Witchcraft -- England -- History
_A Full and True Account of the Discovering, Apprehending and taking of
a Notorious Witch, who was carried before Justice Bateman in Well-Close
on Sunday, July the 23. Together with her Examination and Commitment to
Bridewel, Clerkenwel_, London, 1704. Signed at the end, "Tho. Greenwel."
Single page.
_An Account of the Tryals, Examination, and Condemnation of Elinor Shaw
and Mary Phillips ..., 1705._
_The Northamptonshire Witches ..., 1705._
The second of these is the completer account. They are by the same
author and are probably fabrications; see below, § 10.
_The Whole Trial of Mrs. Mary Hicks and her Daughter Elizabeth ...,
1716._ See below, § 10.
§ 8.--The Surey Pamphlets (see ch. XIII).
_The Devil Turned Casuist, or the Cheats of Rome Laid open in the
Exorcism of a Despairing Devil at the House of Thomas Pennington in
Oriel.... By Zachary Taylor, M. A., Chaplain to the Right reverend
Father in God, Nicholas, Lord Bishop of Chester, and Rector of Wigan_,
London, 1696.
_The Surey Demoniack, Or an Account of Satan's Strange and Dreadful
Actings, In and about the Body of Richard Dugdale of Surey, near Whalley
in Lancashire. And How he was Dispossest by Gods blessing on the
Fastings and Prayers of divers Ministers and People_, London, 1697.
Fishwick, _Notebook of Jollie_ (Chetham Soc.), p. xxiv says this was
written by Thomas Jollie and John Carrington. The preface is signed by
"Thomas Jolly" and five other clergymen. Probably Jollie wrote the
pamphlet and Carrington revised it. See above, ch. XIII, note 10. Jollie
disclaimed the sole responsibility for it. See his _Vindication_, 7.
Taylor in _The Surey Impostor_ assumes that Carrington wrote _The Surey
Demoniack_; see _e. g._ p. 21.
_The Surey Imposter, being an answer to a late Fanatical Pamphlet,
entituled The Surey Demoniack._ By Zachary Taylor. London, 1697.
_A Vindication of the Surey Demoniack as no Imposter: Or, A Reply to a
certain Pamphlet publish'd by Mr. Zach. Taylor, called The Surey
Imposter...._ By T. J., London, 1698. Written by Jollie.
_Popery, Superstition, Ignorance and Knavery very unjustly by a letter
in the general pretended; but as far as was charg'd very fully proved
upon the Dissenters that were concerned in the Surey Imposture._ 1698.
Written by Zachary Taylor.
_The Lancashire Levite Rebuked, or a Vindication of the Dissenters from
Popery, Superstition, Ignorance, and Knavery, unjustly Charged on them
by Mr. Zachary Taylor...._ London, 1698. Signed "N. N.;" see above ch.
XIII, note 17.
_The Lancashire Levite Rebuked, or a Farther Vindication_, 1698. This
seems to have been an answer to a "letter to Mr. N. N." which Taylor had
published. We have, however, no other mention of such a letter.
_Popery, Superstition, Ignorance, and Knavery, Confess'd and fully
Proved on the Surey Dissenters, from a Second Letter of an Apostate
Friend, to Zach. Taylor. To which is added a Refutation of T. Jollie's
Vindication ..._, London, 1699. Written by Zachary Taylor.
