Extrait: ...s'appelait Danis, qu'il etait sorcier depuis vingt ans, qu'il lui avait en effet donne le sort dont il avait ete afflige, que ce sort devait durer un an; qu'il n'en avait ete gueri au bout de huit semaines qu'a la faveur des neuvaines qu'on avait faites; que le malefice etait retombe sur lui Danis, et qu'il se recommandait a sa misericorde.

Extrait: ...s'appelait Danis, qu'il etait sorcier depuis vingt ans, qu'il lui avait en effet donne le sort dont il avait ete afflige, que ce sort devait durer un an; qu'il n'en avait ete gueri au bout de huit semaines qu'a la faveur des neuvaines qu'on avait faites; que le malefice etait retombe sur lui Danis, et qu'il se recommandait a sa misericorde. Puis, comme les archers le poursuivaient, le berger tua ses chiens, jeta sa houlette, changea d'habits, se refugia a Torcy, fit penitence et mourut au bout de quelques jours...

Car ceux qui en sont atteints sortent de leurs maisons au mois de fevrier, contrefont les loups presques en toute chose, et toute nuict ne font que courir par les coemetieres et autour des sepulchres, tellement qu'on descouvre incontinent en eux une merveilleuse alteration de cerveau, surtout en l'imagination et pensee miserablement corrompue: en telle sorte que leur memoire a quelque vigueur, comme je l'ay remarque en un de ces melancholiques lycanthropes que nous appelons loups-garoux. Car lui qui me conoissoit bien, estant un jour saisi de son mal, et me rencontrant, je me tiray a quartier craignant qu'il m'offensast.
