Shee further saith, That upon Friday night last, her Spirit came to her and told her, That there was a bad woman at Dee∣ping who had given her soule to the Devill: and that her said Spirit did then appeare unto her in a more ugly for me then it had formerly done, and that it urged her much to give it some∣thing, although it were but a piece of her girdle, and told her that it had taken great paines for her, but shee saith that shee

would give it nothing, and told it that shee had sent it to no place, but onely to see how my Lord Rosse did, and that her spi∣rit told her, that he should doe well.
