An Excerpt

directly qouted from Hawkings Pleas of the Crown, circa. 1771 ( f sometimes = s, tried to keep the charm of the original as much as possible):


C H A P. III.

Of Witchcraft

Sect. I Of offenders of this Nature there are faid to be three Kinds,
1. Conjurors, who by Force of certain Magick Words endeavor to raife the Devil, and compel him to execute their Commands.
2. Witches, who by way of friendly Conferences are faid to bargain with an evil Spirit to do what they defire of him.
3. Sorcerers or Charmers, who by the Ufe of certain fuperftitious Forms of Words, or by Means of Images, or other odd Reprefentations of Perfons or Things, &c. are faid to produce ftrange Effects above the ordinary Courfe of Nature.

Which type are you?
