Day after its Birth , being in the Nurses Lap , cryed out , to the great terrour of those that heard it , Mercy , Mercy , Repentance . The Skin of it was rough , like a Hair-Cloth . It continued the first Six Days , without taking any Food , and grew rougher and rougher ; on the following Days it took some Food , and on the 19th of that Moneth , was as big as a Child of 4 Years of Age ; from the 19th to the 22th , it continued alwayes kneeling , with its Arms a cross on another ; and on the 28th cryed out with a loud Voice , and its Eyes full of Tears , Poor Sicily , Poor France , Vnhappy Parma , Waste and Desolate Italy , Frightful Naples , Destroyed Burgundy , Poland full of Blood , Blood flows over all . The Inquisition has since taken this Child into their Custody .
