children, and caused the death of many animals, as recorded in the
informations thereupon laid, it follows that they are clearly
convicted and proved to be Witches. In expiation of which crime it has
been ordered by the Court that the said women shall be presently
conducted, with halters about their necks, to the usual place of
punishment, and shall there be fastened by the Executioner to a
gallows, and be hanged, strangled, killed, and burnt, until their
flesh and bones are reduced to ashes, and the ashes shall be
scattered; and all their goods, chattels, and estates, if any such
exist, shall be forfeited to His Majesty. In order to make them
disclose their accomplices, they shall be put to the question before
the Court, previous to being executed.
