The child was a fearful and rarely prodigious Monster: It had no head, but a face which stood so low on the breast, as the ears, most like an Apes ears, grew on the shoulders, the eyes and mouth stood far out, the nose was hooking upward, the breast and back was full of sharp prickles like a Thornback, the Navel and all the belly, with the distinction of the sex, were where the lower part of the back and hips should have been, and those back-parts were on the side the face stood, the arms and hands were as other children's, but instead of toes, it had upon each foot three claws, with talons like a young foul, upon the back above the belly, it had two great holes like mouths, and in each of them stuck out a piece of flesh, it had no forehead, but in the place thereof above the eyes four horns, whereof two were above an inch long, hard and sharp, the other two shorter.
