First, into the muscle of the thigh, which spreading it self through the muscles thereof meets with the utmost hypogastrica, descending with the vein through the common hole of the Huckle and Share-bone, and is joyned with it.
Secondly, when it arrives at the Ham; between the Condy••os, or processes of the Leg, it sends two branches into the Knee.
Thirdly, a little after it produces another branch, which it sends to the exterior Muscles of the Leg; and when it arrives at the middle of the Leg, it is divided into two branches, between the Twin-muscles and Solaeus, the one internal, the other external; the internal, some surcles commu∣nicated by the way to the parts by which it passes, but specially to the joynt of the Ankle, stretches it self over the sole of the foot, between the lower extremity thereof and heel; whither when it arrives, it is divaricated into five surcles, of which it bestows two on the great Toe, two on the next, and one on the middle Toe. The external descending in like manner to the sole of the Foot, between the Fibula and the Heel, besides other Sprigs, which it may spread by the way, it produces one without on the Joynt of the Ankle, another in the Muscle, the Abduct∣or of the Toes; to the wrist and back of the foot.
