Anonymous 110 | An evil spirit familiar which is allegedly the Devil, who possesses Richard Dugdale during his final fit on March 24, 1690, and takes his leave of him, "it left him with a strange kind of vomiting, yet nothing visible appearing." After this fit, the evil spirit is gone, and Richard Dugdales no longer suffers from fits. | The Lord was Pleased to give some visible Encouragement, as to a good issue of this Affair in some sort: For upon the 24th of March, he had a most terrible Fit, and therein the Evil Spirit took it's leave of him: As it's said by several witnesses, it left him with a strange kind of vomiting, yet nothing visible appearing. After that time he told me, he did not find that manner of working in his Body, as heretofore: So that he hoped he was deliver'd. [...] He hath been altogether freed for many Weeks (no Years)
