WITCH-CONTROVERSY.
The public agitation over supernatural questions continued to form a
background to popular thought, as is seen in the tracts of Nashe and Dekker,
broadsides, news-sheets and in the dramatists. For origins of this phase of
superstition in the social disorders of the late 15th and 16th cents. , and for the
beginning of daemonology in Jacob Sprenger's Malleus Maleficarum, see

The whole dispute was enhanced by controversies over particular cases of
witchcraft, such as the paper war waged between John Darrell and George
More on the one side, and by Samuel Harsnet, John Deacon and John Walker
on the other, over the possession and dispossession of William Somers, and
over 'the strange and grevous vexation by the Devil' of seven persons in
Lancashire. The whole country was thown into excitement over the Lanca-
shire trials of 1612 (the case is reported in a pamphlet by Thomas Potts, 1612)
and great interest was aroused by cases of imposture, of which the most
celebrated was that of the 'Boy of Bilson. He feigned fits and 'cast out of
his mouth rags, thred, straw, crooked pins' when in the presence of a certain
woman, who was promptly arrested as a witch. These episodes led to the
production of such works as: Witches apprehended, examined and executed,
for notable villapies. . . . With a strange and true triall how to know whether a
woman be a Witch or not, 1613; A Treatise of Witchcraft . . . with a true
narration of the witchcrafts which Mary Smith . . . did practise . . . and lastly
of her death and execution, 1616; The Wonderful Discoverie of the Witch-
crafts of Margaret and Phillip Flower, . . . 1618.
