“There was a man there long. He sold himself to the devil for two hundred pounds.”
There was a man there long. He sold himself to the devil for two hundred pounds. The devil was to come after twelve years. The man went to the priest for help but the parish priest wouldn't do anything. He went to the curate and the curate said he would do all he could.
The priest carried him out in the field and carried the chalice. The devil came and the priest threw holy water on him and he went again. He came the second time and the priest made the Sign of the Cross and the devil went again.
He came the third time and took the man by the head and the priest threw the Chalice and the devil left the man fall. He was knocked from being a priest for eight years on account of throwing the Chalice. Even before he went out to the field the Bishop told him not to throw it and he did. The priest was killed after in the place where the devil left the man fall riding a horse. - Informant
