in small Wine and let the Diet be moderate but in no wise let Vinegar be used therewith nor upon any other occasion And in so observing the Humours will be dilated dissipated and transfused by which means the Complexion will return and the Body be lively and full of vigour And now since Barrenness daily occasions discontent and that discontent creates difference between Man and Wife or by immoderate grief frequently easts the Woman into one or other violent Distemper I shall somewhat largely treat thereof This defect comes divers ways but most commonly through the defect of the Genitals Vessels Blood or Menstrum and of these I shall discourse in their order and then proceed to mention other matters Relating to the same subject The defect then in the Genitals frequently happens in Women through the strict closure of the mouth of the Womb which by that means denies the Seed entrance or through the narrowness of the parts or share-bone that will not admit the Yard entrance or many times by reason of some Ulcers of excrecencies in the neck of the Womb to which may be added the defect of the Seed by reason of some Distemper in the Generative Vessels which the Woman may perceive by the little or no satisfaction she receives in the act of copulation sometimes again Children are wanting when the Woman being too young her Courses are not come down or that she is so old they cease to flow For t is the opinion of the Learned that when the Courses are wanting the Man labours in vain and further it may be attributed to the want of Seed when there is not a due proportion of either Party or when by reason of some cold moist Humours flowing into the Womb it loseth it's attractive force and cannot draw the Seed to its proper place or station Now if the Orifice of the Womb be closed that the Seed cannot enter it must be opened by incision or rather the two wings or Nymphae which many times extend themselves over the Clytoris so far that the Yard cannot pass the neck of the Womb and subject to this defect in Nature are many Women especially in hot Countries but most of all in Egypt where the Chyrurgeons are forced with Silver Instruments to make way for the Instrument of Generation a thing not altogether unpracticable in England In case the neck of the Womb be so strait that the Yard cannot enter then is the case to be inquired into whether it be naturally so or proceed from some swelling or Schirrhus either within or without and if any such thing appears it is for the most part incureable but if it be a natural straitness then supple it with a Tent dipped in Oyl of Roses and the white of Eggs and drink Chamomile Posser sweetned with Sugar-Candia morning and evening and by the operation thereof the Womb which is of a reaching quality will in all parts distend and give way to the Instrument of Generation or if it so happen in a young Woman Nature will increase the passage and time produce things fitting to their mutual Satisfaction but let no man by violence endeavour in attempting Copulation to force the Passage lest he break the Vessels nay indanger the Bladder it self which has been broke with such violent Intrusion and so cost the Woman her life If the neck of the Womb be ulcerated or any Excresenses happen there which equally hinder Copulation then may they be known by the pain and shooting upon the least compressure and the issuing forth of putrid Humours and sometimes Blood if the Ulcers be great and the Terms flow the Water hot pains arising in the fore part of the Head and oftentimes they occasion gentle Fevers And these Obstructions of Generation happen divers ways as from external causes viz. Rash Physick hard Labour or excessive Copulation from internal causes as the Corruption of the Secundine the Courses too long retained or obstructed heat and overflowing of the Urinal Vessels Virulent Gonorrhaeas Pox Inflammation turned into Apostume Humours flowing from divers parts of the Body and setling there all which must be duely considered Now some are in the outward part and may be the easier come at and external plications as are most convenient applied thereto but those that cannot be come at must be cured if possible by injection the best injection in this case is as follows viz. Break four Eggs and take the Whites only the which beat with an equal quantity of Rose-water mingled with Plantain-water Litherage of Gold Camphire Bole-Armonick Ceruse of each a dram half a dram of Green Copperas all which well beaten dissolved and mixed together strained through a fine Cloath and with a Syrringe inject it Morning and Evening till the grief cease and if it smart that it cannot be well endured you may sometimes inject warm Milk to cleanse the puttified matter Others there are that are not so violent and therefore admit of any easie Cure n●t being so deep known by a putrid Greenish matter that flows from them To cure this take Water wherein Barley has been boiled Honey of Roses new Milk and Sugar with the decoction of Lentils and after them gentle Astringents must be applied Some again are sordid having much contagious Humour flowing from them to cure which stronger Medicaments must be applied others there are that eat into the Flesh having a green Contagion flowing from them to cleanse which Aloes and Wormwood concocted in white Wine are most requisite Another sort of Ulcers there are which appear long cating away the skin from off the Neck of the Wood and are discerned by the Blood and pain the occasion immediatly upon the concression appearing in the Neck of the Womb much like Chilblains occasioned by ill lying extraordinary Venery by violent inflammation or flux of sharp humours The best cureafter a gentle purge is an astringent Glyster and after that to anoint them with the Grease that fryes out of a Ladle often used in a Kitchen when it is held to the fire mixed with an oyntment called Pomarum if the defect be in the Seed through tenderness of age in the Woman so that her menstrual Blood not coming down flow not to it then the best remedy is convenient diet moderate exercise and temperate Air together with patience in the main till nature in process of time operates so effectually that all things appear and conspire to mutual satisfaction If the Woman be stricten in years and it cease to be with her after the Custom of Women that is her Courses are stayed which in some happens sooner and in some later and between 44 and 55 with all them unless strong preparatives viz. an Extraordinary diet easie longing and moderate exercise restore them those Woman must despair of further Generation for as the learned in this Art frequently observe where there is neither Buds nor Blossoms there can to no Fruit. If any obstruction happen in the Vessels of Generation

moisture in supplying which large Vessels are altogether necessary Another cause of the longness of these Vessels there is viz. By reason the monthly Courses have their way through them which often occasions Women with Child to continue their purgations for although the Womb is shut up yet the passage in the Neck of the womb through which these Vessels pass are open In this cause there is further to be observed that as soon as you penetrate the Female Siffure or pudendum there appear two little pits or holes wherein is contained a contract humour which by being expugned in time of Copulation greatly delights the Woman CHAP. XIV A description of the Wombs Fabrick the preparing Vessels and Tisticles in Women as also of the different or Ejaculatory Vessels IN the lower part of the Hypogastrion where the Lips are widest and broadest they being greater and broader thereabouts then those of Men which is the reason they have likewise broader Buttocks then men is the womb joyned to its Neck and is placed between the Bladder and the streight Gut which keep it from swaying or rowling yet give it liberty to stretch and delate it self and again to contract as nature in that cause disposes it Its figure is in a manner round and not unlike a Gourd lessening a little and growing more acute toward one end the bottom being knit together by its proper Ligaments its Neck likewise is joyn'd by its own substance certain membranes that fasten it to Os Sacrum and the Share-bone As to its largeness that much differs in women especially the difference is great between such as have born Children and those that have born none In substance it is so thick that it exceeds a Thumbs breadth which after Conception is so far from decreasing that it augments to a greater proportion and the more to strengthen and confirm it it is interwoven with Fibres overthwart strait and winding and its proper Vessels are Veins Arteries and Nerves and amongst these are two little Veins which pass from the Spermatick Vessels to the bettom of the Womb and two larger from the Hypogastricks which visit both the bottom and the Neck the mouth of these veins piercing as far as the inward concavity in which place the extremities of them are called Acetabula which when the Courses flow open themselves and evacuate the eflux of Blood and therefore they are the more conspicuous in Women with Child that part called the Liver of the Womb being joyned to them the better to extract Blood for the Childs nourishment at which time their veins do so swell especially near their time of delivery that they equal in bigness the Emulgent veins or appear half as thick as the hollow Veins The Womb hath also two Arteries on ●oth sides the spermatick Vessels and the Hypogasticks which still attend or accompany the Veins and besides these there are divers little Nerves knit and intwined in the form of a Net which extend throughout even from the bottom to the Privities themselves being chiefly placed for sense and pleasure moving in Sympathy between the Head and the Womb. Now it is to be further noted that by reason of two Ligaments that hang on either side the Womb from the share-bone and piercing through the Peritonaeum and are joyned to the bone it self that the Womb is movable upon sundry occasions often salling low or rising high as for the Neck of the Womb it is of an exquisit feeling so that if it be any time out of order by being troubled with a schirous brawn over-fatness moisture or relaxation the Womb is subjected thereby to Barrenness In those that are with Child there frequently stayes a most glutenous matter in the enterance to facilitate the Birth for at the time of delivery the mouth of the Womb is opened in a strange manner to such a wideness as is conformable to the bigness of the Child suffering an equal dilatation from the bottom to the top As for the preparatory of Spermatick Vessels in VVomen they consist of 2 veins and 2 arteries not differing from those in a Man but only in their largeness manner of insertion for as for their number there are so many Veins and the like proportion of Arteries as in men the right vein issuing from the trunk of the hollow vein descending the left from the Emulgent vein and on the side of them are two Arteries which grows from the Aorta and bring vital Blood for the accomplishment of the work of Generation As to the Longitude and Latitude of these Vessels they are narrow and shorter in women than in men only observe where they are wrinkled or crumpled they are more wreathed and contorted than in men as shrinking together by reason of their shortness they may by their loosness be the better stretched out when occasion requires it and that by their drawing up as it were the Blood might stay there in greater quantity for the preparation of the Seed And these Vessels in Women are carried with an oblique Course through the lesser Guts to the Testicles or Stones but are in the mid-way divided into two Branches the greater going to the Stones constituting the various or winding Body and wonderful Inoculation the lesser Branch ending in the Womb in the side of which it disperseth it self and chiefly at the higher part of the bottom of the Womb for the nourishment thereof as also of the Child and that part of the Courses may purge through these Vessels and feeing the Stones in Women are seated near the Womb for that cause these Vessels fall not from the Peritonaeum neither make they such Passages as in Men nor extend themselves to the Share-bone The Stones in Women commonly called the Testicles altho' they perform the same Action as mens if rightly considered yet are they different in their situation magnitude temperament substance form and covering As for their seat it is in the hollowness of the Abdomen neither are they Externally pendulous but rest upon the Muscles of the Loyns that so they may by contracting the greater heat be more Fruitful their Office being to contract and elaborate that matter which in conjunction with Mans Seed ingenders Man yet they differ from those of Men in figure by reason of their lessness and flatness at either end not being so round nor Oval The external Superficies being likewise more unequal appearing like the composition of a great many knots and kernels mixed together there is also another difference in their substance they being much more soft and plyable loose and not so well compacted Their magnitude and temperament being also different for they are much colder and lesser than those in Men by reason of which a thinner and feebler Seed is contracted by one Sex then by the other as for their covering or inclosure it likewise differs extreamly for as Mens are wraped or covered in divers Tunicles by reason they are externally Pendulous and subject to divers
