of the mouth, or other secret places: Wherefore some Iudges cause them,
once being called into question, and accused, to be shauen all the
body[f] ouer. And for the manner of impression, or branding, it is after

ful of paine & anguish vntill his return againe: at which time hee doth
so benumme the same, that though it be pierced with any sharpe
instrument, yet is without any sence of feeling, and will not yeeld one
droppe of bloud at all: a matter knowne by iust, often, and due triall.
