1Bones give the body stability, straitness and form. They are as the carcass of a ship, whereto the rest of the parts are fastened, and by which they are sustained. They are as the posts, pillars, beams and rafters of a house, by whose knittings and contignations the whole building is both proportioned and supported. And though the bones are for number very many, and in their forms exceeding various, some thick, some thin, some plain, some hollow, some of a greater, others of a lesser bore, yet are they so connected and fitted together by articulation or by coalition, by contiguity or continuity (as the Anatomists speak) that they all appear as one bone, or pack of bones,

Sinews or nerves derive their pedigree from the brain, and are the organs by which the animal spirits are conveyed, and flow into the whole body, and with them both sense and motion. Sinews have so much of strength in them, that the same word is put to signify both strength and sinews, and to do a thing strongly and vigorously, is to do it (nervosè) sinewously. It is wonderful which Naturalists write of the conjugations and uses of the sinews, to whose labours I refer the studious Reader for further satisfaction. I have given enough to show, what this Text calls me to, That God hath indeed clothed man with skin and flesh, and fenced him with bones and sinews.
