[vergun]zosa a la mujer preñada. Y esta mesma vescosidad dan mucha pena y dolor a la mujer cuando pare. Tiene mal parto, y aun queda lastimada por dos o tres días. Y cuando pariere, dará muchas voces con el dolor, porque aquella vescosidad es pegajosa y no dexa salir la criatura libremente. Y esto porque recibió la simiente del varón cuando no convenía. Y para sacar la criatura es menester que la partera tenga mucha maña para no lastimar a la madre ni a la criatura. Y si la partera no tiene aquella destreza que conviene, muere la criatura ante de nacer o de acabar de nacer, porque se apega o se vuelve de lado. Y algunas veces también por esta causa muere la parida, porque con aquella vescosidad se pega y se revuelve en las pares, y no puede salir. Por eso muere dentro de su madre, y también la madre muere. Y el no cesar de la cópula carnal cuando es menester
