THE Power of VVitchcraft BEING A most strange but true Relation of the most miraculons and wonderful Deliverance of one Mr. William Harrison of Cambden in the County of Glocester Steward to the Lady Nowell THat the Lord hath béen pleased wonderfully to shew forth his power to sinful man it doth every day appear unto us there is not a month nor wéek nay we may say a day in the year in which the mighty works of the Lord are not vistbly apparent unto us But that which I have now to relate unto you is most wonderful nay I may say a most amazing providence as ever man or woman ever heard in this Kingdom it may be truly said to be a discovery of Witchcraft and that the Lord doth sometimes suffer wicked people to have power over others in bewitching them the Scriptures hold forth for we read of Saul that he went to the Witch of Ender 1 Sam. 28. vers 6. And in several places of Scripture it doth evidently make clear unto us That the Lord hath suffered Witches and Sorcerers and such like people in a Nation But I shall not stand to give you any examples of old but come to the matter intended which is as follows It was not much above two years since their dwelt at Cambden in Glocester shire one Master William Harrison a Gentleman of good credit and estimation in the place where he dwelt This Master Harrison aforesaid was Steward to the honourable Lady the Lady Nowel whose place of dwelling was at Cambden also In this place there was also a widow woman whose name was Perry who had two sons Master Harrison looking upon the woman as an honest poor woman took one of her Sons from her and brought him up at length to become one of his Houshold Servants This Boy being grown up to be a lusty Fellow observing his Master oftentimes to bring home great sums of money which he received for rent being Steward to the Lady aforesaid what doth this wicked fellow do but presently fell to contrive how he might become Master of some of those sums of money which he observed his Master so often to bring home It was not long but this fellow with his mother who as it now appears was a Witch with his other Brother did determine to set upon this Gentleman as he should come along upon the road to his habitation to take what money he had from him and there was an opportunity fell out so that they had an occasion to put their wicked determinations into practice as you shall hear The Gentleman was coming home and being not many miles from his intended iourneys end this Widow Perry and her two sons met Mr. Harrison who they no sooner espied but they knockt him down and robbed him and cast him into a pit whereout they digged stones He did not long remain there as you will hear by the sequel But Mr. Harrison not coming home according to his usual custom his Wife and Family were much troubled at it Great search after some few days were made for him but all to little purpose for there was no tidings of him but every one concluded that he was murthered upon the rode It was not long before the Lord had brought to light this strange accident for this widow Perry and her two Sons were suspected of the robbery and they were all thrée forthwith apprehended and at the Assizes at Glocester about two years since they were arraigned condemned and executed for the supposed murther of Master Harrison The place of their execution was on Broadway hills in the fight of Cambden where a Gibbet was erected the mother and one of her Sons were hanged and buried under the Gibbet the other Son who was Servant to Mr. Harrison was hanged in chains on the Gibbet where part of him remains to be séen at this day At the time of their Execution they would not confess what they had done with Master Harrison but said that he was not dead but ere seven years were half over they should sée Master Harrison again Now attend to this following Discourse and you shall hear in what a condition Master Harrison was left in This Widow Perry by her wicked Conjuration had power on Master Harrison for no sooner had they knocked him down and taken what he had from him but they threw him into a pit He had not lain long but he began to come to himself and he apprehended where he was but before he was come to himself fully he was in a moment conveyed to the Sea side and from thence in a very short time he was conveyed to a rock standing in the Sea on the coast of Turky where he remained the space of four days bare headed his hat being left near Cambden where they first had knocked him down After his four days abode there there came by a Turkish ship which took him in and brought him to Turky and there sold him His Master that bought him was by profession a Chyrurgeon who asked his new bought Servant what he could do he answered his Master that then was that he had skill in Gardening and could distil Hearbs in which employment he was entertained in and he so well behaved himself that he gained a great deal of love from his Master during his life He had not lived there above two years or thereabouts but it pleased God his Master dyed who out of the respect he did bear to Master Harrison his Servant he gave him a peice of plate and bade him make use thereof for his Transportation into his own Country which he did After this it was not long but he heard of a Turky Merchant bound for Portugal for the which piece of plate he had his passage to Portugal where it was not long but he safely arrived and is now since that come safely into his own Native Country England and is come to his own dwelling house at Cambden to the no little astonishment and wonderful amazement of all his Friends and Relations nay of all the Country round It is matter of great amazement to all people that such a thing should be wrought by Witchcraft but the truth of this is not to be disputed for
