4. That at the same time, when the Accused Person was present, the Afflicted Persons saw her Likeness in
other places of the Meeting-House, suckling her Familiar, sometimes in one place and posture, and sometimes in another.
5. That their Motions in their Fits are Preternatural, both as to the manner, which is so strange as a well person could not Screw their Body into; and as to the violence also it is preternatural being much beyond the Ordinary force of the same person when they are in their right mind.
6. The eyes of some of them in their fits are exceeding fast closed, and if you ask a question they can give no answer, and I do believe they cannot hear at that time, yet do they plainely converse with the Appearances, as if they did discourse with real persons.
7. They are utterly pressed against any persons Praying with them, and told by the appearances, they shall not go to Prayer, so Tho. Putman's wife was told, I should not Pray; but she said, I should: and after I had done, reasoned with the Appearance, Did not I say he should go to Prayer.
8. The forementioned Mary W. being a little better at ease, the Afflicted persons said, she had signed the Book; and that was the reason she was better. Told me by Edward Putman.
Remarks concerning the Accused.
1. For introduction to the discovery of those that afflicted them, It is reported Mr. Parris's Indian Man, and Woman, made a Cake of Rye Meal, and the Childrens water,
baked it in the Ashes, and gave it to a Dog, since which they have discovered, and seen particular persons hurting of them.
2. In Time of Examination, they seemed little affected, though all the Spectators were much grieved to see it.
