famous_a chirurgeon_n in_o his_o time_n at_o paris_n quote_v many_o witness_n to_o the_o thing_n give_v we_o a_o history_n of_o a_o woman_n in_o who_o have_v be_v hang_v 14_o day_n after_o she_o be_v deliver_v in_o childbirth_n he_o find_v as_o he_o say_v the_o share_n bone_n separate_v in_o the_o middle_a the_o breadth_n of_o half_a a_o finger_n and_o the_o flanck-bone_n themselves_o disjoint_v from_o the_o hoop-bone_n but_o we_o will_v not_o in_o this_o matter_n accuse_v he_o of_o a_o imposture_n as_o have_v too_o much_o respect_n and_o a_o better_a opinion_n of_o so_o worthy_a a_o person_n and_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v too_o sincere_a as_o to_o commit_v such_o a_o crime_n but_o do_v indeed_o believe_v the_o good_a man_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o this_o separation_n for_o we_o can_v probable_o conceive_v that_o be_v so_o at_o the_o time_n of_o her_o labour_n it_o will_v remain_v so_o a_o fortnight_n after_o the_o breadth_n of_o half_a a_o finger_n for_o than_o they_o will_v have_v be_v force_v to_o carry_v this_o woman_n to_o execution_n for_o they_o be_v execute_v at_o paris_n within_o the_o city_n or_o suburb_n because_o she_o will_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v support_v herself_o or_o climb_v the_o ladder_n of_o the_o gibbet_n and_o keep_v herself_o on_o her_o leg_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o other_o malefactor_n because_o the_o body_n be_v only_o support_v by_o the_o stability_n of_o these_o bone_n wherefore_o we_o must_v believe_v as_o most_o probable_a that_o such_o a_o disjunction_n and_o separation_n be_v cause_v either_o from_o the_o fall_n of_o this_o woman_n body_n from_o the_o high_a gibbet_n to_o the_o ground_n after_o execution_n or_o from_o some_o blow_n on_o that_o place_n from_o some_o hard_a thing_n and_o if_o we_o thorough_o examine_v the_o different_a figure_n and_o structure_n of_o these_o bone_n between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o woman_n sceleton_n we_o shall_v find_v a_o large_a empty_a space_n and_o distance_n between_o these_o bone_n much_o more_o considerable_a in_o woman_n then_o in_o man_n and_o that_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o least_o woman_n have_v the_o bone_n of_o the_o hip_n more_o distant_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o than_o the_o big_a man_n and_o they_o have_v also_o the_o crupper-bone_n more_o outward_o and_o the_o sharebone_n flatter_v which_o make_v the_o passage_n from_o this_o capacity_n large_a and_o more_o able_a to_o give_v issue_n to_o the_o child_n at_o the_o time_n of_o labour_n moreover_o they_o have_v beside_o this_o the_o flank_n bone_n much_o more_o turn_v outward_a that_o the_o womb_n be_v fill_v may_v have_v more_o room_n to_o stretch_v itself_o out_o on_o the_o side_n and_o more_o at_o ease_n support_v by_o such_o a_o disposition_n as_o you_o will_v see_v explain_v in_o the_o figure_n a_o show_v the_o man_n bone_n b_o the_o woman_n for_o to_o know_v the_o difference_n that_o the_o woman_n be_v more_o capacious_a than_o the_o man_n for_o c_o and_o c_o d_o and_o d_o e_o and_o e_o be_v at_o a_o large_a distance_n one_o from_o another_o in_o a_o woman_n than_o in_o a_o man._n and_o beside_o that_o woman_n have_v the_o rump_n bone_n mark_v f._n more_o turn_v outward_n than_o man_n which_o give_v way_n to_o the_o head_n to_o pass_v through_o the_o large_a passage_n between_o the_o 2_o hip-bone_n mark_v e_z and_o e_o without_o great_a

no_o wise_a but_o that_o the_o womb_n make_v membranous_a or_o skinny_a for_o that_o purpose_n can_v stretch_v forth_o itself_o as_o it_o do_v to_o let_v the_o infaut_n pass_v in_o labour_n by_o this_o great_a empty_a space_n sufficient_a for_o it_o without_o any_o necessity_n that_o these_o bone-should_a be_v disjoint_v or_o separate_v for_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o fall_v out_o indeed_o woman_n can_v not_o sustain_v themselves_o on_o their_o leg_n as_o many_o of_o they_o do_v immediate_o after_o that_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n because_o they_o be_v instead_o of_o a_o support_n

when_o woman_n that_o be_v there_o to_o be_v bring_v to_o bed_n begin_v to_o be_v in_o labour_n they_o go_v into_o a_o little_a room_n call_v the_o stove_n where_o all_o be_v deliver_v upon_o a_o

immediate_o to_o their_o ordinary_a business_n as_o if_o they_o have_v ail_v nothing_o neither_o can_v this_o ingenious_a chirurgeon_n in_o all_o woman_n that_o ever_o he_o deliver_v ever_o perceive_v

moreover_o have_v often_o see_v and_o dissect_v woman_n be_v dead_a a_o few_o day_n after_o their_o delivery_n it_o have_v be_v find_v a_o very_a difficult_a matter_n to_o separate_v these_o bone_n
