This, after four solicitations, the examinant promised him to do.

"No matter, I want to hear you describe it," said the examinant.

And further saith, that the black Man (or rather the Devil) did promise this Examinant that no one should discover her.

Being demanded what and who the Gentleman she spake of, was, the said Examinant answered and said, that it was the Devil.
