Intercourse with the Devil tale in Cromwell era pamphlet
A letter to the Daily Courant endorses Archdeacon Eckard’s pamphlet 4 New Survey of England and recounts a Raleigh era claim that Cromwell believed he had a league with the Devil. It cites Lindsey and Thorogood, notes spies, prophecy timing, and the contested authenticity of the common-place book with detailed conjectures about Cromwell’s fears and the Worcester context.
