There were some, which were not tormented with one wicked spirit only, but with many, some likewise were possessed and tormented with the Devil from their childhood, and youth: some other in their age, some also there were, which were not only in great fury and rage, by reason of the Devils which possessed them, but also were both blind, deaf, and dumb.
