A Physicall Description of Man THe omnipotent and wise Creator having created all things out of nothing and out of a rude and undigested lumpe or masse according to his will and by his word brought all things into a decent frame and comely structure out of a confused nothing wrought the Heaven and the Earth out of that which was darke and voide he created light he seperated the Waters from the Earth and gave bounds to the unruly waves and indued the dry and barren Earth with a prolificall virtue richly adorning it with grasse hearbs and Fruit-Trees he made the Sun Moon and Stars to divide the light from the darknesse to enlighten and rule both day and night to be for signes to distinguish seasons dayes and yeares by his word he created every living thing that moveth in the Sea and in the Earth Having thus farr I say proceeded in his so excellent and admirable workmanship of Creation he made Man a Summary of the Worlds Fabrick a small draught of the Divine Nature he was made after other Creatures not only as the most perfect but as the super-intendent master of all things created Qui dominetur in pisces maris et in volucres coeli et in pecudes in universam terram atque in omnia reptilia reptantia super terram to rule over the Fish of the Sea and over the Foule of the Aire and over the Cattle and over the Earth and over every Creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth In man he closed up and ended his work on man he stamped his Seal and figne of his power on him he hath imprinted his image and superscription his armes and his portraiture Dixit deus Faciamus hominem ad imaginem nostram secundum similitudinem nostram God said Let us make man in our image after our liknesse In the Creation of man God seemeth to deliberate and take Counsell with himselfe how to epitomize and gather together all his works in so small a compasse to contract his so large book of Creation into so small a volume He is called the Microcosm or little World the recapitulation of all things the ligament of Angels Beasts Heavenly and Earthly spirituall and corporall things the perfection of the whole work the honour and miracle of nature He created him naked being a pure neat and delicate Creature made up of thin subtill well tempered and seasoned humours innocent and far more beautifull than the rest He was created upright but-little touching the Earth quite opposite to the vegetable Plant whose root is therein fixed far different also from the beast who is a meane between a Plant and himselfe and goeth downward his two extreames tending to the bounds of the Horizon This upright gate belongeth only unto man as the holiest and most Divine Creature his head tending to the Heavens on which he looks and there beholds himselfe as in a glasse according to that of Ovid. Os homini sublime dedit coelumque videre Jussit erectos ad sydera tollere vultus Which I English thus He gave man lofty looks and upright gate To view the Heav'ns and thereon contemplate His body being thus formed of pure subtill Earth as a house and habitation for the Soul God breathed in him the breath of Life and he became a living Creature So in the ordinary generation and formation which is made of the seed in the Womb nature observeth the selfe same order the body is first formed as well by the Elementary force which is in the seed and the heat of the matrix as by the Celestiall influence of the Sun according to the Adagy Sol homo generant hominem the Sun and Man do engender man which is don according to the opinion of most in such order that the first seaven dayes the seed of the man and woman mingle and curdle like cream which is the beginning of conception The second seaven days the seed is changed into a formlesse bloody substance and concocted into a thick and indigested masse of flesh the proper matter of the Child The next seaven days out of this Lump is produced and fashioned a grosse body with the three most noble parts viz the Liver Heart and Braine The fourth seaven days or neare thirty the whole body is ended perfected joynted and organized and becometh a body fit to entertaine the soul which invests it selfe into the body as some think about the seaven and thirtieth or fourtieth day at the third month or there abouts the Infant hath motion and sense at the ninth Month is brought forth These times cannot be so exactly prefixed but that by the strength or debility of the seed or matrix it may be either hastened or prolonged But I shall forbeare further discourse of the soul it not being my taske to act the part of a Divine and come to a more particular description of Man yet not so as to act the part of an Anatomist CHAP. II. A more particular description of the Body of Man THe body of man consists of above two hundred bones and as many Cartilages which are as the basis and upholding Pillars of the whole building the joynts are compacted with many Ligaments and cloathed with innumerable membranes the members are supplied with above thirty paire of sensitive Nerves as with little Cords and all besprinkled with as many arteries like water-pipes conveighing vitall spirits to all parts The empty places are filled up with almost four hundred Muscles and flesh of divers sorts as with flocks all covered over with skin In him are the temperament of all Creatures Some there are who have the stomack of an Ostrich others the Heart of a Lion too too many have the Heart of a Dog not a few conditioned like a Sow and many by nature very like to the Asse Man for whom all things was made is nourished by the Balsamick Spirits of Vegetables Animals and Mineralls and therefore doth consist of all these faculties that spring up as a token of health or sicknesse Balme Violets and Germander produce fruit in man viz the Spirits of the Heart Braine and Liver Likewise the nettle Aron and Crowfoot as Scabs Sores and Pushes Minerall seperations also may appeare in man of vitriall Allum Salt and Tartar c as the

leprosie Elephantiasis Morphew and Cancer Nor is man free from minerall Generations as Gold Silver Tin Copper Iron Lead The Heart the Brain Liver Reines Gall and Spleen In the body of man is likewise to be sound quarries of stone viz. in the Bladder and Kidneys which serve not to build but to destroy the Fabrick The Celestiall Planets hath a dukedome in this little world the moistuing powre of the Moon is represented by the marrow which flows from the Brain In the genitall part is Venus seated Eloquence and comlynesse is the effects of nimble witted Mercury the Sun hath a neare affinity to the Heart Benevolent Jupiter hath his seat in the Liver the Fountaine of nutritive Blood The fiery fury of Mars is lodged in the Gall the spungy and hollow Milt the seat and receptacle of melancholique humours is a perfect representation of the cold Planet Saturn Indeed the Spirits of the body do manifest and hold forth the quintessence of all things the four humours in man answer to the four Elements choler which is hot and dry representeth the fire hot and moist blood the aire flegme cold and moist the water cold and dry melancholly the Earth I may yet proceed further in declaring the harmony between the great and little World the belly of man may fitly represent the land or maine continent The Vena Cava the Mediteranean Sea the Bladder the Westerne Sea into which the Rivers of the body do all run discharge themselves his mouth answereth to the East quarter of the World his Fundament to the West his Navel to the South and his Back to the North The Body of Man you see is an admirable Creature The measure of all things the pattern of the universe and Epitome of the World The horizon of Corporeall and incorporeall things I shall conclude with the saying of Zoroastres O Man the workmanship of most powerfull nature for it is the most artificiall Master-piece of Gods hands CAAP. III. A Description of the Head THe Head of a man seemeth to offer it selfe as the first thing to be considered it doth possesse the highest place in the body and represents the uppermost and Angelicall region It is the fort of mans mind the seat of reason the habitation of Wisdome the shop of memory judgment and cogitations It containeth the Braine cold and spongeous by nature enclosed with two skinns the one more hard and thick joyning it selfe to the Braine Pan called Dura mater the other more thin and easie wherein lieth the Braine enclosed called pia mater it is soft and tender to the Braine and nourisheth it as a loving mother doth her yong and tender Babe From Pia mater doth issue the sinews and marrow that descendeth and falleth down into the Reines of the Back In the Brain is the seat and throne of the rationall Soul in which are a very great number of Veins and Arteries planted ramesying or branching themselves through all the substance thereof administring to the Brain both Spirit and Life vitall and nutrimentall nourishment which is raised by the aforesaid small Veines and Arteries from the Heart and Liver and concocted and reconcocted elaborated and made very subtill passing through those woven and interlaced turning and winding passages in which labyrinth the Vitall Spirit often pas sing and repassing is perfected and refined and becomes animall It is not lost labour if we consider how the pia mater divideth the substance of the Braine and lappeth it into certaine Cells or Divisions viz the substance of the Braine is devided into three ventricles of which the foremost containeth the most the middlemost lesse the hindermost the least In the foremost part of the braine imagination is seated in the middlemost judgment in the hindermost memory imagination is hot and dry in quality quick and active from whence it commeth that Frantick men and such as are sick of hot and burning maladaies are excellent in that which belongs to imagination many upon such a distemper have been excellent in poetry and divination It never sleepeth alwaies working whether the man be sleeping or waking and by the vapours that come from the Heart formes variety of cogitations which wanting the regulation of judgment when man steepeth becomes a dream Hence it appeareth that subtilty promtitude and that which they commonly call Wit belongeth to a hot imagination It is active stiring undertaketh all and setteth all the rest to work it gathereth the kinds and figures of things both present by the service of the five senses and absent by the Common sense Judgment is seated in the midst of the braine there to beare rule over the other faculties it is the judge of the little World the seat of the rationall soul and the judge of mens actions If you would know the mean whereby it knoweth and judgeth of things Aristotle and many others have thought that the Spirit knoweth by the help of the senses and that the understanding without the senses is but as white Paper Nil est in intellectu quod non fucritprius in sensu There is nothing in the understanding which is not first in the sense This opinion is false because the seeds of science and virtue are insinuated into our Spirits else is the state of the resonable soul worse then the vegetative or sensitive which of themselves are able to exercise their functions It were absurd to think that so noble and Divine a faculty should beg assistance of so vile and corruptible as the senses which apprehend only the simple accidents not the natures nor essence of things Againe were it so it must follow that they that have their senses most perfect should be most witty whereas we many times see the contrary Yet let no man think that the Spirit hath no service from the senses for in the beginning discovery and invention of things the senses do much service to the Spirit but the Spirit dependeth not upon the senses Some are of opinion that it is hot and moist in qualitie others say that a dry temperature is proper to the understanding whereby it comes to posse that aged persons excell those in understanding that are young because as yeares increase moisture doth decrease in the braine hence it comes to passe that melancolique persons that are afflicted with want and fast much are wise and ingenious for heavinesse and fasting are great driers Splendor siccus animus sapientissimus vexatio dat intellectum heat and drouth resineth the witt affliction giveth understanding that is the reason that great persons that feed highly and take little care and seldom lie under vexation or affliction for the most part are none of the wisest Beasts that are of a dry temperature as Ants Bees Elephants c are wise and ingenious on the contrary they that are of a moist constitution are stupid and without Spirit as are Swine Memory is seated in the hinder cell of the braine as the grand accountant or register
