Dorcas Coleman allegedly becomes speechless and stuck to a chair when Susanna Edwards comes into her presence. Coleman then slides out of the chair and is unable to get up until Edwards leaves the room.(5-6)

A Falconer (Anonymous 422) who was "very fond of a Book by night," and a Huntsman (Anonymous 423) who was "much devoted to a glass of Liquour," converse, and the Huntsman tells the Falconer that "Falconers used to look upwards and blaspheme." At night, the falconer "betook himself to a certain Book he had got out of the Chaplains Chamber." Having read only some of it, the falconer then say "something come to the side of the Bed, which he could have wisht farther off: the frightful Goblin." The Goblin (Anonymous 172) reminds the falconer of the conversation he had had with the huntsman, where in he was said to be "looking upwards, and Blaspheming," and he goes in a fright to explain what happened to the Huntsman, "but all he could get of his drousy Companion, was only this; Good Devil do not mistake, for that is the Falconer," before the Huntsman fell back to sleep. This left the falconer in a "deep consternation," causing me to seek "some of the Neighbour Lodgers," including the Chaplain (Anonymous 424) whose house he was staying at. The Huntsman began to be "very Troublesome," and the Chaplain discharged him, and advised the Falconer "hereafter to peruse no Books."(196 - 198)
