Another of such purgatory props
Heare how it from the same mans lips out drops.
He being dead in Scotland his Soule
Is had by Angells to the heavenly pole,
And there is kept all night and back its sent,
And in the body once again is pent,
And after this when dead the Angells led
Him up to heaven, as he thither fled
The Divell did him way lay then with whom
After a mighty long brush he's ore come
Because he had a certain Vile mans Vest,
And back the second time he's also presst.
Into the body, there to satisfy
Among the living for's iniquity.
