Judge Bride: How do you know? No one else can claim to be so wise.
Doll Bilby: If it were a demon, I would have seen him.
Judge Bride: You have, then, so nice a sight you can see devils?
Mr. Zelley: May I speak?
Judge Bride: Speak.
Mr. Zelley: If this young woman could command a devil to serve her, would he then be so unmindful of her safety as to come into this court and work tricks so likely to hurt her cause?
Mr. Mather: Cannot God as well as this wretched girl or Satan command devils? Has it not been proved often and often that it sometimes pleases Him to suffer them to do such things in this world as shall stop the mouths of gainsayers and exhort a Christian confession from those who will believe only the most obvious of His truths?
Judge Bride: Bilby, give us your thoughts on the matter. These Divines have spoken wisely.
Doll Bilby: I think it was perhaps an angel—come to do me a mischief.
Judge Bride: Do angels come to do mischief to good and baptized women?
