An historical essay concerning witchcraft. With observations upon matters of fact; tending to clear the texts of the sacred Scriptures, and confute the vulgar errors about that point. And also two sermons: one in proof of the Christian religion; the other concerning the good and evil angels. By Francis Hutchinson, D.D. Chaplain in Ordinary to His Majesty, and Minister of St. James's Parish in St. Edmund's-Bury.
Francis Hutchinson (1661-1739) Bishop of Down and Connor
