MOTHER SHIPTON INVESTIGATED.

"[Soft Musick and an Angel descends with a Book.]

"Shipton despair not but in hope grow strong,
Thou shalt find Mercy though thou hast done wrong;
Road ore this book and in it thou shalt find
The summe of thy aspire to free thy mind
From fear, thy soul secure from harm
Of any Devils! 'tis a happy charme!"

Pluto enters with "all the Devils," and finding Agatha Shipton released from their power exclaims:—

"Was ever Devil gull'd so
  "Well lets descend and all Hell shall howl
  This full fortnight for losse of Shipton's soul.
         "[Exeunt with horrid Musick].
"Shipton. So let them roare.
  Whilst I do all their Hellish Acts despise
  The higher powers make me truly wise."
