The Witchcraft Delusion in New England: Its Rise, Progress, and Termination, (Vol. 1 of 3)

Chapter 85

XI. In the time of this prisoner's Trial, one _Susanna Sheldon_,[188]

in open Court had her hands Unaccountably ty'd together with a Wheel-band, so fast that without cutting, it could not be loosed: It was done by a _Spectre;_ and the Sufferer affirm'd, it was the _Prisoners_. _Memorandum._ This Rampant Hag, _Martha Carrier_, was the [43] person, of whom the Confessions of the Witches, and of her own Children among the rest, agreed, That the Devil had promised her, she should be _Queen of Hell_.[189] HAVING thus far done the Service imposed upon me; I will further pursue it, by relating a few of those Matchless CURIOSITIES, with which the _Witchcraft_ now upon us, has entertained us. And I shall Report nothing but with Good Authority, and what I would invite all my Readers to examine, while 'tis yet Fresh and New, that if there be found any mistake, it may be as willingly _Retracted_, as it was unwillingly _Committed_. _The First_ CURIOSITIE.
