‘His sister _Anne_ likewise began againe to be troubled, and 3 other yong children in the house, of whom M. _Starchie_ had the education and tuition, with there portiones committed unto him by ther parentes. The first was _Margaret Hardman_, of the age of 14 yeares, the 2. _Elizabeth_ her sister of 10 yeares age, and the 3. _Ellinor Holland_ of 12 yeares. The same day, at night, _Hartlay_ himself, was also tormented, and the next day in like manner, where many held him, among whom one _Margaret Byrom_ of _Salford_, by _Manchester_ 33 yeares olde, a poore kinswoman of _Mistris Starchies_, was one; who beinge come thither to make merrie, was requested to sit downe behind _Hartlay_ to hold him, and did so; but, when he was out of his fit, she endeuored to arise, was so benumb and giddi, that shee could not stand, yet, being lifted up shee stroue to goe, but being unable, fell downe, and was sencelesse, and very unruly. ‘Which, _Hartlay_ seeinge, saide, I feare I haue done her harme. Then she nicknamed and taunted all that were present, though she wyste not what she saide, nor knewe or sawe _Hartlay_ onlye, whome she both knewe and saide she sawe, albeit her eyes were shut close, that she could see nothing: at him she rayled, and angerly smote. After her fit, _Hartlay_ came to comforte her, for hee pretended to bere a louinge affection towards her: and it was thought he had kissed her. Nowe they iudged in the house that whomsoeuer he kissed, on them he breathed the diuell. He often kissed _Iohn_ for loue, (as he saide) he kissed the little wenches in iest, he promised _Margaret Hardman_ a thrane[16] of kisses. He wrastled with one _Iohan Smyth_, a maide seruaunte in the house to kisse her, but he fayled of his purpose; whereupon _Elinor_ in a fitt saide, if hee had kissed her, 3 men coulde not haue helde her. When he cam to comfort _Margaret_, she could not abide his companye. He demaunded of her, why? She said for that she thought he had bewitched her. He asked the reason why she thought so? Shee answered, for thou art euer in myne eyes, absent and present. ‘But let us returne to the other 5, who were first possessed, of whome we will say very little, seeing we have much to say of _Margaret Byrom_: and it is sufficient to heare at large of one of them, and were too much to discourse fully of euery of them, considering the number.
