What manner of Chamber, the woman with child should lye in.

It doth not a little avail to the happy delivery, that the Chamber, wherein the Child-bearing woman lyeth, be tem∣perate, and be neither too cold nor too hot, for that shutteth up the mouth of the womb, and this disperseth and digesteth the strength. In Summer time therefore if heat scorcheth, the Chamber may be strowed with Willow leaves, and Vine leaves, and Rose-water, with a little Vinegar. In Winter, a high or upper Chamber, moderately kept warm, shall be con∣venient, which shall be kept warm with a continued fire, as is accustomed to be done in Italy, France, and other hot Countries.

But this is expedient every where, that the natural parts, and those nearest unto them, be moderately rubbed with hot clothes.
