 Haddock, and you may call me to mind by this Token; That about five Years ago, I and two other Friends were at your Father's House, and you, by your Father's appointment, brought us some Nuts, and therefore be not afraid, says the Apparition. Whereupon Taverner remembring the circumstances, thought it might be Haddock; and those two who passed by before him, he thought to be his two Friends with him, when he gave them Nuts, and couragiously askt him why he appeared to him rather than any other. He answered, Because he was a Man of more resolution than others; and if he would ride his way with him, he would acquaint him with a Business he had to deliver him. Which Taverner refused to do, and would go his own way, (for they were now at a Quadrival) and so rode on homewards.

She replied, there was another Elenor Welsh besides her. Hereupon Taverner returned without delivering his Message. The same Night, being fast asleep in his Bed, (for the former Apparitions were as he sate by the Fire with his Wife) by something pressing upon him he
