ffences: The manner of their attempts
and their bloudie practises, their meetings, consultations and what
not? Therefore I shall now conclude with this _Isabel Robey_ who is
now come to her triall.

This _Isabel Robey_ Prisoner in the Castle at Lancaster being brought
to the Barre before the great Seat of Iustice was there according to
the former order and course Indicted and Arraigned, for that shee
Felloniously had practised, exercised and vsed her Deuilish and wicked
Artes called _Witchcrafts_, _Inchantments_, _Charmes and Sorceries_.

Vpon her Arraignment to this Indictment she pleaded not guiltie, and
for the triall of her life, put her selfe vpon God and her Countrie.

So as now the Gentlemen of the Iurie of life and death stand charged
with her as with others.

_Prisoner at the Barre._

this Examinate hauing occasion to meete Master _Iohn Hawarden_ at
Peaseley Crosse, wished one _Thomas Lyon_ to goe thither with him,
which they both did so; but as they came home-wards, they both were in
euill case. But within a short time after, this Examinate and the said
_Thomas Lyon_ were both very well amended.

And this Examinate further saith, that about foure yeares last past,
his now wife was angrie with the said _Isabel_, shee then being in his
house, and his said Wife thereupon went out of the house, and
presently after that the said _Isabel_ went likewise out of the house
not well pleased, as this Examinate then did thinke, and presently
after vpon the same day, this Examinate with his said wife working in
