the Spirit made answere in a hollow uoyce; _From Ireland, From Ireland_. Then they laide the fourth Chapter of Saint Matthew against him, where Christ said, _It is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him onely shalt thou serue_. Which sentence, as it was pronounced, the hollow voyce sounded. _My Master, My Master, I am his Disciple, I am his Disciple._ Then they answered, _Thy Master we graunt he is, but thou lyest, thou art none of his Disciple. Thou art onely an instrument and scourge to punish the wicked, so farre as pleaseth him._ And then they layd unto him the eight Chapter of S. Luke, whereas Christ himselfe did cast out Deuils. And the Spirit answered hollowly, _Baw-wawe, baw-wawe_. And within a little space after, the body of the saide _Alexander_ being as monstrously transformed as it was before, much like the picture of the Deuill in a play, with an horrible roaring voyce, sounding _Hellhound_, was most horribly tormented. And they that were present, fell to prayer, desiring God earnestly to take away the foule Spirit from him. The said _Edward_ then desired to haue the window opened, for _I trust in God_, (said hee) _the fowle Spirit is wearie of our company_. The windowes being opened accordingly, within two Minuts after, the tormented body returned to the true shape againe, the said _Alexander_ leaping up, and holding up his hands, and saying _Hee is gone, hee is gone, Lord, I thanke thee_. Whereat all the people that were there present, fell downe on their knees with due reuerence, and yeelded unto God exceeding praise and thanksgiving. This fit ended about eleven of the clocke the same night, and so they went to Supper with great ioy and gladnesse.’ He seems to have had two or three fits afterwards, but they were of a very mild type, and the last we hear of the afflicted Alexander is: ‘After this, they took the said _Alexander_, and all of them ioyfully accompany him to his brother _Thomas Nyndge_, his house, where, after his comming thither, hee was not knowne to be perplexed with the like terrible vexations.’ One more example of this branch of the devil’s work in Britain must suffice. We find it in ‘WONDERFUL NEWS FROM BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, OR A PERFECT RELATION HOW A YOUNG MAID HATH BEEN FOR TWELVE YEARS AND UPWARDS POSSEST WITH THE DEVIL, AND CONTINUES SO TO THIS VERY DAY IN A LAMENTABLE CONDITION.
