ng 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._

_Iames Deuice_ of the Forrest of Pendle aforesaid, in the Countie of
Lancaster, Labourer, the third time Indicted and Arraigned for the
death of _Iohn Hargraues_ of Gould-shey-booth, in the Countie of
Lancaster, by Witchcraft, as aforesaid. _Contra &c._

To this Inditement vpon his Arraignement he pleaded thereunto not
guiltie: and for his Triall put himselfe vpon God and his Countrey,
&c.

_Iames Deuice_ of the Forrest of Pendle aforesaid, in the County of
Lancaster, Labourer, the fourth time Indicted and Arraigned for the
death of _Blaze Hargreues_ of Higham, in the Countie of Lancaster, by
Witchcraft, as aforesaid. _Contra Pacem_, &c.

To this Indictment vpon his Arraignement, he pleaded thereunto not
guiltie; and for the Triall of his life, put himselfe vpon God and the
Countrey. &c.

Hereupon _Iennet Deuice_ produced, sworne and examined, as a witnesse
on his Maiesties behalfe, again
