SECT. VIII. Of the LEGS, FEET, and TOES.

THe LEG consists of these parts; the thigh, which begins at the trunk of the body, and ends at the knee; the hollow of the thigh is the inner side below the privities; the knee begins at the round bone at the end of the thigh, and reaches to the beginning of the shin-bone; the instep begins at the end of the shin-bone, and reaches to the begin∣ning of the toes, and is called the upper part of the foot, the ancle is that bone which buncheth out on each side between the instep and beginning of the heel.

The Small of the leg is the space between the end of the two calves above, and the ancle, instep, and heel below; the Pit of the foot is the hollow under the hill or higher bunch of the foot towards the soles.

The TOES have also joynts as the fingers, though they be somewhat shorter, and have also nails in like manner, and are otherwise called, as 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The hinder part of the leg begins under the but∣tock, and is called the thigh, and endeth at the hinder part of the knee, called the hamme or bending; the calves of the legs begin under the hamme, and are two upon each leg; the outward, which endeth somewhat high; and the inward, which reacheth nearer to the small of the leg, which diminisheth

by degrees to that part a little above the ancle; the heel is that part of the foot which riseth out backwards, reaching from the end of the leg to the bottom of the foot, called the Sole, which beginneth at the end of the heel, and reacheth to the top of the toes, containing likewise the spaces between the joynts underneath orderly. Thus much for the External parts of Mans Body; all which are deci∣phered in the Sculptures following.
