, and did complaine that hee was pricked with
Kniues, Elsons and Sickles,[S_a_] and that the same hurt was done vnto
him at Colne-field, presently after that _Alizon Deuice_ had offered
to buy some pinnes of him, and she had no money to pay for them
withall; but as this Examinates father told this Examinate, he gaue
her some pinnes. And this Examinate further saith, That he heard his
said father say, that the hurt he had in his lamenesse was done vnto
him by the said _Alizon Deuice_, by Witchcraft. And this Examinate
further saith, that hee heard his said Father further say, that the
said _Alizon Deuice_ did lie vpon him and trouble him. And this
Examinate seeing his said Father so tormented with the said _Alizon_
and with one other olde woman, whome this Examinates Father did not
know as it seemed: This Examinate made search after the said _Alizon_,
and hauing found her, brought her to his said Father yesterday being
the nine and twenteth of this instant March: whose said Father in the
hearing of this Examinate and diuers others did charge the said
_Alizon_ to haue bewitched him, which the said _Alizon_
confessing[S_b_] did aske this Examinates said Father forgiuenesse
vpon her knees for the same; whereupon this Examinates Father
accordingly did forgiue her. Which Examination in open Court vpon his
oath hee iustified to be true.

Whereupon it was there affirmed to the Court that this _Iohn Law_ the
Pedler, before his vnfortunate meeting with this Witch, was a verie
able sufficient stout man of Bodie, and a goodly man of Stature. But
by this Deuillish art of _Witch-craft_ his head is drawne awrie, his
Eyes and face deformed, His speech not well to bee vnderstood; his
Thighes and Legges starcke lame: his Armes lame especially the left
side, his handes lame and turned out of their course, his Bodie able
to indure no trauell: and thus remaineth at this present time.

The Prisoner being examined by the Court whether shee could helpe the
poore Pedler to his former strength and health, she answered she could
not, and so did many of the rest of the Witches: But shee, with
others, affirmed, That if old _Dembdike_ had liued, shee could and
would haue helped him out of that great miserie, which so long he hath
endured for so small an offence, as you haue heard.

These things being thus openly published against her, and she knowing
her selfe to be guiltie of euery particular, humbly acknowledged the
Indictment against her to be
