_The Examination and Euidence of_ IENNET DEVICE _daughter of_ ELIZABETH DEVICE, _late wife of_ IOHN DEVICE _of the Forrest of Pendle, in the Countie of Lancaster._ Against IAMES DEVICE, _Prisoner at the Barre, vpon his Arraignement and Triall._ viz. Being examined in open Court, she saith, That her brother _Iames Device_, the Prisoner at the Barre, hath beene a Witch for the space of three yeares: about the beginning of which time, there appeared vnto him, in this Examinates mothers house, a Black-Dogge, which [Sidenote: _Dandy._] her said brother called _Dandy_. And further, this Examinate confesseth, & saith: That her said brother about a twelue month since, in the presence of this Examinate, and in the house aforesaid, called for the said _Dandy_, who thereupon appeared: asking this Examinates brother what he would haue him to doe. This Examinates brother then said, he would haue him to helpe him to kill old Mistris _Towneley_ of the Carre: whereunto the said _Dandy_ answered, and said, That her said brother should haue his best helpe for the doing of the same; and that her said brother, and the said _Dandy_, did both in this Examinates hearing, say, they would make away the said Mistris _Towneley_. And about a weeke after, this Examinate comming to the Carre-Hall, saw the said Mistris _Towneley_ in the Kitchin there, nothing well: whereupon it came into this Examinates minde, that her said brother, by the help of _Dandy_, had brought the said Mistris _Towneley_ into the state she then was in. Which Examinat, although she were but very yong, yet it was wonderfull to the Court, in so great a Presence and Audience, with what modestie, gouernement, and vnderstanding, shee deliuered this Euidence against the Prisoner at the Barre, being her owne naturall brother, which he himselfe could not deny, but there acknowledged in euery particular to be iust and true. But behold a little further, for here this bloudy Monster did not stay his hands: for besides his wicked and diuellish Spels, practises, meetings to consult of murder and mischiefe, which (by Gods grace) hereafter shall follow in order against him; there is yet more bloud to be laid vnto his charge. For although he were but yong, and in the beginning of his Time, yet was he carefull to obserue his Instructions from _Old Demdike_ his Grand-mother, and _Elizabeth Deuice_ his mother, in so much that no time should passe since his first entrance into that damnable Arte and exercise of Witchcrafts, Inchantments, Charmes and Sorceries, without mischiefe or murder. Neither should any man vpon the least occasion of offence giuen vnto him, escape his hands, without some danger. For these particulars were no sooner giuen in Euidence against him, when he was againe Indicted and Arraigned for the murder of these two. _viz._
