when_o by_o sympathy_n it_o shall_v reflect_v upon_o the_o man_n or_o beast_n who_o they_o intend_v to_o hurt_v or_o destroy_v it_o be_v do_v by_o thorn_n pin_n or_o needle_n prick_v into_o that_o

as_o she_o conceive_v because_o a_o old_a woman_n suspect_v for_o a_o witch_n be_v at_o that_o time_n deny_v whey_n who_o go_v mutter_v away_o discontent_v the_o next_o day_n my_o father_n come_v with_o one_o of_o his_o brother_n name_v john_n blagrave_n a_o man_n of_o great_a knowledge_n in_o astrology_n and_o philosophy_n as_o appear_v by_o his_o many_o work_n in_o print_n now_o my_o

concern_v the_o woman_n suspect_v now_o my_o father_n brother_n aforesaid_a be_v desirous_a to_o make_v further_a trial_n hereof_o go_v into_o the_o house_n and_o cause_v the_o whey_n to_o be_v hang_v

the_o kettle_n round_o about_o and_o wrest_v it_o very_o hard_a and_o then_o cause_v the_o kettle_n with_o whey_n to_o be_v set_v over_o the_o fire_n again_o and_o have_v heat_n the_o wedge_n red_a hot_a put_v he_o into_o the_o whey_n and_o immediate_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o curd_n rise_v up_o after_o which_o my_o uncle_n send_v a_o messenger_n to_o the_o suspect_a witch_n house_n to_o know_v how_o she_o do_v who_o bring_v word_n that_o after_o much_o knock_n at_o length_n she_o open_v the_o door_n where_o he_o find_v the_o witch_n or_o suspect_a person_n shrink_v up_o like_o a_o purse_n or_o leather_n put_v into_o the_o fire_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o part_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n of_o the_o witch_n be_v infuse_v into_o the_o whey_n for_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o have_v wrought_v so_o violent_o upon_o she_o for_o shall_v the_o poisonous_a matter_n or_o thing_n be_v give_v or_o use_v alone_o without_o some_o blood_n or_o vital_a spirit_n of_o the_o witch_n mingle_v with_o it_o the_o burn_a of_o the_o patient_n blood_n or_o urine_n will_v not_o hurt_v they_o or_o the_o put_v this_o red_a hot_a wedg_n into_o the_o whey_n can_v no_o way_n have_v afflict_v she_o which_o it_o do_v by_o sympathy_n as_o appear_v by_o her_o body_n be_v shrink_v up_o as_o aforesaid_a the_o true_a way_n to_o cure_v both_o witchcraft_n and_o sorcery_n according_a unto_o the_o author_n experience_n and_o practice_n the_o cure_n of_o such_o who_o be_v bewitch_v be_v not_o do_v only_o by_o such_o who_o be_v call_v white_a witch_n as_o many_o foolish_a do_v imagine_v for_o the_o white_a witch_n and_o the_o black_a witch_n be_v all_o one_o as_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o express_v they_o be_v but_o confederate_a witch_n the_o one_o witch_n by_o thorn_n pin_n or_o needle_n prick_v into_o the_o image_n through_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o devil_n cause_v the_o infirmity_n pain_n or_o lameness_n the_o other_o witch_n give_v forth_o that_o she_o can_v cure_v and_o so_o when_o the_o friend_n of_o the_o bewitch_v come_v unto_o the_o white_a witch_n or_o cunning_a woman_n they_o divide_v the_o gain_n and_o the_o cure_n be_v quick_o do_v it_o be_v but_o pull_v forth_o the_o thorn_n pin_n or_o needle_n and_o the_o patient_n be_v cure_v and_o i_o have_v be_v credible_o inform_v by_o some_o who_o have_v go_v to_o these_o cunning_a woman_n or_o white_a witch_n that_o their_o cattle_n or_o the_o patient_a afflict_a have_v be_v perfect_o well_o before_o they_o have_v get_v home_o but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o declare_v after_o either_o man_n or_o beast_n have_v be_v bewitch_v above_o month_n they_o can_v cure_v they_o especial_o if_o the_o pain_n continue_v in_o one_o place_n all_o that_o time_n but_o sometime_o they_o will_v move_v the_o thorn_n pin_n or_o needle_n into_o some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n that_o so_o they_o may_v have_v remedy_n when_o they_o come_v unto_o they_o for_o after_o the_o pain_n or_o infirmity_n have_v be_v of_o above_o a_o month_n stand_v the_o grief_n will_v get_v into_o the_o flesh_n blood_n and_o vital_a part_n and_o then_o the_o pull_v forth_o of_o the_o thorn_n and_o the_o rest_n will_v do_v the_o patient_n but_o little_a good_a and_o can_v possible_o help_v they_o wherefore_o in_o this_o condition_n the_o patient_n friend_n must_v of_o necessity_n repair_v unto_o such_o who_o be_v well_o skill_v in_o astrological_a and_o philosophical_a way_n of_o cure_n as_o i_o shall_v declare_v in_o order_n hereunto_o but_o before_o we_o proceed_v unto_o the_o way_n of_o cure_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o show_v how_o to_o afflict_v the_o witch_n that_o so_o she_o may_v be_v discourage_v to_o act_v any_o further_a in_o her_o mischief_n for_o notwithstanding_o their_o witchcraft_n by_o image_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o i_o seldom_o find_v especial_o where_o the_o patient_n have_v be_v above_o a_o month_n bewitch_v but_o that_o sorcery_n be_v wrought_v so_o well_o as_o witchcraft_n upon_o the_o patient_n and_o sometime_o immediate_o together_o with_o the_o witchcraft_n especial_o where_o there_o be_v no_o confederate_a witch_n for_o the_o white_a witch_n can_v help_v where_o sorcery_n have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o the_o patient_n by_o reason_n it_o break_v forth_o immediate_o into_o some_o poisonous_a or_o infectious_a inward_a grief_n or_o infirmity_n which_o can_v no_o way_n be_v cure_v except_o by_o accident_n but_o by_o the_o astrological_a philosophical_a way_n of_o physic_n here_o follow_v some_o experimental_a rule_n whereby_o to_o afflict_v the_o witch_n cause_v the_o evil_a to_o return_v back_o upon_o they_o 1._o one_o way_n be_v by_o watch_v the_o suspect_a party_n when_o they_o go_v into_o their_o house_n and_o then_o present_o to_o take_v some_o of_o her_o thatch_n from_o over_o the_o door_n or_o a_o tile_n if_o the_o house_n be_v tile_v if_o it_o be_v thatch_v you_o must_v wet_v and_o sprinkle_v it_o over_o with_o the_o patient_n water_n and_o likewise_o with_o white_a salt_n then_o let_v it_o burn_v or_o smoke_n through_o a_o trivet_n or_o the_o frame_n of_o a_o skillet_n you_o must_v bury_v the_o ash_n that_o way_n which_o the_o
