K. sate discoursing of the Noble Polonian Albertus Lases his great honour here with us obteined, his great good liking of all States of the people, of them that either see him or hear of him, and again how much I was beholding to God that his heart should so fervently favour me, and that he doth so much strive to suppresse and confound the malice and envie of my Country-men against me, for my better credit winning or recovering to do God better service hereafter thereby; &c. Suddenly, there seemed to come out of my Oratory a Spirituall creature, like a pretty girle of 7 or 9 yeares of age, attired on her head with her hair rowled up before, and hanging down very long behind, with a gown of Sey, . . . . .changeable green and red, and with a train she seemed to play up and down. . . . . . . . . . Green and red, like, and seemed to go in and out behind my books, lying on heaps, the biggest . . . . . . . . . .and as she should ever go between them, the books seemed to give place sufficiently, dis. . . . one heap from the other, while the passed between them: And so I contidered, and . . . . . . . . . . the diverse reports which E.

Δ.
She went up and down with most lively gestures of a young girle, playing by her selfe, and diverse times another spake to her from the corner of my study by a great Perspective-glasse, but none was seen beside her selfe.
. . . . . . . . . . Shall I? I will (Now she seemed to answer one in the foresaid Corner of the Study)
. . . . . . . . . . I pray you let me. tarry a little [speaking to one in the foresaid Corner]
