I. Question. Whether the Witches of our times, be the same with those that are here condemned by Moses Law?
Ans. If we doe well consider the qualitie, and condition of the Witches of our daies, we shall easily see that they be the same. For experience sheweth, that whether they be men or women, but especially aged women, they be such persons, as doe renounce God, and their Baptisme, and make a league with the deuil, either secretly or openly; in which the deuill bindeth himselfe to teach them certaine rites and ceremonies, whereby they may be able to worke wonders, as to stirre vp tempests, to re∣ueale secrets, to kill or hurt men, and cattell, or to cure and doe good, accor∣ding to the tenour of their couenant.
