The Examination

whom Sathan had infect
With Belial’s ſpirite whoſe ſorcery did,
the ſimple ſo moleſt:
That when they woulde with preſent death,
they were full fore oppreſt.
Here after ſhall ſuccede the actes
that they them ſelues have wrought:
As they them ſelves confeſſed haue,
to judgement being brought.
Which thing when thou haſte viewed well,
good Reader do thou praye:
To God the Lorde that he from vs
woulde witches take away.
And thus I ende hoping thou wilte
my travell well accept:
And judge the truth when thou haſte hearde
of this the full effect.

FINIS PROLOG.
