SUMMARY
David Lloyd's 1666 pamphlet, the principal contemporary attack on Greatrakes, prompted by a reportedly bad outcome from a stroking session at a London house on 7 March 1665/6. Catalogue record confirmed directly against the Wellcome Collection catalogue (work id dzvyf3vx): title, imprint 'London: Printed for Sam Speed, 1666', physical description fetched from the Wellcome Collection API. Cited to establish that Greatrakes's healing claims were contested by name in print during his own lifetime, and that Greatrakes's 1666 Brief Account was written partly to answer this pamphlet (per the DNB 1890 entry, separately cited).
NOTES
Wellcome Collection holds this pamphlet in closed stores (shelfmark EPB/B/33851); its IIIF digitization is access-restricted, so the routine did not read beyond the catalogued title and imprint. No content beyond the title, date, and existence of the “sad effect” episode named in the title is asserted from this source in the case body.
