Behold, aboue all the rest, this lamentable spectacle of a poore distressed Pedler, how miserably hee was tormented, and what punishment hee endured for a small offence, by the wicked and damnable practise of this odious Witch, first instructed therein by old _Dembdike_ her Grand-mother, of whose life and death with her good conditions, I haue written at large before in the beginning of this worke, out of her owne Examinations and other Records, now remayning with the Clarke of the Crowne at Lancaster: And by her Mother brought vp in this detestable course of life; wherein I pray you obserue but the manner and course of it in order, euen to the last period at her Execution, for this horrible fact, able to terrifie and astonish any man liuing. This _Alizon Deuice_, Prisoner in the Castle of Lancaster, being brought to the Barre before the great Seat of Iustice, was there according to the former order and course indicted and arraigned, for that shee felloniously had practised, exercised, and vsed her Deuillish and wicked Arts, called _Witch-crafts_, _Inchantments_, _Charmes_, and _Sorceries_, in, and vpon one _Iohn Law_, a Petti-chapman, and him had lamed; so that his bodie wasted and consumed, &c. _Contra formam Statuti, &c. Et contra pacem dicti Domini Regis, Coronam & Dignitatem, &c._ Vpon the Arraignement, The poore Pedler, by name _Iohn Law_, being in the Castle about the Moot-hall, attending to be called, not well able to goe or stand, being led thether by his poore sonne _Abraham Law_: My Lord _Gerrard_[R3_a_] moued the Court to call the poore Pedler, who was there readie, and had attended all the Assizes, to giue euidence for the Kings Majestie against the said _Alizon Deuice_, Prisoner at the Barre, euen now vpon her Triall. The Prisoner being at the Barre, & now beholding the Pedler, deformed by her Witch-craft, and transformed beyond the course of Nature, appeared to giue euidence against her; hauing not yet pleaded to her Indictment, saw it was in vaine to denie it, or stand vpon her justification: Shee humbly vpon her knees at the Barre with weeping teares, prayed the Court to heare her. Whereupon my Lord _Bromley_ commanded shee should bee brought out from the Prisoners neare vnto the Court, and there on her knees, shee humbly asked forgiuenesse for her offence: And being required to make an open declaration or confession of her offence: Shee confessed as followeth. _viz._ * * * * * _The Confession of_ ALIZON DEVICE, _Prisoner at the Barre: published and declared at time of her Arraignement and Triall in open Court._
