Thou art very skeptical--dost thou not believe? now thou art fond of, thou wantest to be haunted, well thou shalt have thy desire." At these * i.e. the Spirit (2) these dreadful words, which were uttered in an angry & reproving manner, every soul was struck with terror; but as if to give some consolation assured him "that that spirit had but just left his _home_, & coming on very slowly would not be up with them 'till _such a time_, a little prior to which they were ordered to conjure again, when they would be told what to do.
