the_o truth_n of_o this_o allegation_n mr._n perkins_n do_v not_o deny_v but_o grant_v it_o in_o that_o his_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o say_v a_o bare_a confession_n be_v sufficient_a but_o

and_o sound_a in_o understanding_n but_o after_o they_o be_v once_o in_o the_o league_n their_o reason_n &_o understanding_n may_v be_v deprave_v memory_n weaken_v and_o all_o the_o power_n of_o

the_o examination_n and_o confession_n of_o a_o suspect_a witch_n be_v always_o after_o such_o time_n as_o her_o covenant_n be_v make_v when_o she_o be_v by_o his_o confession_n delude_v and_o not_o fit_a to_o give_v testimony_n against_o herself_o his_o second_o more_o sufficient_a proof_n he_o say_v if_o the_o party_n will_v not_o confess_v as_o common_o it_o fall_v out_o be_v two_o witness_n avouch_v upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n either_o that_o the_o party_n accuse_v have_v make_v league_n with_o the_o devil_n or_o have_v do_v some_o know_a practice_n of_o witchcraft_n or_o have_v

say_v if_o these_o be_v the_o only_a strong_a proof_n for_o the_o conviction_n of_o a_o witch_n it_o will_v be_v then_o impossible_a to_o put_v any_o one_o to_o death_n because_o the_o league_n with_o

of_o a_o witch_n but_o only_o when_o the_o devil_n please_v i_o do_v not_o find_v he_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o satan_n to_o endeavour_v any_o such_o discovery_n neither_o do_v i_o see_v how_o it_o be_v practicable_a by_o the_o devil_n for_o either_o he_o must_v do_v it_o by_o his_o own_o relation_n or_o report_n which_o as_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v he_o ever_o do_v so_o it_o be_v vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o he_o do_v it_o for_o mr._n perkins_n have_v discredit_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o invalid_a and_o of_o no_o force_n for_o conviction_n or_o

be_v and_o not_o have_v leave_v we_o only_o to_o his_o two_o more_o sufficient_a proof_n which_o he_o confess_v be_v not_o infallible_a king_n james_n tell_v we_o 2._o that_o the_o devil_n first_o

though_o mr._n perkins_n tell_v we_o that_o by_o nature_n of_o the_o precontract_n 2._o the_o devil_n be_v cocksure_a of_o his_o instrument_n yet_o within_o a_o few_o line_n he_o change_v his_o note_n
