CHAPTER X

The Laws Observed by Witches in Causing and in Curing Sickness.

Argument.

EVEN as witches always see their way clearly to any evil, so they find many difficulties and obstacles when they would do good or heal. For what time witches would bring disease or death, everything is ready, everything at hand for them; all kinds of poison, curses, spells, and enchantments. With all these the devil is prompt, and with the witches’ consent always undertakes the work of doing harm. This he does to earn their gratitude by gaining them the vengeance they have so ardently desired, and he is able to provide means which, it seems, no human art or skill can combat. At the same time it is in his power to keep the witch clear of all suspicion, when he acts in their absence without their stirring even a finger to help him. But when it is a question of restoring health or saving life, then there are never wanting opposing forces to combat such an intention.
