For as the humor of Melancholie in the selfe is blacke, heavie and terrene, so are the symptomes thereof, in any personses that are subject thereunto, leannes, palenes, desire of solitude: and if they come to the highest degree thereof, mere folie and manie: where as by the contrarie, a great nomber of them thatever have bene convict or confessors of Witchcraft, as may be presently seene by manie that have at this time confessed: they are by the contrarie, I say, some of them rich and worldly-wise, some of them fatte or corpulent in their bodies, and most part of them altogether given over to the pleasures of the flesh, continual haunting of companie, and all kind of merrines, both lawfull and unlawfull, which are thinges directly contrary to the symptomes of Melancholie, whereof I spake, and further experience daylie proves how loath they are to confesse without torture, which witnesseth their guiltines, where by the contrary, the Melancholicques never spares to bewray themselves, by their continuall discourses, feeding therby their humor in that which they thinke no crime. As to your third reason, it scarelie merites an answere. For if the devill their master were not bridled, as the scriptures teacheth us, suppose there were no men nor women to be his instrumentes, he could finde waies inough without anie helpe of others to wrack al mankinde...

...it was some good spirite that appeared to them then, ether to forewarne them of the death of their friend; or else to discover unto them, the will of the defunct, or what was the say of his slauchter, as is written in the booke of the histories Prodigious. And this way hee easelie deceived the Gentiles, because they knew not God: And to that same effect is it, that he now appeares in that maner tosome ignorant Christians. For he dare not so illude anie that knoweth that, neither can the spirite of the defunct returne to his friend, or yet an Angell use such formes...

...I must nowe goe backe againe in speering some questiones of everie one of these kindes in speciall. And first for these that followes certaine persones, yee know that there are two sortes of them: One sorte that troubles and tormentes the persones that they haunt with: An other sort that are serviceable unto them in all kinde of their necessaries, and omittes never to forwarne them of anie suddaine perrell that they are to be in. And so in this case, I would understande whither both these sortes be but wicked and damned spirites...

new pic and annoying neighbors

Apparently some things went on in my neighborhood while I was at work today. My two neighbors who are fighting day and night (married obviously) apparently went off the deep end and someone ended up being "killed". I'm not trying to be a jerk, but really. The woman's husband walked out of the room after the fight, and walked down the street toward my house, I imagine to cool off. She came back, and there was blood all over the house. He wasn't there either. Maybe she finally decided to hand his behind to him on a plate and he realized it wasn't meant to be.

SO, even though I was at work all day, I was still brought in for questioning.

The police asked me a load of questions, including if I was sexually active with this woman. If I was with that woman, I wouldn't be active in ANY physical or social aspects of life.

To top it off, they made me write a phrase on a piece of paper 5 times:

Tick Tock Tick Tock my darlings

What the hell? Tick Tock is right! I asked the detective if he had anything better to do. Honestly, the guy isn't there, and they can't declare him legally missing when it's been less than 24 hours.

Anyways, here's the photo I said I would post, and I apologize for posting in such a rotten mood.

I still haven't found anything out about the title, other than its appearance on the "book list" and one of the loose pages I have from an old manuscript.
