Some Miscellany OBSERVATIONS On our present Debates respecting Witchcrafts, in a Dialogue Between S. & B. By P.E. and J.A. Philadelphia, Printed by William Bradford, for Hezekiah Usher. 1692.
Sir,
S. I Understand that you and many others are greatly dissatisfied at the Proceedings among us, in the pursuance of those that have been Accused for Witchcraft, and have accordingly sought to obstruct them; which I am afraid will prove pernicious to the Land; and that for more reasons than one; principally in the hazard of Breaches and Divisions among us, which tend to some unhappy Change; and somebody will be to blame.

B. Sir, the Peace of a Place is earnestly to be sought, and they that sinfully […], will be guilty of all the miserable affects of them that whether this blame will truly fall upon you or us, is to be considered: there is an earnest contending for the Truth requisite, and that is not to be parted with for Peace.
