knee, and there ends, and affords furcles \jab. i .4^.3 to the firft bending mufclc of the leg, as alfo to the econ The fecond Nerve .50.] 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 crural Vein and Artery, (which are the outer Iliacal branches) defeends through the groin into the thigh, which when it hath attained to, prefently it ilTues forth a notable propagation i.J from its inhdc, lying upon ihefaphena or vein of the inner ankle, on the fore-part,_ all the way it goes under the skin through the inner parts of the crus to the great toe. But as the vein faphena it felf diftributw tome fprigs in the way to the skin next to it, fo alfo this Nerve fends out many propagations, that is the chief [t^^.i.53.] which it gives tothe fore-fide of the knee. But the trunk it felf ' <4.1 when it hath fent out this propagation, paffes together with the trunk of the crural Vein and Artery into the thigh, and is fcattered into the mufcles feated on the infid e of the thigh, elpccia y [t^^.i.55.] into the, third bending one of the thigh, and the fourth extending one of the leg, and (o afterward it is terminated above the knee. , ^ , • n. l • The third [tab.i.n.Ke.l grows out of the complication under thefecond, over againft theconjun- Thetmra. dlion of the tourth and fitth rack-bones of the loins. This Nerve being carried down upon the fe¬ cond bending mufcle of the thigh, called Iliacm interrm^ palfes through the hole of the (hare-bone, and affords propagations [tab.i. 57] tothe twomufcles that turn the thigh abou^ wh^h they call Obntratores, the (toppers, to wit, of that (aid hole, as alfo to the two mufcles that cred the Yard, which arife out of the bone of the hip. From thence like the two foregoing Nervp, it defeends and di- ftributes little Nerves into the skin that cloths the inner part of the thigh Itakl. 5»J the remaining part [tab.i.‘)’j'] lies deep, the chief propagation whereof [tab.i.6oj is fpent partly on the lecond, partly on the third mufcle that bend the leg. , ^ t r • r .u the fourtlii The fourth Nerve is made up out of the fore-branches of the four upper pairs ot^ Tne tou ereat bone being united together. By reafon whereof it pafles the reft yea and a 1 the Ne^es of the whole body, not onely in thicknefs, but in hardnefs alfo, as being made of the laft, that iffue out of ^ the fpinc, or ridge. This enters into the hinder part of the thigh through the cavity that is in the hinder part of the hip-bone. But prefently it fends forth a notable propagation from its baeklide, which flays a pretty while under the firft extending mufcle of the thigh, or Glauus magnut the great buttock-mufcle, and from thence is difperfed into the skin tliat covers the buttocks, and the back-Cde of the thigh to the middle of its ength. Then it fends other propagations [tui.i. £}] on both fides, three for the moft part to the of the ^.rd, fourth and filth mufcles that extend the leg, and to the third bending one of the thig . e trunk; trunk of the nerve defeends among the mufcles feated the bone, as far as half the length thereof, and diftributes another branch Lt-ti. i-^4] lump of the fifth bending mufcle of the leg, called Biceps , which grows to it on the infidc, af”r it hath gone beyond the middle of the thigh. From hence alfo otha futcles proceed, which ' are dillributed into the skin on the baeklide of the thigh. But the trunk it felf pr^eeding farther at length attains to the the knee betwixt the two heads of the bone of the th.glj and imparts a fmk branch [lAi.65] oneachiide into the hrft extendrog mufcle of the foot, and the foie mufd^ cX Ptowrk and by and by is divided [tak i. dd] in the inner cavity of the knee or in the ham into two unequal branches which are diftributed along through the leg and foot. For there is no any Nerve which runs out through the leg, befides thefe two branches of the fourth, if you except onely that notable propagation, which being derived from the fecond Nerve, as we have faid, de- fcenL in company of Ae Vein Supkna through the inner part of the Cmr: The outer branch [(A I d7l is the fmallL, and goes toward that part where the upper appendix of the fibula, or ofthelegisioined with the tito or greater bone thereof, fcattering a propagation [tAi.dS] in the ly vvhihgoes to the outer ankle under the skin, diftribtiting m the 'f{f'f s-u/cUi'n Riit the branch it felf palfes between the mufcles feated on the forelide of the eg and gdng “thi long Ugamen^ of the libia .tii fibula, or two bones of the leg pafles to gedier wfth the tendons ol the mufcles that extend the toes under the tranlVetfe '‘gj Ictfes little branches to the f.des of the upper part of the toes. Themner branch [t^ car fled down through the backfide of the Crus, lurKing betwixt the mufcle of the foie oi jne toot, and ■ the Hrft of them that move the foot obliquely, as alfo the long,bending mufcles of the toes, and belg ohieraferwah^^^^^^^ branch of the outer, which pafles through the ligament it goes to L foie of the foot, and diftributes propagations into both the lides of the lower part of the toes.
