_How can it possibly be that the Devill bring a spirit, and
wants no nutriment or sustentation, should desire to suck any
blood? and indeed as he is a spirit he cannot draw any such
excressences, having neither flesh nor bone, nor can be felt,
&c._
Ans.
He seekes not their bloud, as if he could not subsist without that
nourishment, but he often repairs to them, and gets it, the more to
aggravate the Witches damnation, and to put her in mind of her
_Covenant_; and as he is a Spirit and Prince of the ayre, he appeares
to them in any shape whatsoever, which shape is occasioned by him
through joyning of condensed thickned aire together, and many times
doth assume shapes of many creatures; but to create any thing he
cannot do it, it is only proper to God: But in this case of drawing
out of these Teats, he doth really enter into the body, reall,
corporeall, substantiall creature, and forceth that Creature (he
working in it) to his desired ends, and useth the organs of that body
to speake withall to make his compact up with the Witches, be the
creature Cat, Rat, Mouse, &c.

_When these Paps are fully discovered, yet that will not serve
sufficiently to convict them, but they must be tortured and kept
from sleep two or three nights, to distract them, and make them
say any thing; which is a way to tame a wilde Colt, or Hawke,
&c._
Ans.
