The day after Mother Alice Samuel, Agnes Samuel and John Samuel are condemned to death, numerous "godly men" come to Huntingdon Gaol to "perswade the condemned parties to repentance, and to confesse their sinnes to the world, and crave pardon at Gods mercifull hands." Mother Samuel, when asked directly whether she bewitched Lady Cromwell, denies it. John, hearing her denial, tells her to "denie it not, but confesse the trueth: for thou didst it one way or other."(112)
