she_o he_o have_v do_v he_o have_v kill_v two_o for_o they_o be_v lanquel_v together_o so_o he_o kill_v they_o both_o which_o horse_n be_v kill_v but_o in_o such_o a_o tempest_n as_o be_v suppose_v by_o a_o devil_n in_o thunder_n until_o she_o confess_v it_o of_o herself_o also_o she_o confess_v that_o be_v at_o stephen_n humfries_n in_o thorpe_n aforesaid_a and_o a_o beg_n for_o alm_n he_o

before_o she_o be_v out_o of_o fight_n which_o hog_n die_v according_o likewise_o she_o further_o confess_v that_o she_o be_v angry_a with_o one_o mr._n coppinger_n of_o lavenham_n she_o send_v her_o

of_o denford_n in_o northampuonshire_n who_o suffer_v for_o witchery_n since_o the_o say_a time_n at_o northampton_n confess_v that_o he_o send_v one_o of_o his_o imp_n to_o one_o cock_n cattle_n of_o

to_o be_v equal_a or_o rather_o above_o god_n the_o devil_n take_v advantage_n of_o he_o and_o he_o covenant_v with_o the_o devil_n and_o seal_v it_o with_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v three_o

at_o langarfort_n in_o suffolk_n where_o he_o preach_v as_o he_o walk_v upon_o the_o wall_n or_o work_v there_o he_o see_v a_o great_a sail_n of_o ship_n pass_v by_o and_o that_o as_o they_o be_v sail_v by_o one_o of_o his_o three_o imp_n namely_o his_o yellow_a one_o forthwith_o appear_v to_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v and_o he_o bid_v it_o go_v and_o sink_v such_o a_o

away_o and_o he_o stand_v still_o and_o view_v the_o ship_n on_o the_o sea_n as_o they_o be_v a_o sail_v and_o perceive_v that_o ship_n immediate_o to_o be_v in_o more_o trouble_n and_o danger_n than_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o say_v the_o water_n be_v more_o boisterous_a near_o that_o then_o the_o rest_n tumble_v up_o and_o down_o with_o wave_n as_o if_o water_n have_v be_v boil_a in_o a_o

there_o he_o confess_v he_o make_v fourteen_o widow_n in_o one_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n then_o mr._n hopkin_n as_o he_o tell_v i_o for_o he_o take_v his_o confession_n ask_v he_o if_o it_o do_v not_o grieve_v he_o to_o see_v so_o many_o man_n cast_v away_o in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o so_o many_o poor_a widow_n on_o a_o sudden_a but_o he_o swear_v by_o his_o maker_n no_o he_o be_v joyful_a to_o see_v what_o power_n his_o imp_n have_v and_o so_o likewise_o confess_v many_o other_o mischief_n and_o have_v a_o charm_n to_o keep_v he_o out_o of_o

he_o make_v a_o very_a far_o large_a confession_n which_o i_o have_v hear_v have_v be_v print_v but_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v neither_o of_o mr._n hopkins_n do_v nor_o my_o own_o for_o we_o

add_v to_o this_o one_o henry_n car_n of_o ratlesden_n in_o suffolk_n who_o i_o have_v hear_v be_v a_o scholar_n fit_a for_o cambridge_n if_o not_o a_o cambridge_n scholar_n and_o be_v well_o educate_v yet_o fall_v into_o this_o grievous_a sin_n and_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v two_o imp_n which_o suck_v on_o those_o mark_n i_o find_v upon_o he_o two_o year_n together_o and_o come_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o mouse_n which_o he_o feel_v oft_o and_o say_v they_o be_v hairy_a and_o heavy_a and_o so_o seem_v to_o bewail_v his_o condition_n say_v that_o he_o have_v forsake_v god_n and_o

confess_v all_o and_o make_v all_o other_o know_v he_o know_v of_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o will_v confess_v no_o more_o nor_o do_v yet_o he_o be_v much_o importune_v to_o it_o but_o that_o be_v always_o his_o answer_n and_o be_v arraign_v at_o the_o bar_n three_o or_o four_o time_n and_o yet_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o alarm_n at_o cambridge_n the_o goal_n delivery_n at_o bury_v saint_n edmunds_n be_v adjourn_v for_o about_o three_o week_n and_o he_o die_v in_o the_o goal_n in_o that_o time_n so_o it_o be_v conceive_v to_o be_v pride_n of_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o first_o original_a cause_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o knowledge_n yet_o i_o confess_v he_o fall_v into_o poverty_n before_o his_o death_n but_o as_o for_o that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v seldom_o or_o never_o know_v that_o any_o get_v estate_n or_o thrive_v that_o thus_o give_v themselves_o over_o to_o satan_n but_o rather_o consume_v their_o estate_n if_o they_o have_v any_o yet_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v the_o wicked_a man_n thrive_v as_o well_o as_o the_o godly_a in_o this_o world_n but_o for_o witch_n i_o never_o know_v any_o to_o these_o likewise_o may_v be_v add_v those_o observer_n

say_v if_o those_o which_o look_v to_o they_o be_v careful_a it_o be_v to_o be_v discern_v this_o be_v apparent_a by_o that_o i_o nominate_v at_o huntington_n and_o so_o at_o codman_n in_o suffolk_n be_v tell_v how_o a_o woman_n there_o carry_v herself_o i_o cause_v she_o to_o be_v search_v again_o and_o there_o be_v alteration_n of_o the_o mark_n and_o the_o woman_n present_o confess_v it_o and_o make_v a_o large_a confession_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v common_a in_o all_o our_o proceed_n and_o a_o great_a cause_n for_o keep_v they_o for_o the_o blood_n have_v sometime_o be_v find_v

it_o be_v so_o apparent_a i_o instance_n no_o further_o but_o now_o to_o manifest_v that_o good_a counsel_n will_v do_v it_o and_o so_o likewise_o without_o keep_v for_o i_o hold_v they_o two_o depend_v most_o upon_o one_o then_o say_v i_o that_o upon_o good_a exhortation_n after_o the_o mark_n find_v they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o confession_n either_o by_o keep_v though_o every_o thing_n necessary_a be_v afford_v they_o as_o i_o never_o do_v otherwise_o but_o now_o late_o keep_v none_o or_o not_o above_o one_o night_n till_o we_o go_v thence_o and_o yet_o have_v their_o confession_n witness_v those_o execute_v at_o elie_n a_o little_a before_o michaelmas_n last_o who_o make_v large_a confession_n also_o one_o at_o chatterish_a there_o one_o at_o march_n there_o and_o another_o at_o wimblington_n there_o now_o late_o find_v still_o to_o be_v try_v who_o make_v very_o large_a confession_n especial_o the_o first_o two_o nicholas_n hempstead_n of_o greet_v in_o suffolk_n be_v

after_o herein_o yet_o be_v still_o in_o great_a suspicion_n of_o many_o of_o the_o townsman_n to_o be_v guilty_a the_o brand_n be_v difficult_a to_o find_v if_o she_o have_v notice_n and_o the_o
