WOnderful are the Productions of Nature , and great-to be admired , providence that Rules the world and orders all below , has marked out various and sundry Forms and shapes not usual , nor Common , but such as may fill all persons with Astonishment , for who can hear and not be amazed at what we here intend for to relate , a thing so monstrous strange and wonderful , the like of which has not been heard of nor seen in many Ages past , viz. A Female Infant , or more properly two Females joyned in one , so much beyond the skill of Art to make a separation between ; that all conclude them to be two destinct Bodies joyned so firmly in the Womb , Back to Back . It 's first appearance in the World was about the 6th Instant of May , after a long expectation , and a tedious Trauel . The groaning Mother was disburthened of the Monstrous B●rth , whose frightful Apparition so amazed the several Assistants and Spectators , that starting back all pale , they knew not what to think , but long time stood doubtful in their wonder , e're they durst approach , supposing it more dreadful than it was , but after a more curious View , they found it was a humain Creature , and bore the stamp ( though in an unusual Form ) of woman , so that taking heart , they annimated each other so far , as to take it in their Arms , whilst with a double Voice it cried aloud , and found it in all proportions as followeth , viz. That it had two perfect heads , as large and as lively as any Children usually have at their Births ; which were supported by two different Necks , which grow from the united Body or Bodies , two Female Feces , beautiful , fair , and of a pleasanc Aspect ; in which were plainly imprinted all the smiling Graces of well-promising Virgins ; two roling Eyes each Face contained , two Ears , both in their proper places . Upon each Noses and Mouthes , of fit and proportionable Largeness , the Bod●es joyning Back to Back , two Arms grew on one side and two on the other , with all their joynts as pliable and Active as tender streng●h could allow , at the end of each Arm a fair hand with Finge●s , Thumbs , and all placed in due Order , having in all sixteen Fingers and four Thumbs ; the brest-bones and Ribs divided from each other , so curious was Nature in perfecting the work , that it would not leave any thing out of Frame , the very Nipple ; though but small appearing a due number of Ribs and a panting Heart on each left side , so that all believe notwithstanding this wondrous Conjunction that it contains two dividual Souls so wonderful are all the works of the omnipotent Creator , who formed us of Dust , and so can make us as it best pleases him . But when the Infant or Infants , which you please , cry , their Voices or Cries are of the self same note , though 't is seldome that both heads cry together . The Backs being joyned , two Bellies do equally appear , with Navels Bowels and all other things requisite in Nature as Female-Privi●te , places of Evacuation and the like ; so that there remains no imperfection to perfect two Females , only their strict conjunction in one , four Legs likewise are in order joyned and placed , having Toes and Feet proportionable to the great consternation and amazement of many hundreds who dayly flock thither to see the monstrous work of Nature , and admire so great a place of curiosity during the time of the Mothers Travel she was so big and unwieldy , that all concluded that she would have two Children or Twins at that Birth ; which observations and asseverations did not altogether fail , though it happened at a more strange rate than was expected , the Father of this duplicit or double infant , is as it is averred , no other than a poor honest laborious man and takes great pains for the Maintainance of himself and his Family being a Man of very honest Repute , and free from all aspersions of Vice or exorbitances , the which as to many of the censorious of this Age might have imputed the Cause of so strange an accident , yet not altogether to leave the Reader in an extasie of thought or admiration at this wonderful birth of nature and work of providence , there is several learned Historians that make mention of the like tho 't is very rare , for as it is recorded by a warrantable Author in his Book of Nature , of the like Birth that hapned , and that the Children so joyned in the womb being brought forth did live for several years : being chearful and pleasant , endued with undrrstanding and all other capacities incident to ratiooal souls , and that they so continued , till one of them dying and by reason there could not be made a Section to separate the dead from the living without hazarding the Life of the remaining , he continued alive till the noisomeness of the deceased infected him , and thereby , and by no other Cause as could be conjoctured he dyed . So may we see the wonders of the omnipotent God , and that we can or ought to do herein , is to adore his Divine Majesty , and with the Prophet say , This is the Lords doing , and it is marvellous in our Eyes .
