And hee further saith, That in Lent last one Iohn Duckworth of the Lawnde, promised this Examinate an old shirt:  and within a fortnight after, this Examinate went to the said Duckworthes house, and demanded the said old shirt:  but the said Duckworth denied him thereof.  And going out of the said house, the said Spirit Dandy appeared vnto this Examinate, and said, Thou didst touch the said Duckworth; whereunto this Examinate answered, he did not touch him:  yes (said the Spirit againe) thou didst touch him, and therfore I haue power of him:  whereupon this Examinate ioyned with the said Spirit, and then wished the said Spirit to kill the said Duckworth:  and within one weeke, then next after, Duckworth died.
