Mary Osgood, wife of Captain Osgood, went 'to five mile pond, where she was baptized by the devil, who dipped her face in the water, and made her renounce her former baptism, and told her she must be his, soul and body for ever, and that she must serve him, which she promised to do. She says, the renouncing her first baptism was after her dipping.'[277] The account of Goody Lacey's experience is given in the form of question and answer: '_Q._ Goody Lacey! how many years since they were baptized? _A._ Three or four years ago, I suppose. _Q._ Who baptized them? _A._ The old serpent. _Q._ How did he do it? _A._ He dipped their heads in the water, saying, that they were his and that he had power over them. _Q._ Where was this? _A._ At Fall's River. _Q._ How many were baptized that day? _A._ Some of the chief; I think they were six baptized. _Q._ Name them. _A._ I think they were of the higher powers.'[278]
