The discovery of witchcraft
proving, that the compacts and contracts of witches with devils and all infernal spirits or familiars, are but erroneous novelties and imaginary conceptions : also discovering, how far their power extendeth in killing, tormenting, consuming, or curing the bodies of men, women, children, or animals, by charms, philtres, periapts, pentacles, curses, and conjurations : wherein likewise the unchristian practices and inhumane dealings of searchers and witch-tryers upon aged, melancholly, and superstitious people, in extorting confessions by terrors and tortures, and in devising false marks and symptoms, are notably detected : and the knavery of juglers, conjurers, charmers, soothsayers, figure-casters, dreamers, alchymists and philterers; with many other things that have long lain hidden, fully opened and deciphered : all which are very necessary to be known for the undeceiving of judges, justices, and jurors, before they pass sentence upon poor, miserable and ignorant people; who are frequently arraigned, condemned, and executed for witches and wizzards : in sixteen books
