Notwithstanding which, she, this Examinant and the said Black Man did torment her again: And saith and confesseth that she, this Examinant had almost drawn her out of her Bed, and that on purpose to put her, the said _Grace_ out of her Life. ‘And further saith, that the black Man (or rather the Devil) did promise this Examinant that no one should discover her. ‘And further confesseth that the said black Man (or rather the Devil) as aforesaid, did suck her Teats, and that she did kneel down to him in the Street, as she was returning to her own house, and after that they had tormented the said _Grace Thomas_ in manner as last above mentioned.
