answer_v that_o nature_n very_o often_o send_v it_o forth_o by_o the_o nose_n mouth_n eye_n and_o ear_n by_o stool_n also_o and_o other_o part_n disburthen_v herself_o to_o the_o sick_a man_n ease_n and_o profit_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o delivery_n of_o woman_n for_o if_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o womb_n be_v close_v as_o it_o be_v see_v in_o diverse_a whether_o it_o be_v natural_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o strong_a and_o thick_a membrane_n which_o shut_v up_o the_o passage_n or_o other_o wise_a because_o some_o scar_n happen_v there_o have_v harden_v and_o shrink_v up_o the_o side_n of_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o say_a womb_n it_o will_v be_v impossible_a that_o nature_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v and_o break_v through_o thâ—se_a impediment_n for_o as_o for_o the_o one_o it_o be_v hard_o for_o a_o pen_n or_o quill_n to_o pass_v there_o and_o for_o the_o other_o you_o can_v put_v in_o a_o small_a probe_n through_o the_o little_a hole_n which_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o membrane_n and_o yet_o i_o have_v have_v the_o experience_n thereof_o in_o two_o woman_n which_o be_v never_o the_o less_o with_o child_n as_o i_o will_v show_v more_o at_o large_a hereafter_o so_o that_o either_o the_o surgeon_n help_n must_v be_v use_v or_o else_o both_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o child_n will_v die_v miserable_o some_o may_v object_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o mother_n may_v open_v the_o passage_n herself_o by_o tear_v the_o part_n so_o bind_v by_o the_o scar_n &_o break_v through_o the_o say_a membrane_n but_o what_o will_v you_o answer_v i_o for_o she_o which_o have_v her_o child_n turn_v awry_o and_o lie_v double_a in_o her_o womb_n and_o fall_v into_o a_o convulsion_n or_o flux_n of_o blood_n or_o both_o together_o the_o mother_n not_o

be_v impossible_a to_o turn_v it_o safe_a and_o sound_a except_o the_o chirurgeon_n use_v his_o industry_n and_o skill_n now_o for_o the_o dexterity_n there_o be_v no_o comparison_n between_o this_o and_o other_o practice_n for_o there_o be_v no_o work_n to_o be_v do_v in_o chirurgery_n where_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o have_v the_o benefit_n either_o of_o daylight_n or_o candle_n light_n and_o the_o part_n which_o be_v to_o be_v handle_v and_o dress_v must_v be_v apparent_a and_o lay_v open_a to_o the_o eye_n whereas_o contrariwise_o in_o this_o work_n as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o company_n present_a as_o also_o lest_o the_o woman_n shall_v be_v afraid_a the_o very_a entrance_n whereby_o he_o shall_v put_v in_o his_o hand_n they_o be_v constrain_v to_o hide_v and_o then_o

under_o it_o with_o the_o very_a weight_n so_o that_o it_o have_v need_v to_o be_v prop_v up_o with_o some_o thing_n or_o other_o now_o there_o be_v contrary_a to_o this_o another_o which_o be_v
