THE ARRAIGNMENT _and Triall of_ ISABEL ROBEY _in the Countie of Lancaster, for Witch-craft: vpon Wednesday the nineteenth of August, 1612. At the Assizes and generall Goale-deliuery, holden at Lancaster._ Before _Sir_ EDWARD BROMLEY, _Knight, one of his Maiesties Iustices of Assizes at Lancaster._ _Isabel Robey._[T2_a_1] Thus at one time may you behold Witches of all sorts from many places in this Countie of Lancaster which now may lawfully bee said to abound asmuch in Witches of diuers kindes as Seminaries, Iesuites, and Papists.[T2_a_2] Here then is the last that came to act her part in this lamentable and wofull Tragedie, wherein his Maiestie hath lost so many Subjects, Mothers their Children, Fathers their Friends, and Kinsfolkes[T2_a_3] the like whereof hath not beene set forth in any age. What hath the Kings Maiestie written and published in his _Daemonologie_, by way of premonition and preuention, which hath not here by the first or last beene executed, put in practise or discouered? What Witches haue euer vpon their Arraignement and Trial made such open liberall and voluntarie declarations of their liues, and such confessions of their offences: The manner of their attempts and their bloudie practises, their meetings, consultations and what not? Therefore I shall now conclude with this _Isabel Robey_ who is now come to her triall. This _Isabel Robey_ Prisoner in the Castle at 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 Deuilish and wicked Artes called _Witchcrafts_, _Inchantments_, _Charmes and Sorceries_. Vpon her Arraignment to this Indictment she pleaded not guiltie, and for the triall of her life, put her selfe vpon God and her Countrie. So as now the Gentlemen of the Iurie of life and death stand charged with her as with others. _The Euidence against_ Isabel Robey _Prisoner at the Barre._ * * * * * _The Examination of_ PETER CHADDOCK _of Windle, in the Countie of Lancaster: Taken at Windle aforesaid, the 12. day of Iuly 1612._ Anno Reg.
