Christians they do acknowledge have a Prerogative above themselves, and not to be under the Power of these infernal Spirits.
[Sometimes the Devil possesses them.] I have many times seen Men and Women of this People strangely possest, insomuch that I could judge it nothing else but the effect of the Devil's power upon them: and they themselves do acknowledge as much.

In the like condition to which I never saw any that did profess to be a worshipper of the Holy Name of JESUS.

They that are thus possest, some of them will run mad into the Woods, screeching and roaring, but do mischief to none; some will be taken so as to be speechless, shaking, and quaking, and dancing, and will tread upon the fire and not be hurt; they will also talk idle, like distracted folk.
This may last sometimes two or three Months, sometimes two or three dayes.

Now their Friends reckoning it to proceed from the Devil, do go to him and promise him a reward if he will cure them.

Sometimes they are cured, and sometimes die.
