I have often wondered how it was possible for all that Trumpery to be conveyed into ⟨p. 78⟩her Body, which at Intervals, she cast up. I therefore made all the Observation I could to satisfy my self and others. I found that those things which she brought up in the Morning, were conveyed into her Body by some Diabolical Power, when she was in Bed at Night. What induced me easily to believe this, was, by considering these following Circumstances.

1. That it was only in the Morning, that she Vomited up Nails, &c. and scarce did any thing in the Afternoon.
2. I found by Enquiry, that she always slept with her Mouth open, and could not help it, and when asleep, she could not be awakened either by calling, jogging or pulling of her, for some considerable time; though at the same time, she fetched such deep and painful Groans, as if she were awaked, and sensible of her sad Condition.
