AS the three preceeding _Chapters_ concern only the Extremities of an _obliquated_ WOMB, so they necessarily lead me in this Place to offer a short _Hint_ Upon the _Median_ or _Less oblique Uterine Positions_. Which notwithstanding their great _Variety_, according to the just Comparison formerly made[176], I shall for Brevity-sake comprehend in _One_, and treat of in general _Terms_ as subsequently follows. I. I observe that however conspicuous and remarkable the _Difference_ of these _Preternatural Postures_ may be, especially _That_ betwixt the _Four_ mention’d _Extremes_ and the _Natural Situation_ of the WOMB; yet I fear, that there is too much Reason to suspect, that this _Difference_ is but little known to the generality of _Practitioners_ in _MIDWIFERY_, otherways I am sure _Patience_ would not be so much cry’d up, or at least _Time_ would not be so much trifled away, (at every difficult _LABOUR_) by the _Ordinary Boethogynists_, neither would the Use of _SHARPS_ be so much practis’d by the _Extraordinary MIDWIFE_. II. I observe, that tho’ a WOMB _less oblique_, occasions a _less Difficult_, or more easy _BIRTH_, than any of the _Extremes_, yet the least Degree of an _oblique uterine Posture_, may be of great Hindrance, and imminent Danger to the _Woman_, whose attending _MIDWIFE_ is ignorant of it, as well as of the exact _Method_ of restoring it to its _Natural State_. III. I would observe by the way, that as the fatal _Consequences_ of such Ignorance, have already been sufficiently precaution’d in the preceeding _Chapters_; so it would be _supervacaneous_, and altogether needless to re-assume or repeat them in _This_: Wherefore I shall only farther, once for all, exhort and adjure such _MIDWIVES_, as have any regard for their own _Consciences_, and the _Lives_ of their Neighbours, that they would qualify themselves duly in these excellent Points of Knowledge. And _This_ I have the more Reason to inculcate, because I never yet knew an assiduous _MIDWIFE_, who was _thus perfectly_ well endued with the _essential Qualifications_ of her PROFESSION, but the great _GOD_ rather (to whom the Glory of all Things is due) perpetually compleated his own _Gifts_, and crown’d the _Labour_ of her Hands with desirable _Success_.
