The Preface.
HAving finished the first Booke of our Anatomy, in explana∣tion of the naturall parts contained in the lower belly, now order requires, that we treat of the Brest; that so the parts in some sort already explained (I meane the veines and arteries) may bee dispatched after the same order and manner, with∣out interposition of any other matter.
And besides also that we may the more exactly and cheare∣fully shew the rest of the parts which remaine, as the head and limbs, knowing already the originall of those vessels which are dispersed through them. To this purpose, we will define what the Chest is, and then we will divide it into its parts. Thirdly, in these we will consider which parts containe, and which are contained, that so we may more happily finish our intended discourse.
