A Treatise of Witchcraft

A sermonlike treatise sets out propositions and arguments that expose witchcraft as a wicked art, blending theological reflection, legal citation, and pastoral admonition. It presents a detailed narration of a woman's confessed dealings with the Devil, supported by examination records and an account of her trial and execution. The author distinguishes between secretive, disguised impiety and credulous practitioners vulnerable to demonic promises, and then examines motives, methods, and consequences ascribed to such practices. Short analytical sections and propositions are interwoven with the narrative to guide religious leaders and civic authorities in discernment, prosecution, and spiritual remedy.
