Chapter 27

M. Holt in Fleet Street, 1708.

_The Witch of the Woodlands; Or, The Cobler’s New Translation._ Printed and Sold in Aldermary Church Yard, Bow Lane, London. No date, but about 1710. This pamphlet merely relates an old legend, but is interesting as reproducing with appropriate woodcuts intimate details of the mediæval Sabbat. _An Account of the Tryal, Examination, and Condemnation of Jane Wenham, on an Indictment of Witchcraft, for Bewitching of Matthew Gilston and Anne Thorne of Walcorne, in the County of Hertford...._ _A Full and Impartial Account of the Discovery of Sorcery and Witchcraft, Practis’d by Jane Wenham of Walkerne in Hertfordshire, upon the bodies of Anne Thorn, Anne Street, &c. ... till she ... receiv’d Sentence of Death for the same, March 4, 1711-12._ London, 1712. _Witchcraft Farther Display’d. Containing (I) An Account of the Witchcraft practis’d by Jane Wenham of Walkerne, in Hertfordshire, since her Condemnation, upon the bodies of Anne Thorne and Anne Street.... (II) An Answer to the most general Objections against the Being and Power of Witches: With some Remarks upon the Case of Jane Wenham in particular, and on Mr. Justice Powel’s procedure therein...._ London, 1712. _A Full Confutation of Witchcraft: More particularly of the Depositions against Jane Wenham, Lately Condemned for a Witch; at Hertford. In which the Modern Notions of Witches are overthrown, and the Ill Consequences of such Doctrines are exposed by Arguments; proving that, Witchcraft is Priestcraft.... In a Letter from a Physician in Hertfordshire, to his Friend in London._ London, 1712. _The Impossibility of Witchcraft, Plainly Proving, From Scripture and Reason, That there never was a Witch; and that it is both Irrational and Impious to believe there ever was. In which the Depositions against Jane Wenham, Lately Try’d and Condemned for a Witch, at Hertford, are Confuted and Expos’d._ London, 1712. _The Belief of Witchcraft Vindicated; proving from Scripture, there have been Witches; and from Reason, that there may be Such still. In answer to a late Pamphlet, Intituled, The Impossibility of Witchcraft...._ By G. R., A.M. London, 1712. _The Case of the Hertfordshire Witchcraft Consider’d. Being an Examination of a book entitl’d, A Full and Impartial Account...._ London, 1712. _A Defense of the Proceedings against Jane Wenham, wherein the Possibility and Reality of Witchcraft are Demonstrated from Scripture.... In Answer to Two Pamphlets Entituled: (I) The Impossibility of Witchcraft, etc. (II) A Full Confutation of Witchcraft._ By Francis Bragge, A.B., London, 1712. _The Impossibility of Witchcraft Further Demonstrated, Both from Scripture and Reason ... with some Cursory Remarks on two trifling Pamphlets in Defense of the existence of Witches._ 1712. _An Account of The Tryals, Examination and Condemnation of Elinor Shaw and Mary Phillips (Two notorious Witches) on Wednesday the 7th of March, 1705, for Bewitching a Woman, and two children.... With an Account of their strange Confessions._ This is signed at the end, “Ralph Davis, March 8, 1705.” It was followed very shortly by a completer account, written after the execution, and entitled: _The Northamptonshire Witches, Being a true and faithful account of the Births, Educations, Lives, and Conversations of Elinor Shaw and Mary Phillips (The two notorious Witches) That were Executed at Northampton on Saturday, March the 11th, 1705 ... with their full Confession to the Minister, and last Dying Speeches at the place of Execution, the like never before heard of.... Communicated in a Letter last Post, from Mr. Ralph Davis of Northampton, to Mr. William Simons, Merchantt in London._ London, 1705. _The Whole Trial and Examination of Mrs. Mary Hicks and her Daughter Elizabeth, But of Nine Years of Age, who were Condemn’d the last Assizes held at Huntingdon for Witchcraft, and there Executed on Saturday, the 28th of July, 1716 ... the like never heard before; their Behaviour with several Divines who came to converse with ’em whilst under their sentence of Death; and last Dying Speeches and Confession at the place of execution._ London, 1716. There is a copy in the Bodleian Library. (These last three pamphlets are almost certainly spurious.) _A Terrible and seasonable Warning to young Men. Being a very particular and True Relation of one Abraham Joiner a young Man about 17 or 18 Years of Age, living in Shakesby’s Walks in Shadwell, being a Ballast Man by Profession, who on Saturday Night last pick’d up a leud Woman, and spent what Money he had about him in Treating her, saying afterwards if she wou’d have any more he must go to the Devil for it, and slipping out of her Company, he went to the Cock and Lyon in King Street, the Devil appear’d to him, and gave him a Pistole, ... appointing to meet him the next Night at the World’s End at Stepney; Also how his Brother perswaded him to throw the Money away, which he did; but was suddenly Taken in a very strange manner; so that they were fain to send for the Reverend Mr. Constable and other Ministers to pray with him, he appearing now to be very Penitent...._ Printed for J. Dulton, near Fleet Street. _Circa_ 1718. _A Timely Warning to Rash and Disobedient Children Being a strange and wonderful Relation of a young Gentleman in the Parish of Stepheny in the Suburbs of London, that sold himself to the Devil for 12 years to have the Power of being revenged on his Father and Mother, and how his Time being expired, he lay in a sad and deplorable Condition to the Amazement of all Spectators._ Edinburgh: Printed Anno 1721. _The Kentish Miracle, Or, a Seasonable Warning to all Sinners Shewn in The Wonderful Relation of one Mary Moore, whose Husband died some time ago, and left her with two Children, who was reduced to great Want.... How the Devil appeared to her, and the many great Offers he made to her to deny Christ, and enter into his Service; and how she confounded Satan by powerful Arguments ... with an Account how an Angel appeared to her and relieved her...._ Edinburgh: Printed in the Year 1741. (This is probably a reprint. The style of the pamphlet seems some thirty or forty years earlier.) _Trial of Thomas Colley, to which is annexed some Further Particulars of the Affair from the Mouth of John Osborne._ 1751. (The trial took place at Hertford Assizes, 30 July, 1751.) _Remarkable Confession and Last Dying Words of Thomas Colley._ 1751.
