"Among My Books First Series"


Accessit liber apologeticus et pseudomonarchia daemonum. Cum rerum et
verborum copioso indice. Cum Caes. Maiest. Regisq: Galliarum gratia
et privelegio. Basiliae ex officina Oporiniani, 1583.
Scot's Discovery of Witchcraft: proving the common opinions of
Witches contracting with Divels, Spirits, or Familiars; and their
power to kill, torment, and consume the bodies of men, women, and
children, or other creatures by diseases or otherwise; their flying
in the Air, &c.; To be but imaginary Erronious conceptions and
novelties; Wherein also the lewde, unchristian practises of
Witchmongers, upon aged, melancholy, ignorant and superstitious
people in extorting confessions by inhumane terrors and Tortures, is
notably detected. Also The knavery and confederacy of Conjurors. The
impious blasphemy of Inchanters. The imposture of Soothsayers, and
infidelity of Atheists. The delusion of Pythonists, Figure-casters,
Astrologers, and vanity of Dreamers. The fruitlesse beggarly art of
Alchimistry. The horrible art of Poisoning and all the tricks and
conveyances of juggling and lieger-demain are fully deciphered. With
many other things opened that have long lain hidden: though very
necessary to be known for the undeceiving of Judges, Justices, and
Juries, and for the preservation of poor, aged, deformed, ignorant
people; frequently taken, arraigned, condemned and executed for
Witches, when according to a right understanding, and a good
conscience, Physick, Food, and necessaries should be administered to
him.
