And within two or three daies after, this Examinate went to the Carre-Hall, and vpon some speeches betwixt Mistris _Towneley_ and this Examinate; Shee charging this Examinate and his said mother, to haue stolne some Turues of hers, badde him packe the doores: and withall as he went forth of the doore, the said Mistris _Towneley_ gaue him a knock betweene the shoulders: and about a day or two after that, there appeared vnto this Examinate in his way, a thing like vnto a black dog, who put this Examinate in minde of the said Mistris _Towneleyes_ falling out with him this Examinate; who bad this Examinate make a Picture of Clay, like vnto the said Mistris _Towneley_: and that this Examinate with the helpe of his Spirit (who then euer after bidde this Examinate to call it _Dandy_) would kill or destroy the said Mistris _Towneley_: and so the said dogge vanished out of this Examinates sight. And the next morning after, this Examinate tooke Clay, and made a Picture of the said Mistris _Towneley_, and dried it the same night by the fire: and within a day after, hee, this Examinate began to crumble the said Picture, euery day some, for the space of a weeke: and within two daies after all was crumbled away; the said Mistris _Towneley_ died. And hee further saith, That in Lent last one _Iohn Duckworth_ of the Lawnde, promised this Examinate an old shirt: and within a fortnight after, this Examinate went to the said _Duckworthes_ house, and demanded the said old shirt: but the said _Duckworth_ denied him thereof. And going out of the said house, the said Spirit _Dandy_ appeared vnto this Examinate, and said, Thou didst touch the said _Duckworth_; whereunto this Examinate answered, he did not touch him: yes (said the Spirit againe) thou didst touch him, and therfore I haue power of him: whereupon this Examinate ioyned with the said Spirit, and then wished the said Spirit to kill the said _Duckworth_: and within one weeke, then next after, _Duckworth_ died. This voluntary Confession and Examination of his owne, containing in it selfe matter sufficient in Law to charge him, and to proue his offences, contained in the two seuerall Indictments, was sufficient to satisfie the Gentlemen of the Iurie of Life and Death, that he is guiltie of them, and either of them: yet my Lord _Bromley_ commanded, for their better satisfaction, that the Witnesses present in Court against any of the Prisoners, should be examined openly, _viua voce_, that the Prisoner might both heare and answere to euery particular point of their Euidence; notwithstanding any of their Examinations taken before any of his Maiesties Iustices of Peace within the said Countie. Herein do but obserue the wonderfull work of God; to raise vp a young Infant, the very sister of the Prisoner, _Iennet Deuice_, to discouer, iustifie and proue these things against him, at the time of his Arraignement and Triall, as hereafter followeth. _viz._ * * * * *
