RELATION 1.—_Touching the troubles which Sir_ GEORGE MAXWELL _of
Pollock met with from the Devil and his Haggs_.
SIR, _Pollock, 24th June, 1684._
I send you herewith the true account, my father caused me write from
his own mouth, which is the surest relation I can give, either of
his own trouble, or what concerns Janet Douglas, first discoverer of
these pictures. There fell out some less material circumstances in
the family, during her abode there, whereby it fully appeared, That
she knew what was done in distant places, and understood languages.
For instance, when a chapter in the Greek New Testament was read,
she made us understand by signs what the purposes were, (for at
that time she was dumb, whether really or counterfeitly, it is hard
to determine,) and did exactly give an account to myself, what we
did at two miles distant from the place where she was, without any
information given to her which I knew of. I rest your affectionate
friend,
JOHN MAXWELL.
