CHAP. XXXI. Of the too short a Prepuce, and of such as have been circumcised.

* 1.1WHen as the Prepuce or fore-skin is too short, it cannot cover the Glans. This happens either by nature, to wit, by the first conformation, or afterwards by some accident, as to those whom Religion and the custom of their Nation bids to be circumcised.* 1.2 The cure is thus: The Prepuce is turned up, and then the inner membrane thereof is cut round, and great care is had, that the vein and artery which are there between the two membranes of the Prepuce be not cut in sunder. Hence it is drawn downward by extension, untill it cover the Glans, a deficcative emplaister being first put be∣tween it and the Glans, least they should grow together. Then a pipe being first put into the urinary passage, the Prepuce shall be there bound untill the incision be cicatrized. This cure is used to the Jews, when, having abjured their Religion full of superstitions, for hand∣somness sake, they would cover the nut of their yard with a Prepuce, and so recover their cut-off-skin.
