"After the Condemnation of the Woman, I did my self give divers Visits to her, wherein she told me, that she did use to be at Meetings, where her Prince with Four more were present. She told me who the Four were, and plainly said, _That her Prince was the Devil_. [She entertained me with nothing but Irish, which language I had not learning enough to understand without an interpreter.] When I told her that, and how her Prince had deserted her, she reply'd [I think in English, and with passion too], _If it be so, I am sorry for that_. And when she declined answering some things that I ask'd her, she told me, _She could give me a full answer, but her Spirits would not give her leave: nor could she consent_, she said, _without this leave that I should pray for her_.

"In their Fits they cried out of _They_ and _Them_ as the Authors of all their Miseries; but who that _They_ and _Them_ were, they were not able to declare. Yet at last one of the Children was able to discern their Shapes, and utter their names.

And this tho' his Back were turned, and the thing so done, that there could be no Collusion in it. But a Blow at the Spectre always helped him too, for he would have a respite from his Ails a considerable while, and the Spectre would be gone. Yea, 'twas very credibly affirmed, that a dangerous Woman or two in the Town received Wounds by the Blows thus given to their spectres.... Sometimes they would be very mad, and then they would climb over high Fences, yea, they would fly like Geese, and be carry'd with an incredible Swiftness through the Air, having but just their Toes now and then upon the Ground (sometimes not once in Twenty Foot), and their Arms wav'd like the Wings of a Bird....
