A63736	A true relation of the wonderful cure of Mary Maillard, lame almost ever since she was born, on Sunday the 26th of Nov. 1693 with the affidavits and certificates of the girl, and several other credible and worthy persons, who knew her both before and since her being cured : to which is added, a letter from Dr. Welwood to the Right Honourable the Lady Mayoress, upon that subject.	Welwood, James, 1652-1727.	1694 (1694)	Wing T3073; ESTC R13174	22,424	50

marie_n maillard_n age_n infancy_n be_v most_o common_o divide_v between_o little_a pastime_n and_o diversion_n and_o at_o thirteen_o year_n old_a we_o seldom_o have_v any_o thought_n of_o god_n and_o of_o regulate_v the_o way_n of_o our_o life_n yet_o this_o we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o girl_n we_o speak_v of_o be_v to_o be_v except_v out_o of_o this_o rule_n and_o whether_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o refugee_n oblige_v her_o parent_n to_o speak_v often_o to_o she_o of_o god_n than_o otherwise_o perhaps_o they_o may_v have_v do_v or_o else_o the_o discourse_n that_o be_v make_v she_o to_o comfort_v she_o concern_v her_o deformity_n touch_v her_o heart_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o girl_n have_v discover_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o of_o religion_n than_o be_v ordinary_o see_v in_o a_o riper_n age_n she_o be_v very_o well_o instruct_v in_o the_o first_o rudiment_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o she_o have_v for_o her_o year_n a_o competent_a knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n this_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o first_o witness_n the_o second_o be_v mademoiselle_n de_fw-fr loulan_n she_o be_v a_o honest_a gentlewoman_n who_o have_v always_o have_v a_o very_a good_a reputation_n she_o live_v a_o considerable_a time_n in_o the_o family_n of_o madam_n de_fw-fr turenne_n that_o incomparable_a princess_n who_o be_v less_o illustrious_a in_o her_o force_n high_a birth_n and_o rank_a she_o have_v in_o the_o world_n than_o in_o that_o which_o her_o piety_n have_v give_v her_o name_n in_o the_o church_n where_o her_o memory_n will_v be_v always_o celebrate_v this_o instance_n will_v be_v enough_o to_o recommend_v the_o reputation_n of_o mademoiselle_n de_fw-fr laulan_n but_o if_o we_o add_v to_o it_o her_o leave_v her_o husband_n in_o

than_o she_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o virtue_n be_v require_v for_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o that_o a_o person_n of_o her_o character_n can_v be_v suspect_v of_o invent_v a_o lie_n which_o beside_o the_o loss_n of_o her_o reputation_n be_v of_o no_o advantage_n to_o she_o in_o the_o world_n those_o who_o will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o testimony_n i_o have_v here_o give_v of_o she_o i_o be_o sure_a will_v be_v convince_v of_o it_o if_o they_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o inquire_v the_o character_n of_o mademoiselle_n de_fw-fr laulan_n of_o madam_n the_o countess_n de_fw-fr roye_n i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o take_v the_o liberty_n of_o mention_v here_o the_o name_n of_o this_o most_o noble_a lady_n but_o because_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o she_o will_v not_o refuse_v to_o do_v justice_n to_o the_o reputation_n of_o this_o gentlewoman_n and_o beside_o that_o she_o see_v a_o very_a few_o day_n before_o the_o girl_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o and_o also_o that_o

unjust_a to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o testimony_n i_o be_o not_o much_o give_v to_o be_v fond_o credulous_a but_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o number_n of_o people_n that_o have_v see_v this_o lame_a child_n and_o that_o she_o be_v not_o so_o now_o that_o there_o be_v no_o body_n who_o attribute_n the_o glory_n of_o cure_v she_o to_o himself_o and_o that_o her_o mistress_n and_o she_o depose_v that_o she_o be_v heal_v in_o the_o manner_n as_o we_o have_v relate_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a folly_n in_o any_o one_o to_o deny_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o fact_n as_o they_o have_v declare_v it_o this_o now_o be_v the_o narrative_a of_o this_o marvellous_a event_n which_o i_o have_v take_v from_o the_o affidavit_n and_o certificate_n hereunto_o

matter_n have_v be_v as_o we_o have_v relate_v it_o and_o this_o be_v what_o we_o shall_v see_v her_o thighbone_n have_v most_o certain_o be_v out_o of_o its_o place_n for_o above_o these_o twelve_o

that_o manner_n as_o i_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o she_o feel_v very_o great_a pain_n and_o behold_v in_o a_o instant_n this_o bone_n retake_v its_o place_n her_o leg_n become_v long_o again_o her_o foot_n and_o knee_n return_v to_o their_o natural_a situation_n her_o pain_n leave_v she_o now_o have_v there_o ever_o be_v any_o event_n more_o surprise_v i_o do_v believe_v i_o have_v a_o very_a just_a idea_n of_o event_n to_o which_o physician_n have_v ascribe_v the_o name_n of_o miracle_n of_o nature_n but_o i_o challenge_v any_o of_o they_o to_o find_v out_o in_o all_o the_o anual_n of_o their_o medicinal_a science_n one_o example_n so_o wonderful_a and_o astonish_a as_o this_o and_o all_o the_o philosopher_n in_o the_o world_n to_o explain_v it_o natural_o now_o though_o there_o shall_v be_v only_o this_o in_o it_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v they_o can_v not_o but_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o operation_n immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n but_o if_o a_o christian_a will_n superadd_a to_o it_o the_o remarkable_a circumstance_n of_o her_o read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o discourse_n that_o the_o girl_n have_v so_o full_a of_o faith_n at_o the_o time_n when_o her_o heal_n be_v effect_v i_o can_v believe_v but_o that_o he_o must_v confess_v that_o this_o here_o be_v as_o manifest_v and_o notorious_a a_o miracle_n as_o those_o the_o gospel_n speak_v of_o let_v we_o subjoin_v to_o this_o another_o reason_n all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o when_o a_o dislocate_v thigh_n or_o leg_n be_v put_v into_o its_o place_n by_o the_o skill_n of_o a_o artist_n the_o patient_n must_v keep_v his_o bed_n or_o repose_v himself_o for_o at_o least_o two_o or_o three_o week_n after_o there_o must_v be_v i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o binding_n about_o the_o place_n so_o set_v and_o a_o world_n of_o other_o necessary_a precaution_n use_v for_o without_o they_o they_o can_v never_o cure_v the_o evii_fw-la and_o human_o speak_v all_o the_o same_o care_n be_v as_o

her_o restore_a foot_n at_o that_o very_a moment_n she_o betake_v herself_o to_o walk_v and_o leap_v up_o and_o down_o the_o chamber_n and_o the_o next_o day_n instead_o of_o keep_v her_o bed_n she_o
