true, and that she was guiltie of the
offence therein contained, and that she had iustly deserued death for
that and many other such like: whereupon she was carried away, vntill
she should come to the Barre to receiue her judgement of death.

Oh, who was present at this lamentable spectacle, that was not moued
with pitie to behold it!

Hereupon my Lord _Gerard_, Sir _Richard Houghton_, and others, who
much pitied the poore Pedler, At the entreatie of my Lord _Bromley_
the Iudge, promised some present course should be taken for his
reliefe and maintenance; being now discharged and sent away.

But here I may not let her passe; for that I find some thing more vpon
Record to charge her withall: for although she were but a young Witch,
of a yeares standing, and thereunto induced by _Dembdike_ her
Grand-mother, as you haue formerly heard, yet she was spotted with
innocent bloud among the rest: for in one part of the Examination of
_Iames Deuice_, her brother, he deposeth as followeth, _viz._

* * * * *

_The Examination of_ IAMES DEVICE,
_brother to the said_ ALIZON DEVICE: _Taken
vpon Oath_

Before

ROGER NOWEL _Esquire, aforesaid, the thirtieth day
of March, 1612._

_Iames Deuice_, of the Forrest of Pendle, in the Countie of
Lancaster, Labourer, sworne and examined, sayth, That about _Saint
Peters_ day last one _Henry Bulcock_ came to the house of _Elizabeth
Sothernes_, alias _Dembdike_, Grand-mother to this Examinate, and
said, That the said _Alizon Deuice_ had bewitched a Child of his, and
desired her, that shee would goe with him to his house: which
accordingly shee did: and thereupon shee the said _Alizon_ fell downe
on her knees, and asked the said _Bulcock_ forgiuenesse; and confessed
to him, that she had bewitched the said Child, as this Examinate heard
his said sister confesse vnto him this Examinate.

And although shee were neuer indicted for this offence, yet being
matter vpon Record, I thought it conuenient to joyne it vnto her
former Fact.

Here the Iurie of Life and Death hauing spent the most part of the
day in due consideration of their offences, returned into the Court to
deliuer up their Verdict against them, as followeth.

* * * * *

_The Verdict of Life
and Death._

Who vpon their Oathes found _Iohn Bulcock_ and _Iane Bulcock_ his
mother, not guiltie of the Felonie by Witch-craft, contained in the
Indictment against them.
