The Triumph of God’s Revenge against the Crying and Execrable Sin of Murther.
A French History.
History XIII. [History 13/30]
La Vasselay poisoneth her Waitingsmaid, Gratiana, because she is jealous that her Husband De Merson is dishonest with her; whereupon he lives from her: in revenge whereof she causeth her man La Villete to murther him in a Wood, and then marries him in requital. The said La Villete, a year after, riding thorow the same Wood, his horse falls with him, and almost kills him; when he confesseth the murther of his Master, De Merson, and accuseth his Wife, La Vasselay, to be the cause thereof: so for these their bloody crimes, he is hanged, and she burnt alive.
