Sida 54 - Geftures, by way of rejoycing and triumph. I was by while this was performing on Lacenta's Lady : And perceiving their Ignorance, told Lacenta, That if he pleafed, I would fhew him a better way, without putting the Patient to fo much Torment. Let me fee, fays he ; and at his command, I bound up her Arm with a piece of Bark, and with my Lancet breathed a Vein : But this rafh attempt had like to have coft me my Life.
