I Underwritten, Iames Gorgo, born in Switzer∣land, Gun-smith, living at present in Graf∣ton-street, Sohoe, in Westminster, at the Sign of the Lance, do hereby Certify, that while I lived in the City of Xaintes, the Metropolis of Xiantonge, I Lodg'd in the House of one
Ioguet, Sword-Cutler, where I have often seen Mary Maillard his Niece, Daughter to Iohn Maillard, and Charlotte du Dognon, who was about a Twelve Month old, and exceed∣ing Lame. I also declare that I have seen her within these four years and a half, in this City at my own House, in which her Father and Mother lodg'd for some time, still very Lame, and in so deplorable a condition, that being thereby mov'd to Compassion, I resolved to make her a kind of an Artificial Leg, to sup∣port her; but yet I did not do it, by reason of her Father and Mother's negligence. This is all I have to say about this Girl, excepting that she is now no longer Lame, and that her Father and Mother, whom I have all along known to be very honest People, have assurd me that she was Miraculously cur'd on Sunday being the 26th of N••vember last past, without the least humane assistance,
London December the 18th 1693.
Iames Gorgo.
