if_o the_o child_n have_v a_o great_a head_n and_o stick_v by_o the_o way_n the_o midwife_n must_v anoint_v the_o place_n with_o oil_n as_o before_o and_o enlarge_v the_o part_n as_o much_o as_o may_v

else_o to_o bind_v the_o foot_n as_o they_o come_v out_o with_o some_o linen_n cloth_n and_o tender_o to_o help_v delivery_n but_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o it_o sometime_o the_o child_n will_v

that_o her_o head_n be_v low_a than_o her_o body_n then_o let_v the_o midwife_n with_o her_o hand_n gentle_o put_v back_o the_o leg_n that_o be_v come_v forth_o into_o the_o womb_n again_o and_o bid_v

of_o the_o child_n come_v towards_o the_o passage_n she_o must_v turn_v the_o child_n
to_o its_o natural_a posture_n but_o if_o it_o come_v the_o foot_n forward_o and_o the_o leg_n abroad_o she_o must_v join_v the_o leg_n and_o foot_n together_o take_v care_n that_o she_o remove_v

both_o foot_n together_o to_o come_v forth_o so_o all_o at_o once_o she_o must_v take_v the_o child_n careful_o by_o the_o head_n and_o put_v the_o leg_n upward_o to_o take_v it_o forth_o if_o the_o

if_o a_o woman_n have_v two_o child_n at_o once_o that_o come_v together_o headlong_o she_o must_v take_v forth_o one_o after_o the_o other_o but_o beware_v the_o other_o retreat_n not_o back_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n so_o also_o must_v she_o receive_v they_o both_o that_o come_v together_o with_o the_o foot_n forward_o take_v they_o out_o one_o after_o the_o other_o if_o they_o come_v one_o with_o his_o foot_n the_o other_o with_o the_o head_n forward_o at_o the_o same_o time_n she_o must_v receive_v that_o first_o which_o be_v most_o likely_a and_o next_o the_o passage_n and_o that_o which_o come_v with_o the_o foot_n first_o if_o she_o can_v receive_v last_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o do_v not_o hurt_v one_o the_o other_o but_o let_v this_o general_a rule_n be_v observe_v

ii_o to_o know_v the_o fit_a time_n when_o the_o child_n be_v ready_a to_o be_v bear_v i_o shall_v desire_v all_o midwife_n to_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o give_v any_o thing_n inward_o to_o hasten_v

the_o mother_n life_n to_o drive_v forth_o the_o child_n but_o there_o be_v great_a skill_n and_o care_n to_o be_v use_v or_o the_o woman_n be_v as_o good_a be_v set_v upon_o the_o rack_n it_o be_v hard_o to_o know_v when_o the_o true_a time_n of_o her_o travel_n be_v near_o because_o many_o woman_n have_v great_a pain_n many_o week_n before_o the_o time_n of_o delivery_n come_v but_o i_o think_v the_o heat_n of_o their_o reins_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o pain_n but_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o reins_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o or_o not_o for_o if_o their_o leg_n swell_v their_o reins_o be_v too_o hot_a and_o the_o cure_n will_v be_v to_o anoint_v their_o back_n to_o cool_v the_o reins_o with_o oil_n of_o poppy_n water_n lily_n or_o violet_n woman_n who_o reins_o be_v hot_a have_v always_o hard_a labour_n a_o strong_a decoction_n of_o plantain_n leaf_n and_o root_n in_o water_n then_o strain_v and_o clarify_v with_o the_o white_a of_o a_o

be_v near_o this_o be_v the_o true_a sign_n that_o be_v for_o when_o those_o skin_n be_v break_v the_o infant_n can_v no_o long_o stay_v there_o than_o a_o naked_a man_n in_o a_o heap_n of_o snow_n these_o water_n make_v the_o part_n slippery_a and_o the_o birth_n easy_a if_o the_o child_n come_v present_o with_o they_o but_o if_o it_o stay_v long_o till_o the_o part_n grow_v dry_a it_o will_v be_v hard_a therefore_o midwife_n do_v ill_a to_o rend_v these_o skin_n open_a with_o their_o nail_n to_o make_v way_n for_o the_o water_n to_o come_v nature_n will_v make_v it_o come_v forth_o only_o when_o she_o need_v it_o and_o not_o before_o but_o if_o the_o water_n breakaway_n long_o before_o the_o birth_n it_o be_v safe_a to_o give_v medicament_n to_o drive_v the_o birth_n after_o the_o
