April 26. 1666. Mr Boyle's, Sir W. Smith's,
Dr. Denton's, and Dr. Faireclough's Testimony.
ANne Kelly of Shalin gate in the Parish of Old
Windsor, 21 years old, hath had the Dead
Palsey 14 years on the right side, not able to go,
nor to lift her hand to her head: She was first
touched by Mr. Greatrak's the beginning of April
1666. who found ease the first day she was touch∣ed,
and so got strength more and more every day;
and now, being the 26th of April 66. she goes well
without help of any stick, and hath very good
use of her right Arm, heretofore useless; only she
goes as if her right Leg were somewhat shorter
then the left.
Examined 26 Apr.
66. by
Robert Boyle.
W. Smith.
Gul. Denton. M. D.
Ja. Faireclough, M. D.
