The Boy promiseth when his fit is over, that the will live and die a Catholic, persuading his parents and friends, &c. On this manner three Priests one after another followed the cure, still succeeding, but yet not curing him, that they might draw the Country to a longer observance of them, (and preached to them in the house) and that the Miracle ⟨p. 187⟩might be the more famous. For forsooth there were many Devils in him, they said, to be cast out. And it stopped the cure, because the Mother would not promise them to turn Papist if they cured him. But in the mean time the supposed Witch is brought to trial at Stafford Assizes, 1620. before Judge Warburton and Judge Davies: But in the end the Judges desired Bishop Morton then present to take care of the Boy: who took him home to his Castle at Eccleshall, and after certain weeks time (the Bishop being abroad) the said Bishop comes to the Boy, and tells him that he understood that he could not endure the first verse of John, and saith he, the Devil understandeth Greek as well as English, being a Scholar of almost six thousand years standing, and therefore he knows when I recite that verse in Greek: And so calling for a Greek Testament, he read the 12. verse; and the Boy thinking it had been the first, fell into his fit: And when that fit was over, the Bishop read the first verse, and then the Boy had no fit, thinking it had been some other verse. And thus they proved him a deceiver, and the Boy was much confounded, but pretended more distraction; and then that he might get away, he complained of extreme sickness, and made water in the Urinal, as black as ink, groaning when he made it: But the third day after, they espied him mixing ink with his Urine, and nimbly conveying away the Inkhorn. And when they came in upon him, and found him in the conveyance, he broke out into tears, and was suddenly cured, and confessed all, how he had been taught his art, and how he did all, and confessed that his intent was to be cured by a Priest, and to turn Papist (and whether they have catched him again or no, I know not; for I hear he is a Quaker in Bristol, or at least a reviler of the Ministry) The Bishop took his examination at large, Octob. 8. & 13. 1620.
