18th April, 1632

The woman, Joan Holt, has confessed. After an hour in the strappado, she gave her confession - that Sloan had forced herm to assist him in various blasphemous rituals, such as cavorting with demons on Midsummers eve, and summoning forth a spirit to do his bidding. She maintains that she has never entered into any unholy pacts herself, instead being forced to help Sloan under pain of death and damnation at the hands of the devils he summoned forth. Father Blane was with me, and has written down her confession as she spoke. However, I intend to administer one last test - the Trial by Holy Bread. Father Blane has already requisitioned some from the local church, and so tomorrow we will determine before God whether her confession is true, or not.

"Those who are not completely steeped in blasphemy may yet be saved, and their souls purified, and sent unto God."
