_Midwives Licensed_ (Vol. ii., p. 408.).--On this subject I would refer
S.P.H.T. to Burn's _Ecclesiastical Law_, under the head of "Midwives,"
which is all nearly that can be ascertained at present on that head. Among
other things it says in the oath taken of them,--
"You shall not in anywise use or exercise any manner of witchcraft,
charm, or sorcery, invocation, or other prayers, than may stand with
God's law and the king's."
