to_o hire_v they_o nor_o to_o send_v they_o to_o hurt_v either_o man_n or_o beast_n but_o i_o see_v my_o own_o folly_n and_o that_o only_o god_n give_v the_o power_n unto_o the_o devil_n to_o

work_n to_o put_v all_o suspect_v to_o death_n though_o some_o of_o they_o be_v innocent_a that_o so_o sure_a work_n may_v be_v make_v to_o have_v not_o one_o leave_v dan._n do_v you_o not_o think_v

one_o witch_n which_o may_v kill_v and_o destroy_v many_o dan._n then_o i_o perceive_v that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o do_v persuade_v you_o that_o it_o be_v very_o good_a to_o put_v all_o to_o death_n that_o be_v suspect_v although_o it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v innocent_a to_o avoid_v great_a inconvenience_n and_o that_o be_v if_o some_o few_o witch_n shall_v

but_o be_v you_o still_o of_o that_o mind_n m._n b._n no_o very_o for_o you_o have_v put_v i_o in_o mind_n that_o the_o wicked_a spirit_n receive_v their_o power_n to_o plague_v both_o man_n and_o

the_o just_a by_o he_o as_o he_o do_v in_o job_n he_o send_v he_o if_o he_o will_v be_v send_v by_o a_o witch_n it_o be_v but_o under_o a_o colour_n she_o give_v he_o not_o the_o power_n he_o will_v touch_v though_o she_o be_v not_o where_o god_n will_v strike_v and_o plague_v the_o wicked_a by_o he_o he_o give_v he_o leave_v it_o be_v not_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o witch_n that_o bring_v it_o but_o their_o own_o wickedness_n whereby_o they_o have_v provoke_v god_n to_o displeasure_n and_o so_o give_v this_o enemy_n power_n over_o they_o dan._n then_o so_o long_o as_o these_o two_o thing_n stand_v that_o god_n by_o satan_n will_v afflict_v in_o some_o sort_n and_o try_v his_o child_n as_o you_o allege_v he_o do_v job_n and_o that_o he_o will_v use_v he_o as_o his_o executioner_n to_o plague_v and_o torment_v the_o wicked_a as_o he_o send_v a_o evil_a spirit_n to_o vex_v king_n saul_n so_o long_o the_o harm_n do_v by_o wicked_a spirit_n shall_v not_o cease_v although_o all_o the_o

of_o force_n more_o than_o about_o theéue_v or_o murderer_n the_o first_o because_o their_o deal_n be_v secret_a the_o other_o because_o the_o devil_n will_v not_o let_v they_o confess_v indeed_o man_n imagine_v that_o witch_n do_v work_v strange_a mischief_n burn_v in_o desire_n to_o have_v they_o hang_v as_o hope_v the●_n to_o be_v freé_v and_o then_o upon_o such_o persuasion_n as_o you_o mention_v they_o suppose_v it_o be_v a_o very_a good_a work_n to_o put_v to_o death_n all_o which_o be_v suspect_v but_o touch_v thief_n and_o murderer_n let_v man_n take_v heed_n how_o they_o deal_v upon_o presumption_n unless_o they_o be_v very_o strong_a for_o we_o see_v that_o jury_n sometime_o do_v condemn_v such_o as_o be_v guiltless_a which_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n especial_o be_v upon_o their_o oath_n and_o in_o witch_n above_o all_o other_o the_o proof_n have_v neéd_v to_o be_v strong_a because_o there_o be_v great_a sleight_n of_o satan_n to_o pursue_v the_o guiltless_a unto_o

they_o be_v all_o hang_v up_o one_o against_o another_o we_o shall_v not_o i_o hope_v stand_v in_o such_o fear_n of_o their_o spirit_n but_o i_o interrupt_v you_o too_o the_o wife_n they_o that_o

that_o witch_n do_v set_v on_o the_o devil_n to_o kill_v his_o child_n and_o to_o plague_v his_o body_n and_o i_o hold_v it_o no_o small_a folly_n for_o any_o man_n to_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n
