apparent_a and_o have_v a_o clean_a shift_n on_o her_o back_n but_o not_o long_o after_o in_o her_o confession_n among_o other_o thing_n she_o confess_v that_o if_o she_o have_v be_v let_v go_v home_o to_o have_v shift_v herself_o she_o have_v not_o be_v find_v with_o the_o mark_n for_o that_o she_o have_v a_o shift_n so_o dress_v that_o her_o mark_n can_v not_o have_v be_v find_v at_o present_a and_o that_o she_o thereby_o so_o escape_v by_o the_o same_o mean_n the_o former_a search_n yet_o she_o be_v search_v by_o those_o which_o be_v the_o first_o that_o ever_o to_o my_o knowledge_n find_v any_o of_o those_o mark_n and_o so_o confess_v that_o she_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o seal_v it_o with_o her_o blood_n and_o set_v a_o round_a o_o to_o the_o paper_n the_o devil_n bring_v she_o and_o confess_v her_o familiar_n with_o the_o suck_n of_o they_o and_o the_o mischief_n she_o have_v do_v by_o her_o witchcraft_n or_o at_o least_o part_n of_o they_o as_o she_o then_o further_o confess_v and_o suffer_v for_o the_o same_o here_o you_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o diligentness_n of_o search_v be_v a_o great_a matter_n and_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a point_n of_o their_o discovery_n for_o i_o have_v observe_v this_o one_o thing_n in_o my_o proceed_n herein_o that_o if_o all_o their_o mark_n though_o in_o several_a place_n be_v not_o find_v they_o will_v hardly_o confess_v but_o when_o all_o be_v find_v and_o the_o just_a number_n of_o they_o more_o or_o less_o lay_v to_o their_o charge_n according_a as_o they_o have_v it_o be_v a_o great_a inducement_n to_o bring_v they_o to_o confession_n and_o that_o have_v make_v i_o careful_a when_o apparent_a mark_n have_v not_o be_v see_v at_o first_o that_o a_o second_o or_o three_o search_n be_v make_v for_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o concernment_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v fit_v that_o those_o which_o search_v and_o those_o with_o they_o they_o have_v some_o intelligence_n of_o the_o mark_n first_o give_v they_o be_v swear_v before_o search_v that_o diligent_a search_n may_v be_v make_v in_o all_o place_n of_o such_o as_o be_v suspect_v in_o such_o a_o case_n of_o life_n and_o death_n for_o the_o detection_n of_o so_o great_a a_o height_n of_o sin_n and_o implety_n that_o none_o that_o be_v guilty_a may_v escape_v the_o punishment_n due_a according_a to_o their_o desert_n here_o and_o so_o those_o likewise_o that_o wrongful_o go_v under_o that_o aspersion_n be_v free_v thereof_o to_o which_o end_n it_o be_v fit_v that_o such_o as_o do_v it_o may_v be_v such_o as_o know_v what_o belong_v to_o a_o oath_n and_o who_o make_v conscience_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o likewise_o and_o such_o as_o be_v at_o the_o search_n able_a people_n of_o discretion_n and_o good_a carriage_n for_o i_o fear_v that_o money_n have_v sway_v some_o and_o want_v of_o knowledge_n other_o sometime_o the_o flesh_n be_v sink_v in_o a_o hollow_a that_o be_v when_o they_o pull_v they_o off_o and_o pull_v they_o out_o with_o their_o nail_n or_o otherwise_o cause_v they_o to_o be_v pull_v off_o as_o one_o of_o over_n in_o cambridgeshire_n confess_v it_o be_v so_o find_v and_o lay_v to_o her_o charge_n that_o she_o hear_v of_o our_o come_n to_o town_n and_o pluck_v her_o mark_n off_o the_o night_n before_o because_o she_o will_v not_o have_v be_v find_v as_o she_o confess_v before_o a_o justice_n of_o peace_n of_o the_o same_o town_n at_o large_a both_o of_o the_o covenant_n and_o her_o imp_n and_o the_o harm_n she_o do_v both_o to_o he_o and_o other_o by_o her_o imps._n but_o some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v strange_a they_o shall_v know_v when_o they_o shall_v be_v search_v if_o it_o be_v keep_v private_a i_o answer_v let_v it_o be_v keep_v never_o so_o private_a it_o have_v be_v common_a and_o as_o common_a as_o any_o other_o thing_n as_o they_o themselves_o have_v confess_v for_o so_o do_v they_o of_o fenny-drayton_n in_o cambridgeshire_n who_o make_v very_o large_a confession_n as_o that_o the_o devil_n tell_v they_o of_o our_o come_n to_o town_n but_o withal_o tell_v they_o they_o shall_v be_v search_v but_o shall_v not_o be_v find_v wherein_o they_o say_v they_o find_v he_o a_o liar_n and_o so_o they_o say_v they_o do_v in_o his_o promise_v they_o they_o shall_v never_o want_v which_o they_o do_v and_o so_o likewise_o that_o be_v usual_a with_o other_o but_o those_o make_v very_o large_a confession_n also_o sometime_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v discern_v but_o red_a spot_n as_o if_o the_o skin_n be_v perish_v and_o so_o it_o be_v for_o that_o be_v when_o they_o only_o cut_v they_o off_o and_o apply_v no_o medicine_n at_o all_o to_o it_o yet_o the_o blood_n will_v appear_v all_o round_a within_o the_o circle_n as_o afore_o be_v express_v and_o of_o these_o i_o have_v find_v divers_a but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n those_o have_v be_v leave_v for_o a_o second_o search_n or_o a_o three_o as_o occasion_n or_o ground_n sufficient_a require_v and_o of_o these_o though_o i_o have_v find_v divers_a yet_o i_o have_v but_o one_o example_n by_o confession_n and_o that_o be_v of_o one_o clerk_n of_o keyston_n in_o huntingtonshire_n a_o young_a man_n who_o be_v so_o find_v and_o set_v at_o liberty_n expect_v to_o have_v be_v search_v another_o time_n when_o he_o shall_v not_o know_v of_o it_o but_o he_o soon_o after_o confess_v he_o have_v cut_v off_o his_o mark_n say_v they_o be_v fool_n that_o be_v find_v with_o the_o mark_n for_o he_o have_v make_v sure_a he_o can_v not_o be_v find_v with_o they_o for_o he_o have_v cut_v off_o his_o two_o or_o three_o day_n before_o i_o search_v he_o but_o i_o perceive_v the_o blood_n and_o show_v it_o to_o the_o townsman_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o i_o think_v he_o be_v nought_o and_o guilty_a of_o that_o sin_n and_o doubt_v not_o thereof_o but_o will_v not_o take_v oath_n unless_o the_o mark_n have_v be_v apparent_o see_v upon_o he_o now_o some_o will_v say_v notwithstanding_o all_o this_o that_o be_v say_v there_o may_v be_v and_o be_v natural_a mark_n like_o all_o these_o afore_o speak_v of_o i_o answer_v for_o natural_a mark_n as_o i_o conceive_v there_o be_v wen_n of_o divers_a sort_n but_o view_v these_o well_o and_o next_o adjacent_a to_o the_o flesh_n they_o be_v very_o small_a and_o hang_v like_o a_o thread_n but_o from_o thence_o like_o a_o teat_n or_o big_a but_o feel_v of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v fleshy_a and_o will_v not_o extend_v as_o the_o other_o will_v do_v but_o some_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v a_o rent_n and_o so_o a_o piece_n of_o skin_n may_v hang_v i_o answer_v this_o though_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o as_o a_o skin_n yet_o it_o come_v firm_o out_o of_o the_o flesh_n and_o stick_v out_o like_o a_o big_a or_o teat_n and_o not_o hang_v down_o when_o i_o conceive_v rent_n will_v either_o hang_v or_o lie_v flat_a but_o if_o hang_v than_o i_o believe_v a_o scar_n be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o feel_v fleshlike_a beside_o but_o these_o have_v no_o scar_n only_o as_o it_o be_v a_o little_a hole_n on_o the_o top_n where_o the_o blood_n come_v out_o which_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v discern_v for_o i_o have_v nip_v blood_n out_o and_o then_o likewise_o they_o be_v insensible_a when_o the_o other_o be_v not_o but_o i_o confess_v if_o these_o be_v not_o prick_v the_o right_a way_n they_o will_v feel_v it_o likewise_o some_o have_v wart_n but_o i_o answer_v they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o flesh_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o but_o they_o be_v flat_a and_o fleshy_a and_o sensible_a and_o will_v not_o any_o way_n extend_v but_o so_o far_o unlike_o the_o other_o as_o i_o will_v not_o further_o speak_v of_o they_o some_o have_v mole_n it_o be_v truth_n i_o believe_v most_o man_n have_v though_o they_o be_v of_o several_a colour_n but_o those_o be_v flat_a to_o the_o flesh_n always_o which_o be_v nothing_o like_o the_o other_o nor_o will_v extend_v but_o be_v sensible_a but_o some_o will_v say_v it_o may_v be_v like_o the_o brand_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o it_o differ_v as_o well_o in_o colour_n as_o also_o it_o have_v no_o circle_n about_o it_o but_o it_o as_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o skin_n be_v on_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n only_o differ_v sometime_o in_o colour_n but_o not_o like_o the_o other_o and_o be_v sensible_a neither_o for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v any_o of_o the_o mark_n of_o those_o which_o have_v suffer_v be_v find_v where_o there_o be_v either_o wart_n wen_n or_o mole_n or_o common_o rent_n especial_o of_o the_o man_n but_o then_o some_o will_v say_v there_o be_v emrod-mark_n and_o pile_n
