House, he at last started a Hare: The Dogs hunted her very close, and the third Ring hunted her in view, till at last the Huntsman perceiving the Hare almost spent, and making toward a great Bush, he ran on the other side of the Bush to take her up, and preserve her from the Dogs; but as soon as he laid Hands on her, it proved to be Julian Cox, who had her Head groveling on the ground, and her Globes (as he exprest it) upward: He knowing her, was so affrighted that his Hair on his Head stood an end; and yet spake to her, and askt her what brought her there; but she was so far out of Breath, that she could not make him any Answer: His Dogs also came up with full Cry to recover the Game, and smelt at her, and so left off Hunting any farther. And the Huntsman with his Dogs went home presently, sadly affrighted.
Secondly, Another Witness Swore, That as he passed by Cox her Door, she was taking a Pipe of Tobacco upon the Threshold of her Door, and invited him to come in and take a Pipe, which he did, and as he was Smoaking, Julian said to him, Neighbour, look what a pretty thing there is: He lookt down and there was a monstrous great Toad betwixt his Legs, staring him in the Face: He endeavour'd to kill it by spurning it, but could not hit it: Whereupon Julian bade him forbear, and it would do him no hurt; but he threw down his Pipe and went home, (which was about two Miles off of Julian Cox her House) and told his Family what had happen'd, and that he believed it was one of Julian Cox her Devils.

Thirdly, Another Swore, That Julian past by his Yard while his Beasts were in Milking, and stooping down, scored upon the ground for some small time; during which time, his Cattle ran Mad, and some ran their Heads against the Trees, and most of them died speedily: Whereupon concluding they were Bewitcht, he was after advised to this Experiment, to find out the Witch, viz. to cut off the Ears of the Bewitcht Beasts, and burn them, and that the Witch should be in misery, and could not rest till they were pluckt out; which he tried, and while
