SUMMARY

Henry Stubbe's 1666 pamphlet defending Greatrakes, framed as a letter to Robert Boyle and titled to promise a 'physicall discourse' upon the cures. The directly fetched Dictionary of National Biography (1890) entry records the pamphlet as 'attributing his success to miraculous agency.' Catalogue record confirmed directly against the Wellcome Collection catalogue (work id erx3f3g4): title, imprint, and physical description fetched from the Wellcome Collection API. Cited for the vague-mechanism stage: Stubbe's title and the DNB's characterization document that contemporaries publishing on the cures did not settle on one account.
