“The next word is ‏מעונן‎ _megnonen_, which, though our English translation renders [gnon] (_tempus_,) ‘an observer of times;’ which should rather be a declarer of the seasonableness of the time, or unseasonableness of the time, or unseasonableness as to success; a thing which is inquired of also from witches, yet the usual sense, rendered by the learned in the language, is _præstigiatur_, an imposer on the sight, _Sapientes prisci_, says Buxtorf, a ‏עין‎ [gnajin, oculus] _deduxerunt et_ ‏מעונן‎ [megnonen] _esse eum dixerunt, qui tenet et præstringit oculos, ut falsum pro vero videant_. Lo, another word that signifies a witch or a wizzard, which has its name properly from imposing on the sight, and making the by-stander believe he sees forms or transformations of things he sees not! As when Anne Bodenham transformed herself before Anne Styles in the shape of a great cat; Anne Styles’s sight was so imposed upon, that the thing to her seemed to be done, though her eyes were only deluded. But such a delusion certainly cannot be performed without confederacy with evil spirits. For to think the word signifies _præstigiator_, in that sense we translate in English, _juggler_, or a _hocus-pocus_, is so fond a conceit, that no man of any depth of wit can endure it. As if a merry juggler that plays tricks of legerdemain at a fair or market, were such an abomination to either the God of Israel, or to his law-giver Moses; or as if a hocus-pocus were so wise a wight as to be consulted as an oracle: for it is said, v. 14, ‘For the nations which thou shalt possess, they consult,’ ‏מעוננים‎ _megnonenim_. What, do they consult jugglers and hocus-pocusses? No, certainly, they consult witches or wizzards, and diviners, as Anne Styles did Anne Bodenham.’ Wherefore here is evidently a second name of a witch.
