But
the
Story
,
with
your
ingenious
being
so
often
printed
already
,
he
said
,
it
behoved
him
to
take
care
how
he
ventured
on
a
new
Impression
,
unless
he
had
some
new
matter
of
that
kind
to
adde
,
which
might
make
this
new
Edition
the
more
certainly
salable
;
and
therefore
he
expected
the
issue
of
that
noised
story
of
the
Spectre
at
seen
so
oft
for
the
discovering
of
a
Murther
committed
some
thirty
years
ago
.
But
the
event
of
this
business
,
as
to
juridical
process
,
not
answering
expectation
,
he
was
discouraged
from
making
use
of
it
,
many
things
being
reported
to
him
from
thence
in
favour
to
the
party
most
concerned

I
told
him
a
story
of
one
Mrs.

appearing
to
her
Maid
after

death
,
very
well
attested
,

not
of

The
Book
indeed
it self
,
I
confess
,
is
but
a
weak
and
impertinent
piece
;
but
that
story
weighty
and
convincing
,
and
such
as
himself
(
though
otherwise
an
affected
Caviller
against
almost
all
stories
of
is
constrained
to
assent
to
,
as
you
shall
see
from
his
own
confession
.
I
shall
for
your
better
ease
,
or
because
you
haply
may
not
have
the
Book
,
transcribe
it
out
of
the
Writer
himself
,
though
it
be
something
long
,
About
the
year
of
our
Lord
(
as
near
as
I
can
remember
,
having
lost
my
Notes
and
the
Copy
of
the
Letter
to
Serjeant
but
am
sure
that
I
do
most
perfectly
remember
the
substance
of
the
story
)
near
unto
there
lived
one
a
Teoman-man
of
good
estate
,
and
a
Widower
,
who
had
a
young
Woman
to
his
Kinswoman
that
kept
his
House
,
who
was
by
the
Neighbours
suspected
to
be
with
Child
,
and
was
towards
the
dark
of
the
Evening
one
night
sent
away
with
one
who
was
a
Collier
,
or
one
that
digged
Coals
under
ground
,
and
one
that
had
been
born
in
Hundred
in
and
so
she
was
not
heard
of
a
long
time
,
and
no
noise
or
little
was
made
about
it
.
In
the
Winter-time
after
,
one
(
for
so
in
that
Countrey
they
call
them
)
being
a
Miller
,
and
living
about
Two
miles
from
the
place
where
lived
,
was
one
night
alone
very
late
in
the
Mill
grinding
Corn
;
and
as
,
about
twelve
or
one
a
Clock
at
night
,
he
came
down
the
Stairs
from
having
been
putting
Corn
in
the
H●…pper
,
the
Mill-doors
being
shut
,
there
stood
a
Woman
upon
the
midst
of
the
Floor
with
her
Hair
about
her
Head
hanging
down
and
all
bloody
,
with
five
large
Wounds
on
her
Head
.
He
being
much
affrighted
and
amazed
,
began
to
bless
him
,
and
at
last
asked
her
who
she
was
,
and
what
she
wanted
?
To
which
she
said
,
said
the
Apparition
Mark
Sharp
(
naming
a
place
that
the
Miller
knew
)
(
such
as
men
dig
Coals
withal
)
And
the
Apparition
further
told
the
Miller
,
that
he
must
be
the
man
to
reveal
it
,
or
else
that
she
must
still
appear
and
haunt
him
.
The
Miller
returned
home
very
sad
and
heavy
,
but
spoke
not
one
word
of
what
he
had
seen
,
but
eschewed
as
much
as
he
could
to
slay
in
the
Mill
within
night
without
company
,
thinking
thereby
to
escape
the
seeing
again
of
that
frightful
Apparition
.
But
notwithstanding
,
one
night
when
it
began
to
be
dark
,
the
Apparition
met
him
again
,
and
seemed
very
fierce
and
cruel
,
and
threatned
him
.
That
if
he
did
not
reveal
the
Murder
,
she
would
continually
pursue
and
haunt
him
.
Tet
for
all
this
,
he
still
concealed
it
until
St.
Eve
before
when
being
soon
after
Sun
set
walking
in
his
Garden
,
she
appeared
again
,
and
then
so
threatned
him
and
affrighted
him
,
that
he
faithfully
promised
to
reveal
it
next
morning
.
In
the
morning
he
went
to
a
Magistrate
,
and
made
the
whole
matter
known
,
with
all
the
circumstances
;
and
diligent
search
being
made
,
the
Body
was
found
in
a
Coal-pit
with
five
Wounds
in
the
Head
,
and
the
Pick
,
and
Shoes
,
and
Stockings
yet
bloody
,
in
every
circumstance
as
the
Apparition
had
related
unto
the
Miller
.
Whereupon
were
both
apprehended
,
but
would
confess
nothing
.
At
the
Assizes
following
(
I
think
it
was
at
they
were
arraigned
,
found
guilty
,
condemned
,
and
executed
,
but
I
could
never
hear
that
they
confessed
the
Fact
.
There
were
some
that
reported
that
the
Apparition
did
appear
to
the
Judge
,
or
the
Foreman
of
the
Jury
,
(
who
was
alive
in
about
Ten
years
ago
,
as
I
have
been
credibly
informed
)
but
of
that
I
know
no
certainty
.
There
are
many
persons
yet
alive
that
can
remember
this
strange
Murder
,
and
the
Discovery
of
it
;
for
it
was
,
and
sometimes
yet
is
,
as
much
discoursed
of
in
the
North-Countrey
,
as
any
thing
that
almost
hath
ever
been
heard
of
,
and
the
Relation
Printed
,
though
now
not
to
be
gotten
.
I
relate
this
with
the
greater
confidence
.
(
though
I
may
fail
in
some
of
the
Circumstances
)
because
I
saw
and
read
the
Letter
that
was
sent
to
Serjeant
who
then
lived
at
from
the
Judge
before
whom
were
tried
,
and
by
whom
they
were
condemned
;
and
had
a
Copy
of
it
until
about
the
year
when
I
had
it
and
〈◊〉
other
Books
and
Papers
taken
from
me
.
And
this
I
confess
to
be
one
of
the
most
convincing
Stories
(
being
of
undoubted
verity
)
that
ever
I
read
,
heard
,
or
knew
of
,
and
carrieth
with
it
the
most
evident
force
to
make
the
most
incredulous
spirit
to
be
satisfied
that
there
are
really
sometimes
such
things
as
Apparitions
.
Thus
far
He.
This
Story
is
so
considerable
,
that
I
make
mention
of
it
in
my
on
my
in
my
which
I
acquainting
a
Friend
of
mine
with
,
a
prudent
intelligent
person
,
Dr.
he
of
his
own
accord
offered
me
,
it
being
a
thing
of
such
consequence
,
to
send
to
a
friend
of
his
in
the
North
for
greater
assurance
of
the
truth
of
the
Narration
;
which
motion
I
willingly
embracing
,
he
did
accordingly
.
The
Answer
to
his
Letter
from
his
friend
Mr.
is
this
Thus
far
Mr.
the
Doctor
's
discreet
and
faithful
Intelligencer
.
Now
for
Mr.
Testimony
,
it
is
this
being
an
ancient
Gentleman
,
and
at
the
Tryal
of
upon
the
Murder
of
saith
,
that
he
doth
very
well
remember
that
the
said
was
Servant
to
and
that
she
was
supposed
to
be
with
Child
,
but
would
not
disclose
by
whom
.
But
being
removed
to
her
Aunts
in
the
same
Town
,
called
Dame
told
her
Aunt
that
he
that
had
got
her
with
Child
,
would
take
care
both
for
her
and
it
,
and
bid
her
not
trouble
her self
.
After
some
time
she
had
been
at
her
Aunts
,
it
was
observed
that
came
to
one
night
,
being
a
sworn
Brother
of
the
said
s
;
and
they
two
that
night
called
her
forth
from
her
Aunts
House
,
which
night
she
was
murdered
.
About
fourteen
days
after
the
murder
,
there
appeared
to
one
a
Fuller
,
at
his
Mill
,
six
miles
from
the
likeness
of
a
Woman
,
with
her
Hair
about
her
head
,
and
the
appearance
of
five
Wounds
in
her
Head
,
as
the
said
gave
it
in
Evidence
.
That
that
appearance
bid
him
go
to
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
and
relate
to
him
how
that
had
murthered
her
,
in
such
a
place
as
she
was
murthered
:
But
he
fearing
to
disclose
a
thing
of
that
nature
against
a
person
of
credit
as
was
,
would
not
have
done
it
;
but
she
continually
appearing
night
by
night
to
him
,
and
pulling
the
Clothes
off
his
Bed
,
told
him
,
he
should
never
rest
till
he
had
disclosed
it
.
Upon
which
he
the
said
did
go
to
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
and
related
the
whole
matter
.
Whereupon
the
Justice
of
Peace
granted
Warrants
against
and
committed
them
to
prison
.
But
they
found
Bail
to
appear
at
the
next
Assizes
.
At
which
time
they
came
to
their
Tryal
,
and
upon
evidence
of
the
Circumstances
with
that
of
of
the
Appearance
,
they
were
both
found
guilty
,
and
executed
.
The
other
Testimony
is
of
Mr.
of
the
City
of
who
saith
,
That
the
Trial
of
was
in
the
moneth
of
before
Judge
One
Mr.
gave
it
in
Evidence
upon
Oath
,
that
he
see
the
likeness
of
a
Child
stand
upon
s
Shoulders
during
the
time
of
the
Trial
:
At
which
time
the
Judge
was
very
much
troubled
,
and
gave
Sentence
that
night
the
Trial
was
;
which
was
a
thing
never
used
in
before
nor
after
Out
of
which
Two
Testimonies
several
things
may
be
corrected
or
supplied
in
Mr.
Story
,
though
it
be
evident
enough
that
in
the
main
they
agree
:
For
that
is
but
a
small
disagreement
as
to
the
Year
,
when
Mr.
says
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
and
Mr.
But
unless
at
they
have
Assizes
but
once
in
the
year
,
I
understand
not
so
well
how
should
be
apprehended
some
little
while
after
St.
day
,
as
Mr.
has
it
,
and
be
tried
the
next
Assizes
at
and
yet
that
be
in
according
to
Mr.
Testimony
.
Out
of
Mr.
s
Testimony
the
Christen
Name
of
the
young
Woman
is
supplied
,
as
also
the
Name
of
the
Town
near
The
Circumstances
also
of
s
sending
away
his
Kinswoman
with
are
supplied
out
of
Mr.
s
Narrative
;
and
the
time
rectified
,
by
telling
it
was
about
fourteen
days
till
the
Spectre
appeared
after
the
Murther
,
whenas
Mr.
makes
it
a
long
time
Two
Errours
also
more
are
corrected
in
Mr.
s
Narration
,
by
Mr.
s
Testimony
:
The
distance
of
the
Miller
from
dwelt
,
which
was
Six
miles
,
not
Two
miles
,
as
Mr.
has
it
.
And
also
,
that
it
was
not
a
Mill
to
grinde
Corn
in
,
but
a
Fullers
Mill.
The
Apparition
night
by
night
pulling
the
Clothes
off
s
Bed
,
omitted
in
Mr.
s
story
,
may
be
supplied
out
of
Mr.
s.
And
Mr.
s
Testimony
puts
it
out
of
controversie
that
the
Trial
was
at
and
before
Judge
which
is
omitted
by
Mr.
And
whereas
Mr.
says
,
there
were
some
●…hat
reported
that
the
Apparition
did
appear
to
the
Judge
,
or
the
Fore
man
of
the
Jury
,
but
of
that
he
knows
no
certainty
:
This
confession
of
his
,
as
it
is
a
sign
he
would
not
write
any
thing
in
this
story
of
which
he
was
not
certain
for
the
main
,
so
here
is
a
very
seasonable
supply
for
this
out
of
Mr.
who
affirms
that
he
heard
one
Mr.
give
Evidence
upon
Oath
,
that
he
saw
the
likeness
of
a
Child
stand
upon
s
Shoulders
during
the
time
of
the
Trial.
It
is
likely
this
Mr.
might
be
the
Fore
man
of
the
Jury
;
and
in
that
the
Judge
was
so
very
much
troubled
,
that
himself
also
might
see
the
same
Apparition
as
Mr.
says
report
went
,
though
the
mistake
in
Mr.
is
,
that
it
was
the
Apparition
of
the
Woman
.
But
this
of
the
Child
was
very
fit
and
apposite
,
placed
on
his
Shoulders
,
as
one
that
was
justly
loaded
or
charged
with
that
Crime
of
getting
his
Kinswoman
with
Child
,
as
well
as
of
complotting
with
to
murder
her
The
Letter
also
which
he
mentions
writ
from
the
Judge
before
whom
the
Trial
was
heard
,
to
Serjeant
it
is
plain
out
of
Mr.
s
Testimony
,
that
it
was
from
Judge
which
in
all
likelihood
was
a
very
full
and
punctual
Narrative
of
the
whole
business
,
and
enabled
Mr.
in
some
considerable
things
,
to
be
more
particular
than
Mr.
But
the
agreement
is
so
exact
for
the
main
,
that
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
the
truth
of
the
Apparition
.
But
that
this
,
forsooth
,
must
not
be
the
but
her
this
is
but
a
fantastick
conceit
of
and
his
which
I
have
sufficiently
shewn
the
folly
of
in
the
on
my
Volum
.
Philos.
Tom.
This
Story
of
I
think
you
will
do
well
to
put
amongst
your
Additions
in
the
new
Impression
of
your
it
being
so
excellently
well
attested
,
and
so
unexceptionably
in
every
respect
;
and
to
hasten
as
fast
as
you
can
that
Impression
,
to
undeceive
the
half-witted
World
,
who
so
much
exult
and
triumph
in
the
extinguishing
the
belief
of
that
Narration
,
as
if
the
crying
down
the
truth
of
that
story
of
the
were
indeed
the
very
slaying
of
the
Devil
,
and
that
they
may
now
with
more
gaiety
and
security
than
ever
sing
in
a
loud
note
that
mad
drunken
Catch
,
which
wild
Song
,
though
it
may
seem
a
piece
of
levity
to
mention
,
yet
believe
me
,
the
application
thereof
bears
a
sober
and
weighty
intimation
along
with
it
,
that
these
sort
of
People
are
very
horribly
afraid
there
should
be
any
Spirit
,
lest
there
should
be
a
Devil
,
and
an
account
after
this
life
;
and
therefore
they
are
impatient
of
any
thing
that
implies
it
,
that
they
may
with
a
more
full
swing
,
and
with
all
security
from
an
after-reckoning
,
indulge
their
own
Lusts
and
Humours
in
this
.
And
I
know
by
long
experience
,
that
nothing
rouzes
them
so
out
of
that
dull
Lethargy
of
Atheism
and
Sadducism
,
as
Narrations
of
this
kind
.
For
they
being
of
a
thick
and
gross
spirit
,
the
most
subtile
and
solid
deductions
of
reason
does
little
execution
upon
them
;
but
this
sort
of
sensible
Experiments
cuts
them
and
stings
them
very
sore
,
and
so
startles
them
,
that
by
a
less
considerable
story
by
far
than
this
of
the
or
of
a
Doctor
of
Physick
cry'd
out
presently
,
And
I
remember
an
old
Gentleman
in
the
Country
of
my
acquaintance
,
an
excellent
Justice
of
Peace
,
and
a
piece
of
a
Mathematician
;
but
what
kind
of
Philosopher
he
was
,
you
may
understand
from
a
Rhyme
of
his
own
making
,
which
he
commended
to
me
at
my
taking
horse
in
his
yard
;
which
Rhyme
is
this
,
Which
Rhyme
of
his
was
so
rapturous
to
himself
,
that
at
the
reciting
of
the
second
Verse
,
the
old
Gentleman
turned
himself
about
upon
his
Toe
a
,
nimbly
as
one
may
observe
a
dry
Leaf
whisked
round
in
the
corner
of
an
Orchard-walk
by
some
little
Whirlwind
.
With
this
Philosopher
I
have
had
many
Discourses
concerning
the
Immortality
of
the
Soul
,
and
its
distinction
from
the
Body
,
and
of
the
existence
of
Spirits
.
When
I
have
ran
him
quite
down
by
Reason
,
he
would
but
laugh
at
me
,
and
say
,
This
is
Logick
,
calling
me
by
my
Christen-Name
.
To
which
I
replied
,
This
is
(
for
so
I
used
,
and
some
others
,
to
call
him
)
but
it
seems
you
are
for
the
New
Lights
,
and
immediate
Inspiration
.
Which
,
I
confess
,
he
was
as
little
for
as
for
the
other
;
but
I
said
so
onely
in
way
of
drollery
to
him
in
those
times
.
But
truth
is
,
nothing
but
palpable
experience
would
move
him
:
And
being
a
bold
man
,
and
fearing
nothing
,
he
told
me
he
had
used
all
the
Magical
Ceremonies
of
Conjuration
he
could
to
raise
the
Devil
or
a
Spirit
,
and
had
a
most
earnest
desire
to
meet
with
one
,
but
never
could
do
it
.
But
this
he
told
me
,
when
he
did
not
so
much
as
think
of
it
,
while
his
Servant
wa●…
pulling
off
his
Boots
in
the
Hall
,
some
invisible
Hand
gave
him
such
a
clap
upon
the
Back
,
that
it
made
all
ring
again
.
So
,
thought
he
,
now
I
am
invited
to
the
converse
of
some
Spirit
;
and
there
fore
so
soon
as
his
Boots
were
off
and
his
Shoes
onout
goes
he
into
the
Tard
and
next
Field
,
to
finde
out
the
Spirit
that
had
given
him
this
familiar
clap
on
the
back
,
but
found
none
,
neither
in
the
Yard
nor
Field
next
to
it
.
But
though
he
did
not
,
this
stroak
,
albeit
he
thought
it
afterwards
(
finding
nothing
come
of
it
)
a
mere
delusion
;
yet
not
long
before
his
death
it
had
more
force
with
him
than
all
the
Philosophical
Arguments
I
could
use
to
him
,
though
I
could
winde
him
and
nonplus
him
as
I
pleased
;
but
yet
all
my
Arguments
,
how
solid
soever
,
made
no
impression
upon
him
.
Wherefore
after
several
reasonings
of
this
nature
,
whereby
I
would
prove
to
him
the
Souls
distinction
from
the
Body
and
its
immortality
,
when
nothing
of
such
subtile
consideration
did
any
more
execution
on
his
mind
,
than
some
Lightning
is
said
to
do
,
though
it
melt
the
Sword
,
on
the
fuzzy
consistency
of
the
Scabbard
:
Well
,
said
I
,
Father
though
none
of
these
things
move
you
,
I
have
something
still
behind
,
and
what
your self
has
acknowledged
to
me
to
be
true
,
that
may
do
the
business
.
Do
you
remember
the
clap
on
your
back
when
your
Servant
was
pulling
off
your
Boots
in
the
Hall
?
Assure
your self
,
said
I
,
Father
that
Goblin
will
be
the
first
that
will
bid
you
welcome
into
the
other
World
.
Upon
that
his
Countenance
changed
most
sensibly
,
and
he
was
more
confounded
with
this
rubbing
up
his
memory
,
than
with
all
the
Rational
or
Philosophical
Argumentations
that
I
could
produce
.
Indeed
,
if
there
were
any
modesty
left
in
mankind
,
the
Histories
of
the
Bible
might
abundantly
assure
men
of
the
existence
of
Angels
and
Spirits
.
But
these
Wits
,
as
they
are
taken
to
be
,
are
so
jealous
,
forsooth
,
and
so
sagacious
,
that
whatsoever
is
offered
to
them
by
way
of
established
Religion
,
is
suspected
for
a
piece
of
politick
Circumvention
;
which
is
as
silly
notwithstanding
,
and
as
childish
,
as
that
conceit
of
a
Friend
of
yours
when
he
was
a
School
boy
in
the
lowest
Form
of
a
Country
Gramar
school
,
who
could
not
believe
scarce
that
there
were
any
such
men
as
much
less
that
they
wrote
any
such
Books
,
but
that
it
was
a
trick
of
our
Parents
to
keep
us
up
so
many
hours
of
the
day
together
,
and
hinder
us
from
the
enjoying
our
innocent
pastime
in
the
open
Air
,
and
the
pleasure
of
planting
little
Gardens
of
Flowers
,
and
of
hunting
of
Butter-flies
and
Bumble-bees
.
Besides
,
though
what
is
once
true
never
becomes
false
,
so
that
it
may
be
truely
said
it
was
not
once
true
;
yet
these
shrewd
Wits
suspect
the
truth
of
things
for
their
antiquity
,
and
for
that
very
reason
think
them
the
less
credible
:
Which
is
as
wisely
done
as
of
the
Old
Woman
the
Story
goes
of
,
Who
being
at
Church
in
the
week
before
and
hearing
the
tragical
Description
of
all
the
circumstances
of
our
Saviour's
Crucifixion
,
was
in
great
sorrow
at
the
reciting
thereof
;
and
so
sollicitous
about
the
business
,
that
she
came
to
the
Priest
after
Service
with
tears
in
her
Eyes
,
dropping
him
a
Courtsie
,
and
asked
him
how
long
ago
this
sad
accident
hapned
;
to
whom
he
answering
about
Fifteen
or
Sixteen
hundred
years
ago
,
she
presently
began
to
be
comforted
,
and
said
,
Then
in
grace
of
God
it
may
not
be
true
.
At
this
pitch
of
wit
in
is
the
Reason
of
our
professed
Wit-would-be's
of
this
present
Age
,
who
will
catch
at
any
slight
occasion
o●…
pretence
of
misbelieving
those
things
that
they
cannot
endure
should
be
true
.
And
for
asmuch
assuch
course-grain'd
Philosophers
as
those
and
the
rest
of
that
Rabble
,
slight
Religion
and
the
Scriptures
,
because
there
is
such
express
mention
of
Spirits
and
Angels
in
them
,
things
that
their
dull
Souls
are
so
inclinable
to
conceit
to
be
impossible
;
I
look
upon
it
as
a
special
piece
of
Providence
that
there
are
ever
and
anon
such
fresh
examples
of
Apparitions
and
Witchcrafts
as
may
rub
up
and
awaken
their
benummed
and
lethargick
Mindes
into
a
suspicion
at
least
,
if
not
assurance
that
there
are
other
intelligent
Beings
besides
those
that
are
clad
in
heavy
Earth
or
Clay
.
In
this
,
I
say
,
methinks
the
Divine
Providence
does
plainly
outwit
the
Powers
of
the
dark
Kingdom
,
in
permiting
wicked
men
and
women
and
vagrant
Spirits
of
that
Kingdom
to
make
Leagues
or
Covenants
one
with
another
,
the
Confession
of
Witches
against
their
own
Lives
being
so
palpable
an
evidence
,
(
besides
the
miraculous
feats
they
play
)
that
there
are
bad
Spirits
,
which
will
necessarily
open
a
Door
to
the
belief
that
there
are
good
ones
,
and
lastly
that
there
is
a
God
.
Wherefore
let
the
small
Philosophick
Sir
Fopling
of
this
present
Age
deride
them
as
much
as
they
will
,
those
that
lay
out
their
pains
in
committing
to
writing
certain
well-attested
Stories
of
do
real
service
to
true
Religion
and
sound
Philosophy
,
and
the
most
effectual
and
accommodate
to
the
confounding
of
Infidelity
and
Atheism
,
even
in
the
Judgement
of
the
Atheists
themselves
,
who
are
as
much
afraid
of
the
truth
of
these
stories
as
an
Ape
is
of
a
Whip
;
and
therefore
force
themselves
with
might
and
main
to
disbelieve
them
by
reason
of
the
dreadful
consequence
of
them
as
to
themselves
.
And
he
that
fears
God
and
has
Faith
in
Jesus
Christ
,
need
not
fear
how
many
Devils
there
be
,
nor
be
afraid
of
himself
or
his
own
Immortality
.
And
therefore
it
is
nothing
but
a
foul
dark
Conscience
within
,
or
a
very
gross
and
dull
constitution
of
Blood
,
that
makes
men
so
averse
from
these
Truths
.
But
however
,
be
they
as
averse
as
they
will
,
being
this
is
the
most
accommodate
Medicine
for
this
Disease
,
their
diligence
and
care
of
Mankind
is
much
to
be
commended
that
make
it
their
business
to
apply
it
,
and
are
resolved
,
though
the
peevishness
and
perversness
of
the
Patients
makes
them
pull
off
their
Plaister
,
(
as
they
have
this
excellent
one
of
the
Story
of
the
by
decrying
it
as
an
Imposture
,
so
acknowledged
by
both
your self
and
Mr.
are
resolved
,
I
say
,
with
meekness
and
charity
to
binde
it
on
again
,
with
the
addition
of
new
Filletting
,
I
mean
other
Stories
sufficiently
fresh
and
very
well
attested
and
certain
.
This
worthy
design
therefore
of
yours

I
must
confess
,
I
cannot
but
highly
commend
and
approve
,
and
therefore
wish
you

left

break
off
abruptly
.
But
what
is
said

sufficiently
subverts
the
force
of
Mr.
s
Arguments
against
their
Opinion
,
that
say
it
was
the
that
appeared
to
I
will
only
here
take
notice
,
that
this
part
which
reaches
hitherto
,
though
it
be
not
fully
finished
,
yet
it
abundantly
affords
Proof
for
the
Conclusion
,
namely
,
for
the
from
Testimony
of
Holy
Scripture
,
to
as
many
as
yield
to
the
Authority
thereof
.
But
the
following
is
a
Confirmation
of
the
same
things
,
as
well
to
the
as
to
them
that
believe
Scripture
.
And
the
leading

of
the
I
hope
now
will
prove
irrefragable

unexceptionable
,
if
the
Reader
retain
in

,
Mr.

to

second

of

Mr.
s
Letters
,
the
one
to
Mr.
the
other
to
Mr.
which
cannot
but
abundantly
undeceive
the
World
.
So
that
it
is
needless
to
record
how
Mr.
wrote
to
Mr.
and
professed
To
the
same
purpose
he
wrote
to
Mr.
as
also
to
my self
,
and
undoubtedly
to
many
more
,
as
he
has
intimated
in
his
Preface
.

that

to
the
Parties
above
named
,
he
sent
a

As
for
Mr.

,
though

it

the

and
the
most
material
of
those
Objections

being
so
well
satisfied
in

perfect

it self

I
thought
it
more
advisable
to
omit

that
there
might

left

here
is
Mr.
Transition

fresh
Evidences
,
out
of
Mr.
examinations
,
which
is
this
.
Thus
far
,
the
Evidence
of
Fact
went
in
the
former
Editions
,
but
having
resolved
upon
this
I
writ
again
to
my
Honoured
Friend
Mr.
knowing
that
he
had
more
materials
for
my
purpose
,
and
such
as
would
afford
proof
sufficient
to
any
modest
doubter
.
In
Answer
he
was
pleased
to
send
me
his
which
he
kept
by
him
fairly
written
.
It
contains
the
discovery
of
such
an
hellish
Knot
of
them
,
and
that
discovery
so
clear
and
plain
,
that
perhaps
there
hath
not
yet
any
thing
appeared
to
us
with
stronger
Evidence
to
confirm
the
belief
of
Witches
.
And
had
not
his
discoveries
and
endeavours
met
with
great
opposition
and
discouragements
from
some
then
in
Authority
,
the
whole
Clan
of
those
hellish
Confederates
in
these
parts
had
been
justly
exposed
and
punished
.
Out
of
that
Book
I
have
Collected
some
main
instances
,
the
clearness
of
which
I
think
will
be
enough
to
overcome
and
silence
any
indifferent
prejudice
.
But
some
are
so
settled
and
obdurate
,
that
no
proof
in
the
World
is
sufficient
to
remove
them

Besides
the
plain
agreement
betwixt
the
Witnesses
,
and
the
Witches
own
Confession
,
it
may
be
worth
the
taking
notice
here
,
how
well
her
confession
of
having
her
Familiar
such
her
in
the
shape
of
a
Cat
,
agrees
with
's
Confession
,
that
she
had
seen
Familiar
suck
her
in
that
shape
.
As
also
how
the
bewitching
of
's
Child
by
her
saying
agrees
with
the
promise
of
the
Devil
to
her
,
which
is
expresly
,
She
also
testifying
of
the
Baptizing
the
Image
of
and
of
those
forms
of
words
,
at
their
going
to
their
meetings
and
departing
,
plainly
shews
that
these
things
are
not
transacted
in
dreams
but
in
reality
.
The
Devil
also
as
in
other
stories
leaving
an
ill
smell
behind
him
,
seems
to
imply
the
reality
of
the
business
,
those
ascititious
particles
he
held
together
in
his
visible
vehicle
,
being
loosened
at
his
vanishing
,
and
so
offending
the
nostrils
by
their
floating
and
diffusing
themselves
in
the
open
Air.

This
Relation
is
taken
out
of
a
Copy
of
an
Authentick
Record
,
as
I
conceive
,
every
half
sheet
having
writ
in
the
Margin
,
and
then
again
at
the
end
of
all
,
who
in
all
likelihood
must
be
some
publick
Notary
or
Record-Keeper
.
But
this
Witch
of
is
so
famous
,
that
I
have
heard
Mr.
speak
of
her
at
my
Lord
and
remember
very
well
he
told
the
story
of
the
Awl
to
me
there
.
There
is
in
this
Relation
an
eximious
example
of
the
of
Witches
(
whence
they
are
called
in
that
all
the
mischief
this
Witch
did
,
was
by
kissing
,
or
some
way
touching
the
party
she
bewitched
,
and
she
confest
unless
she
touched
her
,
she
could
do
her
no
hurt
.
Which
may
be
called
a
Magical
venome
or
contagion
.
But
how
are
distinguished
with
those
of
this
Hellish
Fraternity
,
I
know
not
.
But
that
by
her
her
is
manifest
.
Whether
this
relates
to
and
that
the
Magical
venome
came
out
at
her
Eyes
when
she
kissed
the
Maid
,
and
whether
this
was
the
first
kind
of
Witchery
distinct
from
that
of
bewitching
people
by
made
of
Wax
,
and
afterward
any
bewitching
by
meer
looking
or
touching
,
was
called
we
will
leave
to
the
Criticks
of
that
black
School
to
decide
.
As
also
what
is
that
,
which
in
the
Witches
shape
,
so
haunts
and
torments
the
bewitched
party
.
For
that
it
is
not
the
meer
fancy
of
the
bewitched
seems
reasonable
to
judge
,
because
their
meer
fancy
could
not
create
such
kinds
of
extream
torments
to
them
.
And
therefore
it
is
either
the
Witches
Familiar
in
her
shape
,
or
the
of
the
Witch
,
because
the
Witch
is
sometimes
wounded
by
striking
at
her
Appearance
,
as
it
happened
in
the
appearance
of
and
also
in
that
of
as
you
shall
find
in
the
Relation
following
.

This
is
a
Copy
of
the
Narrative
sent
by
Mr.
to
Mr.
Colledge
,
Nephew
to
the
Judge
upon
the
desire
of
Dr.
But
I
remember
here
at
I
heard
the
main
passages
of
this
Narrative
when
they
first
were
spread
abroad
after
the
Assizes
,
and
particularly
by
after
Bishop
of
Nor
do
I
doubt
but
it
is
a
true
account
of
what
was
attested
before
Judge
at
the
Assizes
.
For
it
is
a
thing
to
me
altogether
incredible
,
that
he
that
was
an
Officer
or
Servant
of
the
Judge
and
present
in
the
Court
at
the
Examination
and
Trial
,
and
there
took
Notes
,
should
write
a
Narrative
,
when
there
were
so
many
Ear-witnesses
besides
himself
of
the
same
things
,
that
would
be
obnoxious
to
the
disproof
of
those
who
were
present
as
well
as
himself
.
It
may
not
be
amiss
here
to
transcribe
what
Dr.
did
write
to
Mr.
touching
this
story
in
a
Letter
dated
This
Narrative
hath
the
most
Authentick
confirmation
that
human
affairs
are
capable
of
,
and
the
sacredness
of
an
But
yet
I
confess
I
have
heard
that
judge
has
been
taxed
by
some
of
overmuch
credulity
,
for
sentencing
to
death
upon
those
Evidences
.
But
to
deal
freely
I
suspect
by
such
as
out
of
their
ignorance
misinterpreted
several
passages
in
the
Evidence
,
or
were
of
such
a
dull
stupid
temper
,
that
they
believe
there
are
no
Spirits
nor
Witches
.
And
truly
I
must
confess
that
the
Huntsman
,
though
he
deposed
upon
Oath
,
that
when
he
came
in
to
take
up
the
Hare
at
the
Bush
,
it
proved
to
be
with
her
face
towards
the
ground
,
his
expressing
of
himself
touching
her
Globes
and
the
Doggs
smelling
,
looks
something
humoursomly
and
ludicrousty
on
it
.
But
I
must
further
add
,
that
I
think
it
was
onely
that
his
fancie
was
tickled
with
the
featness
of
the
Phaenomenon
,
not
that
he
would
be
so
wicked
as
to
tell
a
lye
upon
Oath
and
that
for
nothing
.
says
Tully
But
that
those
half-witted
People
thought
he
swore
false
,
I
suppose
was
because
they
imagined
that
what
he
told
implied
that
was
turned
into
an
Hare
.
Which
she
was
not
,
nor
did
his
report
imply
any
such
real
Metamorphosis
of
her
body
,
but
that
these
ludicrous
Daemons
exhibited
to
the
sight
of
this
Huntsman
and
his
Doggs
the
shape
of
an
Hare
,
one
of
them
turning
himself
into
such
a
form
,
and
others
hurrying
on
the
body
of
near
the
same
place
,
and
at
the
same
swiftness
,
but
interposing
betwixt
that
Hare-like
Spectre
and
her
body
,
modifying
the
Air
so
that
the
scene
there
,
to
the
beholders
sight
,
was
as
if
nothing
but
Air
were
there
,
and
a
shew
of
Earth
perpetually
suited
to
that
where
the
Hare
passed
.
As
I
have
heard
of
some
Painters
that
have
drawn
the
Sky
in
an
huge
large
Landskip
,
so
lively
that
the
Birds
have
flown
against
it
,
thinking
it
free
Air
,
and
so
have
fallen
down
.
And
if
Painters
'
and
Juglers
by
the
tricks
of
Legerdemain
can
do
such
strange
feats
to
the
deceiving
of
the
sight
,
it
is
no
wonder
that
these
Airy
invisible
Spirits
as
far
surpass
them
in
all
such
praestigious
doings
as
the
Air
surpasses
the
Earth
for
subtilty
.
And
the
like
may
be
in
the
Toad
.
It
might
be
a
real
Toad
(
though
actuated
and
guided
by
a
Daemon
)
which
was
cut
in
pieces
,
and
that
also
which
was
whipt
about
,
and
at
last
snatcht
out
of
sight
(
as
if
it
had
vanished
)
by
these
AErial
s.
And
if
some
Juglers
have
tricks
to
take
hot
Coals
into
their
Mouth
without
hurt
,
certainly
it
is
no
strange
thing
that
some
small
attempt
did
not
suffice
to
burn
that
Toad
.
That
such
a
Toad
,
sent
by
a
Witch
and
crawling
up
the
Body
of
the
Man
of
the
house
as
he
sate
by
the
fire's
side
,
was
over-mastered
by
him
and
his
Wife
together
,
and
burnt
in
the
fire
;
I
have
heard
sometime
ago
credibly
reported
by
one
of
the
Isle
of
Of
these
Daemoniack
Vermin
,
I
have
heard
other
stories
also
,
as
of
a
Rat
that
followed
a
Man
some
score
of
Miles
trudging
through
thick
and
thin
along
with
him
.
So
little
difficulty
is
there
in
that
of
the
Toad
.
And
that
of
s
being
seen
to
fly
in
at
her
own
Chamber
Window
,
there
is
no
difficulty
in
it
,
if
it
be
understood
of
her
the
black
Man
,
that
had
transformed
himself
into
her
shape
.
For
this
is
no
such
unusual
thing
for
Witches
to
appear
either
in
their
or
by
their
as
if
it
were
their
very
bodily
Persons
.
But
when
she
appeared
to
the
Maid
together
with
the
black
Man
and
offered
her
to
drink
,
it
is
likely
it
was
her
being
wounded
in
her
body
by
the
wound
on
her
Astral
Spirit
is
just
such
another
case
,
as
that
of
which
you
your self
note
in
your
Book
of
Witchcraft
.
The
most
incredible
thing
is
her
eating
of
Pins
,
she
knowing
them
to
be
such
.
But
they
that
are
bewitched
are
not
themselves
,
and
being
possessed
are
actuated
in
the
parts
of
their
body
,
and
their
mind
driven
by
that
ugly
inmate
in
them
,
to
what
he
will
;
which
is
notorious
in
the
story
of
Mrs.
's
Children
.
And
for
the
Pins
thus
swallowed
,
their
comeing
out
into
the
exterior
parts
of
her
body
,
Examples
of
this
sort
are
infinite
;
and
far
more
strange
than
these
are
recorded
by
These
are
the
most
incredible
passages
in
this
Narrative
,
and
yet
you
see
how
credible
they
are
,
if
rightly
understood
.
But
those
that
believe
no
Spirits
will
believe
nothing
never
so
credible
of
this
kind
,
and
others
that
have
some
natural
aversion
from
these
things
will
presently
interpret
them
in
the
vulgar
sense
,
and
then
sweetly
snear
at
their
own
ignorance
.
But
I
must
confess
if
this
be
a
true
Relation
of
what
passed
in
the
Court
,
I
do
not
question
but
the
things
that
were
sworn
did
so
appear
to
them
that
swore
them
.
Or
else
there
is
nothing
to
be
credited
in
human
affairs
.
But
concerning
the
truth
of
the
Relation
,
besides
what
I
hinted
in
my
last
to
you
,
you
would
do
well
to
write
to
some
or
other
in
&c.
Thus
far
Dr.
And
if
any
one
be
so
curious
as
to
desire
an
account
of
Mr.
his
further
inquiry
into
this
business
,
I
can
tell
him
that
he
wrote
to
Mr.
who
then
busy
in
some
Court
,
yet
made
shift
to
read
the
Narrative
and
wrote
two
or
three
lines
to
him
back
to
this
effect
.
That
one
principal
Evidence
was
omitted
in
the
Narrative
,
but
that
is
nothing
against
the
truth
of
the
rest
.
But
he
adds
also
,
that
some
things
were
false
.
Which
would
stumble
one
and
make
him
think
that
the
credit
of
this
Narrative
is
quite
blasted
thereby
.
But
this
Riddle
is
easily
unriddled
by
him
that
considers
,
that
Mr.
may
respect
those
things
that
are
said
to
be
confest
by
her
in
her
examination
before
a
Justice
of
Peace
.
For
he
also
having
some
time
Examined
her
,
and
she
making
no
such
confession
to
him
(
as
Mr.
himself
says
in
a
Letter
to
Dr.
that
he
perused
that
Examination
in
Mr.
Book
,
and
there
was
not
any
thing
considerable
therein
)
might
speak
this
in
reference
to
the
Examination
which
he
had
taken
,
she
then
not
confessing
so
freely
as
to
some
other
Justice
,
whose
Examination
therefore
was
made
use
of
in
the
Court
.
But
this
cannot
concern
at
all
the
rest
of
the
Narrative
,
which
was
given
upon
Oath
in
the
Court
in
the
hearing
of
all
.
This
I
thought
fit
not
to
omit
as
being
desirous
to
deal
with
all
faithfulness
in
concealing
nothing
,
and
not
to
impose
upon
the
Reader
,
but
that
he
may
make
his
judgment
upon
the
whole
matter
.
As
for
the
Witches
being
hurried
along
with
that
Hare-like
Spectre
,
her
being
out
of
breath
(
as
the
Huntsman
testified
)
makes
it
most
probable
;
or
at
least
that
she
was
hurried
from
some
other
place
on
the
earth
,
or
in
the
air
(
to
meet
there
at
length
with
the
Hare-like
Spectre
)
but
this
invisibly
by
that
art
or
faculty
of
these
ludicrous
Daemons
,
whereby
they
can
so
modifie
the
Air
immediately
next
to
the
party
they
would
conceal
,
that
it
looks
there
like
the
free
Skie
,
or
what
Landskip
they
please
;
as
when
they
shew
in
a
or
Glass
,
the
very
Room
in
which
the
party
is
,
the
Daemon
by
the
power
of
his
Imagination
,
so
modifying
at
least
his
own
Vehicle
.
Which
power
some
of
those
of
the
Atheistick
Brotherhood
cannot
wish
any
face
deny
,
supposing
there
are
Daemons
,
they
giving
a
greater
power
to
the
Imagination
of
a
Man
,
as
if
it
were
able
to
transform
the
Air
into
real
Birds
or
Mice
,
or
such
like
Creatures
livingly
such
for
the
present
.
But
any
thing
must
be
believed
,
rather
than
the
Existence
of
Witches
and
Daemons
.
It
will
not
be
amiss
here
to
take
notice
what
an
eminent
example
this
is
of
taken
in
the
same
sense
,
that
is
,
of
such
a
Witch
as
is
thought
by
a
power
(
though
it
is
the
Devil
that
does
these
feats
,
not
she
)
to
transform
her self
into
strange
shapes
,
and
use
other
like
deceptions
of
the
sight
.
As
also
it
is
a
notable
instance
of
the
of
Witches
,
how
strongly
,
though
at
a
distance
of
place
,
they
are
tyed
together
in
a
fatal
Sympathy
with
their
Bodies
,
the
Body
of
being
wounded
by
a
stab
at
her
as
it
fared
also
in
and
an
Old
Woman
in
coming
into
a
Mans
house
,
(
as
he
was
sitting
alone
at
the
fire
)
in
the
shape
of
an
huge
Cat
,
and
setting
her self
before
the
fire
,
not
sar
from
him
,
he
stole
a
stroke
at
the
back
of
it
with
a
Fire-fork
,
and
seemed
to
break
the
back
of
it
,
but
it
scambled
from
him
,
and
vanisht
be
kn●…w
not
how
.
But
such
an
Old
Woman
,
a
reputed
Witch
,
was
found
dead
in
her
Bed
that
very
night
,
with
her
Back
broken
,
as
I
have
heard
some
years
ago
credibly
reported
.
That
also
is
a
marvellous
in
this
story
of
that
the
burning
of
the
Ears
of
the
Beast
bewitched
by
her
,
should
put
her
into
such
rage
and
torment
.
Like
the
heating
of
the
Tile
red
hot
in
the
story
of
and
pouring
some
of
the
bewitched
Maids
water
upon
it
.
Which
puts
me
in
mind
of
a
very
remarkable
story
of
this
kind
,
told
me
by
Mr.
once
Fellow
of
Christs
Colledge
in
who
boarded
in
an
house
in
where
his
Landlady
had
been
ill
handled
by
Witchcraft
.
For
an
Old
Man
that
Travelled
up
and
down
the
Country
,
and
had
some
acquaintance
at
that
house
,
calling
in
and
asking
the
Man
of
the
house
how
he
did
and
his
Wife
;
He
told
him
that
himself
was
well
,
but
his
Wife
had
been
a
long
time
in
a
languishing
condition
,
and
that
she
was
haunted
with
a
thing
in
the
shape
of
a
Bird
,
that
would
flurr
near
to
her
face
,
and
that
she
could
not
enjoy
her
natural
rest
well
.
The
Old
Man
bid
him
and
his
Wife
be
of
good
courage
.
he
said
,
and
he
would
put
him
in
a
course
to
rid
his
Wife
of
this
languishment
and
trouble
.
He
therefore
advised
him
to
take
a
Bottle
,
and
put
his
Wives
Urine
into
it
,
together
with
Pins
and
Needles
and
Nails
,
and
Cork
them
up
,
and
set
the
Bottle
to
the
fire
,
but
be
sure
the
Cork
be
fast
in
it
,
that
it
fly
not
out
.
The
Man
followed
the
prescription
,
and
set
the
Bootle
to
the
fire
well
corkt
,
which
when
it
had
felt
a
while
the
heat
of
the
fire
began
to
move
and
joggle
a
little
,
but
he
for
sureness
took
the
Fireshovel
,
and
held
it
hard
upon
the
Cork
.
And
as
he
thought
he
felt
something
one
while
on
this
side
,
another
while
on
that
,
shove
the
Fireshovel
off
,
which
he
still
quickly
put
on
again
,
but
at
last
at
one
shoving
the
Cork
bounced
out
,
and
the
Urine
,
Pins
,
Nails
and
Needles
all
flew
up
,
and
gave
a
report
like
a
Pistol
,
and
his
Wife
continued
in
the
same
trouble
and
languishment
still
.
Not
long
after
,
the
Old
Man
came
to
the
house
again
,
and
inquired
of
the
Man
of
the
house
how
his
Wife
did
.
Who
answered
as
ill
as
ever
,
if
not
worse
.
He
askt
him
if
he
had
followed
his
direction
.
Yes
,
says
he
,
and
told
him
the
event
as
is
abovesaid
.
Ha
,
quoth
he
,
it
seems
it
was
too
nimble
for
you
.
But
now
I
will
put
you
in
a
way
,
that
will
make
the
business
sure
.
Take
your
Wive's
Urine
as
before
,
and
Cork
it
in
a
Bottle
with
Nails
,
Pins
and
Needles
,
and
bury
it
in
the
Earth
;
and
that
will
do
the
feat
.
The
Man
did
accordingly
.
And
his
Wife
began
to
mend
sensibly
,
and
in
a
competent
time
was
finely
well
recovered
.
But
there
came
a
Woman
from
a
Town
some
miles
off
to
their
house
,
with
a
lamentable
Out-cry
,
that
they
had
killed
her
Husband
.
They
askt
her
what
she
meant
and
thought
her
distracted
,
telling
her
they
knew
neither
her
nor
her
husband
.
Yes
,
saith
she
,
you
have
killed
my
husband
,
he
told
me
so
on
his
Death-bed
.
But
at
last
they
understood
by
her
,
that
her
Husband
was
a
Wizzard
,
and
had
bewitched
this
Mans
Wife
,
and
that
this
Counter-practice
prescribed
by
the
Old
Man
,
which
saved
the
Mans
Wife
from
languishment
,
was
the
death
of
that
Wizzard
that
had
bewitcht
her
.
This
story
did
Mr.
hear
from
the
Man
and
Womans
own
Mouth
who
were
concerned
,
and
at
whose
House
he
for
a
time
Boarded
,
nor
is
there
any
doubt
of
the
truth
thereof
.
But
it
will
be
more
easie
for
any
rational
Man
to
believe
stories
of
this
kind
,
than
to
find
out
a
satisfactory
account
of
the
operation
and
effect
,
or
to
assure
the
lawfulness
of
such
counter-practice
against
Witchcraft
,
unless
they
can
be
resolved
into
the
of
the
(
which
the
grand
Magician
)
such
as
the
operation
of
the
Weapon-salve
,
and
other
Magnetick
Cures
are
resolved
into
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
power
of
a
truly
such
as
Prophets
and
Holy
Law-givers
are
endued
with
,
is
too
great
and
August
to
be
sound
in
ordinary
good
Men
,
that
are
to
bring
in
no
new
Law
or
Religion
into
the
World
,
the
benignity
of
Providence
is
to
be
acknowledged
in
that
the
Villanies
of
Witchcraft
lye
obnoxious
to
such
a
natural
or
ratified
way
of
as
these
.
But
how
this
obnoxiousness
of
Witches
is
complicated
with
their
Familiars
sucking
their
Bodies
,
is
a
point
too
nice
and
prolix
to
enter
upon
here
.
But
it
is
most
safe
not
to
tamper
at
all
with
these
things
,
and
most
happy
to
have
no
occasion
for
it
.
Lastly
,
as
for
her
not
being
able
to
say
one
of
the
Petitions
in
the
Lords
Prayer
,
the
case
is
like
that
of
Witch
,
but
unlike
in
this
,
that
it
was
not
the
same
Petition
stuck
at
.
And
I
remember
when
I
had
the
curiosity
with
a
friend
of
mine
,
of
examining
certain
Witches
at
the
most
notorious
of
them
,
who
also
was
hanged
for
a
Witch
,
offered
to
say
the
Creed
and
Lords
Prayer
,
as
an
Argument
she
was
no
Witch
,
and
so
far
as
I
remember
,
she
said
the
Lords
Prayer
right
,
but
was
out
at
the
Creed
;
nor
do
I
think
this
any
certain
sign
of
their
guilt
or
innocenty
,
and
therefore
Judge
did
well
to
lay
no
stress
on
it
.
But
these
things
are
of
less
moment
,
and
therefore
I
pass
to
the
next
Relation
,
which
looks
not
so
much
like
Witchcraft
,
as
the
Apparition
of
the
Ghost
of
one
deceased
.

Lypyatt
Rolf
Bayly
Joshuah
Sacheverell
saw
this
sesms
to
be
a
thing
indubitable
;
but
whether
it
was
his
Father
in
Law
's
Ghost
,
that
is
more
questionable
.
The
former
is
confirmed
from
an
hand
at
least
impartial
,
if
not
disfavourable
to
the
story
.
The
party
in
his
Letter
to
Mr.
writes
briefly
to
this
effect
That
he
does
verily
think
that
this
does
believe
the
story
most
strongly
himself
.
That
he
cannot
imagine
what
interest
he
should
have
in
raising
such
a
story
,
he
bringing
Infamy
on
his
Wives
Father
,
and
obliging
himself
to
pay
twenty
shillings
debt
,
which
his
poverty
could
very
ill
spare
.
That
his
Father
in
Law
was
a
resolute
sturdy
fellow
in
his
young
years
,
and
many
years
a
Bailiff
to
Arrest
people
.
had
the
repute
of
an
honest
Man
,
knew
as
much
in
Religion
as
most
of
his
rank
and
breeding
,
and
was
a
constant
frequenter
of
the
Church
,
till
about
a
year
before
this
happened
to
him
,
he
fell
off
wholly
to
the
Non-Conformists
.
All
this
hitherto
,
save
this
laft
of
all
,
tends
to
the
Confirmation
of
the
story
.
Therefore
this
last
shall
be
the
first
Allegation
against
the
credibility
thereof
.
It
is
further
alledged
,
that
possibly
the
design
of
the
story
may
be
to
make
him
to
be
accounted
an
extraordinary
some-body
amongst
the
dissenting
party
.
That
he
is
sometimes
troubled
with
Epileptical
fits
.
That
the
Major
sent
the
next
Morning
to
digg
the
place
where
the
Spectre
said
the
Murdered
Man
was
Buried
,
and
there
was
neither
bones
found
nor
any
difference
of
the
Earth
in
that
place
from
the
rest
.
But
we
answer
briefly
to
the
first
,
That
his
falling
off
to
the
Non-Conformists
though
it
may
argue
a
vacillancy
of
his
judgment
,
yet
it
does
not
any
defect
of
his
external
senses
,
as
if
he
were
less
able
to
discern
when
he
saw
or
heard
any
thing
than
before
:
To
the
second
,
That
it
is
a
perfect
contradiction
to
his
strong
belief
of
the
truth
of
his
own
story
,
which
plainly
implies
that
he
did
not
feign
it
to
make
himself
an
extraordinary
some-body
:
To
the
third
,
That
an
Epileptical
Person
when
he
is
out
of
his
fits
,
hath
his
external
senses
as
true
and
entire
,
as
a
Drunken
Man
has
when
his
Drunken
fit
is
over
,
or
a
Man
awake
after
a
night
of
sleep
and
dreams
.
So
that
this
argument
has
not
the
least
shew
of
force
with
it
,
unless
you
will
take
away
the
authority
of
all
Mens
senses
,
because
at
sometimes
they
have
not
a
competent
use
of
them
,
namely
in
sleep
,
drunkenness
or
the
like
.
But
now
lastly
for
the
fourth
which
is
most
considerable
,
it
is
yet
of
no
greater
force
than
to
make
it
questionable
whether
this
Spectre
was
the
Ghost
of
his
Father
,
or
some
ludicrous
Goblin
that
would
put
a
trick
upon
by
personating
his
Father-in-Law
,
and
by
a
false
pointing
at
the
pretended
grave
of
the
Murdered
make
him
ridiculous
.
For
what
has
noted
,
1.
doubt
not
but
is
true
,
That
sometimes
personate
the
Souls
of
the
deceased
.
But
if
an
uncossined
body
being
laid
in
a
ground
exposed
to
wet
and
dry
,
the
Earth
may
in
years
space
consume
the
very
bones
and
assimilate
all
to
to
the
rest
of
the
mold
,
when
some
Earths
will
do
it
in
less
than
the
fifteenth
part
of
that
space
:
Or
if
the
Ghost
of
might
have
forgot
the
certain
place
(
it
being
no
grateful
object
of
his
memory
)
where
he
buried
the
murdered
Man
,
and
only
guessed
that
to
be
it
because
it
was
something
sunk
,
as
if
the
Earth
yielded
upon
the
wasting
of
the
Buried
body
,
the
rest
of
the
story
will
still
naturally
import
that
it
was
the
very
Ghost
of
Besides
,
himself
expresly
declares
,
as
that
the
body
was
Buried
there
,
so
that
by
this
time
it
was
all
turn'd
into
dust
.
But
whether
it
was
a
ludicrous
Ghost
,
concerns
not
our
scope
.
It
is
sufficient
that
it
is
a
certain
instance
of
a
real
Apparition
,
and
I
thought
sit
as
in
the
former
story
,
so
here
to
be
so
faithful
as
to
conceal
nothing
that
any
might
pretend
to
lessen
the
credibility
thereof
.
Stories
of
the
appearing
of
Souls
departed
are
not
for
the
tooth
of
the
Non-conformists
,
who
,
as
it
is
said
,
if
they
generally
believe
this
,
it
must
be
from
the
undeniable
evidence
thereof
nor
could
gratifie
them
by
inventing
of
it
.
And
that
it
was
not
a
phansy
the
knowledge
of
the
Shillings
debt
imparted
to
ignorant
thereof
before
,
and
his
Brother
s
hearing
a
voice
distinct
from
his
in
his
discourse
with
the
does
plainly
enough
imply
.
Nor
was
it
s
own
phansy
,
but
that
real
Spectre
that
opened
his
shop-window
.
Nor
his
imagination
,
but
something
in
the
shape
of
an
Hare
that
made
his
Horse
start
and
cast
him
into
the
dirt
;
The
Apparition
of
being
then
accompanied
with
that
Hare
,
as
after
with
the
Mastiff-Dog
.
And
lastly
the
whole
frame
of
the
story
,
provided
the
Relator
does
verily
think
it
true
himself
(
as
Mr.
testifies
for
him
in
his
Letter
to
Mr.
and
himself
profest
he
was
ready
at
any
time
to
swear
to
it
)
is
such
,
that
it
being
not
a
voluntary
invention
,
cannot
be
an
imposing
phansy
.

For
a
further
assurance
of
the
truth
of
the
story
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
take
notice
what
Mr.
writes
in
his
second
Letter
to
Mr.
touching
the
Character
of
the
Major
and
the
Captain
.
They
were
both
,
saith
he
,
of
my
good
acquaintance
,
Men
well
bred
,
and
of
a
brisk
humour
and
jolly
conversation
,
of
very
quick
and
keen
parts
,
having
also
been
both
of
them
University
and
Inns
of
Court
Gentlemen
.
The
Major
I
conceive
was
about
forty
five
years
old
when
he
dyed
,
and
I
believe
the
Captain
might
then
be
fifty
or
somewhat
more
.
I
cannot
understand
that
the
Doctor
and
the
Captain
had
any
discourse
concerning
the
former
engagement
to
meet
,
after
the
disappointment
at
that
time
and
place
,
or
whether
the
Captain
had
after
that
any
expectation
of
the
performance
of
the
promise
which
the
Major
had
made
him
.
Thus
far
Mr.
And
truly
one
would
naturally
think
,
that
he
failing
the
solemn
appointed
time
,
the
Captain
would
consequently
let
go
all
hopes
and
expectation
of
his
appearing
afterward
.
Or
if
he
did
,
that
it
would
be
at
such-time
of
the
night
as
was
first
determined
of
,
and
not
at
the
morning
light
.
Which
season
yet
is
less
obnoxious
to
the
Impostures
of
Fancy
and
Melancholy
,
and
therefore
adds
some
weight
to
the
assurance
of
the
truth
of
the
Apparition
.
I
will
only
add
one
clause
more
out
of
that
second
Letter
that
makes
to
the
point
.
This
story
,
saith
he
,
has
and
doth
still
obtain
credit
from
all
that
knew
the
Captain
,
who
it
seems
was
not
at
all
shie
or
scrupulous
to
relate
it
to
any
one
that
askt
him
concerning
it
,
though
it
was
observed
he
never
mentioned
it
,
but
with
great
terrour
and
trepidation
.

(

for

note

what
I

this
to

all
three
times

that

of

rest
is
muchwhat
as
Mr.
has
declared
.
But
I
will
not
omit
the
close
of
Mr.
Letter
.
I
was
confirmed
in
the
truth
of
the
premisses
,
by
Mr.
who
was
then
a
Servant
with
this
Mr.
to
the
Duke
,
and
who
told
me
that
he
knew
Mr.
to
be
a
Religious
and
sober
Person
,
and
that
every
particular
related
was
to
his
knowledge
true
.

the

perfect
as
it
is
,
and
so
credible

that
I
thought
it

And
this

is
as
follows

Edward
Fowler
(
viz.
This
Relation
was
sent
to
Dr.
from
Mr.
at
the
end
whereof
he
writes
,
that
Dr.
as
well
as
himself
,
heard
it
from
Mr.
s
own
mouth
.
And
I
can
add
,
that
I
also
afterwards
heard
it
from
his
own
mouth
at
Do

This
story
was
also
sent
from
Mr.
to
Dr.
concerning
which
he
further
adds
by
way
of
Postscript
,
that
Mr.
told
this
story
to
Mrs.
and
at
her
request
he
told
it
a
second
time
in
her
hearing
at
the
Table
.
My
Lady
being
then
present
,
inquired
afterwards
concerning
it
of
My
Lord
who
confirmed
the
truth
of
it
,
acknowledging
all
the
circumstances
of
this
Narrative
to
My
Lady
to
be
true
except
that
passage
,
That
the
Spectre
told
the
Man
that
he
was
that
day
going
about
an
unlawful
business
.
And
Mr.
further
adds
,
that
since
an
eminent
Doctor
in
this
City
told
me
that
My
Lord
told
him
,
that
he
saw
at
his
own
house
a
Man
taken
up
into
the

Lastly
,
I
find
Dr.
in
a
Letter
to
Mr.
affirming
that
he
also
heard
Mr.
tell

by

for

the
main
Particulars
that
occur
in
the
Dutch
Printed
Narrative
,
which
Monsieur
brought
over
with
him
to
my
Lady
who
having
inquired
upon
the
Spot
when
he
was
there
at
though
of
a
Genius
not
at
all
credulous
of
such
Relations
,
found
the
thing
to
be
really
true
.
As
also
in
a
Letter
to
Dr.
sent
this
Testimony
touching
the
party
cured
,
That
she
was
always
reputed
a
very
honest
good
Woman
,
and
that
he
believed
there
was
no
fraud
at
all
in
the
business
.
This
Story
is
found
amongst
Mr.
Papers
,
written
to
him
from
Dr.
who
says
,
some
three
months
before
,
he
had
received
it
from
the
parties
own
mouth
,
that
was
at
the
haunted
house
in
and
saw
the
motion
of
the
Bedstaves
and
Tobacco-pipe
,
And
I
very
well
remember
,
that
about
Thirty
or
Forty
years
ago
,
there
was
a
great
fame
of
an
house
haunted
at
and
such
like
feats
us
this
Spectator
saw
,
was
rumoured
of
it
,
and
the
time
agrees
with
that
of
this
Spectator
or
Eye-witness
of
the
above
recited
Feats
.
And
a
Book
was
then
said
to
be
Printed
,
though
I
never
saw
any
but
one
of
late
without
any
date
of
the
year
,
the
things
then
being
in
when
it
was
Printed
.
And
they
seem
to
referr
to
the
same
haunted
place
,
though
the
Pamphlet
names
But
the
haunting
of
which
the
fame
went
so
many
years
ago
I
very
well
remember
was
But
whether
was
talked
of
instead
of
it
being
a
place
near
,
and
of
more
note
,
I
know
not
.
And
a
Weaver
,
was
the
Man
whose
house
was
haunted
in
according
to
that
Pamphlet
If
the
Gentleman
that
so
well
remembers
the
strange
things
he
saw
,
had
not
forgot
the
Mans
name
whose
house
was
haunted
(
and
the
strangeness
of
those
things
would
fix
themselves
in
his
memory
,
even
whether
he
would
or
no
,
when
the
name
of
the
Master
of
the
house
might
easily
in
Thirty
or
Forty
years
time
slide
out
of
it
)
we
might
be
sure
whether
it

But
I
am
sure
the
fame
went

that

Party
,
who
told
Dr.
the
story
,
six
the
Scene
without
all
scruple
in
But
methinks
I
hear
the
Reader
complain
,
that
it
was
a
great
omission
in
Mr.
that
he
did
not
inquire
of
Dr.
who
this
party
was
that
told
him
the
story
,
it
seeming
an
headless
piece
without
that
part
.
Wherefore
I
find
in
a
Paper
(
whose
Title
is
Doctor
these
words
in
answer
to
Mr.
That
it
is
Dr.
a
Prebendary
of
and
a
sober
intelligent
person
.
And
some
dozen
lines
after
,
Dr.
says
,
Dr.
told
the
story
to
my self
,
and
to
Dr.
who
brought
me
to
him
.
And
I
have
told
you
already
,
that
he
is
a
person
of
understanding
and
integrity
.
He
has
also
some
Sermons
in
Print
as
I
take
it
.
But
for
as
much
as
it
was
about
three
months
after
Dr.
had
received
this
account
of
the
story
from
Dr.
that
he
wrote
to
Mr.
it
is
not
to
be
expected
that
he
related
it
in
the
very
same
words
,
and
in
every
punctilio
as
he
heard
it
.
But
I
dare
undertake
for
him
that
for
the
main
,
and
that
which
makes
to
the
evincing
of
Witchcraft
,
and
the
ludicrous
Feats
of
Daemons
,
that
he
hath
committed
no
errour
therein
,

A
very
considerable
Story
this
is
,
and
sufficiently
circumstantiated
for
time
and
place
,
saving
that
the
County
is
not
named
.
The
reason
whereof
I
conceive
to
be
,
that
it
was
in
the
very
County
in
which
Mr.
lived
,
to
whom
the
Information
was
sent
,
namely
in
And
there
are
more
than
one
there
,
and
also
but
this
is
determined
by
the
space
of
something
more
than
a
Mile
and
an
halfs
distance
from
So
that
the
Topographical
account
is
sufficiently
exact
.
And
the
manner
of
the
Narrative
is
so
simple
,
plain
and
rural
,
that
it
prevents
all
suspicion
of
fraud
or
Imposture
in
the
Relatour
.
The
transporting
of
things
out
of
one
Room
into
another
,
and
striking
and
the
like
by
invisible
Agents
,
minds
me
of
Mr.
s
story
,
as
't
is
called
in
Mr.
s
Papers
,
whom
in
a
Letter
he
'
tells
he
may
rely
upon
it
for
truth
,
as
being
sent
from
a
Person
of
Quality
and
Integrity
in
those
parts
.
It
is
of
an
House
haunted
of
one
of
the
Parish
of
in
the
County
of
some
Two
and
Twenty
Years
ago
.
Where
besides
strange
kind
of
Tunable
Whistlings
in
the
Rooms
,
where
none
was
seen
to
Whistle
,
there
were
stones
flung
down
out
of
a
loft
of
great
weight
,
the
Doors
bolted
or
barred
against
them
on
the
inside
,
when
returned
from
the
Church
,
no
body
being
within
.
And
at
Prayers
at
home
when
some
of
the
Women
out
of
fear
held
one
another
by
the
Arms
,
some
Invisible
Power
would
pluck
asunder
their
Arms
,
whether
they
would
or
no.
By
such
an
Invisible
force
,
one
as
he
was
sitting
at
Supper
,
was
struck
flat
to
the
ground
,
and
a
Trencher
struck
out
of
the
Maids
Hand
that
waited
,
and
a
smart
Box
on
the
Ear
given
to
another
,
no
Visible
thing
being
near
that
did
it
.
A
Purse
lost
with
Two
Gold
Rings
,
and
Six
and
Four-pence
in
it
,
the
party
complaining
thereof
,
the
Purse
dropt
down
from
the
top
of
the
Room
,
which
had
no
Room
over
it
,
and
Four-pence
only
in
it
.
That
Men
were
struck
down
with
Stones
,
and
yet
had
no
great
hurt
,
shews
plainly
they
were
not
flung
but
carried
.
But
there
was
one
beaten
with
Two
S●…aves
black
and
blue
,
but
none
to
be
seen
that
thus
belaboured
him
,
though
in
the
Day
.
We
pass
by
the
beaten
with
a
little
piece
of
Iron
,
and
tinkling
over
a
Mans
Head
in
the
Night
,
to
his
being
struck
down
with
a
Stick
by
Day
,
while
he
tended
the
Goose
roasting
,
which
that
Invisible
Striker
seemed
to
have
a
Plot
upon
,
as
also
by
his
knocking
a
Pick-Axe
against
the
Lid
of
a
Coffer
,
to
have
a
Design
upon
a
Bag
of
Money
.
These
and
the
like
Feats
,
that
Narrative
relates
,
which
Mr.
calls
Mr.
s
Story
,
who
assures
him
he
may
rely
on
the
Truth
thereof
,
he
procuring
it
from
a
Justice
of
Peace
,
who
took
the
parties
Testimonies
that
dwelt
in
the
House
,
or
upon
occasions
were
present
there
,
and
were
Eye-Witnesses
of
the
strange
Pranks
that
were
plaid
in
the
place
.
And
there
being
that
Congeneracy
betwixt
Story
and
this
,
they
mutually
corroborate
one
another
.

There
is
an
odd
story
depending
on
this
,
which
I
cannot
chuse
but
tell
you
.
The
Boys
Friends
put
the
Trustees
and
Executor
on
this
Apparitions
account
into
our
Courts
,
where
it
was
pleasant
to
hear
my
Lord
talk
to
them
on
the
whole
matter
.
The
Uncle
and
Trustee
,
one
forswore
the
thing
,
railed
on
and
made
strange
imprecations
,
and
wisht
Judgments
might
fall
on
him
if
he
knew
of
any
such
Lease
;
but
the
fear
of
the
Apparitions
menaces
by
scar'd
him
into
a
of
justice
at
least
.
About
four
or
five
years
after
,
when
my
Lord
died
,
and
the
noise
of
the
Apparition
was
over
,
began
again
to
threaten
the
Boy
with
Law
,
But
being
drunk
at
coming
home
he
fell
from
his
Horse
,
and
never
spake
more
.
This
is
a
sad
truth
to
my
knowledge
.

long

I
lived
here
before

,
and
had
one
Son
by
my
Husband
.
When
he
died
I
married
a

,
by
whom
I
had
several
Children

that
former
Son
maintained

go
to
my
Son

lives
here

which
I
had
by
my
latter
Husband

and
tell
him
that
he
lives
a
wicked
and
a
dissolute
life

and
is
very
unnatural
and
ungrateful
to
his
Brother

life

Seven
years

For

David

I
have
spoken
lately
with
two
simple
Country-people
who
have
been
much
perplexed
with
two
several
persons
who
have
died
lately
.
The
stories
are
too
long
to
relate
;
but
the
circumstances
are
such
,
as
I
know
not
how
to
misbelieve
the
stories
.
The
persons
cannot
be
suspected
to
have
any
design
,
and
were
altogether
unacquainted
in
the
Families
of
them
that
appeared
,
and
wholly
ignorant
of
those
things
in
them
that
they
now
relate
,
and
have
charge
to
sollicite
the
amendment
of
some
miscarriages
by
some
persons
intrusted
,
which
they
could
never
hear
of
,
as
is
supposed
,
by
any
other
means
.
There
are
many
other
probabilities
,
but
all
evaded
by
several
persons
here
.
The
Relation
I
sent
you
of
two
in
this
Country
is
certainly
liable
to
as
little
exception
as
any
one
shall
meet
with
;
As
may
appear
by
the
diligent
search
some
have
made
for
a
flaw
and
Objection
against
the
parties
,
who
,
after
all
,
they
confess
,
must
needs
appear
perfectly
uninteressed
,
and
impossible
to
have
had
from
any
concerned
what
they
have
delivered
.
But
they
believe
that
either
Drunkenness
or
desperate
Melancholy
did
by
chance
enable
them
to
light
upon
greater
truths
than
themselves
thought
of
