A18903	A true and admirable historie, of a mayden of Confolens, in the prouince of Poictiers that for the space of three yeeres and more hath liued, and yet doth, vvithout receiuing either meate or drinke. Of whom, his Maiestie in person hath had the view, and, (by his commaund) his best and chiefest phisitians, haue tryed all meanes, to find, whether this fast & abstinence be by deceit or no. In this historie is also discoursed, whether a man may liue many dayes, moneths or yeeres, without receiuing any sustenance. Published by the Kings especiall priuiledge.; Abstinens Confolentanea. English	Citois, François, 1572-1652.; Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633.; Coeffeteau, Nicolas, 1574-1623, attributed name.	1603 (1603)	STC 5326; ESTC S118585	35,171	122

come_v to_o yield_v itself_o under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o one_o alone_a give_v thereby_o reasonable_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o course_n of_o life_n keep_v itself_o for_o so_o long_a time_n as_o
