1 ENDON; that is, the Tendon of the two Mufcular Mem¬ 
branes. 
It may be Objected, That then it fhould he above, not 
under the Membranes. But in a Girard, we find the Ten¬ 
don fpread within or underneath the Flefhy part of the 
Mufcules, as well as above. F 
The truth of this will further appear, ifweconfider the 
great Thicknefs of this Membrane, where the molt force- 
able motions of the Gulet are required. For it would ferve 
as well for fenfation, if it were ten times as thin: the grofs- 
nefs of the fenfory, not being necefTary to the exquifitenefs 
of the fenfe 5 but of the mover, always to the ftrength of 
the motion. And therefore, whereas the Cuticulur or ut- 
moft Membrane is much of the fame thicknefs in all Ani¬ 
mals 5 the Nervous is much varied according to the thin- 
nefs or thicknefs of the Mufcular: that is, where the Muf- 
cule is thick, the Tendon is proportionable. The notice 
of which in Oxen , tec. fheweth the fame ufe hereof in a 
man. 
The Inmoft Skin or Lining of th cGula, is to be a pro¬ 
tection to the Nervous, as the outer is to the Mufcular 5 that 
fo nothing hard, fait, fower, or any way acrimonious, may 
be injurious to it. To keep it the better within bounds, in 
all the motions of the Gulet. To be the Bed of the Glands. 
And one feat of Thirl! 5 which oftentimes lies no deeper 
than the Throat and upper part of the Gulet: and is cured 
by any thing which by moitfening the Throat fhall give 
vent to the Mucus fiagnant therein,

A Nd firft, all Carnivorous Quadrupeds have the fmalleft 
Ventricles 5 flefh going fartheft. Thofe that feed on 
Fruits and Roots have them of a middle fize. Yet the 
Mole, becaufe It feeds unclean, hath a very great one. Sheep 
and Oxen, which feed on Grafs , have the greateff. Yet the
