Of Sidonia's defence—Item, how she has a quarrel with Joachim Wedel, and bewitches him to death.
How a strange woman (who must assuredly have been Sidonia) incites the lieges of his Grace to great uproar and tumult in Stettin, by reason of the new tax upon beer.
Of the fearful events that take place at Marienfliess—Item, how Dorothea Stettin becomes possessed by the devil.
