The Great CURES And Strange MIRACLES Performed by Mr. Valentine Gertrux, since his coming out of Ireland to the City of LONDON.  
AS for the great Cures performed by Mr. Valentine Gertrux, formerly a Lieutenant for King and Parliament in the Kingdom of Ireland, and a Gentleman of a considerable Estate in those Parts, having the Character of a very sober, discreet, civil, and pious Person; and having such a full Concurrence of Testimonies, concerning the truth of this Relation about him, that it is obvious and manifest, that what he does, is wrought by the power of a Divine Hand. Besides, the Confirmation from Captain Haslel of Plymouth, which he had from his Son in Waterford; as also from Captain Lancaster, and others, may be sufficient to evince the truth of these following particulars: Together with a Letter from one Mr▪ Beacher in Youghal, containing a very sober and rational account, to this effect:  
Sir, Considering the great things done by Mr. Gertrux, to be both stupendious, and full of admiration, I went to Affans, near to his own house, and there found a great Concourse of people; and going in, standing close by him, saw him to stroke them, causing them to strip off their clothes where their pains and griefs were; I saw him touch many of the Kings. Evil, and others whom he had cured, came to acknowledge it; I faw him heal 8 of the Dead Palsy of their Arms and Legs, who after he had touched, had instantly the right use of their Limbs; I also saw him touch above 60 more, many being troubled with the Falling-sickness, some whereof being suddenly surprised in the Room, foaming at the Mouth, and wallowing on the Ground, as soon as he had touched their breast with his Hand, their pain ceased, and they stood up, and said, they were very well. Many deaf persons also he restored to their Hearing, and others troubled with Convulsion Fits he oured by stroking; Two poor Cripples also coming into his Chamber halting on their Crutches, whom when he had stroaked where their pain lay, they immodiatly walked about the Room; And going forth, one of them not minding his Crutches, left them behind him; but he called him back, saying, Friend take away thy Crutches, for I hope here will be no need of them; and so the poor man went merrily forth with them in his hand. Since his coming from Ireland, he has also cured divers in the West of England; the like blessing has attended him since his arrive at the City of London; for not only before divers persons of Honour, on Friday and Saturday last, but also before the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor on Sabbath-day last, divers forts of persons addressed themselves, and received much good; the like in Ch●●●…r house yard on Monday-morning last, where the Son of Captain Burroughs was, who had been touched for his Eyesight; and received great help.  
He takes awy all sorts of pain and old Aches, though of twelve, sixteen or twenty years' continuance, or longer, only with stroking and smoothing the party grieved with his Hand: for immediately upon laying his Hand upon the part grieved, the pain removes; and if at any time they feel it sensibly in another part of the body; as, from the back to the breast, from thence into the Legs and Arms, or other extreme parts, and when the party telleth him where it is removed, he followeth it with his hand, which driveth it out, sometimes at the finger's ends, sometimes at the Toes, other times at the Crown of the Head, and sometimes at the Mouth; and when the person saith, it is gone, and he feeleth no more pain, He biddeth him be gone, and glorify GOD, and forsake his sins. He doth it freely unto all, and is so far from taking any Reward, that he doth not allow them to give him Thanks; but bids them praise and thank the LORD, for that he hath vouchsased to make use of such a poor Instrument, as he doth, to do them good. And as People of all sorts of Diseases and Distempers did daily resort to him in Ireland, so do they here in England also; many having received not only a perfect Cure, but others likewise present ease at his first stroking of them; amongst whom, Mr. Lee, a worthy Citizen, presenting of himself before him, being troubled with a great Deafness; and a dead Palsy in his hands, as soon as he was stroked, sound a great deal of warmth in his hands, a comfortable compliance and nimbleness of Joints, and a perfect restauration of his former Sense of Hearing;  
Praise be to the most High.  
FINIS.   

POSTSCRIPT.  
IT is now clear this Gentleman hath no universal Charm against all Diseases, as some out of prejudice at first conceived, but that the Things are absolutely wrought by the power of a Divine Hand, in which there can be no Juggle or Delusion, as to the Verity thereof; the Truth being evinced by many hundreds of Eye-witnesses; for he only calleth upon the Name of God whilst he is doing of it, and though briefly, yet divinely.
