However, when she gets there, she discovers that "ere she came, a wicked creature set on by the enemies instigation, had been looking after her, and her childe wringing her hands, weeping bitterly, as if she could have torne her flesh from the bones, or haire off her head, saying who was here? what wicked creature had stayd her blessed Angels from her?"(11-12)

Margaret Muschamp allegedly has a conversation with her angels in which they tell her that they will not appear to her for 12 weeks. Bereft, she spends three days describing them to her brothers, sisters and the household. She claims they are "bodyed like Birds, as big as Turkies, and faces like Christians, but the sweetest creatures that ever eyes beheld," and insists that if the Justices and Judges of the Assizes won't do give her justice for her torments, her angels will "appear like a man and a woman, and justifie the truth." Before they depart, her angels allegedly tell her to avoid being frightened or angered for the 12 weeks, or they won't reappear, and that in the mean time her every third fit would be a terrible one.(11-12)
