The wonder of Suffolke: being a true relation of one that reports he made a league with the devil, for three years, to do mischiet; and now breaks pen houses, robs people daily, destroys cattle before the owners' taces, strips women naked, &e. and can neither be shot nor t ken, but leaps over walls 15 feet high, runs five or six miles in a quarter of an hour, and sometimes vanishes in the midst of multitudes that go to take him.

Sir Thomas Brown who wrote against vulgar errors, is here said to have declared in court, he was clearly of opinion, that the fits of the plaintiffs were natural, but heightened by the devil co operating with the mal ce of the witches, at whose instance he did the villanies.'
