and_o so_o to_o get_v from_o i_o she_o be_v marvellous_a strong_a yet_o i_o hold_v fast_o and_o desire_v her_o father_n who_o be_v by_o i_o all_o the_o while_o i_o be_v about_o it_o to_o help_v i_o

notwithstanding_o as_o yet_o the_o devil_n will_v not_o come_v forth_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o find_v that_o all_o devil_n or_o evil_a spirit_n when_o once_o they_o be_v get_v into_o the_o possession_n of_o any_o one_o will_v be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o come_v forth_o of_o their_o habitation_n more_o especial_o when_o they_o have_v be_v long_o settle_v in_o the_o body_n i_o often_o give_v the_o

happen_v constant_o in_o the_o time_n of_o her_o fit_n there_o be_v always_o bring_v unto_o she_o three_o pin_n and_o but_o one_o at_o a_o time_n at_o the_o receipt_n thereof_o she_o seem_v to_o

her_o fit_n usual_o begin_v about_o five_o a_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o last_v four_o hour_n during_o which_o time_n she_o will_v not_o utter_v one_o word_n but_o will_v sometime_o leap_v

now_o the_o way_n which_o i_o use_v to_o cast_v forth_o this_o dumb_a spirit_n be_v as_o follow_v in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o room_n be_v make_v so_o close_o as_o i_o can_v with_o conveniency_n i_o make_v a_o fume_n of_o such_o solary_a ingredient_n as_o be_v before_o express_v which_o fume_n i_o continue_v all_o the_o time_n i_o be_v in_o this_o action_n the_o time_n which_o i_o take_v to_o cast_v forth_o this_o dumb_a spirit_n or_o devil_n be_v between_o the_o hour_n of_o nine_o and_o twelve_o a_o clock_n upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o prayer_n which_o i_o use_v be_v according_a

and_o never_o have_v any_o more_o fit_n after_o the_o three_o sabath_n day_n before_o mention_v note_v that_o dumb_a spirit_n be_v far_o more_o difficult_a to_o be_v cast_v forth_o than_o those_o which_o speak_v and_o that_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n why_o i_o take_v the_o benefit_n of_o those_o hour_n upon_o each_o sabbath_n day_n it_o be_v the_o usual_a hour_n of_o prayer_n in_o all_o
