And _How_ said afterwards, _That she was very sorry to see_ Safford _at the Church-meeting mentioned. Safford_ after this, _declared herself to be Afflicted by the shape of_ How, _and from that shape she endured many miseries._ 5. _John How_, Brother to the Husband of the Prisoner testified that he refusing to accompany the Prisoner unto her Examination as was by her desired, immediately some of his Cattle, were bewitched to Death, leaping Three or four Foot high, turning about, squeaking, falling and dying at once; and going to cut off an Ear, for an use, that might as well perhaps have been omitted, the Hand wherein he held his Knife was taken very Numb; and so it remained, and full of pain for several Days; being not well at this very time. And he suspected this Prisoner, for the Author of it.[101] 6. _Nehemiah Abbot_ testified, that unusual and mischievous accidents would befall his Cattle, whenever he had any difference with this Prisoner. Once particularly she wished his Ox choaked, and within a little while, that Ox was choaked with a Turnip in his Throat. At another time, refusing to lend his Horse, at the request of her Daughter, the Horse was in a preternatural manner abused. And several other odd things of that kind were testified.[102] 7. There came in Testimony that one Goodwife _Sherwin_, upon some difference with _How_ was bewitched, and, that she died, charging this _How_ of having an hand in her Death. And that other People had their Barrels of Drink unaccountably mischiev'd, spoiled, and spilt upon their displeasing her.[103] The things in themselves were trivial; but there being such a course of them, it made them the more to be considered. Among others, _Martha Wood_ gave her testimony, that a little after, her Father had been employed in gathering an account of this _How's_ Conversation, they once and again lost great quantities of Drink, out of their Vessels, in such a [135] manner, as they could ascribe to nothing but Witchcraft. As also that _How_ giving her some Apples, when she had eaten of them, she was taken with a very strange kind of a maze, insomuch that she knew not what she said or did.[104] 8. There was likewise a Cluster of Depositions, that one _Isaac Cummings_, refusing to lend his Mare, unto the Husband of this _How_; the Mare was within a Day or two taken in a strange condition. The beast seemed much abused; being bruised, as if she had been running over the Rocks, and marked where the Bridle went, as if burnt with a red hot Bridle. Moreover one using a Pipe of Tobacco for the cure of the Beast, a blew flame issued out of her, took hold of her hair, and not only spread and burnt on her, but it also flew upwards towards the Roof of the Barn, and had like to have set the Barn on fire. And the Mare dy'd very suddenly.[105]
