"If any wicca, or wiglaer, or false swearer, or morthwyrtha, or any foul contaminated, manifest horcwenan, be anywhere in the land, they shall be driven out."

"We teach that every priest shall extinguish heathendom, and forbid wilweorthunga (fountain worship), and licwiglunga (incantations of the dead), and hwata (omens), and galdra (magic), and man worship, and the abominations that men exercise in various sorts of witchcraft, and in frithspottum (peace-enclosures) with elms and other trees, and with stones, and with many phantoms."

-16th century Canon Law under King Edgar
