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

aethiopian_a i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o any_o more_o humane_a testimony_n but_o i_o will_v conclude_v with_o a_o strong_a warrant_n we_o read_v in_o gen._n 30.31_o how_o jacob_n have_v agree_v with_o laban_n to_o have_v all_o the_o spot_a sheep_n for_o keep_v of_o his_o flock_n to_o augment_v his_o wage_n take_v hasel-rod_n and_o pill_v white_a strike_v in_o they_o and_o lay_v they_o before_o the_o sheep_n when_o they_o come_v to_o drink_v and_o they_o couple_v there_o together_o whilst_o they_o behold_v the_o rod_n conceive_a and_o bring_v forth_o spot_v young_a the_o

monstrous_a birth_n happen_v by_o mean_n of_o undue_a copulation_n for_o some_o man_n and_o woman_n there_o be_v that_o have_v be_v long_o absent_a from_o each_o other_o and_o have_v a_o eager_a desire_n to_o enjoy_v one_o another_o consider_v not_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v what_o their_o circumstance_n be_v and_o if_o it_o happen_v that_o they_o come_v together_o at_o the_o time_n when_o the_o women_n menstrue_n be_v flow_v will_v notwithstanding_o proceed_v to_o the_o act_n of_o copulation_n which_o be_v both_o unclean_a and_o unnatural_a and_o the_o issue_n of_o such_o copulation_n do_v oftentimes_o prove_v monstrous_a as_o a_o just_a punishment_n for_o their_o lie_v together_o when_o nature_n bid_v they_o shall_v forbear_v and_o therefore_o though_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v never_o so_o eager_a for_o it_o yet_o woman_n know_v their_o own_o condition_n shall_v at_o such_o time_n refuse_v their_o company_n and_o though_o such_o copulation_n do_v not_o always_o produce_v monstrous_a birth_n yet_o the_o child_n then_o get_v be_v general_o heavy_a dull_a and_o sluggish_a and_o defective_a in_o their_o understanding_n want_v the_o vivacity_n and_o liveliness_n which_o child_n get_v in_o proper_a season_n be_v bless_v withal_o it_o remain_v that_o i_o now_o make_v some_o enquiry_n whether_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v monster_n have_v reasonable_a soul_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o resurrection_n and_o here_o both_o divine_n and_o physician_n be_v general_o of_o opinion_n that_o those_o who_o accordig_v to_o the_o order_n of_o generation_n deduce_v from_o our_o first_o parent_n and_o proceed_v by_o natural_a mean_n from_o either_o sex_n though_o their_o outward_a shape_n may_v be_v deform_v and_o monstrous_a have_v notwithstanding_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o consequent_o their_o body_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o resurrection_n as_o other_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v but_o those_o monster_n that_o be_v not_o beget_v by_o man_n but_o
