that_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n when_o she_o have_v go_v seven_o month_n of_o her_o time_n be_v to_o walk_v much_o upon_o a_o conceit_n that_o exercise_n be_v very_o proper_a for_o she_o for_o that_o they_o say_v do_v loosen_v the_o child_n from_o the_o reins_o and_o facilitate_v the_o birth_n i_o confess_v as_o to_o facilitate_v of_o the_o birth_n it_o may_v something_o avail_v only_o i_o must_v add_v this_o also_o that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o draw_v away_o the_o child_n then_o to_o break_v it_o and_o moreover_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v something_o long_o in_o travail_n then_o to_o incur_v 2._o or_o 3._o evil_n which_o ordinary_o happen_v the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o child_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o eleven_o month_n do_v make_v certain_a endeavour_n to_o free_v itself_o from_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o mother_n and_o without_o doubt_v his_o first_o endeavour_n be_v to_o turn_v himself_o in_o the_o belly_n of_o the_o mother_n for_o the_o infant_n turn_v himself_o a_o good_a while_n before_o the_o time_n of_o labour_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v exercise_n be_v very_o dangerous_a the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o by_o push_v downward_a the_o belly_n be_v dilate_v and_o especial_o in_o such_o as_o carry_v their_o child_n low_a and_o beside_o ofttimes_o the_o head_n drag_v down_o all_o the_o body_n of_o the_o womb_n and_o loosen_v the_o

they_o say_v be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o nurse_n who_o do_v not_o apply_v remedy_n fit_a to_o restore_v the_o fault_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o remedy_n do_v much_o avail_v to_o the_o recovery_n of_o the_o foresaid_a malady_n and_o do_v much_o avail_n to_o the_o heal_n of_o that_o disease_n &_o mar_v of_o the_o belly_n but_o to_o restore_v it_o to_o such_o a_o estate_n as_o it_o be_v in_o

do_v i_o must_v confess_v that_o false_a accusation_n have_v make_v the_o most_o able_a midwife_n timorous_a for_o they_o lie_v liable_a to_o so_o many_o cause_n of_o detraction_n that_o all_o that_o
