¶Of the Pappes. Capi. xxv.

IF the Pappes of a woman whi∣•h is w^t child of two do waxe lyttel, •he shall lose one child, and if it be y^e right Pappe it is a man childe, and if it be the lyft a woman.

If a woman, that neyther is with child, nother hath brought furthe a child, haue milke in her pappes, she is past her Floures.

Bloude drawing to the pappes of a woman, is a signe of the frenesy.

If thou wilt stoppe the floures of a woman, put a great ventose vpō her pappes.

Muche mylke yssuyng out of the tetes of a woman y^t is with child, be¦tokeneth the child to be very weake and feble, but if the pappes be hard the child is strong and helthful.

Lyke as the decreasing of the pap¦pes Page [unnumbered] is a signe of the destructyon of the child, so the hardnes of the same signifieth great paynes, in the pap∣pes, legges, knees, or eyes, and the lyfe of the child.
