# Public Acts and letters print healings and a thorn-in-the-flesh as rival medical stories

Date: 1611

## The fact

KJV Acts miracle-healings and 2 Corinthians’ thorn, as public English, can be taught as sufficient medicine. Low confidence on unique delay of clinics. The row stores miracle-as-proof as a modest rival to shared clinical capacity.

## Context

Pastoral care of the sick can also organise help (improving if split). This is the miracle-heading.

[Paul the Apostle](/people/paul-the-apostle) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

## Significance

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
