To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, when nothing prevailed, as shee kneeled, I drew away the dead child with the crochet. Shee recovered ; it was much to bee wondered, that this tossing affliction had not set her body in a loosnes. It may so happen, That the chirurgion cannot alwayes draw forth the child's head with the crochet, when that the skull is separated, and the skin very rotten, and so it cannot keep any hold. In this case lay aside the instrument, and, with your fingers, put into the wound made by the crochet, and ...your thumb placed outwardly over the skin, and the bones of the head joined together, draw leasurely. It so may follow by this way, that you may draw forth the rotten body, holding the bones, and skin together between your thumb, and fingers. But, if this way also faileth, then again fix your instrument in some part of the neck towards the head, or about the upper part of the shoulder, or breast. Sever all honest women, chiefly in the time of their first bringing forth of children, have sadly suffered by ignorant, robustious midwives, in putting them to kneele, or to sit on their stooles, or woman's laps, Head.
