4.0

The Discoverie of Witchcraft, wherein the Lewde dealing of Witches and Witchmongers is notablie detected, in sixteen books ... whereunto is added a Treatise upon the Nature and Substance of Spirits and Devils of 1584 is one of the few books written in defence of those who were wrongly accused and punished of witchcraft.

It's a very good reference book for anyone interested in the folklore and mythology of England, especially regarding Witches, Wizards, Mages, Warlocks and other magic users. Best used as a dip-in-and-out kind of book.
