her finger was swollen so big that they were faine to cut it asunder with a paire of sizers And we found that in the middest of the ring within side there was engrauen the head of an Owle in a circle and right opposite against it there was engrauen the name of Iesus which was cut in peeces and cast into the fire After dinner it was thought fit to take aduantage of the time and to purge the soule of Magdalene from those leprosies and pollutions where-withall it was tainted and by this meanes to delude Belzebub and his adherents Whereupon the Friers together with the fathers of the doctrine came priuatly into Magdalens chamber hauing in their company an ancient Matrone of S. Vrsula's order called sister Catherine of France and another that was an associate or coadiutor there And as we exhorted her to name all the witches which she had formerly seene in their Synagogue the Diuell spake vnto her when shee was opening her mouth to reueale them vnto vs and said If thou offer to prate of this I will strangle thee Yet for all this shee began to speake where-upon the Diuell came vp about the bignesse of a toade and seazed her throate in so terrible a manner that hee was like to choake her in so much as she lost her speech and turned vp the white of her eies as if shee should instantly haue died But herselfe remembring to make the signe of the Crosse and the Exorcist saying that part of the Gospell In principio erat verbum and the whole assembly addressing themselues to prayers the Diuell at last was forced to quit her after the space of a quarter or halfe a quarter of an houre and then he would returne to racke and torture her which cruell handling indured the space of the three weekes wherein the examination of these things was to passe vnder the censure of the fathers When shee came againe to herselfe shee followed on her discourse as if shee had felt no hurt and had receiued no interruption But when the Magician saw her resolution to stand in that steddy course of repentance he sent vnto her many Sorcerers and Witches which were sensible vnto her and not vnto vs who came to cast their charmes vpon her that shee might loose her memory or wits they came in at the chimney as Magdalene reported and when the charme had seazed her she remained a long time as if shee had been in a trance or were halfe dead But this being also blowne away by the power of Exorcismes shee was then asked what was the cause of these trances whereunto shee made answere you shall perceiue how this comes vnto mee when as I open my mouth It is the Diuell that causeth this in mee to force mee to take those charmes which they blow into mee through a cane which you might obserue by my sneezing and coughing as though there were something sticking in my throte which I would faine ridde my selfe of All this happened againe presently after that she was questioned touching another confederacy so that father Peter Fournez an ancient graue man and Vicar of S. Baume being close vnto her and seeing her to begin to gape hee put his hand ouer her mouth and the charme was seene to fall visibly vpon the apron of her that was possessed which father Michaelis tooke vpon his knife and shewed it to all that were there present to their great astonishment and admiration The charme appeared to bee a glutinous kinde of matter as it were a mingle of hony and pitch When all the fathers that were there present had seene this and knew for a certainty that these were realities and not shewes they determined to furnish the house with swords and halbards to defend themselues against these wicked assaylants And the same accident happening againe not long after a valiant gentle-man called Monsieur Gombert kept close to the chimney with a sword in his hand euer beating and thrusting into it and others betooke them to their halberds striking and laying about them ouer all the chamber But vpon the sudden Magdalene cryed out Alacke poore Mary what makest thou heere and made an out-cry like vnto a woman that seeth one man murthering another beating her thighes with her hands and plucking her selfe by the haire When this was passed ouer she was asked the reason of her out-cry who made answere that a companion of hers whom shee loued the best of al the Synagogue for she was of a very gentle and courteous disposition called Mary of Paris came into her chamber with a seruant of hers named Cecile to bring her a loue-letter from the Magician which she refused to receiue And they being fearefull to returne through the chimney were carryed vp and downe the chamber by the Diuels skipping and flinging about for feare of being wounded Mary said shee was striken ouer the breast with a halbard and also hurt on the left side and Cecile was wounded in the back and I feare me Mary is dead Being asked why they had not broken through the leaues of the window which were made of paper shee answered that the Diuell hath no power to breake or make a forcible passage through any thing without the permission and consent of the master of the house but if there bee a passage or if the windowes stand open then indeed hee hath a deuice to make the witches passe through prouided that the hole through which they are to passe be of that capacity and bignesse that a reasonable great cat may get in and out through the same Vpon Sunne set wee heard through the window a lamentable voice of a woman that seemed to be ready to giue vp the ghost and as we thought it came from an adioyning mountaine iust ouer against S. Baume these lamentations continued for a long season so that we called for Magdalene to vnderstand of her what the matter was who when shee came to the window shee said looke looke doe not you see Lewes the Magician that holdeth Mary vpon his knee to comfort her For shee is ready to dye and her father and mother with much other company are very busie about her About nine of the clock at night the fathers with certaine women there present did see in the aire great store of torches and candles burning very bright and carryed in manner of Procession towards Marseille The acts of the 19. of Ianuary THis morning was Belzebub exorcised and diuers times questioned and charged to tell who that creature was which the day before did so lamentably bemone her selfe In conclusion being constrained to answere he said that it was a young woman which was wounded whereupon it was demanded of him in what part of the body shee had receaued this wound vnto which after many refusals he made answere that it was about the heart then they asked him whether the wound were mortall or no at which question hee began to laugh
