‘Being demanded of what stature the said black Man was, saith, that he was about the length of her Arm: And that his Eyes were very big; and that he hopt or leapt in the way before her, and, afterwards, did suck her again as she was lying down; and that his sucking was with a great pain unto her, and, afterwards vanish’d clear away out of her sight. ‘This Examinant doth further confess, That upon the first day of _June_ last past, whilst the said Mr. _Eastchurch_ and his Wife were absent, that the said Examinant did pinch and prick the said _Grace Thomas_ (with the aid and help of the black Man) in her Belly, Stomach and Breast; and that they continued so tormenting of her, about the Space of two or three hours, with an intent to have killed her.’ She also confessed to have tortured several others to death. Mary Trembles said that about three years since Susannah Edwards persuaded her to become a witch, and that the Devil appeared to her in the shape of a lion. ‘_Susannah Edwards_ being brought before us, and accused for practising of Witchcraft upon the Body of _Grace Barnes_, the wife of _John Barnes_ of _Biddiford_, Yeoman, was demanded by us how long since she had Discourse or Familiarity with the Devil; saith, That about two years ago she did meet with a Gentleman in a Field called the _Parsonage Close_ in the Town of _Biddiford_, and that his Apparel was all of black. Upon which she did hope to have a Piece of Money of him. Whereupon, the Gentleman drawing near unto this Examinant, she did make a Curchy, or Courtesie unto him, as she did use to do to Gentlemen. ‘Being demanded what and who the Gentleman she spake of, was, the said Examinant answered and said, that it was the Devil. ‘And confessed, that the Devil did ask of her whether she was a Poor woman? unto whom she answered that she was a Poor woman; and that, thereupon, the Devil, in the shape of the Gentleman, did say unto her, that if this Examinant would grant him one request, that she should neither want for Meat, Drink, nor Clothes: Whereupon this Examinant did say unto the said Gentleman, In the Name of God, what is it I shall have? Upon which the said Gentleman vanished clear away from her. ‘And further confesseth, That, afterwards, there was something in the shape of a little Boy, which she thinks to be the Devil, came into her house, and did lie with her, and that he did suck at her breast. And confesseth that she did afterwards meet him in a place call’d _Stambridge-lane_ in this Parish of _Biddiford_, leading towards _Abbotisham_, (which is the next Parish on the west of _Biddiford_ aforesaid), where he did suck blood out of her breast.
