Pamphlet title: The murderous midwife, with her roasted punishment: being a true and full relation of a midwife that was put into an iron cage with sixteen wild-cats, and so roasted to death, by hanging over a fire, for having found in her house-of-office no less than sixty two children, at Paris in France. (London, 1673, pamphlet, 6 pages)
Note: A “house-of-office” is what we today call an “outhouse.”
