but this
Examinate knoweth not how: and beeing come into the said house, this
Examinate and the said _Ellen Bierley_ stayed there, and the said
_Iennet Bierley_ went into the Chamber where the said _Walshman_ and
his wife lay, & from thence brought a little child,[L2_a_1] which this
Examinate thinketh was in bed with it Father and Mother: and after the
said _Iennet Bierley_ had set her downe by the fire, with the said
child, shee did thrust a naile into the nauell of the said child: and
afterwards did take a pen and put it in at the said place, and did
suck there a good space, and afterwards laid the child in bed againe:
and then the said _Iennet_ and the said _Ellen_ returned to their owne
houses, and this Examinate with them. And shee thinketh that neither
the said _Thomas Walshman_, nor his wife knew that the said child was
taken out of the bed from them. And shee saith also, that the said
child did not crie when it was hurt, as aforesaid: But shee saith,
that shee thinketh that the said child did thenceforth languish, and
not long after dyed. And after the death of the said child; the next
night after the buriall thereof, the said _Iennet Bierley_ & _Ellen

and there did take vp the said child, and the said _Iennet_ did carrie
it out of the Church-yard in her armes, and then did put it in her lap
and carryed it home to her owne house, and hauing it there did boile
some therof in a Pot, and some did broile on the coales, of both which
the said _Iennet_ & _Ellen_ did eate, and would haue had this
Examinate and one _Grace Bierley_, Daughter of the said _Ellen_, to
haue eaten with them, but they refused so to doe: And afterwards the
said _Iennet_ & _Ellen_ did seethe the bones of the said child in a
pot, & with the Fat that came out of the said bones, they said they
would annoint themselues,[L2_a_2] that thereby they might sometimes
change themselues into other shapes. And after all this being done,
they said they would lay the bones againe in the graue the next night
following, but whether they did so or not, this Examinate knoweth not:
Neither doth shee know how they got it out of the graue at the first
taking of it vp. And being further sworne and examined, she deposeth &
saith, that about halfe a yeare agoe, the said _Iennet Bierley_,
_Ellen Bierley_, _Iane Southworth_, and this Examinate (who went by
