Some little Dog-kennel Devil may indeed take up his Quarters in or near him, and so run into and out of him as his Drum beats a Call; but to him that was born a _Devil_, Satan, that never acts to no purpose, cou'd not think him worth being possess'd by any thing better than a Devil of a dirty Quality; that is to say, a Spirit too mean to wear the Name of _Devil_, without some Badge or Addition of Infamy and Meanness to distinguish it by. Thus what _Devil_ of Quality would be confin'd to a _P--------n_, who inheriting all the Pride and Insolence of his Ancestors, without one of their good Qualities; the Bully, the _Billingsgate_, and all the hereditary ill Language of his Family, without an Ounce of their Courage; that has been rescued five or six times from the Scandal of a Coward, by the Bravery, and at the Hazard of Friends, and never fail'd to be ungrateful; that if ever he committed a Murther, did it in cold Blood, because no body could prove he ever had any hot; who possess'd with a Poltroon _Devil_, was always wickeder in the Dark, than he durst be by Day-light; and who, after innumerable passive Sufferings, has been turned out of human Society, because he could not be kick'd or cuff'd either into good Manners or good Humour. To say this was a _Devil_, an Apparition, or even a half _Devil_, would be unkind to _Satan_ himself, since tho' he (the _Devil_) has so many Millions of inferior _Devils_ under his Command, not one cou'd be found base enough to match him, nor one _Devil_ found but what would think himself dishonour'd to be employ'd about him. Some merry good-for-nothing _Devils_ we have indeed, which we might, if we had room, speak of at large, and divert you too with the Relation, such as my Lady _Hatt's Devil_ in _Essex_, who upon laying a Joiner's Mallet in the Window of a certain Chamber, would come very orderly and knock with it all Night upon the Window, or against the Wainscot, and disturb the Neighbourhood, and then go away in the Morning, as well satisfied as may be; whereas if the Mallet was not left, he would think himself affronted, and be as unsufferable and terrifying as possible, breaking the Windows, splitting the Wainscot, committing all the Disorders, and doing all the Damage that he was able to the House, and to the Goods in it. And again, such as the Druming _Devil_ in the Well at _Oundle_ in _Northamptonshire_, and such like. A great many antick _Devils_ have been seen also, who seem'd to have little or nothing to do, but only to assure us that they can appear if they please, and that there is a Reality in the thing call'd Apparition.
