Sir Thomas Witherly, second Physician to the King, Deposeth,

THat on Sunday the Tenth of June, the Deponent was present in the Queen's Bed-chamber when the Prince of Wales was born; the Depo∣nent saw Mrs. Labadie bring the Child from the Midwife, and carry him in∣to the next Room, whither the Deponent followed her, and saw the Child before he was cleaned; and having a Command from the Queen, that there should be two drops of the blood of the After-burthen given the first thing; We the said Deponent and the other Physitians did take two drops of Blood from the Navel-string which remained upon the Child, and gave it in a spoon∣ful of Black-cherry-Water, as the Queen commanded. After this the Depo∣nent saw (as also did the other Physitians) the After-burthen entire.

Tho. Witherley.
