This skin or Call might nor may not be without the con∣ception, and after the childe is conceiued and come to the li∣niaments, forme and shape of a creature, there is a pellicle, a skin or a call, that doth grow incircūfecence about the childe, and when that doth breake the childe is redie to be borne, & then the childe doth come before, and the pellicle or skin doth come after, if it doe not folow after the childe is deliuered from the mother, the mother is in great daunger.

A remedy.
