As is Printed, in _Wonders of the Invisible World_, from p. 114 to p. 116. 1. S_USANNA Martin_, pleading not Guilty, to the Indictment of Witchcrafts brought in against her; there were produced the Evidences of many persons very sensibly and grievously bewitched; who all complained of the Prisoner at the Bar, as the person whom they believed the cause of their Miseries. And now as well as in the other Trials, there was an extraordinary endeavour by Witchcrafts, with cruel and frequent Fits, to hinder the poor Sufferers, from giving in their Complaints; which the Court was forced with much patience to obtain, by much waiting and watching for it. There was now also an Account given, of what had passed at her first Examination before the Magistrates. The cast of her Eye then striking the Afflicted People to the Ground, whether they saw that cast or no: There were these among other Passages between the Magistrates and the Examinate. _Magistrate._ Pray, what ails these People? _Martin._ I don't know. _Magist._ But, What do you think ails them? _Martin._ I don't desire to spend my Judgment upon it. _Magist._ Don't you think they are bewitched? _Martin._ No, I do not think they are. _Magist._ Tell us your thoughts about them then.
