which was the Tuesday next before his apprehension; when as hee could

The said _Iennet Deuice_, his Sister, in the very end of her
Examination against the said _Iames Deuice_, confesseth and saith,
that her Mother taught her two Prayers: the one to get drinke, which
was this. _viz._
_Crucifixus hoc signum vitam
Eternam._ Amen.
And shee further saith, That her Brother _Iames Deuice_, the Prisoner
at the Barre, hath confessed to her this Examinate, that he by this
Prayer hath gotten drinke: and that within an houre after the saying
the said Prayer, drinke hath come into the house after a very strange
manner. And the other Prayer, the said _Iames Deuice_ affirmed, would
cure one bewitched, which shee recited as followeth. _viz._
_A Charme._[K_b_1]
_Vpon Good-Friday, I will fast while I may
Vntill I heare them knell
Our Lords owne Bell,
Lord in his messe
With his twelue Apostles good,
What hath he in his hand
Ligh in leath wand:[K_b_2]
What hath he in his other hand?
Heauens doore key,
Open, open Heauen doore keyes,
Steck, steck hell doore.
Let Crizum child
Goe to it Mother mild,[K_b_3]
What is yonder that casts a light so farrandly,[K_b_4]
Mine owne deare Sonne that's naild to the Tree.
He is naild sore by the heart and hand,
And holy harne Panne,
Well is that man
That Fryday spell can,
His Childe to learne;
A Crosse of Blew, and another of Red,
As good Lord was to the Roode._
Gabriel _laid him downe to sleepe
Vpon the ground of holy weepe:[K2_a_1]
Good Lord came walking by,
Sleep'st thou, wak'st thou_ Gabriel,
_No Lord I am sted with sticke and stake,
That I can neither sleepe nor wake:
Rise vp_ Gabriel _and goe with me,
The stick nor the stake shall neuer deere thee.[K2_a_2]
Sweete Iesus our Lord, Amen._
