Mosse end, and _Iohn_ her sonne amongst others, &c.
And this Examinate further saith, That all the said Witches went out
of the said house in their own shapes and likenesses: and they all, by
that they were forth of the dores, were gotten on horse-backe, like
vnto Foales, some of one colour, and some of another, and _Prestons_
wife was the last: and when shee got on horse-backe, they all
presently vanished out of this Examinates sight.
And further he saith, That the said _Iohn Bulcock_ and _Iane_ his said
Mother, did confesse vpon Good-Friday last at the said Malking-Tower,
in the hearing of this Examinate, That they had bewitched, at the
new-field Edge in Yorkeshire, a woman called _Iennet_, wife of _Iohn
Deyne_, besides, her reason; and the said Womans name so bewitched, he
did not heare them speake of. And this Examinate further saith, That
at the said Feast at Malking-Tower this Examinate heard them all giue
their consents to put the said Master _Thomas Lister_ of Westby[Q4_a_]
to death. And after Master _Lister_ should be made away by
Witch-craft, then all the said Witches gaue their consents to ioyne
