414. THE DIABOLICAL CROWD ARE WILLING TO REMAIN NOWHERE ELSE THAN IN PRIVIES AND SUCH LIKE PLACES It must strike everyone as wonderful that the diabolical crowd are unwilling to remain anywhere else than in privies, which they have sometimes confessed. Indeed they have represented to me that they choose to spend their time in privies where there is human dung; nor would they select any other place, but prefer such to all others. Certain of the spirits were very indignant at this, when nevertheless they had also confessed the same before similar spirits. 1747, Dec. 28.
