And where this pype doth appere aboue the shoulders where also the throte bolle is sene , there it is called the throte , & the outwarde pipe of the necke : And this part of the same pype showinge it self in the boske of the bodye , is called the inwarde parte of the neckepype or throte pype .

I Signifieth the nether mouth of the stomacke , or the yssue of the same , called in Greke Pylorus , and commonely in Laten Protonarius , the waie by the which the meate on s digested , passeth downe to the guttes . K Signifieth the lyuer called in Laten Hepar , and Iecur , this is the place where the iuyce commyng of meate digested in the stomacke , is transmuted and altered in to bludde : but that part of this iuyce , whiche is not apt to be conuerted to bludde , is altered , part to flewine , part to collor , and parte to melancholy .

O Signifieth a vayne which in Laten is called Vena caua & Venaiecoraria , the holowe veyne , the vayne of the lyuer , for by this vayn the bludde engendred in the lyuer , is mynistred to all partes of the bodye , to norysshe the body therwyth . P Signifieth the kydneys called in Laten Renes , fastened to both sydes of the body neare to the loines , but the right kidney standeth somwhat higher then the left by those the watery part of the blude actracte and drawen , descendeth through certayne other vaynes , as ye se in to the bladder .

¶ The Anatomie of the inward Partes of wooman , very necessarie to be knowen to Phisitians and Surgians and all other that desyre to knowe them selues .

FOR so muche as the declaration of most of the principall partes is sufficiently set foorth in the Anathomie of man , therfore wyll I remyt you thether : Ther to beholde the operation of them , and here we wyll declare the situation and maner of such partes as are in wooman differente from the partes in man . Howe be it , first ye shall vnderstande the signification of the letters , whiche are grauen within this figure .

A The gully of the threte . B The Lunges . C The harte . D The middrese . E The inner parte of the throtte pype , passynge through the boolke and the lunges into the stomacke , F The mouth of the stomacke . G The stomacke . H The botome of the stomacke . I The nether mouth of the stomacke . K The lyuer . Next vnto this letter . K. you se this L letter . V. the which wold be . L. & it signifieth the gaule M Vena portae , the lyuer vayne . N The splene . O Signifieth the place and vessel to the whiche the sloures be deriuied from the lyuer , nam menses in primis sensim erumpunt ab ipso iccinore , uelut per quaedam interualla , donec peruentum fit ad illa ( super primum ceruicis pudendae exor , tum ) acetabula : quos hec , quasi hianti & aperto ore effundunt . P Signifieth the kydneys , in Laten Renes . Q Te bladder , in Laten Vesica , this bladder , receaueth the waterye partes and vrine , which descendeth from the raynes , and it lyeth in the lower parte of the bellye before the woombe or matrice of the woman , whose necke entreth in at , and is fastened to the necke of the woombe through the whiche naturally it sendeth foorthe the vrine . R Signifieth the great vayne , whiche is diriued out of the lyuer , called in Laten Parigibba & Chilis : cencaua , uenarum mater , the moother of all vaynes , and from whom , and through his branches , other smaller vaynes , bludde is conueyed into all partes of mannes bodye . S T. V. X. Signifieth the woombe , wherein mankynd is conceaued , noorished , and fostred , vnto the time it be of a certayn might and force , and then naturallye is sente and brought foorth in to the worlde : and it is called in Laten Matrix : before it , is the bladder : but it is somwhat hygher then the bladder : the botom of it extendeth it selfe vnto the Nauell . S. Signifieth the botome of the woombe , where is a certayne thycke carnosyte , whiche boweth downe-warde and causeth a distinction to be in the woombe , T wherfore . T. sygnifieth the righte syde of the matrice V The lefte syde . Some there be that wryte , that there sholde be many selles or distinctions in the matrice , the whiche is not true : for other distinction then the fleshye parte , which is signified by S. doth cause , is there none . In the right syde , as Philosophers wryte , lyeth alwaye the man chylde , in the left the wooman childe . And to knowe whether the conception be male or female , thei bydde to marke whether it moue more on the righte fyde then the lefte , for then it is a man , If on the lefte more , then on the right syde , then it is a wooman : and for that cause also is to be noted the two brestes , the righte and the lefte : yf the right be greater or harder then the left , it is a token of a man , yf the lefte , of a wooman : and yf she haue more payne and doloure in the right syde , lykewyse it signifieth the man child , if in the left , a wooman . Whether it be man or woman , accordyng to the doctors of physycke and phylosophers , when the seade is firste conceaued in to the matrix , it encloseth it selfe after suche a sorte , that the poynte of a nedle canne not enter in at it , but by violence . And the firste .vi. dayes that it is conceaued , it remayneth crude and whyte lyke mylke . Then in the space of other .ix. dayes , it waxeth redde , and is become thycke bludde . Then in other .xii. daies it beginneth to come to some fashion : then in the .xviii. dayes folowynge the face and other principall membres begynne to growe in to a full shape and forme , in longitude , latitude , and profundite . In the rest of the tyme vnto the byrth it is conforted and prepared to come foorthe : the whiche manye times chaunseth in the vii . moneth , and the chyld proueth and doth verye wel : but in the . vui . moneth few or none proue . About the latter ende of the ix . againe , if it be borne , it proueth verye well , that is the moste commone coursse . xl . weakes after the conception . The maner how the chylde lyeth in the moothers woombe , is this : the face lyeth on bothe the knees , both the handes beynge betwene the face and the knees : after suche maner that the nose dependeth betwene the knees , and ether of the eyes on ether of the knees : so lyeth it rounde in maner , and the face towarde the inwarde parte of the woombe : and this partly haue I shewed you of the operation of the matrice . ❧ A perfecte and particular description of the secrete partes of the bodie of wooman , with the signification of the letters conteyned in the same . 1 The woombe is called in Laten Matrix as it weare Mater ( that is ) a moother : for as muche as all beastes proccade oute of that as borne of a moother . It hangeth betwene the splen and the bladder : but somwhat higher then the bladder . The botome and holownesse therof , is extended vnto the nauel : and it is the place of the first masse of conception called Embrion . 2 The right syde or goulfe of the matrics , wherin male children are begotten . 3 The lefte goulfe of the matrice , wherin female children are begotten . 4 The mouthe or enterance of the matrice , which is vnclosed in the woorke of natural generation and receaueth the seede of man . And after conception , so streyghtly closeth it selfe , that the poynte of a needle , can not enter into it . Yet at times conuenient ( that is to saye , at the auoyding of floures ) it openeth it selfe . 5 From hense proceadeth the seede of wooman in conception : and likewyse the seede of man . 6 This is the diuision of the great vaynes , proceding from the liuer to the harte : and agen from the harte , passing through the ridge bone of the backe , wherunto also the kydneys do cleaue . From hense coome the vaynes wherby the menstrual bludde ( for lacke of naturall heate engendred of crude and vndigest bludde ) is conueyed into the matrice . 7 The necke of the matrice , is vi . fingers in lenketh hauing beneath a narowe mouthe , wherby the yssue of the bladder sendeth foorth vrine . 8 The priuie membre of wooman . 9 Two great arterie vaynes , wherunto the matrice is fastened . And are therfore called the wynges of the matrice .
