The firft Inftance is the more remarkable, as well for 
the Girls being very young, and by confequence the 
PafTage of her Vrethra ftrait and fmall, as that the Store 
was extraordinary long, and confiderably large for one 
of her Years. The annext Figure exprefies exactly 
V.J%.2. enough both its Shape and Bignefs. The Child's Name 
was Sarah CooJke, about Six Years old; for fome Years 
paft (he had been fo miferably affli&ed w ith the Stone,
