ponent was taken with a
lameness in both legs, from the knees down-ward, that she was
fain to go upon crutches, and that she had no other use of them
but only to bear a little upon them till she did remove her
crutches, and so continued till the time of the Assizes that the
Witch came to be tried, and was there upon her crutches; the
