[27] The second part of Glanvill's _Sadducismus Triumphatus_ is full of
these depositions.
[28] For a full account of this affair see Glanvill's _Sadducismus
Triumphatus_, pt. ii, preface and Relation I. Glanvill had investigated
the matter and had diligently collected all the evidence. He was
familiar also with what the "deriders" had to say, and we can discover
their point of view from his answers. See also John Beaumont, _An
Historical, Physiological and Theological Treatise of Spirits,
Apparitions, Witchcrafts, and other Magical Practices_ (London, 1705),
307-309.

[31] We have two accounts of this affair: _Strange and Wonderful News
from Yowell in Surry_ (1681), and _An Account of the Tryal and
Examination of Joan Buts_ (1682).
