Worshippers some of them whom thou givest most to finding all empty fading cloying vexing and so far short of what thou promisedst and they look'd for and others of them are put off with scanty parcels of what thou flatter'dst them with scarce getting Hutts for their Heads Scraps for their Bellies Raggs for their Backs and Graves for their Corpses but think not thus to impose on him since thy part in the Vow or Bargain thou tellest of is not kept by thee as abovesaid it must needs be void and he now free from it so as you having thence no part nor lot in him cease Dancing Satan and be gone from him upon which the Demoniack forbore Dancing for a while walking very hastily and angerly too and fro till at last he fell to Dancing again the Minister said Canst thou Dance no better Ransack the old Records of all past times and places in thy memory Canst thou not there find out some other way of finer trampling pump thine invention dry Cannot that universal Seed-plot of subtle Wiles and Stratagems spring up one new method of cutting Capers Is this the top of skill and pride to shuffle feet and brandish knees thus and to trip like a Doe and skip like a Squirrel and wherein differs thy leapings from the hoppings of a Frogg or bounces of a Goat or friskings of a Dog or gesticulations of a Monkey And cannot a Palsey shake such a loose Leg as that Dost not thou twirle like a Calf that has the turn and twitch up thy Houghs just like a spring hault fit or does the thoughts of thy treading of the Wine-press of the fierceness of the Almighties Wrath Rev. 19.15 strike thee into such Convulsions as toss and distort and jert thee thus Or does thy walking on the burning Coals of his Fury make thee startle and fling and sprent so wretchedly During this Discourse the Demoniack seem'd sometimes as put out of his Dances till he fell into his dead Fit whence arising he fell to Dancing again the Minister saying Is this a time for thee to Dance in when the other Devils are a trembling hast not thou heard the News so sad and fatal to them and thee that the great day of the Lord is near It is near and hasteth greatly even the Voice of the day of the Lord the day of Wrath and fiery jealousie of trouble and distress of wastness and desolation of thick clouds and gloominess Zeph. 1.14 15. Mark mark Satan dost not thou see the Angel coming down from Heaven Having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand laying hold on the Dragon the old Serpent the Devil and Satan and binding and casting them into the bottomless pit where he will shut and seal and keep you up from deceiving or troubling men on Earth Rev. 20.1 2 3. So that thou shalt no longer tell that the World and its Kingdom Power and Glory is deliver'd to thee and to whomsoever thou wilt thou givest it Luke 9.6 7. and that thou wilt give it Christ upon his Worshipping thee No no it shall be his whether thou wilt or no for behold he cometh with Fire and with his Chariots like a Whirle wind to render his anger with fury and his rebukes with flames of Fire to take unto him his great power and to reign for ever and ever and to extend his Churches peace as a River and her glory as a stream flowing over the Earth as the Waters cover the Sea satisfying his People with joy and gladness delights and satisfying consolations for the abundance of her glory Rev. 11.15 17. and 10.7 Isa 66.10 to 16. and notwithstanding your Plots against the First and Second Adam and all your devices to hinder his coming Behold he comes quickly and his reward is with him Rev. 22.12 And should ye pray to him as when he was on Earth Mat. 8.29 Luke 8.28 to stay the Wheels of his Chariots And should ye beg more earnestly than ever any dying Man did for a few moments longer out of Hell yet surely he will not tarry Hab. 2.3 And art thou like the Malefactor on the Gallows ready to be turned off the Ladder and yet desperately dancest and frolickest about the Mouth of the Fiery Lake that thou art a sinking into Upon this the Demoniack was hurled into a long dead Fit whence as he recover'd he cry'd out My Fit returneth next Morning at Seven a Clock And just before the Minister entred on this Nights Work he was told of several Gentlemens coming on purpose to ridicule and discompose him instead of which they at the end thereof openly thank him for the satisfaction and assurance they had thence received of Richard's being actuated by Satan which before they questioned After which the Paper vomited by the Demoniack was unfolded and dryed by the Fire whereon was written much Greek and other Letters or Charracters which none then there understood one sentence whereof was this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 600 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which was put in a Diary for that 600 the Figures therein seem'd to refer to the whole number of days that were to pass betwixt Richard's first trouble and the time when the Lord would plunge him in the Lake of burning as the said paper threatned On the remainder of which Night the Minister lay near a Mile off the Surey with an ingenious Gentleman to whom several Arguments were long urged for proving that Richard's Affliction was thro' Satans possessing him he frequently answering I cannot believe that it is thro' possession Early next Morning whilst the said Gentlemen seem'd to be asleep the Minister little thinking of such Devil Spectators as he afterwards heard of put his Mouth to the Water in a Bason that was on a seat behind a Curtain close by the Beds-head and washt it so as the said Gentleman could scarce have seen thro' the Curtain had he then been awake after which he went privately thence to the Surey to wrastle against Satan in the said Fit before the other said Ministers were to come thither In which Fit Satan burst out into his usual bravadoes saying Dost thou again trouble me after thou hast seen my Commission which thou dost either understand and so thou know'st it is in vain to oppose me or else thou art ignorant and so unfit to deal with me Said the Minister The Commission thou tellest of threatens that the Lord will put him in the burning Lake How couldst thou know this Satan Hast thou lookt into the Book of Life and found Richard's Name even as thine own awanting there Or does the Lord reveal such Secrets to thee Nay surely the Lord never gave thee this Commission which I shall reckon among thy usual vain gloryings unless thou shew how it empowers thee to trouble him here or to get him to Hell And what good would it do thee to get him or others to Hell so as should make thee thus insatiably desire them thither

feel or observe how his Body was sometimes as light or lighter than a Feather and in the same hour as heavy or heavier than Lead and how he seem'd so very lifeless that on diligent tryal no beating of his Pulse nor breathing at his Mouth or Nostrils could be perceived nor any Sense or Motion in him upon their lugging thumping or pinching of him whilst he still retained his natural warmth and freshness and how his Joints were stiff and his Arms and other parts of him inflexible and how a round hard lump of flesh as some thought near the bigness of a Mans Head and as others say about the bigness of a Mans Fist suddenly did roul or was puft up on his Belly or Breast out of which Satan spoke several Noises and Voices as to instance A Stranger wholly unknown at the Surey laying his hand on the said lump these words came out of it Tho' thou be a Doctor of Physick thou canst not help Dicky for none but Doctors of Divinity can do him any good Upon which the said Stranger being askt who he was confest that he was a Physician new come from Holland the said lump being instantly flat again as soon as the said Fit was over Besides the Ministers hoping that Satan could not long withstand them more closely opposed resolved to observe three days in one Week to the said purpose viz. Wednesday Thursday and Friday allotting two of them to observe it of the said days and particularly Mr. Carrington to be one of the two that was to carry on the said Friday work but Mr. Carrington afterwards finding that he could not observe the said Friday came within four Miles of the Surey late on the Tuesday Evening before it that he might assist at the said Wednesday work and get some other in his stead for the said Friday work and tho' the said Minister did thus take up his said Lodgings then utterly unknown to any Mortal at the Surey and quite contrary to all their expectations who never lookt for him till the said Friday yet the Demoniack being in a Fit on the said Tuesday Evening seemed to have two Devils or at least two contrary Voices talking to and opposing of each other in him one Voice in him crying out to the other Hold hold do not vomit up that scroule of paper yet for my Tormentor is coming and is got within four Miles of this place The other answered I value him not I will cast it out now The other reply'd Thou shalt not for Carrington will be here early next Morning and it shall be kept to be cast at him Thus they long wrangled and the said Minister coming to the Surey on the said Wednesday Morning was askt by very many there where he lay that Night which falling out as Satan had before told them they were amazed and he confronting Satan in that Morning Fit Satan vomited up the said Paper at him as was threatned and in a Pit which the Demoniak had in the Night Mr. Waddinton joyn'd with the said Minister in the encountring of Satan who did rage and storm more furiously than ordinarily whilst Mr. Waddington was very awfully mentioning the Tremendous and Dreadful Titles of the Lord To whom be the Kingdom Power and Glory now and evermore Amen On Octob. the 31th Was a Fast-day for him at the Surey The Ministers found that Satan had so tormented him the Night before that the use of his Limbs was taken from him and whilst out of his Fit he continued in great pain and anguish so that before they began the usual work of the day he burst out into impatience saying He resolved that this should be the last prayer day on his behalf and that he would take another course for his help But the Father intreated us with tears to proceed and Richard having been all the time of the Exercise very quiet and somewhat eased and much alarm'd especially by one of the said Ministers who was then more than ordinarily assisted in Prayer he in the close changed his former Language into thanking of the Ministers and wishing them to go on in their usual course for him On Novemb. the 7th Was a Fast-day for him at the Surey he was in much better frame than formerly and carry'd it extream kindly to the said Ministers and in his Fit Satan said I think I have given all the Ministers enough and I have quite tired them all out except Carrington and as for him he shall torment me no more nor shall any of you ever see him again And at the end of his Fit Mr. Carrington offer'd to return home that Night as he usually did when no Fit was foretold to be in the Night after such Surey Meetings and when he return'd so sometimes not eating at the Surey he used to break his Fast with an Apple on the Road to his home which was about 24 Miles from the Surey and as he was getting on Horse-back homewards Richard being out of his Fit full of respect and kindness said He knew not how to express his thankfulness answerable to the said Ministers pains for him desiring him however to accept as a token of his Love an Apple from him which was about the bigness of two ordinary Fists so that he could scarcely get it out of his Pocket Then several very earnestly intreated the said Minister not to go home that Night because Satan had so often threatned to mischieve him and particularly in the last Fit that they should never see him more but he not fearing any of the Devils threatnings was still for going home then till being got about half a Mile from the Surey he was for eating the said Apple but he found on one side of it a hole as if something a little thicker than a Goose-quill had been stuck near an Inch deep into it and at the bottom of it something bubbled and flasht upwards and round about it was a Circle of about a Straws bredth and brown colour and harder to the touch of his Nail than other parts of the Apple and on the other side of the Apple was just such another hole all the other seeming fair and sound excepting the said holes which were almost opposite one to the other and he not conceiving how or why the said holes were made and so not knowing but the Apple might be mischievous if eaten did neither eat it nor throw it away least some other should eat it whence not knowing but that Satan might aim at some harm to him as before was caution'd he staid at a Friends house that N●ght and got about Ten a Clock next Morning into that part of a Common or Forest which was within Ten Miles of his home into which he was misdirected by an Old Woman that he met with on the Road in which Level or Plain place his Mare that was of high mettle and excellent for a Journey did stop and curcled about such a compass of
