vpon the coales to kindle the same, then set the pan
and milke on the fire: and when the milke was boild to this Examinates
content, she tooke the pan wherein the milke was, off the said fire,
and with all, vnder the bottome of the same, there came a Toade, or a
thing very like a Toade, and to this Examinates thinking came out of
the fire, together with the said Pan, and vnder the bottome of the
same, and that the said _Margerie_ did carrie the said Toade out of
the said house in a paire of tonges;[T_a_] But what shee the said
_Margerie_ did therewith, this Examinate knoweth not.

After this were diuers witnesses examined against her in open Court,
_viua voce_, to proue the death of the Mare, and diuers other vild
and odious practises by her committed, who vpon their Examinations
made it so apparant to the Iurie as there was no question; But because
the fact is of no great importance, in respect her life is not in
question by this Indictment, and the Depositions and examinations are
many, I leaue to trouble you with any more of them, for being found
guiltie of this offence, the penaltie of the Law is as much as her
good Neighbours doe require, which is to be deliuered from the
companie of such a dangerous, wicked, and malicious Witch.

THE ARRAIGNMENT
_and Triall of_ ISABEL ROBEY
_in the Countie of Lancaster, for Witch-craft: vpon Wednesday

Before

_Sir_ EDWARD BROMLEY, _Knight, one of his Maiesties
Iustices of Assizes at Lancaster._

_Isabel Robey._[T2_a_1]

Thus at one time may you behold Witches of all sorts from many
places in this Countie of Lancaster which now may lawfully bee said to
abound asmuch in Witches of diuers kindes as Seminaries, Iesuites, and
Papists.[T2_a_2] Here then is the last that came to act her part in
this lamentable and wofull Tragedie, wherein his Maiestie hath lost so
many Subjects, Mothers their Children, Fathers their Friends, and
Kinsfolkes[T2_a_3] the like whereof hath not beene set forth in any
age. What hath the Kings Maiestie written and published in his
_Daemonologie_, by way of premonition and preuention, which hath not
here by the first or last beene executed, put in practise or
discouered? What Witches haue euer vpon their Arraignement and Trial
made such open liberall and voluntarie declarations of their liues,
and such confessions of their o
