Humf. Sirrha, or you must fight, or else be hang'd

King. Away with them to Prison: and the day of

Combat, shall be the last of the next moneth. Come

Somerset, wee'le see thee sent away.

Flourish. Exeunt.

Enter the Witch, the two Priests, and Bullingbrooke.

Hume. Come my Masters, the Duchesse I tell you expects

performance of your promises

Bulling. Master Hume, we are therefore prouided: will

her Ladyship behold and heare our Exorcismes?

Hume. I, what else? feare you not her courage

Bulling. I haue heard her reported to be a Woman of

an inuincible spirit: but it shall be conuenient, Master

Hume, that you be by her aloft, while wee be busie below;

and so I pray you goe in Gods Name, and leaue vs.

Exit Hume.

Mother Iordan, be you prostrate, and grouell on the

Earth; Iohn Southwell reade you, and let vs to our worke.

Enter Elianor aloft.

Elianor. Well said my Masters, and welcome all: To

this geere, the sooner the better

Bullin. Patience, good Lady, Wizards know their times:

Deepe Night, darke Night, the silent of the Night,

The time of Night when Troy was set on fire,

The time when Screech-owles cry, and Bandogs howle,

And Spirits walke, and Ghosts breake vp their Graues;

That time best fits the worke we haue in hand.

Madame, sit you, and feare not: whom wee rayse,

Wee will make fast within a hallow'd Verge.

Here doe the Ceremonies belonging, and make the Circle,

Bullingbrooke or

Southwell reades, Coniuro te, &c. It Thunders and Lightens

terribly: then

the Spirit riseth.
