| | Choosing a Wet-nurse |
 | | Now, in chusing of a a Nurse, there are sixe things to be considered: Her birth and Parentage: her person: her behavior: her mind: her milke: and her child. |
 | | As for the quantitie of Milke: a Nurse should rather have too much, then too little: because when there is but little, it will be hard for the child to draw it; when as if there be plentie, it will come the easier, and even then thrust out it selfe. |
 | | Againe, the Nurse besides a sufficient quantitie for the nourishing of the child, must have some to milke into his eyes, if he should chance to have any imperfection there: as either heat, pimples, or itching, that so it may be cooled. |
