woman_n that_o be_v in_o a_o very_a sad_a condition_n the_o midwife_n have_v bring_v the_o head_n of_o the_o child_n into_o the_o world_n and_o the_o womb_n close_v about_o the_o neck_n and_o hinder_v the_o egress_n of_o the_o rest_n this_o accident_n may_v happen_v through_o the_o laziness_n of_o the_o midwife_n in_o lose_v time_n and_o not_o draw_v forth_o the_o child_n when_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o move_n or_o not_o keep_v touch_n with_o the_o mother_n endeavour_n sometime_o indeed_o the_o head_n be_v small_a and_o disproportionate_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n the_o shoulder_n large_a and_o broad_a so_o they_o stick_v in_o the_o passage_n unless_o forward_v by_o help_n of_o art_n in_o this_o case_n i_o use_v to_o put_v my_o finger_n first_o under_o one_o arm_n then_o under_o the_o other_o and_o so_o forward_o they_o by_o degree_n but_o withal_o very_o gentle_o and_o cautious_o and_o observe_v the_o mother_n endeavour_n all_o which_o if_o right_o manage_v will_v make_v a_o quick_a birth_n but_o i_o must_v again_o caution_n you_o to_o make_v as_o much_o use_n as_o you_o can_v of_o the_o woman_n be_v own_o pressure_n for_o if_o you_o discourage_v or_o prevent_v she_o bear_v down_o all_o her_o pain_n will_v vanish_v and_o so_o the_o child_n perish_v lock_v up_o in_o the_o passage_n sometime_o both_o hand_n come_v forth_o first_fw-mi together_o and_o leave_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n in_o prison_n i_o remember_v a_o remarkable_a instance_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o circumstantial_a account_n of_o i_o be_v call_v for_o in_o great_a haste_n to_o attend_v a_o woman_n in_o labour_n the_o midwife_n say_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v send_v for_o no_o body_n that_o she_o will_v finish_v the_o work_n herself_o have_v bring_v part_n of_o the_o child_n to_o the_o world_n already_o and_o the_o rest_n will_v quick_o follow_v if_o they_o will_v but_o have_v patience_n she_o add_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sergeons_n province_n it_o be_v she_o that_o if_o dr._n chamberlain_n come_v or_o any_o body_n else_o she_o will_v not_o quit_v her_o stool_n nor_o yield_v her_o ●●●ce_n to_o any_o body_n i_o come_v and_o be_v amaze_v to_o see_v the_o midwife_n so_o resolute_a and_o confident_a of_o her_o own_o undertake_n i_o say_v nothing_o but_o retire_v into_o the_o next_o room_n at_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o gentlewoman_n mother_n and_o husband_n the_o midwife_n continue_v tug_v and_o sweat_v and_o after_o all_o she_o begin_v to_o see_v that_o all_o her_o endeavour_n be_v in_o vain_a so_o she_o start_v up_o and_o drink_v a_o good_a draught_n of_o cinnamon_n water_n instead_o of_o the_o poor_a gentlewoman_n this_o give_v she_o a_o little_a assurance_n so_o she_o blunt_o cry_v i_o care_v not_o he_o may_v come_v if_o he_o will_n so_o i_o be_v call_v in_o and_o find_v the_o midwife_n a_o little_o soft_a in_o her_o temper_n but_o the_o poor_a woman_n almost_o spend_v however_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o satisfy_v my_o own_o curiosity_n and_o to_o try_v if_o i_o can_v do_v she_o any_o service_n i_o examine_v how_o case_n stand_v with_o she_o and_o find_v that_o that_o part_n which_o the_o midwife_n cry_v be_v already_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v the_o two_o hand_n which_o she_o have_v almost_o lug_v off_o i_o present_o alter_v the_o posture_n of_o the_o woman_n lay_v her_o hip_n a_o little_a high_o than_o her_o head_n the_o head_n of_o the_o child_n lie_v partly_o on_o the_o sharebone_n and_o towards_o the_o right_a groin_n i_o cause_v she_o therefore_o to_o lean_v a_o little_a to_o the_o opposite_a side_n in_o order_n to_o recover_v the_o right_a posture_n by_o this_o mean_n through_o god_n be_v blessing_n i_o put_v the_o two_o hand_n back_o and_o bring_v the_o head_n towards_o the_o birth_n this_o give_v i_o some_o hope_n so_o i_o encourage_v the_o woman_n to_o forward_o her_o pain_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a and_o give_v she_o as_o much_o of_o the_o cinnamon_n water_n as_o her_o goodly_a midwife_n have_v please_v to_o leave_v and_o mix_v it_o with_o some_o drop_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o hartshorn_n this_o do_v it_o be_v not_o long_o before_o i_o bring_v the_o child_n fair_o into_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o both_o arm_n and_o breast_n so_o prodigious_o mortify_v that_o all_o the_o woman_n stand_v in_o amazement_n but_o the_o mother_n be_v still_o alive_a and_o healthy_a i_o have_v lay_v she_o twice_o since_o of_o live_v child_n in_o such_o case_n as_o this_o be_v i_o will_v advise_v all_o woman_n to_o send_v for_o assistance_n as_o speedy_o as_o they_o can_v because_o many_o woman_n and_o child_n be_v murder_v after_o this_o manner_n another_o sort_n of_o unnatural_a labour_n be_v when_o both_o hand_n and_o foot_n come_v together_o it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a the_o child_n shall_v be_v bear_v so_o therefore_o some_o method_n of_o recover_v the_o right_a posture_n must_v be_v think_v of_o i_o ve_fw-la meet_v with_o such_o a_o case_n when_o the_o midwife_n have_v pull_v and_o lug_v with_o all_o her_o force_n and_o might_n but_o still_o in_o vain_a at_o length_n she_o bid_v they_o send_v for_o a_o man_n but_o withal_o confident_o affirm_v that_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n can_v do_v more_o than_o she_o do_v when_o i_o come_v i_o find_v that_o her_o lug_a and_o pull_v have_v so_o fix_v the_o child_n in_o the_o passage_n that_o i_o be_v hardly_o able_a to_o put_v it_o back_o but_o wi●●_n much_o ado_n i_o turn_v it_o and_o give_v the_o woman_n a_o good_a spoonful_n of_o my_o

back_o and_o turn_v the_o head_n towards_o the_o birth_n and_o thus_o bring_v forth_o a_o live_a child_n i_o deliver_v a_o woman_n once_o when_o the_o child_n advance_v its_o breech_n foremost_a though_o it_o often_o void_v the_o ordure_n by_o its_o fundament_n i_o gentle_o slide_v up_o my_o hand_n on_o each_o side_n the_o buttock_n and_o introduce_v they_o by_o degree_n into_o the_o groin_n

the_o navel-string_n come_v first_o than_o you_o must_v endeavour_v to_o put_v the_o child_n back_o and_o turn_v it_o till_o you_o get_v hold_v of_o the_o foot_n and_o then_o convey_v it_o gentle_o through_o the_o passage_n if_o the_o burden_n offer_v first_o or_o come_v quite_o forth_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o child_n be_v dead_a or_o near_o to_o death_n it_o be_v general_o accompany_v

possible_a in_o bring_v the_o child_n into_o the_o world_n for_o if_o you_o delay_v convulsion_n may_v happen_v and_o then_o both_o mother_n and_o child_n be_v in_o great_a danger_n i_o remember_v to_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o pretty_a odd_a circumstance_n which_o i_o think_v it_o not_o improper_a to_o insert_v here_o a_o gentlewoman_n go_v with_o her_o first_o child_n by_o harken_v to_o
