twelve a Clock at night one standing at her bed-side with a black head like an Ape and spoke to her but the words she could not understand at which she was very angry because he spoke not plainer that she might know his meaning the other three were Rutterkin little Robin and Spirit and that she never feared she should lose her life nor suspected their treachery till that time About the same time Joan Willimot of Goadby a Witch was examined by Sir Henry Hastings and Dr. Fleming Justices in Leicestershire about the murder of Henry Lord Ross who declared that Joan Flower told her the Earl of Rutland had dealt badly by her and had put away her Daughter and though she could not have her will of my Lord himself yet she had sped my Lords Son and had stricken him to the heart She further

form of a woman who asked her to give her Soul to her which she then promised by the instigation of her Master She said she never hurt any body but helpt divers who were bewitcht and that her Spirit came to her weekly giving her an account who were thus afflicted and that the night before it came like a woman mumbling somewhat she could not understand And being asked whether she were not in a dream she affirmed she was awake as much as at that instant Another time her Spirit told her there was a bad woman at Deeping who had given her Soul to the Devil and that her Spirit did then appear in a more hideous form than it had formerly done and much urged her to give it something though but a piece of her Girdle saying it had taken great pains for her but she refused to give it any thing She said further that John Pachet whose child was bewitcht to death might have had it alive if he would have sought help in time and that Pachets Wife had an evil thing within her which would make an end of her which she knew by her Girdle and accordingly she died soon after And that Gamaliel Greete of Waltham in Leicestershire a Shepherd had a Spirit like a Mouse which went into his Body at the time

Spirit inform'd her before he left her Upon a second Examination she confest that Joan Flower and her Daughter Margaret met together about a week before their apprehension in Black-borrow Hill and went thence to Joan Flowers house where she saw two Spirits one like a Rat and the other like an Owl and one of them suckt her right ear as she thought and Joan told her that her Spirits had promised she should neither be hanged nor burnt and then took up some earth and spit upon it working it with her Fingers and put it into her purse saying Though she could not hurt the Lord himself yet she had sped his Son who is dead Another Witch called Ellen Green of Stathorn in Leicestershire was examined about that time by the same Justices who confessed that Joan Willimot abovenamed came to her about

shape of a Mole which she called Hiff Hiff who instantly came and Willimot going away left them with her after which they leapt on her shoulder the Kitling sucking her neck under her right ear and the Mole under her left in the same place After which she sent the Kitling to a Baker in the Town who had called her Witch and struck her bidding it go and bewitch him to death and the Mole she sent to Ann Daws of the same Town upon the same errand because she had called her Witch Whore and Jade and within a Fortnight after they both died After which she sent them to destroy two Husbandmen named Willison and Williman who died both in ten days These four she murdered while she dwelt at Waltham When she removed to Stathorn where she now dwelt upon a difference between her and one Pachets Wife a Yeoman there Joan Willimot called her to go and touch Pachets Wife and Child which she did touching the Woman in bed and the Child in the Midwives arms and then sent her Spirits to bewitch them to death the woman languished a month before she died but the Child lived only till next day after she had touched
