Partll l. the Liver into the Trunk of the Car/a, feated without the body of the Liver, maketh many Divaricarions into one fourth part toward the left ride of this Bowel, which it furnilheth with numerous lhmulets and Capillaries, of which divers take their pregrefs through the Concave parts of the Liver, and terminate into its Coat, The fecond Branch ofthe Sinus, fporteth it felf in manifold Branches, diftributed through a confiderable part of the right and anterior Side, and is lefs in Dimenfions then the firft Branch, and greater then the third and fourth, which are difpenfed into thofe parts of the Liver, which are next to the Back. The fifth Branch iiiiiing out of the Sinus, taketh its courfe much different , . and immediately under the Mir/hf. The Nerves of the Liver (fpringing out of the (Par Vagum, and Interco- Effigy" ital Trunk, confiituting the upper, right, greatelt and middle Mefentcrick l'lex ) do confilt of fruitful Branches, invefiing the I-lepatick Artery with many Fibrils, finely cmbroidcring its Coats ; and do allo difpenfe many Ramulcts into the Coat of the Capfula Commimir, 9mm Bilarim, and Vemz I'arta, into all which the Extrcamities of the Nervous Fibres being inferred, do convey their fine Liquor into the Bile and Blood, which they highly exalt ‘ with theirSpirituous, Volatil, Saline Particles. The Excretory chlels of the Liver, are of two kinds, the one relating to fhfizffiéfl‘é?‘ from the other, and like a Tree, emitteth its Branch into the middle and up- the Form Bilarim, the others to the Bladder of Call: The Trunk of the tYiCLiver,be- per Region of the Liver ; and hath many Capillaries inferred into the Membrane, inveliing the convex parts of this Bowel. The four Channels of Veins, coming from the Sinus as a common Lake, firl‘t, creepeth out of the Concave part of this Bowel, near the entrance of Riiniiigyix the Term, and a little before it is united with it, it is encircled with the Cap- 3%???" flfle Conn/Izmir, which is f0 firmly tied to each of them, that they cannot be 'f,,‘,,§,'"_,‘,{l° do accommodate the four quarters +,appertainiug to the lower Region of the Liver, with dreams of Purple Liquor, which is aifo difpenfed to the upper or gibbnus part, by the filth Branch ; and. the greatelt number of the fruitfnl Divaricarions of the ‘Porm, are at lal'c implanted into the innumerable ‘ : " finall Glands of the Liver, wherein a Steretion is made of the impure Re- crt-ments of the Blood, and the purer Particles are received into the Roots of iii'.‘ (-1 all. parted without laceration; and the Excretory VCHE'ls of the @orm Bilarim do accompany the Branches, l'xamulets, and Capillaries of the G'orta, to their Iltmofl: Terminations, into the fubftance of the Globules, or Glands: So that the Excretory Duéts, and the \'eflels of the (Form, do fo clofely efpoufe each other in a near union, that they feem to be one and the fame Veffels ; but being held up againlt the Light after Excarnation, the diflhrence of them may be plainly difcovcred, the colour of the fForm being of a dark Purple, PM i, In fine, the Pam: is different from all other Velfels, as it beginneth and cndeth in Capillaries : By the fitlt as its Roots, it exporteth Blood from the and that of the Bilarian Vell'els, is brownilh and yellow.

The greater Excretory and lefler Branches of the (Form Bilarim, do affo- ciate with thofe of the (Form, and do overfpread the body of the Liver, and have their numerous Capillaries inferred into the Parenchyma of the Glands, wherein a Secretion being made of the Recrements of the Blood, the impure parts are received into the Roots of the Bilarian Veffels.
