RELAT. VI.
Containing farther Testimonies of the villainous Feats of that rampant Hag Margaret Agar, of Brewham in the County of Somerset.
1. Exam. Elizabeth Talbot of Brewham, Examined March 7, 1664, before Robert Hunt Esq; saith, That about 3 Weeks before her Father Jos. Talbot died, Margaret Agar fell out with him, because he being Overseer for the Poor, did require Agars Daughter to go to Service, and said to him, that he was proud of his Living, but Swore by the Blood of the Lord, that he should not long enjoy it. Within 3 Weeks of which he was suddenly taken in his Body, as if he had been stabb'd with Daggers, and so continued four or five Days in great pain, and then Died.

Talbot died, he heard Margaret Agar rail very much at him, because he had caused her Daughter to go to Service, and said, that he should not keep his Living, but be drawn out upon Four Mens Shoulders: That she should tread upon his Jaws, and see the Grass grow over his Head, which she Swore by the Blood of the Lord.
Taken upon Oath, before me,
Rob. Hunt.
