WHICH Thing, happening so when it will, that _both FEET_ are excluded, whether done _spontaneously_ or by ART, they are never to be _repell’d_ or _thrust back_ again; but, on the contrary, the way is to be duly cleared for their PASSAGE; _This_ being a very commodious _Situation_, provided the CHILD be _well turned_, I mean, with _HEELS_ and _BUTTOCKS upwards_, and _TOES_ and _BELLY downwards_: Whereas, if otherways, the _CHIN_ may be easily hooked upon the _OSSA PUBIS_; which (if not so happily _turned_ at first) I commonly prevent in the most adviseable manner following; _viz._ UPON attracting the _INFANT_, I _turn_ it cautiously at the same time, using _both Hands_ in the ensuing _Method_; namely, The _One_ I put up under its _Body_ as far as possible, whilst with the _Other_ I hold both _FEET_ together: Insomuch that by this Means I gradually _turn_, not only the _FEET_ and the _LEGS_, but also the _whole Body_; bringing it always _forwards_ in the Interim, till at last it lies with its _BELLY downwards_, and is _out_ above half way: Upon this I then give my _Woman_ the Motion, to begin her LABOUR and endeavour her _Best_; because the _HEAD_ and _ARMS_ must necessarily pass through _All at once_. For notwithstanding the contrary Opinion of most _Authors_, who teach us to draw down the ARMS _one_ by _one_, and place them upon the _Body_, I cannot but agree with _Daventer_, and positively advise in _this_ and all such _other like Cases_, to leave the ARMS about the _HEAD_, that they may be excluded along with it: Because, as he says, tho’ the _Woman_ in so doing, is obliged to force her _INFANT forwards_ with all possible Endeavours, yet like a small transient CLOUD, it is soon over. WHEREFORE I commonly make it my Business to prevent the _Woman_’s _PAINS_, until I have brought the _CHILD_ this _Length_; when allowing her a little Time to rest, I heartily encourage and positively promise _Her_, that, she performing her _Part_ effectually, (by using all her _Strength_, and behaving herself as if the _PAINS_ were most really _pressing_ upon her, whether so or not) the _BIRTH_ will immediately succeed: And upon this _Promise_, with the _PATIENT_’s mutual Assistances concurring, I never yet fail’d; neither will any _Persons_ who faithfully and ingeniously follow this _Method_, in comfortably helping the _Woman_ upon such an Occasion, by drawing the _CHILD_ cautiously _downwards_, with whatsoever judicious _Force_: I mean not _downwards_, according to the _Woman_’s LENGTH, but _downwards_ towards the _strait Gut_. And as I every Moment insinuate to the _MOTHER_, that her _BABE_’s _Life_ depends entirely upon her vigorous confederate LABOUR; so _she_ mutually concurring with me, in endeavouring to do our _Best_, the AGRIPPA _INFANT_ is presently _brought forth_ to the great Satisfaction of _Both_.
