THE EPILOGVE.

NOw while the Witches must expect their due By lawfull Iustice, we appeale to you For favourable censure; what their crime May bring upon'em, ripenes yet of time Ha•…•… not reveal'd. Perhaps great Mercy may After just con•…•…mnation give them day Of long•…•…r life. We represent as much As they have done, before Lawes hand did touch Upon their guilt; But dare not hold it fit, That we for Iustices and I•…•…dges sit. And personate their grave wisedomes on the Stage VVhom we are bound to honour; No, the Age Allowes it not. Therefore unto the Lawes VVe can but bring the Witches and their cause, And there w•…•… leave'em, as their Divels did, Should we goe further with'em? Wit forbid; What of their storie, further shall ensue, We must referre to time, our selves to you.
