A75579 Aristotle's master-piece compleated in two parts: the first containing the secrets of generation, in all the parts thereof. Treating, of the benefit of marriage, and the prejudice of unequal matches, signs of insufficiency in men or women; of the infusion of the soul; of the likeness of children to parents; of monstrous births; the cause and cure of the green-sickness: a discourse of virginity. Directions and cautions for mid-wives. Of the organs of generation in women, and the fabrick of the womb. The use and action of the genitals. Signs of conception, and whether of a male or female. With a word of advice to both sexes in the act of copulation. And the pictures of several monstrous births, &c. The second part, being a private looking-glass for the female sex. Treating of the various maladies of the womb; and of all other distempers incident to women of all ages, with proper remedies for the cure of each. The whole being more correct, than any thing of this kind hitherto published.; Aristotle's Masterpiece. Aristotle, attributed name.; Salmon, William, 1644-1713. 1697 (1697) Wing A3697kA; ESTC R230121 84,412 197

when_o it_o begin_v to_o move_v and_o when_o bear_v if_o in_o due_a season_n for_o in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o infant_n he_o affirm_v that_o if_o it_o be_v a_o male_a and_o he_o be_v

from_o these_o pass_n of_o day_n and_o month_n it_o plain_o appear_v that_o the_o day_n of_o form_v be_v double_v make_v up_o the_o day_n of_o move_v and_o that_o day_n three_o time_n reckon_v make_v

long_o perfect_v in_o the_o womb_n the_o mother_n ever_o go_v long_o with_o a_o boy_n than_o a_o girl_n so_o that_o the_o account_n differ_v for_o a_o female_a form_v in_o 30_o day_n move_v not_o
