    ]y reckoned, vi%. the proper fubftance(fetting alide the other fimilar parts,Veinsj Arteries, &c.) ofthe Brain, longue. Lungs, Heart, Liver, Gall-bladder, Spleen, Stomach, Gats, Kid¬ neys, Ureters, Pifs-bladder, Womb, Yard, Stones, Mufcles, Kernels. But it is in Vain for him to reckon thefe parts as new : for all in a manner are comprehended under Flefn. For according to Hippocrates and Galen, there is a fleih ofthe Mufcles, and a fleih of the Bowels, and a fleih of the Glandules cr Kernels. But in another palce Galen propounds a threefold flefn. i. In a Mufcle, which the Ancients did only cal Fleih. 2. The Parenchyma, or proper fubftance of the Liver, Heart, Kidneys, See. 3. In the Stomach, Bladder, Veins. 4. In the Bones, though improperly. Whence we may gather four forts of Fleih. 1. Mufculous flefn, which Galen frequently many terms Fibrous fleih, and it is foft and red and properly termed fleih. And in Hippocrates his ^ts , Language, by fleih many times is ment the Mufcles. 2. Vifcerous fleih or the fleih of'the t^rg m ? Bowels. Erafijlratus cals it Parenchyma or an Aftufion of blood 5 Galen cals it Similar and Ample fleih,. which /imports the Veflels of the bowels, fills up the empty fpaces, and performs the Adion. 3. Membranous fleih, or the flelhy fubftance of every Membranous part, as in the Gullet, Stomach, Guts, Womb, bladder. 4. Glandulous fleih, or the fleih of Kernels, ■which ferves. 1. For to fupport the divifions of Veflels. 2. To drink up fuperfluous humors, especially wheyilh humors, becaufe the Kernels are of an hollow Spungy fubftance; and there¬ fore they are vulgarly termed EmunPlories or Clenfers. Thole in the Neck being counted Clenfers of the Head; thofe in the Arm-pits, of the Heart; thofe in the Groyns of the Liver. . 3. To moiften the parts for their more eafie motion, or otherwife to prohibit drynefs. Such are thofe which are fituate by the Tongue, Larynx, Eye-corners, &c. But the finailar parts are reckoned to be ten : A bone, a Griftle, a Ligament, a Membrane, a Tie Number Fibre, a Nerve, an Artery, a Vein, Fleih and Skin. # :jw r of the Similar Of thefe fome are fimilar only in the judgment ofSenfe, as Veins, Arteries (fome add Mui- parts. des) others are limply and abfolutely fimilar. That Veins, Arteries, Nerves, Mufcles are not truly fimple and fimilar, hath been rightly taught by Anjlotle: for a Mufcle confifts of Fleih, Fibres, and a Tendon : Nerves are made up of the Dura and pja Mater, with Marrow: Arte¬ ries, of two different coats; the Veins of a coat f and of Fibres as fome will have it) and Valves. Simply and truly fimilar parts are Bones, Griftles, Ligaments, Membranes, Fibres, Fleih and Skin. To thefe fome add the Ureters, the Air implanted in the Ear, See. but in vain. For, 1. They are not parts common to the whole body, but proper to fome parts. 2. The implanted Air of the Ears, is nothing but an implanted fpirir, which cannot be reckoned among folid parts. _ . Here we are to obferve that all thefe parts are commonly divided, into Spermatical, Sanguine, Qxmixt. The Spermatical are made of feed, and fuch are the eight firft reckoned; which if they are cut jp)'}at a Sper* afunder, they breed not again, nor can they be truly united, but they are joyned together by a matical Callus in the middle, by reafon of defedf of matter and formative faculty, which afts not after js ; the Conformation of the Parts. _ The Sangume or flelhy Parts, contrary wife are bred again, becaufe they are fuppoled to be jtfhataSan- made ofBlood, as the Fleih. / guint Part. A mixt Part is the Skin, of which we lhall treat hereafter, in Book. I* Chap. 2. For feed and blood are commonly accounted the two general Principles of which we. are made : fo that in the Seed there is very little of the material principle, but much ofthe adtiye, but in the blood much of the material principle, and but a little and weak portion ofthe aftive or effective principle. The firft Rudiments and underwrap as it were of the parts, are Laid to be made of Seed i and the woofeor fuperftru&ure ofblood flowing in. But what the Truth is in Contradiction to this vulgar opinion, we have taught in our Anatomical Controverfes. For we are rather to hold, that the parts are at firft made only ofSeed, as oftheir matter; and that the Mothers blood doth nourilh, and encreafe and amplifie the Parts. The Skin in compan¬ ion to other Parts, hath an indifferent proportion ofSeed, not fo much as the Spermatical, nor fo little as the Sanguinary parts. The Compound or dijjimilar Parts are, thofe which may be divided into divers unlike parts, a diffi- as an Hand cannot be cut into other Hands, but into Bones, Mufcles, Veins, &c. The dil- mnarpart is ? fimilar parts are by the Phylolopher called Members: but they are vulgarly termed Organical or inftrumental parts. Now in every Organ, there are for the moft part, four kinds of parts. For example fake, Organical in the Eye there is, 1. That part by which the aCtion, vi%. Seeing is performed, namely the^r/fi Chryftalline Humor. 2. That without which it cannot be performed, as the Optick Nerve. 3. That by which it is the better performed, as the Coats and Mufcles of the Eyes. 4* Lhat by which the aftion is preferved, as the Eye-lids, &c. . And becaufe the Diffimilar parts are more or lefs Compounded, they are divided into four degrees or ranks. The 1. Is fuch as are fimilar to the fenfe, as a Mufcle, Vein, Artery. The 2. Is made oftnc former and the reft of the fimilars, as a Fiager. The 3. is compounded of the fecond, as an Hand, Foot, Sec. The 4. Is compounded ofthe third, as an Arm or Leg. Finally the Body is divided, into its greateft Members, as by fome into the Head, Cheft, Belly The mop Copl¬ and Bladder; by others as Arijlotle, Bjiffus and Oribajius into the Head, Neck, Cheft (under venient divfi- thev comprehend the lower Belly) and therefore Hippocrates placed the J^iver in the Cheft] the on of the whole
