DELIVERANCE
OF
ELIZABETH SHAW.
The following account of the extraordinary deliverance of Elizabeth Shaw, wife of Joseph Shaw, a Hebrew, residing at Staincross near Barnsley, in Yorkshire, was related by herself to the Rev. John Pawson, the truth of which may be depended upon, for if ever there was an upright woman she certainly was one, as many now living can testify.
One day in the height of summer she was washing and had hung part of her linen out to dry, but a heavy shower of rain coming on, she ran out hastily to fetch in the clothes. Being in a sweat, and without her gown, she got exceedingly wet, occasioning a severe cold, which was followed by a violent rheumatism throughout all her limbs.
