A55588 The power of vvitchcraft being a most strange but true relation of the most miraculous and wonderful deliverance of one Mr. William Harrison, of Cambden in the county of Glocester, steward to the Lady Nowel. Who was supposed to have been murthered by his own servant, and his servants mother and brother: but to the amazement of all the people that live near the said place, the truth is now brought to light; and Mr. Harrison after about two years absence is returned into his own country and place of abode in Cambden. The manner how he was bewitched away, and the manner of his safe return back again into his own countrey you shall hear in this following discourse. 1662 (1662) Wing P3109; ESTC R221784 4,513 15

but_o hrreafter_o for_o witch_n and_o wizard_n or_o fortune-teller_n and_o the_o like_a they_o be_v such_o as_o sell_v their_o soul_n to_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v mischief_n and_o though_o the_o

wonderful_a example_n of_o mercy_n to_o mr._n harrison_n may_v be_v always_o fresh_a in_o our_o memory_n sure_o we_o may_v judge_v the_o lord_n deal_v by_o he_o as_o he_o do_v by_o job_n when_o the_o

they_o power_n yet_o do_v put_v a_o restraint_n upon_o they_o and_o they_o can_v go_v any_o further_a than_o he_o will_v give_v they_o leave_v what_o matter_n of_o encouragement_n be_v here_o to_o all_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n may_v and_o do_v suffer_v satan_n the_o great_a enemy_n of_o mankind_n to_o tempt_v his_o people_n and_o he_o do_v sometime_o let_v the_o wicked_a
