Hereupon _Anne Whittle_, alias _Chattox_, her Mother, was brought
forth to bee examined, who confessed the making of the pictures of
Clay, and in the end cried out very heartily to God to forgiue her
sinnes, and vpon her knees intreated for this _Redferne_, her
daughter.
Here was likewise many witnesses examined vpon oth _Viua voce_, who
charged her with many strange practises, and declared the death of the
parties, all in such sort, and about the time in the Examinations
formerly mentioned.
All men that knew her affirmed, shee was more dangerous then her
Mother, for shee made all or most of the Pictures of Clay, that were
made or found at any time.
Wherefore I leaue her to make good vse of the little time she hath to
repent in: but no meanes could moue her to repentance, for as shee
liued, so shee dyed.
