unto_o you_o a_o marvelous_a accident_n know_v all_o over_o the_o court_n of_o england_n in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o activity_n and_o impression_n which_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o mother_n

herself_o so_o but_o to_o add_v that_o which_o she_o can_v further_o thereupon_o she_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o patch_n and_o fly_n which_o she_o put_v upon_o her_o face_n give_v she_o a_o great_a

upon_o opinion_n than_o nature_n she_o wear_v they_o in_o excess_n and_o patch_v most_o of_o her_o face_n with_o they_o although_o that_o do_v not_o much_o add_v to_o her_o beauty_n and_o that_o i_o

so_o much_o civility_n and_o sweetness_n she_o come_v to_o visit_v i_o nevertheless_o one_o day_n i_o think_v good_a in_o a_o kind_n of_o droll_a way_n so_o that_o she_o may_v not_o apprehend_v any_o

though_o she_o be_v in_o that_o case_n you_o shall_v at_o least_o i_o reply_v have_v a_o care_n of_o your_o child_n o_o for_o that_o say_v she_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o can_v be_v contribute_v more_o yet_o i_o tell_v she_o see_v how_o many_o patch_n you_o wear_v upon_o your_o face_n be_v you_o not_o afraid_a that_o the_o infant_n in_o your_o womb_n may_v haply_o be_v bear_v with_o such_o

i_o reply_v again_o the_o marvelous_a effect_n that_o the_o imagination_n of_o mother_n work_n upon_o the_o body_n of_o their_o child_n while_o they_o be_v yet_o big_a with_o they_o therefore_o i_o will_v raccount_n unto_o you_o some_o of_o they_o so_o i_o relate_v unto_o her_o sundry_a story_n upon_o this_o subject_a as_o that_o of_o the_o queen_n of_o ethiopia_n who_o be_v deliver_v of_o a_o

another_o of_o a_o woman_n who_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n of_o a_o child_n all_o hairy_a because_o of_o a_o portrait_n of_o saint_n john_n baptist_n in_o the_o wilderness_n when_o he_o wear_v a_o coat_n of_o camel_n hair_n i_o raccount_v unto_o she_o also_o the_o strange_a antipathy_n which_o the_o late_a king_n james_n have_v to_o a_o naked_a sword_n whereof_o the_o cause_n be_v ascribe_v in_o regard_n some_o schotch_a lord_n have_v enter_v once_o violent_o into_o the_o bedchamber_n of_o the_o queen_n his_o mother_n while_o she_o be_v with_o child_n of_o he_o where_o her_o secretary_n a_o italian_a be_v dispatch_v some_o letter_n for_o she_o who_o they_o hack_v and_o kill_v with_o naked_a sword_n before_o her_o face_n and_o throw_v he_o at_o her_o foot_n and_o they_o grow_v so_o

skin_n be_v raze_v in_o divers_a place_n bucanan_n make_v mention_n of_o this_o tragedy_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o her_o son_n king_n james_n have_v such_o a_o aversion_n all_o his_o life_n time_n to_o a_o naked_a sword_n that_o he_o can_v not_o see_v one_o without_o a_o great_a emotion_n of_o the_o spirit_n although_o otherwise_o courageous_a enough_o yet_o he_o can_v not_o overmaster_v his_o passion_n in_o this_o particular_a i_o remember_v when_o he_o dub_v i_o knight_n in_o the_o ceremony_n of_o put_v the_o point_n of_o a_o naked_a sword_n upon_o my_o shoulder_n he_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o but_o turn_v his_o face_n another_o way_n insomuch_o that_o in_o lieu_n of_o touch_v my_o shoulder_n he_o have_v almost_o thrust_v the_o point_n into_o my_o eye_n have_v not_o the_o duke_n of_o buckingham_n guide_v his_o hand_n aright_o i_o allege_v her_o divers_a such_o story_n to_o make_v she_o apprehend_v that_o a_o strong_a imagination_n of_o the_o mother_n may_v cause_v some_o notable_a impression_n upon_o the_o body_n of_o her_o child_n to_o his_o prejudice_n moreover_o i_o pray_v consider_v how_o attentive_a you_o be_v to_o your_o patch_n and_o that_o you_o have_v they_o continual_o in_o your_o imagination_n for_o i_o observe_v that_o you_o have_v look_v upon_o they_o ten_o time_n since_o you_o come_v to_o this_o room_n in_o the_o lookingglass_n have_v you_o therefore_o no_o apprehension_n that_o your_o child_n may_v be_v bear_v with_o half_a moon_n upon_o his_o face_n or_o rarather_o that_o all_o the_o black_a which_o you_o bear_v up_o and_o down_o in_o small_a portion_n may_v assemble_v in_o one_o and_o appear_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o his_o forehead_n the_o most_o apparent_a and_o remarkable_a part_n of_o the_o visage_n and_o may_v be_v as_o broad_a as_o a_o jacobus_n and_o than_o what_o a_o grace_n will_v it_o be_v to_o the_o child_n oimee_n say_v she_o rather_o than_o that_o shall_v happen_v i_o will_v wear_v no_o more_o patch_n while_o i_o be_o with_o child_n thereupon_o at_o that_o instant_n she_o pull_v they_o all_o off_o and_o hurl_v they_o away_o when_o her_o friend_n see_v she_o afterwards_o without_o patch_n they_o demand_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o who_o be_v esteem_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o curious_a beauty_n of_o the_o court_n in_o point_n of_o patch_n shall_v so_o sudden_o give_v over_o the_o wear_n of_o they_o she_o answer_v that_o her_o uncle_n in_o who_o she_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o belief_n assure_v she_o that_o if_o she_o wear_v they_o during_o the_o time_n she_o be_v with_o child_n the_o infant_n will_v have_v a_o large_a black_a patch_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o forehead_n now_o this_o conceit_n be_v so_o lively_o engrave_v in_o her_o imagination_n that_o she_o can_v not_o be_v deliver_v of_o it_o and_o so_o this_o poor_a lady_n who_o be_v so_o fearful_a that_o her_o child_n may_v not_o bear_v some_o black_a mark_n in_o his_o face_n yet_o she_o can_v not_o prevent_v but_o it_o come_v so_o into_o the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o have_v a_o spot_n as_o large_a as_o a_o crown_n of_o gold_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o forehead_n according_a as_o she_o have_v figure_v before_o in_o her_o imagination_n it_o be_v a_o daughter_n that_o she_o bring_v forth_o very_o beautiful_a throughout_o this_o except_v and_o it_o be_v but_o few_o month_n

the_o last_o time_n i_o sojourny_v there_o he_o have_v a_o very_a pretty_a and_o delicate_a child_n and_o because_o he_o will_v have_v his_o eye_n always_o upon_o he_o he_o entertain_v the_o nurse_n
