Pen neer the Covent of Eluthery, author of "A Pleasant Treatise of Witches," claims that wizards and witches will often meet in a place and time appointed with the Devil, who "appears to them in humane shape." During these meetings the Devil will ask "if the party will renounce the Christian Faith, the Sacraments, and tread upon the Cross," after which the Devil gives "his hand, adding moreover, that this is not alone sufficient, but that he will have an homage also."(2)

Pen neer the Covent of Eluthery, author of "A Pleasant Treatise of Witches," claims that "In the Year 1553. two Witches stoe a Child from her neighbour, kild it, cut it in peices, and put it into a Kittle to boil, when the sorrowful Mother looking for her infant, came by chance into the house, and found the limbs thereof horribly consumed."(3-4)

Pen neer the Covent of Eluthery, author of "A Pleasant Treatise of Witches," claims that all witches and wizards have "a Spirit or Imp attending on, and assigned to them, which never leave those to whom they are subject, but assist and render them all the service they command."(4-5)

Pen neer the Covent of Eluthery, author of "A Pleasant Treatise of Witches," claims that witches have appointments and meetings with other witches "which are ordinarily on Tuesday or Wednesday night." Before these meetings, the witches "strip themselves naked, and anoint themselves with their Oyntments. Then are they carryed out of the house, either by the Window, Door, or Chimney, mounted on their Imps in the form of a Goat, Sheep, or Dragon." Once at the meeting the witches "make their accustomed homage, Adoring, and Proclaiming" to Lucifer who "takes his place in his Throne as King."(4-5)

Pen neer the Covent of Eluthery, author of "A Pleasant Treatise of Witches," claims that when witches and wizards gather together "the pleasant consort [the Devil] invites them to a Ball; but the dance is strange, and wonderful, as well as diabolical, for turning themselves back to back; they take one another by the arms and raise each other from the ground, then shake their heads to a fro like Anticks, & turn themselves as if they were mad." Following this, "the Incubus's in the shap[e]s of proper men satisfy the desires of the Witches, and the Succubus's serve for whores to the WIzards." (5-6)
