This is as likely to be true as the rest, to throw a child downe from the toppe of a House, and neuer hurt her great toe. _She rose againe; had no hurt, went to her Aunt, and returned backe againe to her Fathers house, being fetched home._ I pray you obserue these contrarieties, in order as they are placed, to accuse the Prisoners. _Saterday the fourth of this instant Aprill._ Which was about the very day the Witches of the Forrest of Pendle were sent to Lancaster. Now was the time for the Seminarie to instruct, accuse, and call into question these poore women: for the wrinkles of an old wiues face is good euidence to the Iurie against a Witch.[M2_a_] And how often will the common people say (_Her eyes are sunke in her head_, GOD _blesse vs from her._) But old _Chattox_ had _Fancie_,[M2_b_] besides her withered face, to accuse her. _This Examinate did goe with the said_ Iennet Bierley _her Grand-mother, and_ Ellen Bierley _her Aunt, to the house of_ Walshman, _in the night-time, to murther a Child in strange manner._ This of all the rest is impossible, to make her of their counsell, to doe murther, whome so cruelly and barbarously they pursue from day to day, and torment her. The Witches of the Forrest of Pendle were neuer so cruell nor barbarous. _And shee also saith, the Child cried not when it was hurt._ All this time the Child was asleepe, or the Child was of an extraordinarie patience, _o inauditum facinus_! _After they had eaten, the said three women and this Examinate daunced euery one of them with one of the Blacke things: and after, the Blacke things abused the said women._ Here is good Euidence to take away their liues. This is more proper for the Legend of Lyes, then the Euidence of a witnesse vpon Oath, before a reuerend and learned Iudge, able to conceiue this Villanie, and finde out the practise. Here is the Religious act of a Priest, but behold the euent of it. _She describes the foure Blacke things to goe vpright, but not like Men in the face._ The Seminarie mistakes the face for the feete: For _Chattox_ and all her fellow Witches agree, the Deuill is clouen-footed: but _Fancie_ had a very good face, and was a very proper Man. _About tenne dayes after her Examination taken at Black-borne, then she was tormented._ Still he pursues his Proiect: for hearing his Scholler had done well, he laboured she might doe more in this nature. But notwithstanding, many things are layd to be in the times when they were Papists: yet the Priest neuer tooke paines to discouer them, nor instruct his Scholler, vntill they came to Church. Then all this was the Act of GOD, to raise a child to open all things, and then to difcouer his plotted Tragedie. Yet in this great discouerie, the Seminarie forgot to deuise a Spirit for them.
