The OEB currently reads,

"The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him."

"Fit" in the sense of spasm, seizure, or convulsions seems both old fashioned and potentially ambiguous. I recommend replacing it with seizure:

"The foul spirit threw the man into a seizure, and with a loud cry came out from him."
