inltive church againft notorious offenders; and the form 
of that pronounced by Senecius againft Andronicus is as 
follows: “ Let no church of God be open to Andronicus, 
but let every fanctuary be fliut againft him. I admonifh 
both private men and magiftrates to receive him neither 
under their roof nor to their table; and priefts more ef- 
pecially, that they neither converfe with him living, nor 
attend his funeral when dead.” Several councils have al- 
fo pronounced anathemas againft fuch as they thought 
corrupted the purity of the faith; and their deciftons have 
been conceived in the following form : Si quis dixerit, &c. 
anathema Jit. There are two kinds of anathemas, the one 
judiciary and the other abjuratory. The former can only 
be denounced by a council, a pope, or a bifttop; the lat¬ 
ter makes a part of the ceremony of abjuration, the con¬ 
vert being obliged to anathemize the herefy he ab¬ 
jures. 
Anathema, in heathen antiquity, was an offering or 
prefent made to home deity, and hungup in the temple. 
Whenever a perfon left off his employment, it was ufual 
to dedicate the tools to the patron deity of the trade. 
Perlons too who had efcaped from imminent danger, as 
ftiipwreck and the like, or had met with any other remark¬ 
able inftance of good fortune, feldorn failed to tellify their 
gratitude by fbme prefent of this kind.

A NATOMY,/. [from ataroycn, Gr. of «;«, through, 
il ,T£,aiif, to cut. ] The art of diffebting an animal, efpe- 
tcially the human body, in order to demonftrate the matter, 
fhape, ftrublure, comieblion, and lituation, of the parts; 
this, though it does not teach to cure, hath a tendency to 
make the cure proceed - both more fafely and agreeably. 
In ftiort, whatever perfeblion the art of healing might 
have rifen to, by the aid of prabtical experiments and ob- 
lervation, it cannot be denied that its greateft lights were 
received from anatomy and phyfiology. To know the pe¬ 
culiar ftrublure of each part, its ufe, what funbtions it 
performs, what conneblion it hath with other parts, 
and influence on them, whether near or remote, are ad¬ 
vantages too obvious to be denied. The greateft geniufes 
have found that their enquiry cannot be too minute in this 
branch of phyfic ; and the mod eminent profeffors and 
prablitioners have in confequence become more lau¬ 
dably emulous to encreafe their knowledge and acquain¬ 
tance therein.

The human body is compofed of firm and liquid parta, 
commonly called folids and j fluids. The folid parts are the 
chief fubjebl of anatomy properly fo called; by which 
term we underhand not only an artful decompofttion of the 
parts of the body, but alfo a methodical demonftration 
and defcription of the feveral parts when diltecled. The 
hiftory of the fluid parts comes into a fyftem of anatomy 
only occafionally; becaufe it properly belongs to what is 
called phyfiology, or the animal ceconomy. 
Anatomifts ordinarily reduce all the foiid parts under 
certain general claffes, expreffed by the common or gene- 
rical names of bone, cartilage, ligament, fibre, membrane, vcf- 
Jel, artery, vein, nerve, mujcle, gland, fiat, vificus, organ, &c. 
Thefe terms are anatomical words, which exprels feveral 
parts that have nearly the fame ftrublure to outward ap- • 
pearance; and, as they are often mentioned, we (hall here 
give a brief explanation of them. 
A bone is that hard, folid, and mod inflexible, part of 
the body, which a (lifts in forming the great frame-work
