Here, King James I hated witchcraft and called it "wicked and ungodlye [ungodly]":

"Upon great consideration therefore taken by the Kings maiestie
and his Councell, as well for the due execution of iustice vppon
such detestable malefactors, as also for example sake, to remayne
a terrour to all others heereafter, that shall attempt to deale in the lyke wicked and vngodlye actions, as witchcraft, sorcery,
cuniuration, & such lyke,"

(Discourse, Pages 79-80 of Demonology).
