and kept the same venome
close couered, vntill she should obtaine any parte or peece of foule
linnen cloth, that had appertained to the Kings Maiestie, as shirt,
handkercher, napkin or any other thing which she practised to obtaine by
meanes of one _Iohn Kers_, who being attendant in his Maiesties Chamber,
desired him for olde acquaintance betweene them, to helpe her to one or a
peece of such a cloth as is aforesaide, which thing the said _Iohn Kers_
denyed to helpe her too, saying he could not help her too it.

And the said _Agnis Tompson_ by her depositions since her apprehension
saith, that if she had obtained any one peece of linnen cloth which the
King had worne and fouled, she had bewitched him to death, and put him to
such extraordinary paines, as if he had beene lying vpon sharp thornes and
endes of Needles.

Moreouer she confessed that at the time when his Maiestie was in Denmarke,
she being accompanied with the parties before specially named, tooke a Cat
and christened it, and afterward bound to each parte of that Cat, the
cheefest partes of a dead man, and seuerall ioynts of his bodie, and that

aforesaide, and so left the saide Cat right before the Towne of Lieth in
Scotland: this doone, there did arise such a tempest in the Sea, as a
greater hath not beene seene: which tempest was the cause of the
perrishing of a Boate or vessell comming ouer from the towne of Brunt
Iland to the towne of Lieth, wherein was sundrye Iewelles and riche
giftes, which should haue been presented to the now Queen of Scotland, at
her Maiesties comming to Lieth.

Againe it is confessed, that the said christened Cat was the cause that
the Kinges Maiesties Ship at his comming foorth of Denmarke, had a
contrary winde to the rest of his Ships, then being in his companye, which
thing was most strange and true, as the Kings Maiestie acknowledgeth, for
when the rest of the Shippes had a faire and good winde, then was the
winde contrarye and altogither against his Maiestie: and further the saide
witche declared, that his Maiestie had neuer come safelye from the Sea, if
his faith had not preuailed aboue their ententions.

Moreouer the said Witches being demaunded how the Diuell would vse them
when he was in their company, they confessed that when the Diuell did
receiue them for his seruants, and that the
