and so Famous, and so many Pious, Understanding Persons minded it, that suspition of Fraud was by their Diligence avoided. ‘_The Narrative as lately sent me from most Credible Persons in_ Evesham, _is as followeth_: ‘About the Month of _April_ 1652 _Mary_, the daughter of _Edward Ellins_, of the Burrough of _Evesham_, in the County of _Worcester_, Gardner, then about nine or ten years old, went in the fields on a _Saturday_, with some other Children, to gather Cowslips, and, finding in a Ditch by the way-side, at the said Town’s end, one _Catherine Huxley_, a single Woman, aged then about forty years, the Children called her Witch, and took up stones to throw at her, the said _Mary_ also called her Witch, and took up a stone, but was so affrighted that she could not throw it at her; then they all run away from her, and the said _Mary_ being hindmost, this _Huxley_ said to her (_Ellins_ you Shall have enough stones in you.)

Abundance of people yet living, know the Substance of this to be true, and her Mother in Law (since dead) kept the stones till she was tired with the frequent Resort of people to see them, and the said _Mary_, and to hear the Relation of the matter, and beg the stones; (for though many offered Money for them, yet she always refused it, nor did they ever take any, but it cost them much upon the Girl, and the Prosecution of the said _Huxley_) and then she buried them in her Garden. _Edward Ellins_, the Father of the said _Mary_, is also yet living, and a Man of honest Repute, and utterly free (as is
