Qu'on baille a baiser la paix comme a l'Eglise, & que cela semble vne tuille, & qu'on y baille vn denier ou vn double allant a l'offrande, l'eau beniste est iaune comme du p.i.s.sat d'asne, & qu'apres qu'on la iettee on dit la Messe, & que c'est le Diable qui la dit, qu'il a vne Chasuble qui a vne croix: mais qu'elle n'a que trois barres: & tourne le dos a l'Autel quand il veut leuer l'Hostie & le Calice, qui sont noirs, & marmote dans vn liure, duquel la couuerture est toute velue comme d'vne peau de loup, auec des feuillets blancs & rouges, d'autres noirs.

Et quand ledit homme noir a iette, ou iette de l'eau beniste, chacun des a.s.sistans, se iette en terre comme on faict a l'Eglise sur la fosse des trespa.s.sez, auec vn morceau de hou qui a trois feuilles au bout. Apres la Messe on dance, puis on couche ensemble, hommes auec hommes, & auec des femmes. Puis on se met a table, ou il n'a iamais veu de sel. Et n'y a autre viande que grenouille & anguilles, & point de vin ains de l'eau.

Dit qu'il a cognu des hommes & s'est accouple auec eux; qu'il auoit vne couppe ou gondolle par le moyen de laquelle toutes les femmes le suiuoient pour y boire.

Qu'au Sabbat on y blasphemoit souuent, disant chardieu, c'est vne belle chose qu'ils font blanchir pour qu'on la voye de plus loing, & puis la mangent, & quand ils l'ont mange il n'y en a plus, que les Prestres font cela pour amuser le monde, & que c'est vn beau Ianicot, qu'il y auoit plus d'acquest en sa Marionette qu'en Dieu. Et auoit veu souuent la Marionette dudit Neuillon, qui est comme vn gros c.r.a.paut tout noir, comme d'vne fourrure noire, & estoit dans vne boette cache soubs vn carreau, qui sautoit & leuoit quand on vouloit donner a manger audit c.r.a.paut. Qu'il l'a veu encore puis six sepmaines en la ruelle du lict dudict Neuillon, & qu'il a veu qu'il l'apportoit vne autre fois dans son manteau, qu'il luy a dit vne douzaine de fois, que s'il vouloit il luy en feroit auoir vne. Qu'il y auoit plus profit en icelle qu'en Dieu, & qu'il ne gagnoit rien a regarder Dieu: mais que sa Marionette luy apportoit tousiours quelque chose.

Confesse auoir faict mourir plusieurs personnes, & qu'il scait faire dancer les bufs dans vn cercle qu'il fait, & qu'vne vieille luy apprins.

Ils furent cond.a.m.nez, par sentence a estre pendus & bruslez. Appel en la Cour, ou au rapport de Monsieur Berulle, Conseiller en la seconde Chambre des Enquestes, deux Sorciers moururent. Cependant Gentien le Clerc seul, fut cond.a.m.ne par Arrest du 4 Feurier 1615.
