presently her belly was fallne, and as litle as in former time, and so continued. ‘Not long after our comming, all 7 being had in a chamber, the one of us applyed his speach according to the present occasion: and then, behold, all of them, even _Iane Ashton_, and M. _Starchie’s_ children were presently greuiously tormented.
