This seems to be the only Way to reconcile all those simple and ridiculous Appearances which not _Satan_, but his Emissaries, (which we old Women call Imps) sometimes make, and the mean and sorry Employment they are put to: Thus Fame tells us of a certain Witch of Quality, who call'd the _Devil_ once to carry her over a Brook where the Water was swell'd with a hasty Rain, and lash'd him soundly with her Whip for letting her Ladyship fall into the Water before she was quite over. Thus also, as Fame tells us, she set the _Devil_ to work, and made him build _Crowland_ Abbey, where there was no Foundation to be found, only for disturbing the Workmen a little who were first set about it. So it seems another laborious _Devil_ was oblig'd to dig the great Ditch cross the Country from the Fenn Country to the Edge of _Suffolk_ and _Essex_; which who ever he has preserv'd the Reputation of, and where it crosses _New-Market_ Heath, 'tis call'd _Devil_'s _Ditch_ to this Day. Another Piece of Punishment no doubt it was, when the _Devil_ was oblig'd to bring the Stones out of _Wales_ into _Wiltshire_, to build _Stone-heng_: How this was ordered in those Days, when it seems they kept _Satan_ to hard Labour, I know not; I believe it must be registred among the antient Pieces of Art which are lost in the World, such as melting of Stone, painting of Glass, _&c._ Certainly they had the _Devil_ under Correction in those Days; that is to say, those lesser Sorts of _Devils_; but I cannot think that the _muckle Thief Devil_, as they call him in the _North_, the Grand Seignior _Devil_ of all, was ever reduced to Discipline. What _Devil_ it was that _Dunstan_ took by the Nose with his red hot Tongs, I have not yet examin'd Antiquity enough to be certain of, any more than I can what Devil it was that St. _Francis_ play'd so many warm Tricks with, and made him run away from him so often: However, this I take upon me to say, in the _Devil_'s Behalf, that it cou'd not be our _Satan_, the Arch _Devil_ of all _Devils_, of whom I have been talking so long.
