Of this Nature, was one seen by _Casp. Bauh._[34], and _Fæl. Plat_, who was called _Anne_, about 23 Years old, and was hir’d as a Maid Servant to a Countryman; The Master observ’d, that this Servant, upon some Occasions, was in greater favour with his Wife, than himself; and therefore brought the Affair before a Magistrate, who committed the Examination of the Person to these two Physicians, the former of whom gives the following Account of the Matter[35]: ‘He was tall and thin, having a Masculine Voice, a long Head of Hair, and only some softish Hairs on his Chin, (for he us’d to pluck his Beard with a Tweezer as fast it grew) he had no Breasts, but was hairy about the Pubis, and had a long Penis, and the Præputium drawn back and well worn; he had no Scrotum nor Testes that were visible: Under the Penis, in the Perinæum, where Lithotomy is commonly perform’d, there was a kind of Chink, about half a Finger’s Joint deep, _&c._ from all which we judg’d him a Man rather than a Woman. Being ask’d concerning his venereal Performances, he confess’d, that he had cohabited with several Whores, with a seminal Ejection and much Pleasure; and further, that whenever he had to do with any, or ever had an Erection of his Penis, a Testicle swell’d in his Right-Groin, (for sometimes the Testes do not descend into the Scrotum, but remain in the Inguina) which we perceiv’d by touching, but that on the left Side, nothing was to be perceiv’d neither during the Coitus nor otherwise; nor did any thing ever flow from the aforesaid Rima or Chink.’ Here was therefore a perfect Man, mistaken for a Female Child at the Birth, on account of the invisibility of the Testes, and the Appearance of that superficial Chink in the Perinæum[36]. 3. A Third Reason for such Reports has been taken from Boys having been concealed in Female Dresses, for some political or family Occasions, and so continu’d under that Acceptation, till either Matters came to such a Crisis as render’d their Case less dangerous, or till Beards and other Signs of Virility have occasion’d a Declaration of their true Sex, and a Change of Habit. The Vulgar now make a Rumour of a miraculous Change in Children, whom they before accepted of as Females; the Report takes wing, and is catch’d by several who commit the Story superstitiously to Posterity, without any Manner of Enquiry into the Nature of the Thing.
