English term or phrase: paw wa
No encuentro esta expresión por ningún lado y creo que no es ningún typo porque aparece varias veces en el texto. Éste es uno de los contextos:

"History is fruitful of particulars, whether invention has supplied them or not, I will not say, where the Devil is brought upon the stage in plain and undeniable apparition: the story of Samuel being raised by the witch of Endor, I shall leave quite out of my list, because there are so many scruples and objections against that story; and as I shall not dispute with the Scripture, so, on the other hand, I have so much deference for the dignity of the Devil, as not to determine rashly how far it may be in the power of every old (witch) woman, to call him up whenever she pleases, and that he must come, whatever the pretence is, or whatevei business of consequence he may be engaged in, as often as it is needful for her to paw wa for half a crown, or perhaps less than half the money."

Explanation:
Creo que tendrás que poner una nota de traducción. Esto es al parecer una palabra india que usa el autor en el texto, tal cual.
