This was reported to the Elector, who had careful search made in Lippold's house.
But when the fire was taking effect on his body and upon the magic book, a great mouse came out from under the scaffold, and leaped into the fire.

The magic book was found, and, when it was examined by those who understood it, Lippold's guilt was clearly established. He had practised magical arts to give him power over the Elector, and to enable him to rule the whole country; and it was only the piety and Godfearingness of the Elector which had enabled him to withstand those spells. Lippold was burned in the market-place.
