THese pair lying under the former,* 1.1 being of the same substance and shape, accompanied with the like ductus, do arise from a small protuberance of the first Ver∣tebre of the Neck round, and ascending, are implanted as the former underneath them; by the benefit of these Majores and Minores, if the whole pair work together, it extends the Head directly,* 1.2 but if one only move, it is moved laterally.
Nature hath made so many Muscles for extention of the Head,* 1.3 that Man might more aptly fit himself for the Contemplation of Coelestial Bodies, and for this Motion, small Muscles were thought most requisite: and lest they might tire or grow weary in their long dependence, Providence hath ordered to these, long Muscles, more properly adapted for a longer bowing of the Head, or extending it to a sharper Angle.
These you have at Fig. 1. Tab. 25. at D. D. Fig. 2. ejusd: Tab. you have them at b. b.
