of_o her_o stomach_n as_o childing-woman_n usual_o do_v make_v sickly_a face_n to_o express_v a_o sickly_a stomach_n and_o fetch_v her_o breath_n short_a and_o bear_v out_o her_o body_n draw_v her_o

fortnight_n though_o by_o her_o behaviour_n one_o will_v not_o have_v think_v she_o have_v above_o a_o week_n to_o go_v or_o to_o reckon_v but_o she_o be_v so_o please_v with_o the_o belief_n she_o be_v with_o child_n for_o i_o think_v she_o can_v perfect_o know_v herself_o at_o most_o it_o be_v but_o breed_a child_n as_o she_o make_v or_o believe_v herself_o big_a than_o she_o appear_v and_o

much_o will_v make_v her_o sick_a if_o she_o be_v not_o with_o child_n she_o answer_v that_o woman_n with_o child_n may_v eat_v any_o thing_n and_o as_o much_o as_o they_o will_v or_o can_v and_o it_o will_v do_v they_o no_o harm_n but_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o general_o woman_n take_v more_o pleasure_n when_o they_o be_v with_o child_n than_o when_o they_o be_v not_o with_o child_n not_o only_o in_o eat_v more_o and_o feed_v more_o luxurious_o but_o take_v a_o pride_n in_o their_o great_a belly_n although_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a effect_n of_o a_o natural_a cause_n for_o like_a as_o woman_n take_v a_o great_a pride_n in_o their_o beauty_n than_o pleasure_n or_o content_a in_o their_o virtue_n so_o they_o take_v more_o pride_n in_o be_v with_o child_n than_o in_o have_v a_o child_n for_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n and_o up_o from_o their_o lie_v in_o they_o seem_v nothing_o so_o well_o please_v nor_o so_o proud_a as_o when_o they_o be_v great_a with_o child_n and_o to_o prove_v they_o be_v proud_a and_o take_v more_o pleasure_n in_o be_v with_o child_n and_o in_o lie_v in_o than_o in_o have_v a_o child_n be_v their_o care_n pain_n and_o cost_n in_o get_v

as_o hang_n cabinet_n plate_n artificial_a flower_n looking-glass_n skreen_n and_o many_o such_o like_a thing_n of_o great_a cost_n and_o charge_n beside_o their_o banquet_n of_o sweetmeat_n and_o other_o junket_n as_o cake_n wafer_n biscuit_n jelly_n and_o the_o like_a as_o also_o such_o strong_a drink_n as_o methinks_v the_o very_a smell_n shall_v put_v a_o childbed-wife_n into_o a_o fever_n

be_v more_o chargeable_a than_o to_o bring_v up_o a_o child_n when_o it_o be_v bear_v nay_o they_o will_v rather_o want_v portion_n for_o their_o child_n when_o they_o be_v grow_v to_o be_v man_n or_o woman_n or_o want_v sufficiency_n of_o mean_n to_o pay_v for_o their_o learning_n and_o education_n than_o want_v these_o extravagancy_n of_o luxury_n and_o vanity_n at_o their_o birth_n and_o their_o child_n be_v christen_v be_v like_o some_o bride_n and_o bridegroom_n that_o be_v so_o fine_a on_o their_o wedding-day_n as_o they_o be_v force_v to_o go_v in_o rag_n all_o their_o life_n after_o which_o methinks_v be_v very_o strange_a that_o for_o the_o vanity_n and_o show_n of_o one_o day_n they_o will_v spend_v so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v beggar_n all_o their_o life_n after_o but_o as_o i_o say_v this_o prove_v that_o woman_n take_v a_o great_a pride_n and_o pleasure_n in_o be_v with_o child_n than_o in_o have_v child_n well_o breed_v and_o well-bestowed_a or_o maintain_v when_o grow_v to_o year_n and_o that_o which_o make_v i_o wonder_v more_o be_v that_o wise_a man_n will_v suffer_v their_o foolish_a wife_n to_o be_v so_o foolish_o and_o imprudent_o expensive_a wherefore_o such_o man_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v impoverish_v that_o will_v suffer_v their_o wife_n to_o be_v so_o vain_a for_o it_o show_v they_o to_o be_v better_a husband_n than_o father_n kind_a to_o their_o wife_n than_o careful_a of_o their_o child_n also_o it_o show_v they_o fond_a husband_n than_o love_v child_n because_o they_o ruin_n their_o forefather_n posterity_n by_o impoverish_v their_o own_o

of_o breed_n to_o her_o sick_a pleasure_n or_o pleasurable_a sickness_n to_o her_o luxurious_a feed_v and_o vain_a provide_v and_o wish_v she_o a_o good_a gossip_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a

our_o will_n to_o talk_n be_v beyond_o our_o power_n but_o though_o we_o want_v not_o word_n yet_o we_o want_v understanding_n and_o knowledge_n to_o talk_v perpetual_o neither_o must_v man_n
