think_v that_o king_n james_n have_v say_v or_o bring_v more_o and_o better_a proof_n in_o this_o point_n but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o do_v meddle_v with_o it_o at_o all_o but_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o if_o there_o be_v witch_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o covenant_n and_o so_o leave_v it_o without_o further_a proof_n a_o second_o note_n be_v that_o the_o agreement_n between_o the_o witch_n and_o the_o devil_n they_o call_v a_o covenant_n and_o yet_o neither_o of_o the_o party_n be_v any_o way_n bind_v to_o perform_v their_o part_n and_o the_o devil_n without_o
