ball of fire, with some dispersed spangles of blacke; and at the last in
prison (after the doome of iudegement, and sentence of condemnation was
passed against her) two seuerall times, in that figure as at the first:
only at the last he seemed to haue a paire of horns vpon his head, and
these as shee came downe from her chamber, being sent for to conferre
with some learned and reuerend Diuines, by whose prayers and
instructions she might be brought to the sight and confession of her
grieuous offences, be regained and rescued out of his hands, brought to
repentance, and the fauour of God, assured hope of mercie, and eternall
life, and at these times he wished her to confesse nothing to any of
them, but continue constant in her made promise, rely vpon him, and hee
would saue her. This was too high a straine aboue his reach to haue made
it good, and a note of his false descant, who hauing compassed this
wretched woman, brought her to a shamefull and vntimely end; yet doing
nothing herein contrary to his malicious purposes, for hee was a
murtherer from the beginning, _Iohn 8. 44_. Now then, to descend
to particulars, and the effects of this hellish association made.
Being thus joyned and linked together in a reciprocall league,
he beginneth to worke for her, in procuring the mischiefe
of those whom she maligned, whereof these
few acknowleged by her selfe, may
yeeld some taste of more,
though concealed.
¶ _Her wicked practise against Iohn Orkton._
