Aubrey Grinset dies, and it is alleged that her death frees Thomas Spatchet from his violent fits and restraint from travel.(27, 28)

A week before Aubrey Grinset's death, Mr. R., a conformist, invites Thomas Spatchet to visit her. When Spatchet tries to get close to her, he is prevented from setting one foot in front of the other, and is forced to make curtseys and similar actions all the way back again.(27)

Mr. R. visits Aubrey Grinset in Thomas Spatchet's place, and tells Spatchet of what transpired after. He alleges that the skin on her hands and arms has been torn, with hardly a finger's breadth spared. She would not confess any witchery to him, but only that she had made an agreement with the Devil, and that it was too later for her to repent of it for she was damned. He asked her what the two cudgels on her bed were for, to which she answered that they were to fight the Devil for his misuse of her. She told him that when she was alone, the Devil would come to her and drag her out of the bed and under it until someone in the house heard the noise and found her bloody.(27-28)

Aubrey Grinset alleges shortly before her death that there are others who have Thomas Spatchet in hand, and thus he would not be entirely free when she died.(28)
