III. The ==Examination==, was begun with a Day of ==Humiliation==;

appointed by Authority.[203] Whereupon the Commissioners ==Consulting==, how they might resist such a Dangerous Flood, the ==Suffering Children==, were first Examined; and tho' they were [49] Questioned ==One== by ==One== apart, yet their ==Declarations All Agreed==. The ==Witches== Accus'd in these Declarations, were then Examined; and tho' at first they obstinately ==Denied==, yet at length many of them ingenuously ==Confessed== the Truth of what the children had said; owning with Tears, that the ==Devil==, whom they call'd _Loeyta_, had stopt their ==Mouths==; but he being now ==Gone== from them, they could ==No Longer Conceal== the Business. The things by them ==Acknowledged==, most wonderfully ==Agreed== with what other Witches, in other places had confessed.
