English: At Quiers, a fmall village fom ten miles from Turine in Savoy, in the year 1578. upon the feventeenth daie of Januarie, about eight a clock at night, an honeft matron brought forth a childe haveing five horns, lik to Ram's horns, fet opposite to one another upon his head: hee had alfo a long peece of flefh, like in fom fort to a French-hood which women ufed to wear, hanging down from his forehead by the nape of his neck almoft the length of his back: two other pieces of flefh, like the collar of a fhirt, were wrapped about his neck: the finger's ends of both his hand fomwhat refembled a Hawk's talons, and his knees feemed to bee in his hams: the right leg and the right foot were of a verie red color; the reft of the bodie was of a tawnie color: it is said hee gave fo terrible a scritch when hee was brought forth, that the Midwives, and the reft of the women that were at her labor, were fo frightened that they prefently left the houf and ran away. When the Duke of Savoy heard of this monfter, hee commanded it fhould be brought to him, which performed, one would hardly think what various cenfures the Courtiers gave of it. |
