Christian Reader, I have upon occasion penned this short discourse, and that of such a subject wherewith not being well acquainted, am enforced to crave some direction from those, whose names you shall find remembered in the same : (that I be not unthankful unto those from whom I receive instruction) and have in former time, and latter days, taken pains in searching out, both the speculative, and practical parts of this damnable Art of Witchcraft, a dangerous and seducing invention of Sathan, who from the Arsenals, and store-houses of his ancient and mischievous furniture, hath not spared to afford all help, and the best Engines for the subverting of souls, pliable to his allurements : and to this end, beside a plain narration of fact in this case committed and confessed, I have added thereunto a few Propositions, agreeing to such a subject matter, manifesting some special points not altogether impertinent in my opinion, nor unworthy of due consideration : A manifest contract made with the Devil, and by the solemn terms of a league, which is the ground of all the pernicious actions proceeding from those sorts of people, who are, have been, and shall be practitioners in that cursed and hellish Art.
