Discussion about papist witchcraft and sin, then the confession/interrogation of John Walk, lived in a parish and practiced as a physician, he would open a book of his master’s that had great circles in it, which would summon three spirits that could tell him who was bewitched, he admitted to having his master’s familiar in the shape of a dog, man, etc. for a few years, he gave it a drop of his blood, he said they have no purpose but retrieving stolen items, he could make men and women sick by making wax figurines of them, also had a ceremony that could kill people he wished, said he never used them however
