Being demaunded further by his Lordship, Whether she knew _Iohan a
Style_?[P2_a_2] she alledged, she knew no such wom[=a] to be there,
neither did she euer heare her name.
This could be no forged or false Accusation, but the very Act of GOD
to discouer her.
Thus was no meanes left to doe her all indifferent fauour, but it was
vsed to saue her life; and to this shee could giue no answere.
But nothing would serue: for old _Dembdike_, old _Chattox_, and
others, had charged her with innocent bloud, which cries out for
Reuenge, and will be satisfied. And therefore Almightie GOD, in his
Iustice, hath cut her off.
And here I leaue her, vntill shee come to her Execution, where you
shall heare shee died very impenitent; insomuch as her owne children
were neuer able to moue her to confesse any particular offence, or
declare any thing, euen in _Articulo Mortis_: which was a very
fearefull thing to all that were present, who knew shee was guiltie.
