SECT. I. Of the HEAD.

IN Man's body the highest part is the HEAD; the fore-part is called the Forehead; the turn∣ing of the hair, the Crown; the root of the hair above the fore∣head, the Center; the parting of the hair, (especially of Women) is called the Seam.

The Forehead conteineth all the space between the root of the hair before, and the eye-browes: the Pulse is the highest part of the forehead, ending with the hair: Metone is the swelling out in the forehead above the eye-browes: the Temples lye betwixt the pulse, the forehead, and the ear.
