<HEAD>THE ANATOMIE OF THE INWARD parts of Woman, very nece&s;&s;ary to be knowne to Phi&s;i|tians, Surgians, and all other that de&s;ire to know them&s;elues.</HEAD>
<P>FOr &s;o much as the declaration of mo&s;t of the principall parts is &s;ufficiently &s;et forth in the Anatomie of man, therefore will I re|mit you thether: There to behold the operation of them, and here we will declare the &s;ituation and manner of &s;uch partes as are in a woman, different from the parts in a man. Howbeit, fir&s;t ye &s;hall vnder&s;tand the &s;ignification of the letters, which are grauen within this figure.</P>
<P><LABEL>A.</LABEL> The gully of the throte.</P>
<P><LABEL>B.</LABEL> The Longes.</P>
<P><LABEL>C.</LABEL> The hart.</P>
<P><LABEL>D.</LABEL> The Middriffe.</P>
<P><LABEL>E.</LABEL> The inner part of the throte pipe pa&s;&s;ing through the boolke &amp; the lunges into the &s;tomacke.</P>
<P><LABEL>F.</LABEL> The mouth of the &s;tomacke.</P>
<P><LABEL>G.</LABEL> The &s;tomacke.</P>
<P><LABEL>H.</LABEL> The bottome of the &s;tomacke.</P>
<P><LABEL>I.</LABEL> The nether mouth of the &s;tomacke.</P>
<P><LABEL>K.</LABEL> The liuer. Next vnto this letter K. you &s;ee this</P>
<P><LABEL>L.</LABEL> letter V. the which would be L. and &s;ignifieth the gaule.</P>
<P><LABEL>M.</LABEL> Vena porte, the liuer vaine.</P>
<P><LABEL>N.</LABEL> The Splene.</P>
<P><LABEL>O.</LABEL> Signifieth the place and ve&s;&s;ell to the which the flowers be de|riued from the liuer: Nam men&s;es in primis &s;en&s;um erumpunt ab ip&s;o iecinore, velut per quedam interualla, donec peruentu~ &s;it ad illa (&s;uper primum ceruicis pudende exortum) acetavula: quos hec, qua&s;i hianti &amp; aperto ore effundunt.</P>
<P><LABEL>P.</LABEL> Signifieth the Kidneyes, in Laten Renes.</P>
<P><LABEL>Q.</LABEL> The bladder, in Latine Ve&s;cica: this bladder receiueth the wa|terie parts &amp; vrine which de&s;cendeth from the reynes, and it lyeth in the lower partes of the bellie before the wombe or matrix of the woman, who&s;e necke entreth in at, and is fa&s;tned to the necke of the wombe through the which naturally it &s;endeth forth the vrine.</P>
<P><LABEL>R.</LABEL> Signifieth the great vaine, which is deriued out of the liuer, cal|led in Latine Parigibba, &amp; Chilis: Concaua venarum mater, the mother of all vaines, and from whom and through his branches (o|ther &s;maller vaines) bloud is conueyed into all parts of mans body.</P>
<P><LABEL>S.</LABEL> <LABEL>T.</LABEL> <LABEL>V.</LABEL> <LABEL>X.</LABEL> Signifieth the wombe wherein mankind is conceaued, nouri&s;hed and fo&s;tred, vnto the time it be of a certain might &amp; force, and then naturally is &s;ent and brought forth into the world, but it is &s;omewhat higher then the bladder: the bottome of it extendeth it &s;elfe vnto the Nauell.</P>
<P><LABEL>S.</LABEL> Signifieth the bottome of the wombe, where is a certain thicke carno&s;ite, which boweth downward, and cau&s;eth a di&s;tinction to be in the wombe.</P>
<P><LABEL>T.</LABEL> Wherefore T. &s;ignifieth the right &s;ide of the Matrix.</P>
<P><LABEL>V.</LABEL> The left &s;ide. Some there be that vvrite, that there &s;hould bee many &s;elles or di&s;tinctions in the Matrice, the which is not true, for other di&s;tinction then the fle&s;hie part (vvhich is &s;ignified by S.) doth cau&s;e, is there none. In the right &s;ide as Philo&s;ophers vvrite, lyeth alvvay the man child, in the left the vvoman childe. And to knovv vvhether the conception be male or female, they bid to marke vvhe|ther it moue more on the right &s;ide then the left, for the~ it is a man. If on the left more then on the right &s;ide, then it is a woman: and for that cau&s;e al&s;o is to be noted the two brea&s;ts, the right and the left: if the right be greater and harder then the left, it is a token of a man: if the left, of a woman, and if &s;he haue more paine and dolour in the right &s;ide, likewi&s;e it &s;ignifieth the man child, if in the left, a vvoman. Whether it be man or wonan, according to the Doctor of Phi&s;icke and Philo&s;ophers, when the &s;eed is fir&s;t conceiued in the Matrix, it enclo&s;eth it &s;elfe after &s;uch a &s;ort, that the point of a needle cannot enter in at it but by violence. And the fir&s;t vi. daies that it is con|ceiued, it remaineth crude and vvhite like milke.</P>
<P>Then in the &s;pace of other nine daies it waxeth redde, and is be|come thicke bloud: then in other xii, dries, it beginneth to come to &s;ome fa&s;hion: then in the xviii. daies following, the face and other pricipall members, beginne to grow into a full &s;hape and forme in longitude, latitude and profunditie. In the re&s;t of the time vnto the birth it is comforted, and prepared to come forth, the which many times chanceth in the vii. moneth, &amp; the child proueth and doth ve|ry well: but in the xiii, moneth, few or none proue. About the later end of the ix. againe, if it be borne, it proueth very well, that is the mo&s;t common cour&s;e xl. weekes after the conception. The manner how the child lieth in the mothers wombe, is this: the face lyeth on both the knees: &s;o lyeth it round in manner, and the face toward the inward part of the vvombe: and this partly haue I &s;hewed you of the operation of the Matrice.</P>

<HEAD>A perfect and particular de&s;cription of the &s;ecret parts of the body of woman, with the &s;ignification of the letters contained in the &s;ame.</HEAD>
<P><LABEL>1.</LABEL> The wombe is called in Latine Matrix&punc; as it were, Mater (that is) a mother: for as much as all bea&s;tes proceed out of that as borne of a mother: It hangeth betweene the &s;plene and the bladder: but &s;omewhat higher then the bladder. The bottome and hollowne&s;&s;e thereof is extended vnto the nauell, &amp; it is the place of the fir&s;t ma&s;&s;e of conception called Embrion.</P>
<P><LABEL>2</LABEL> The right &s;ide or goulfe of the Matrice wherein male children are begotten.</P>
<P><LABEL>3</LABEL> The left gulfe of the Matrice, wherein femall children are be|gotten.</P>
<P><LABEL>4</LABEL> The mouth or entrance of the Matrice, which is vnclo&s;ed in worke of naturall generation, &amp; receiueth the &s;eede of man, &amp; after conception &s;o &s;traitly clo&s;eth it &s;elfe, that the point of a needle can not enter into it: yet at times conuenient, (that is to &s;ay, at the auoi|ding of fluores) it openeth if &s;elfe.</P>
<P><LABEL>5</LABEL> From hence proceedeth the &s;eed of woman in conception: &amp; likewi&s;e the &s;eed of man.</P>
<P><LABEL>6</LABEL> This is the diui&s;ion of the great vaines proceeding from the liuer to the hart, &amp; againe from the hart, pa&s;&s;ing through the ridge bone of the backe, wherevnto al&s;o the kidneyes doe cleaue. From hence come the veines whereby the men&s;truall bloud (for lacke of naturall heat engendred of crude and vndige&s;t bloud) is conueyed into the matrice.</P>
<P><LABEL>7</LABEL> The necke of the matrice is vi. fingers in length, hauing beneath a narrow mouth, whereby the i&s;&s;ue of the bladder &s;endeth forth vrine.</P>
<P><LABEL>8</LABEL> The priuie member of woman.</P>
<P><LABEL>9</LABEL> Two great artery vaines, vvhereunto the matrice is fa&s;tened, and are therefore called the Matrice.</P>
