明日，諷鏻使巫視英疾，巫言：「入北廟，見英為崇順王所訊，曰：『汝何敢謀反？』 The next day he persuaded Lin to have the sorcerer divine Ying's illness. The sorcerer reported, "In the northern temple I saw Ying questioned by King Chongshun, who demanded, 'How dare you plot rebellion?'

鏻以語文傑，文傑曰：「未可信也，宜問其疾如何。」 Lin told Wenjie what the sorcerer had said. Wenjie replied, "That alone proves nothing. Ask what his illness actually is."
