So we either steall a fish, or buy a fish, or get a fish from them [for nowght] an or ma.[90] And with that we haw all the fruit of the heall fishes in the boat; and the fishes that the fishermen thamselues will haw, will be bot froath &c. ‘The first woyag that ewer I went with the rest of owr _Covens_ wes to Plewghlandis; and thair we shot an man betwixt the plewgh-stiltis, and he presentlie fell to the ground, wpon his neise and his mowth; and then _the Divell_ gaw me an arrow, and cawsed me shoot an voman in that fieldis; quhilk I did, and she fell down dead. In Winter 1660, quhen Mr. Harie Forbes, Minister at Aulderne, was seik, we maid an bagg of the gallis, flesh, and guttis of toadis, pickles of bear,[91] pairingis of the nailis of fingeris and toes, the liewer of ane hair, and bittis of clowtis. We steipit this all together, all night among watter, all haked[92] throw uther. And whan we did put it among the water, _Satan_ wes with ws, and learned ws the wordis following, to say thryse ower. They ar thus. ‘“_He_ is lying in his bed,--he is lyeing seik and sair; Let him lye intill his bed two monethes and [thrie] dayes mair! 2{li}. Let him lye intill his bed--let him lye intill it seik and sore; Let him lye intill his bed, monthis two and thrie dayes mor! 3{li}. He sall lye intill his bed, he sall lye in it seik and sore; He sall lye intill his bed, two monethis and thrie dayes mor!” ‘Quhan we haid learned all these wordis from _the Devill_, as said is, we all fell down [wpon owr] kneis, with owr hear down ower owr showlderis and eyes, and owr handis lifted wp, and owr eyes [stedfastlie fixed wpon] _the Divell_; and said the forsaidis wordis thryse ower to _the Divell_, striktlie, against Maister Harie Forbes [his recowering from the said seiknes]. In the night tym we cam into Mr. Harie Forbes chalmer, quhair he lay, with owr handis all smeared [... out] of the bagg to swing it upon Mr. Harie, quhair he wes seik in his bed; and, in the day tyme [... ane of owr] nwmber, quho wes most familiar and intimat with him, to wring or swing the bagg wpon the said Mr. Harie, as we could not prevaill in the night tym against him; quhilk wes accordinglie done.’ ‘_Johne Taylor_ and his wyff, _Bessie_, and _Margret Wilsones_, and I, maid a pictur for the _Laird of Parkis_ maill children. _Johnne Taylor_ brought hom the clay in his plaid newk;[93] his wyff sifted it; we poured in water in a cowg[94] amongst it, and wrought it sor,[95] and maid a pictor of it, lyk a child, als big as a pow. It vanted no mark of the imag of a bairn, eyes, nose, mouth, little lippies, and the hands of it folded down by its sydis. The vordis, quhan we maid it, ver thes: ‘“We put this water among this meall, For long divining,[96] and ill heall; We put it intill the fyr, To burn them up both stik and stour, That be burnt with our will, As any stikill[97] on a kill!”
