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.

all_o which_o be_v now_o entire_o change_v so_o that_o the_o work_n be_v complete_a and_o though_o it_o may_v be_v suitable_a to_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n of_o the_o supreme_a mind_n to_o give_v

no_o derogation_n from_o the_o miracle_n our_o saviour_n wrought_v upon_o earth_n that_o a_o flame_n of_o imagination_n set_v the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o a_o swift_a motion_n and_o thereby_o raise_v

i_o shall_v not_o perhaps_o contradict_v the_o principle_n of_o philosophy_n nor_o the_o oeconomy_n of_o faith_n for_o we_o find_v in_o holy_a writ_n that_o there_o be_v requisite_a towards_o their_o cure_n a_o belief_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o operator_n which_o though_o it_o be_v proper_o a_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n yet_o it_o must_v certain_o have_v produce_v a_o mighty_a flame_n of_o imagination_n and_o a_o rapid_a motion_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n but_o this_o be_v a_o thought_n i_o dare_v scarce_o warrant_v myself_o in_o and_o therefore_o i_o wish_v it_o almost_o unsay_v but_o whatever_o effect_n this_o rapidity_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n raise_v by_o a_o strong_a impression_n on_o the_o imagination_n may_v produce_v in_o lay_v or_o raise_v fermentation_n in_o the_o body_n or_o alter_v the_o crases_n of_o the_o fluid_n it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a at_o least_o high_o improbable_a that_o any_o such_o impression_n of_o fancy_n can_v restore_v a_o bone_n long_o dislocate_v into_o its_o proper_a place_n where_o both_o the_o recipient_a and_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v receive_v be_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n from_o anatomy_n and_o the_o structure_n of_o the_o part_n render_v utter_o unfit_a for_o such_o a_o rejunction_n if_o it_o be_v say_v why_o shall_v god_n work_v such_o a_o miracle_n if_o it_o be_v any_o as_o i_o shall_v never_o determine_v i_o must_v own_v to_o your_o ladyship_n that_o if_o i_o do_v not_o know_v all_o the_o secret_n of_o nature_n i_o do_v much_o less_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o the_o

be_v occasion_n enough_o for_o it_o since_o the_o very_a existence_n of_o a_o supreme_a be_v and_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v so_o much_o question_v nor_o need_v we_o search_v long_o to_o
