according_o do_v it_o to_o confirm_v this_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o of_o a_o very_a remarkable_a example_n much_o tend_v to_o this_o particular_a of_o one_o at_o heddenham_n in_o the_o isle_n of_o

perceive_v that_o many_o of_o they_o after_o they_o have_v do_v mischief_n be_v sorry_a for_o it_o and_o can_v help_v it_o this_o it_o be_v to_o renounce_v god_n and_o christ_n for_o this_o woman_n present_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v she_o that_o have_v hurt_v the_o child_n through_o her_o diabolical_a practice_n and_o tell_v he_o what_o imp_v she_o have_v send_v to_o hurt_v the_o child_n and_o

thing_n bite_v by_o they_o and_o suchlike_a though_o it_o be_v by_o their_o implicit_a league_n as_o some_o of_o they_o do_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o distrust_n of_o god_n providence_n put_v their_o

of_o their_o imp_n and_o the_o manner_n which_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o express_v and_o the_o initiation_n of_o a_o witch_n and_o every_o particular_a thing_n at_o large_a especial_o she_o confess_v

my_o god_n my_o god_n mean_v he_o and_o not_o the_o lord_n this_o i_o put_v in_o the_o rather_o because_o you_o may_v take_v notice_n where_o such_o meeting_n be_v there_o be_v just_a ground_n of_o suspicion_n for_o they_o can_v always_o do_v their_o mischief_n according_a to_o their_o desire_n without_o their_o meeting_n and_o the_o help_v one_o of_o another_o i_o may_v add_v the_o apparition_n of_o the_o party_n suspect_v to_o the_o party_n sick_a and_o can_v nominate_v some_o instance_n thereof_o as_o in_o northamptonshire_n and_o elsewhere_o but_o because_o apparition_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o fantasy_n of_o such_o as_o the_o party_n use_v to_o fear_v or_o at_o least_o suspect_v i_o forbear_v because_o i_o will_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v be_v accuse_v but_o where_o there_o be_v just_a ground_n of_o suspicion_n but_o those_o call_v wiseman_n or_o wise-woman_n call_v your_o white_a witch_n which_o will_v show_v the_o

good_a ground_n and_o other_o clear_a evidence_n concur_v with_o they_o yet_o i_o affirm_v that_o all_o that_o have_v these_o or_o any_o of_o these_o mark_n be_v guilty_a of_o witchcraft_n if_o plain_o make_v appear_v for_o i_o can_v have_v speak_v somewhat_o more_o both_o of_o wrongful_o accuse_v and_o excuse_v only_o i_o know_v it_o will_v then_o be_v judge_v that_o i_o do_v it_o to_o

they_o be_v such_o as_o invocate_v the_o devil_n by_o certain_a superstitious_a form_n of_o word_n and_o prayer_n believe_v that_o these_o mean_n can_v effect_v what_o they_o have_v offer_v they_o

so_o satan_n tie_v his_o witch_n to_o certain_a word_n and_o deed_n in_o go_v about_o his_o service_n and_o to_o observe_v number_n and_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n so_o and_o so_o often_o three_o time_n
