The Fifth Example.
There is likewise, an undoubted Relation, of a poor, but a good Woman, belonging to the Congregation of the Reverend Mr. Daniel Burgess in London. She had for many years, laboured under a Fistula in her Hip, which had proceeded so far, that the very Bone was tainted, and she was turned out of the Hospital as Incurable. This person, Reading, with Prayer over it, that passage, in Mat. 15.28. Jesus said unto her, O Woman, Great is thy Faith; be it unto thee as thou wi•t; and feeling her Soul, by the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, carried forth unto a Great Faith in Him, she found her self immediately and miraculously, Cured of all her Malady. I have not now the Relation of this matter at hand; but this is as far as I can Remember, the substance of what I receive• ••••erning it. It was about the beginning of December, 1694.
