Then after came in the said Terry again & examined him after his old manner, and said,1 he would garre devils to come forth of him ere even. To whom he answered: you should be a godly man to give me rather consolation in my case. When I knew you were come, I prayed God I might resist your temptations, which I thank him, he hath made me able to do: therefore I pray you let me alone in peace. Then he asked of one of the Officers that stood by, is your fire making ready? Who told him it was. He answered, as it pleaseth God: I am ready soon or late as it shall please him: & then he spake to one faithful in that company, & bad him commend him to all the faithful, being sure to meet together with them in heaven. From that time to his forth coming to the fire, spake no man with him.
