Some time afterwards, Nan Beets was at the house [ aforesaid ], where [ she was overcome by such nausea that she sent for Tryn Jonas, the midwife, in her, Catelina’s [name? ], which midwife came there and immediately went away again; also, that she never saw any child, but heard her say: “Mr. Smith wants me back for the sake of the child that I am carrying.” Done the 31st of August anno 1642.
