This Examinate saith, That vpon Good-Friday, about twelue of the clocke in the day time, there dined in this Examinates said Mothers house a number of persons, whereof three were men with this Examinate, and the rest women, and that they met there for these three causes following, as this Examinates said mother told this Examinate. The first was, for the naming of the Spirit which _Allison Deuice_, now prisoner at Lancaster had, but did not name him, because shee was not there. The second cause was, for the deliuerie of his said Grand-mother; this Examinates said sister _Allison_; the said _Anne Chattox_, and her daughter _Redferne_, killing the Gaoler at Lancaster, and before the next Assises to blow vp the Castle there, to that end the aforesaid prisoners might by that meanes make an escape, and get away: All which this Examinate then heard them conferre of. And he also sayth, That the names of such said Witches as were on Good-Friday at this Examinates said Grand-mothers house, and now this Examinates owne mothers, for so many of them as hee did know, were these, _viz._ _Iane Bulcock_, wife of _Christopher Bulcock_, of the Mosse end, and _Iohn_ her sonne amongst others, &c. And this Examinate further saith, That all the said Witches went out of the said house in their own shapes and likenesses: and they all, by that they were forth of the dores, were gotten on horse-backe, like vnto Foales, some of one colour, and some of another, and _Prestons_ wife was the last: and when shee got on horse-backe, they all presently vanished out of this Examinates sight. And further he saith, That the said _Iohn Bulcock_ and _Iane_ his said Mother, did confesse vpon Good-Friday last at the said Malking-Tower, in the hearing of this Examinate, That they had bewitched, at the new-field Edge in Yorkeshire, a woman called _Iennet_, wife of _Iohn Deyne_, besides, her reason; and the said Womans name so bewitched, he did not heare them speake of. And this Examinate further saith, That at the said Feast at Malking-Tower this Examinate heard them all giue their consents to put the said Master _Thomas Lister_ of Westby[Q4_a_] to death. And after Master _Lister_ should be made away by Witch-craft, then all the said Witches gaue their consents to ioyne all together, to hanck Master _Leonard Lister_, when he should come to dwell at the Cow-gill, and so put him to death. * * * * * _The Examination of_ ELIZABETH DEVICE, _Taken the day and yeare aforesaid_, Before ROGER NOWEL _and_ NICHOLAS BANESTER, _Esquires, two of his Maiesties Iustices of Peace in the Countie of Lancaster._ Against IOHN BVLCOCK, _and_ IANE BVLCOCK, _his mother._ This Examinate saith vpon her oath, That she doth verily thinke, that the said _Bulcockes_ wife doth know of some Witches to bee about Padyham and Burnley.[Q4_b_]
