till_o such_o time_n as_o they_o can_v avoid_v danger_n and_o that_o which_o be_v more_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o there_o rise_v a_o certain_a strife_n between_o the_o male_a and_o the_o female_a which_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v the_o keeper_n and_o for_o that_o intent_n they_o many_o time_n quarrel_n and_o fight_v one_o with_o another_o the_o which_o may_v be_v see_v not_o only_o in_o ape_n

to_o the_o end_n that_o with_o one_o blow_n he_o may_v behead_v they_o and_o then_o reign_v alone_o upon_o the_o earth_n see_v then_o that_o the_o child_n have_v not_o feel_v or_o suffer_v sorrow_n enough_o in_o his_o mother_n womb_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v bear_v there_o be_v prepare_v a_o new_a sorrow_n for_o he_o by_o the_o ingratitude_n of_o such_o mother_n which_o be_v so_o

mother_n this_o be_v of_o a_o truth_n and_o often_o verify_v that_o if_o the_o nurse_n be_v froward_a the_o child_n will_v be_v froward_a not_o by_o receive_v of_o their_o milk_n but_o by_o often_o look_v upon_o it_o if_o she_o be_v a_o drunkard_n she_o will_v cause_v the_o child_n to_o be_v the_o like_a as_o it_o be_v read_v in_o the_o life_n of_o the_o emperor_n tiberius_n who_o be_v a_o

may_v see_v that_o the_o nurse_n have_v so_o much_o power_n as_o to_o form_v the_o manner_n and_o body_n of_o the_o child_n so_o that_o if_o she_o be_v sickly_a she_o render_v the_o child_n sickness_n if_o she_o be_v wicked_a she_o cause_v the_o child_n also_o to_o be_v wicked_a but_o here_o i_o will_v leave_v child_n in_o their_o nurse_n keep_v and_o speak_v of_o their_o follow_a calamity_n in_o how_o many_o danger_n be_v they_o wrap_v whilst_o they_o be_v a_o nurse_n some_o will_v burst_v with_o cry_v some_o never_o rest_v in_o quiet_a all_o the_o night_n long_o so_o that_o their_o nurse_n

grievous_a wound_n beside_o the_o disease_n which_o they_o take_v by_o nature_n but_o who_o will_v not_o wonder_v to_o see_v the_o fantastical_a manner_n of_o little_a child_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n will_v dabble_v in_o the_o water_n and_o channel_n like_o a_o little_a duck_n make_v little_a house_n of_o earth_n counterfeit_n the_o horseman_n in_o ride_v on_o a_o little_a stick_n run_v
