a_o man_n have_v strike_v i_o with_o a_o dagger_n i_o shall_v not_o have_v bleed_v and_o thus_o have_v we_o philosophical_o dispute_v about_o a_o pin_n somewhat_o too_o much_o the_o second_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o martha_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n be_v that_o there_o appear_v in_o her_o mouth_n a_o certain_a kind_n of_o thin_a foam_n who_o do_v ever_o hear_v any_o speech_n of_o the_o devil_n foam_n if_o it_o be_v so_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v add_v that_o it_o be_v also_o black_a for_o all_o that_o come_v from_o he_o be_v of_o hell_n must_v needs_o be_v black_a yea_o our_o good_a old_a woman_n use_v to_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o white_a at_o all_o in_o his_o eye_n who_o can_v forbear_v laughter_n to_o hear_v that_o a_o woman_n be_v know_v to_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o spirit_n by_o her_o foam_n and_o spittle_n the_o three_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o martha_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o spirit_n be_v because_o she_o have_v certain_a marvelous_a violent_a motion_n without_o any_o alteration_n either_o in_o her_o pulse_n or_o in_o her_o breathe_n or_o in_o her_o colour_n but_o true_o her_o motion_n be_v not_o so_o violent_a but_o that_o certain_a physician_n which_o can_v not_o patient_o abide_v this_o cousinage_n can_v very_o easy_o stay_v she_o and_o so_o will_v have_v do_v upon_o the_o last_o day_n also_o when_o she_o play_v her_o

the_o exorcist_n say_v here_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o martha_n but_o let_v we_o confess_v and_o avow_v that_o these_o her_o motion_n be_v so_o violent_a and_o sudden_a as_o they_o say_v without_o any_o change_n or_o alteration_n in_o her_o pulse_n yet_o this_o signify_v that_o her_o blood_n be_v very_o thick_a and_o earthy_a and_o so_o can_v not_o easy_o be_v kindle_v and_o therefore_o we_o say_v with_o galen_n that_o the_o pulse_n of_o such_o people_n be_v very_o rare_a we_o have_v oftentimes_o see_v sundry_a melancholic_a person_n not_o only_o many_o day_n and_o month_n but_o also_o many_o year_n to_o have_v run_v up_o and_o down_o cry_v very_o strange_o and_o howl_v like_o dog_n without_o any_o change_n either_o in_o pulse_n or_o in_o breathe_v or_o in_o colour_n again_o use_n
