How Dr Faustus made seven women dance naked in the market place.
FAUSTUS walking in the market saw seven women sitting all in a row selling eggs, butter, &c. Of every one he bought something and departed. No sooner was he gone, but all the eggs and butter were gone out of their baskets, and they knew not how: at last they were told, that Dr Faustus had conjured their goods away; they thereupon ran speedily to the doctor's, and demanded satisfaction for their ware; he resolving to make himself and the town's people merry by his conjuring art, made them return to their baskets naked as ever ever they were born; and having danced awhile in the market place, every one's goods were conjured into their baskets again, and be set them at their liberty.
