Glass-vial full of holy Water and set it upon a linnen cloth which hath been purified not only by washing but by sacrifice c. On the mouth of the Vial or Urinal two Olive-leaves must be laid across with a little Conjuration said over it by a child to wit thus Angele bone Angele candide per tuam sanctitatem meamque virginitatem ostende mihi furem with three Pater nosters three Aves and betwixt either of them a Cross made with the nail of the Thumb upon the mouth of the Vial and then shall be seen Angels ascending and descending as it were Motes in the Sun-beams The Thief all this while shall suffer great torments and his Face shall be seen plainly even as plainly I believe as the Man in the Moon For in truth there are toyes artificially conveyed into glass which will make the water bubble and devices to make Images appear in the bubbles as also there be Artificial Glasses which will shew unto you that shall look thereinto many Images of divers Forms and some so small and curious as they shall in favour resemble whomsoever you think upon Look in John Bap. Neap. for the confection of such glasses The subtilties hereof are so detected and the mysteries of the glasses so common now and their cosenage so well known c. that I need not stand upon the particular confutation hereof Cardanus in the place before cited reporteth how he tried with children these and divers circumstances the whole illusion and found it to be plain knavery and cosenage Another way to find out a Thief that hath stoln any thing from you GO to the Sea-side and gather as many pebles as you suspect persons for that matter carry them home and throw them into the fire and bury them under the threshold where the parties are like to come over There let them lie three days and then before sun-rising take them away Then set a Porrenger full of water in a circle wherein must be made crosses every way as many as can stand in it upon the which must be written Christ overcometh Christ reigneth Christ commandeth The Porrenger also must be signed with a Cross and a form of Conjuration must be pronounced Then each stone must be thrown into the water in the name of the suspected And when you put in the stone of him that is guilty the stone will make the water boil as though glowing iron were put thereinto Which is a meer knack of legierdemain and to be accomplished divers wayes To put out the Thiefs eye REad the seven Psalms with the Letany and then must be said a horrible prayer to Christ and God the Father with a curse against the Thief Then in the midst of the step of your foot on the ground where you stand make a circle like an eye and write thereabout certain barbarous names and drive with a Coopers Hammer or Addes into the midst thereof a brazen nail consecrated saying Justus es Domine justa judicia tua Then the Thief shall be bewrayed by his crying out Another way to find out a Thief STick a pair of Sheers in the rind of a Sieve and let two persons set the top of each of their Forefingers upon the upper part of the Sheers holding it with the Sieve up from the ground steadily and ask Peter and Paul whether A. B. or C. hath stoln the thing lost and at the nomination of the guilty person the Sieve will turn round This is a great practice in all Countries and indeed a very bable For with the beating of the pulse some cause of that motion ariseth some other cause by the slight of the fingers some other by the wind gathered in the Sieve to be staid c. at the pleasure of the holders Some cause may be the imagination which upon the conceit at the naming of the party altereth the common course of the pulse as may well be conceived by a Ring held steadily by a thred betwixt the finger and the thumb over or rather in a goblet or glass which within short space will strike against the side thereof so many strokes as the holder thinketh it a clock and then will stay the which who so proveth shall find true A Charm to find out or spoil a Thief OF this matter concerning the apprehension of Thieves by words I will cite one Charm called S. Adelberts curse being both for length of words sufficient to weary the Reader and for substantial stuff comprehending all that appertaineth unto blasphemous speech or cursing allowed in the Church of Rome as an Excommunication and Inchantment Saint Adelberts Curse or Charm against Thieves BY the Authority of the Omnipotent Father the Son and the Holy Ghost and by the holy Virgin Mary Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ and the holy Angels and Archangels and S.

Adelbert and all the Confessors nd S. Alegand and all the holy Virgins and of all the Saints in Heaven and Earth unto whom there is given power to bind and loose we do excommunicate damn curse and bind with the knots and bands of Excommunication and we do segregate from the bounds and lists of our holy Mother the Church all those Thieves Sacrilegious persons ravenous Catchers Doers Counsellers Coadjutors male or female that have committed this theft or mischief or have usurped any part thereof to their own use Let their share be with Dathan and Abiran whom the Earth swallowed up for their sins and pride and let them have part with Judas that betrayed Christ Amen and with Pontius Pilat and with them that said to the Lord Depart from us we will not understand thy wayes let their Children be made Orphans Cursed be they in the Field in the Grove in the Woods in their Houses Barns Chambers and Beds and cursed be they in the Court in the Way in the Town in the Castle in the Water in the Church in the Churchyard in the Tribunal-place in Battel in their Abode in the Market-place in their Talk in Silence in Eating in Watching in Sleeping in Drinking in Feeling in Sitting in Kneeling in Standing in Lying in Idleness in all their Work in their Body and Soul in their five Wits and in every Place Cursed be the fruit of their Wombs and cursed be the fruit of their Lands and cursed be all that they have Cursed be their Heads their Mouths their Nostrils their Noses their Lips their Jaws their Teeth their Eyes and Eye-lids their Brains the roof of their Mouths their Tongues their Throats their Breast their Hearts Bellies their Livers all their Bowels and their Stomach Cursed be their Navels their Spleens their Bladder Cursed be their Thighs their Legs their Feet their Toes their Necks their Shoulders Cursed be their Backs cursed be their Arms

This terrible curse with Bell Book and Candle added thereunto must needs work wonders howbeit among Thieves it is not much weighed among wise and true men it is not well liked to them that are robbed it bringeth small relief the Priests stomach may well be eased but the goods stoln will never the sooner be restored Hereby is bewrayed both the malice and folly of Popish Doctrin whose uncharitable impiety is so impudently published and in such order uttered as every sentence if opportunity served might be proved both heretical and diabolical But I will answer this cruel curse with another curse far more mild and civil performed by as honest a man I dare say as he that made the other whereof mention was lately made So it was that a certain Sir John with some of his company once went abroad a jetting and in a Moon-light Evening robbed a Millers Weir and stole all his Eels The poor Miller made his moan to Sir John himself who willed him to be quiet for he would so curse the Thief and all his Confederates with Bell Book and Candle that they should have small joy of their Fish And therefore the next Sunday Sir John got him to the Pulpit with his Surplice on his back and his Stole about his neck and pronounced these words following in the audience of the people All you that have stoln the Millers Eeles Laudate Dominum de Coelis And all they have consented thereto Benedicamus Domino Lo saith he there is sauce for your Eeles my Masters Another Inchantment CErtain Priests use the hundred and eighth Psalm as an Inchantment or Charm or at leastwise saying that against whomsoever they pronounce it they cannot live one whole year at the uttermost CHAP.
