Furthermore he saith, that through this art they are so cunning that no man can apprehend them, but when they are a sleepe. Item, he nameth another witch, that (as _M. Mal._ saith) could not be caught, bicause he would transforme himselfe into a mouse, and runne into everie little hole, till at length he was killed comming out of the hole of a jamme in a windowe: which indeed is as possible, as a camell to go through a needels eie. Item, he saith, that diverse witches at _Vernon_ turned themselves into cats, and both committed and received much hurt. But at _Argentine_ there was a wonderfull matter done, by three witches of great wealth, who transforming themselves into three cats, assalted a faggot-maker: who having hurt them all with a faggot sticke, was like to have beene put to death. But he was miraculouslie delivered, and they worthilie punished; as the storie saith, from whence _Bodin_ had it. ♦Stasus a witch could not be apprehended, and why?♦ ♦_J. Bodin. Mal. malef._♦ ♦_John.

Item, he mainteineth, as sacred and true, all _Homers_ fables of _Circes_ and _Ulyffes_ his companions: inveieng against _Chrysostome_, who rightlie interpreteth [*]_Ho_mers meaning to be, that _Ulyffes_ his people were by the harlot _Circes_ made in their brutish maners to resemble swine. ♦An error about Lycanthropia.♦ ♦[*] [Sic.]♦
