gave her a chair to sit upon, although _Dom. Camerarius_ grumbled thereat,
and these were the chief questions which were put to her by order of the most honourable high central court, as _Dom. Consul_ said, and which were registered _ad protocollum_. _Q_. Whether she could bewitch? _R_. Yes, she could bewitch. _Q_. Who taught her to do so? _R_. Satan himself. _Q_. How many devils had she? _R_. One devil was enough for her. _Q_. What was this devil called? _Illa_ (considering). His name was _Disidaemonia_. Hereat _Dom. Consul_ shuddered, and said that that must be a very terrible devil indeed, for that he had never heard such a name before, and that she must spell it, so that _Scriba_ might make no _error_; which she did, and he then went on as follows:-- _Q_. In what shape had he appeared to her? _R_. In the shape of the Sheriff, and sometimes as a goat with terrible horns. |
