II. The Court being sensible, that the Testimonies of the Parties Bewitched, use to have a Room among the Suspicions, or Presumptions, brought in against one Indicted for Witchcraft, there were now heard the Testimonies of several Persons, who were most notoriously Bewitched, and every day Tortured by Invisible Hands, and these now all charged the Spectres of G. B. to have a share in their Torments. At the Examination of this G. B. the Bewitched People were grievously harassed, with Preternatural Mischiefs, which could not possibly be Dissembled; and they still ascribed it unto the Endeavours of G. B. to kill them. And •ow upon his Trial, one of the Bewitched Persons testified, That in her Agonies, a little Black […] man came to her, saying his Name was […] bidding her set her hand unto a Book which▪ […] showed unto her; and bragging that he was a ⟨p. 96⟩Conjurer above the ordinary Rank of Witches; That he often persecuted her, with the offer of that Book, saying, She should be well, and need fear no body, if she would but Sign it: but he inflicted cruel Pains and Hurts upon her, because of her Denying so to do. The Testimonies of the other Sufferers concurred with these; and it was I markable, that whereas Biting, was one of the ways which the Witches used, for the vexing of the Sufferers, when they cried out of G. B. biting them, the print of the Teeth, would be seen on the Flesh of the Complainers; and just such a set of Teeth, as G. B.'s would then appear upon them, which could be distinguished from those of some other mens. Others of them testified, That in their Torments, G. B. tempted them, to go unto a Sacrament, unto which they perceived him with a sound of Trumpet Summoning of other Witches▪ who quickly after the Sound would come from all Quarters unto the Rendezvous. One of them falling into a kind of Trance, afterwards affirmed, That G. B. had carried her into a very high Mountain, where he showed her mighty and glorious Kingdoms, and said, He would give them all to her, if she would write in his Book; but she told him, They were none of his to give; and refused the motions; enduring of much misery for that Refusal.
