Optatos dedit amplexus, placid•…•…s{que} petiuit, Coniugis effusus gremio per membra soporem.Embracing me, soft slumber on him crept, And in her lap he laid him downe and slept.
(b) Without corruption] Therefore should the place of conception bee opened, saith T•…•…∣mas, and Bonauenture, for that must needes haue beene opened in child-birth: for bodies doe not penetrate one another. And this were no breach of integrity no more then opening of the mouth. For the integrity depends vpon the minde. Some hold that the •…•…atrix should * 1.1 haue opened at birth but keepe shut at copulation as it doth in the effusion of the menstruall bloud: and these hold with Augustine. (c) Menstruous] It beginnes in them when 〈◊〉〈◊〉 breasts begin to grow bigge: about the twelfth yeare of their age, it is like the bloud of a beast new killed, and happeneth once a month, more or lesse, in some much, and in some small. Arist. Hist. animal. lib. 7. (d) Maturity] Which as yet, at child-birth, extendeth and openeth the bones of the lower part of the belly, which at any other time can hardly bee cleft open with an hatchet: but then it should haue beene opened without paine, where as now the paine is extreame.
