De Salez  killeth  Vaumartin  in a Duel. La Hay  causeth  Michaelle to poyson La Frange. De Salez loves La Hay; and, because his Father  Argentier  will not consent that he marry her, stifleth him in his bed, and then takes her to his Wife; she turns strumpet, and cuts his throat: as he is dying, he  accuseth  her of this bloody fact, and himself for murthering his Father  Argentier:  so  his dead body is hang’d to the Gallows, then burnt; La Hay  confesseth  this Murther, and likewise that she caused Michaelle to poyson La Frange: she hath her right hand cut off, and is then burnt alive; Michaelle is broken on the Wheel, and his dead body thrown into the River.
