[15] George More, _A true Discourse_, 21; Darrel, _A True Narration_ (_Somers Tracts_, III), 175. [16] Harsnett, _Discovery_, tells us that "certain Seminarie priests" got hold of her and carried her up and down the country and thereby "wonne great credit." [17] Darrel's account of this affair is in _A True Narration_ (_Somers Tracts_, III), 179-186. Harsnett takes it up in his _Discovery_, 78-264. [18] See deposition of Cooper, in Harsnett, _Discovery_, 114. [19] Depositions of Somers and Darrel, _ibid._, 124-125. It must be recalled that when this was first tried before a commission they were convinced that it was not imposture. A layman cannot refrain from suspecting that Darrel had hypnotic control over Somers. [20] _Ibid._, 141-142. [21] _Ibid._, 141. Harsnett quotes Darrel for this statement. [22] _Ibid._, 5; John Darrel, _An Apologie, or defence of the possession of William Sommers ..._ (1599?), L verso. [23] Darrel, _A True Narration_ (_Somers Tracts_, III), 184; see also his _A brief Apologie proving the possession of William Sommers ..._ (1599), 17. [24] Harsnett, _Discovery_, 7.

[30] _Ibid._, 320-322; Darrel, _An Apologie, or defence_, L III, says that the third jury acquitted her. Harsnett refers to the fact that he was found guilty by the grand inquest.

There is a pathetic acknowledgment of this in the "Preface to the Reader" of his publication, _A Survey of Certaine Dialogical Discourses, written by John Deacon and John Walker ..._ (1602): "But like a tried and weather-beaten bird [I] wish for quiet corner to rest myself in and to drye my feathers in the warme sun."
