“Bless me' quoth I (crossing myself) 'what spectacle have we here?' 'This' (said the good Father who was to do the Feat) 'is a man that's possest with an Evil Spirit.' 'That's a damn'd lye' (with respect of the Company, cryed the Devil that tormented him) 'for this is not a man possest with a Devil, but a Devil possest with a man. ... You are to understand that we Devils never enter into the body of a Catchpole, but by force, and inspight of our hearts; and therefore to speak properly, you are to say, this is a Devil Catchpol'd, and not a Catchpole bedevil'd.”
