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 can_v take_v no_o sleep_n some_o when_o they_o can_v scant_o go_v will_v fall_v and_o break_v their_o face_n and_o their_o limb_n so_o that_o many_o time_n there_o be_v see_v about_o they_o many_o 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
