Hillarius. It would have had better, appearance, if those things were true. But if we should stay our selves upon such dreams and lies, we might also forge an other Hell and Purgatory in Scotland, in which 1men say that there is a hill full of sorrow & very fearful, by ⟨image 33⟩reason of the cries of those that do weep and lament there. And in Thuringia there is a hill in which there are heard 2most horrible noise & cries: And y• hath not only the name to be frequented with Fauns & Satires which are a kind of Devils, which many ways have seduced y• Paynims. But also some do affirm y• they have seen the same by experience. And some writers & Authors accounted for men worthy of credit, have written it.
