CONFESSION OF ISABEL BECQUET.

Isabel, wife of Jean le Moygne, having been put to the question, at once confessed that she was a Witch:  and that upon her getting into a quarrel with the woman Girarde, who was her sister-in-law:  the Devil, in the form of a hare, took occasion to tempt her:  appearing to her in broad daylight in a road near her house:  and persuading and inciting her to give herself to him:  and that he would help her to avenge herself on the said Girarde, and everybody else:  to which persuasion she would not at the moment condescend to yield:  so he at once disappeared:  but very soon he came again to her in the same road, and pursuing his previous argument:  exhorted her in the same terms as above:  that done, he left her and went away, after having previously put her a sackful of parsnips; she then took a certain black powder wrapped in a cloth which he placed; which powder she kept by her.  He appeared to her another time under the same form in the town district, inciting her anew to give herself to him, but she not wishing to comply, he next made a request to her to give him some living animal:  whereupon she returned to her dwelling and fetched a chicken, which she carried to him to the same place where she had left him, and he took it:  and after having thanked her he made an appointment for her to be present the next morning before daylight at the Sabbath, promising that he would send for her:  according to which promise, during the ensuing night, the old woman Collette du Mont, came to fetch her, and gave her some black ointment, which she had had from the Devil; with this (after having stripped herself) she anointed her back and belly, then having dressed herself again she went out of her house door:  when she was instantly caught up:  and carried across hedges and bushes to the bank on the sea shore, in the neighbourhood of Rocquaine Castle, the usual place where the Devil kept his Sabbath; no sooner had she arrived there than the Devil came to her in the form of a dog, with two great horns sticking up:  and with one of his paws (which seemed to her like hands) took her by the hand:  and calling her by her name told her that she was welcome:  then immediately the Devil made her kneel down:  while he himself stood up on his hind legs; he then made her express detestation of the Eternal in these words:  I renounce God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost; and then caused her to worship and invoke himself in these terms:  Our Great Master, help us! with a special compact to be
