A certain thing appeared in the likeness of fire in 

 many parts of England, now of one fashion, now of 

 another, as it were every night, but yet in divers places all 

 November and December. This fiery apparition often- 

 times when anybody went alone it would go with him, 

 and would stand still when he stood still. To some it 

 appeared in the likeness of a turning wheel burning ; to 

 other some round in the likeness of a barrel, flashing out 

 flames of fire at the head ; to other some in the likeness 

 of a long burning lance ; and so to divers folks, at divers 

 times and seasons, it showed itself in divers forms and 

 fashions a great part of winter, specially in Leicestershire 

 and Northamptonshire ; and when many went together it 

 approached not near them, but appeared to them as it 

 were afar off (ffoli?ished).
