A Conflict with Satan in Moorfields, upon the tenth of Decemb. 1654.

AS I walkt in Moorfields, me thought there came to me a young man clothed in white, I askt him the way into Canaan, and he directed me into a dark Forrest, where was nothing but Owls, Snakes and Bats, the trees being all covered with glow-worms; I aske him his name, and he told me, he was called Bunhil, and that he was a Miller by his trade: He askt me to drink with him, and car∣ried me into a dark Cave, where the Hostess came to us and brought us Ale in an old Lamp, which was ful of Aquafortis. The young man drank to me, but when I tasted it, it had like to have choakt mee; then I turned to blow my nose, and I saw a company of hoggs; these, said the young man, are the heard of Swine that came from Gazaret, and desired me to slay and eat. With that, J mistrusting him, trnued up his petticoat, which he had under a long robe hee wore, and found his feet to be cloven, and his cods were made af∣ter the fashion of milkpails, then said a voice, this is the great dra∣gon, bind him, and I took 2 yards of white yncle, and bound him to the earth, and a voice answered, Tis enough. Hallelujah.
