CHAP. XVI. Of the Thymus.
THe Thymus is a glandule, of a soft, rare, and spongious substance, of large bigness,* 1.1 situ∣ate in the furthest and highest part of the Chest, amongst the divisions of the subclavian or Jugular veins and arteries, as yet contained in the Chest, for this use;* 1.2 that it might serve these vessels for a defence against the bony hardness of the Chest; and besides, that, as it were by this prop or stay, the distributions of these vessels might become the stronger; for so we see that nature hath provided for others, especially such as are the more noble and worthy.* 1.3 This glan∣dule appears very large in beasts and young men, but in such as have attained to full growth it is much less, and scarce to be seen.
