In Barke shire neer Sherefield Court a certain woman being taken with Congelation or sudden lameness of her whole body and constrained thereby to keep her bed continually for two years or more without any help or remedy although she experimented the skill of many as well Physitians as others by drinking the prepared Liquor of this Cup and bathing all the grieved parts therewith She speedily and perfectly recovered her health strength and agility of her congealed limbs that within fourteen dayes she came on foot seven miles to render thanks and to acknowledge the benefit she had received 49.
