Lastly, Since the Lord Jesus Christ has conquered all the _Temptations_
of the Devil, Flie to that Lord, Crie to that Lord, that He would give
you a share in his Happy Victory. It was for Us that our Lord overcome
the Devil: and when he did but say, _Satan, Get hence_, away presently
the Tygre flew: Does the Devil molest Us? Then let us Repair to our
Lord, who says, _I know how to succour the Tempted._ Said the
_Psalmist_, _Psal. 61.2._ _Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I._ A
Woman in this Land being under the Possession of Devils, the Devils
within her, audibly spoke of diverse Harms they would inflict upon her;
but still they made this answer, _Ah! She Runs to the Rock! She Runs to
the Rock!_ and that hindered all. O this _Running to the Rock_; 'tis
the best Preservation in the World; the _Vultures_ of _Hell_ cannot prey
upon the _Doves_ in the _Clefts_ of that _Rock_. May our God now lead us
thereunto.

A TRUE NARRATIVE of some Remarkable
Passages relating to sundry Persons afflicted
by _Witchcraft_ at _Salem_ Village in _New-England_,
which happened from the _19th._ of _March_
to the _5th._ of _April_, 1692.
COLLECTED BY DEODAT LAWSON.
On the Nineteenth day of _March_ last I went to _Salem_ Village, and
lodged at _Nathaniel Ingersol's_ near to the Minister Mr. _P.'s_ House,
and presently after I came into my Lodging, Capt. _Walcut's_ Daughter
_Mary_ came to Lieut. _Ingersol's_ and spake to me; but suddenly after,
as she stood by the Door, was bitten, so that she cried out of her
Wrist, and looking on it with a Candle, we saw apparently the marks of
Teeth, both upper and lower set, on each side of her Wrist.
