Of the vtilitye or office of members.
The .Viii. Chapiter.
EIghtlye the vtilitye or offyce,* 1.1 that euery member hath
in the bodye, is greatly to be noted: for euerye member
in the bodye hathe a speciall office by hym selfe, wher∣by
he is necessarye to the body. And therfore when he is lac∣kinge,
the bodye is destitute o•• that necessarye thynge: euen
as a common weale that lacketh his officer. What mem∣bers
in the body are called official, ye shall vnderstand in ye
generall Anatomy. Notwithstanding, there is no mēber in
the body, that is wythout his vtility: yt is to say, that hath
not a profitable vse in the body. But for as muche as in my
collection of the symple members, euerye member hathe
his vtilitye declared, where he is spoken of: I shall nede the
lesse in this place to tarye vpon it. But this brieflye I saye:
the bones are the susteiners of the bodye. The gristles are
descriptionPage 29
formable additions. The ligamentes binde the ioyntes to∣gether.
The muscles make a comelye forme. The synewes
carye the felynge and mouinge vertue. The veine caryeth
the nutrityue bloude. The arterye caryeth the vitall spirit.
The fleshe filleth the voyde places. The fatte moysteneth
the drye partes. The skin couereth and clotheth the bodye.
These are brieflye the offices or the vtilities of all the sym∣ple
members. By whiche the chirurgien taketh great note:
As well to kepe the bodye in healthe, as to cure it when it
is diseased.
