John Barrow takes his bewitched son (James Barrow) to St. James to meet a gentleman (Anonymous 146) who can possibly heal him. The gentleman (Anonymous 146) brings James Barrow into the Queens Chapel; calls for a pot of holy water, ribbon, brimstone (sulphur), and a candle; and ties the ribbon three times around James Barrows neck while speaking in Latin. During this process James Barrow roars and stomps his feet. (9-10)

John Barrow is told that if he makes his son (James Barrow) a Catholic, then his sons bewitchment and possession will stop. John Barrow believes this is foolish and refuses to convert his son.(10)

James Barrow is told by a group of friars (St. James Friars) to pray to St. James in order to cure himself of his possession. John Barrow does not believe this cure is in accordance with scripture, and therefore asks the friars if they would keep to scripture when curing his son (James Barrow). When the friars do not listen, John Barrow ceases the prayers. (10)

The Merideth Children of Bristol suffer from a series of terrifying fits and torments. They would cry, creep, fling about, hang on the walls, fall down, contort their bodies, rest at night, and repeat their fits the next day.(167-169)

One of the Merideth Daughters (Merideth daughter) prophesies her imminent death, her blissful afterlife, and the happy and "also several things which should speedily befal her Father, and Family; but nothing of it ever came to pass."(167-169)

One of the Merideth Children of Bristol (Merideth daughter 2) vomits pins (a classic sign of possession). (167-169)

The Merideth Children of Bristol are treated "by the advice of the Ablest Doctors in the City." They recover in May (of 1632?) approximately five months after their torments began in January, and "they did not appear the least weakened by them."(167-169)

The shoe-maker, Peter Pain, living in the city of Bristol, "was extreamly disturbed with most surprizing and unaccountable noises for some time." One night, around midnight, "the usual noise was accompanied with so great a light through the whole House, as if every Room had been full of burning Tapers, or Torches."(164-165)

Peter Pain, a shoemaker from Bristol, turned to Mr. Toogood, the minister, to visit his house, which was troubled by "unaccountable noises," and one night, "so great a light through the whole House, as if every Room had been full of burning Tapers, or Torches." As soon as Mr. Toogood entered the house, "he became an Ear-witness of the most dreadful and accustomed noises." The minister goes to a chamber, where at one end lay "a large bulky Trunk," that was so heavy, "four or five men were not able to lift it." Here, the minister prayed, during which time, "the noise continued" when suddenly "something was flung against the Chamber door, with extraordinary violence." When the prayer had ended, the minister could not open the chamber door. The neighbours had to be called, and they found "the door barr'd close with the great Trunk aforesaid." It was concluded that the trunk was "cast there in that violent manner, when they heard that mighty shock against the door." However, after this, the noise ceased, and came no more.(165-166)
