As long as the Accused shall be forc't to undergo Hardships and Torments for their not Confessing.
As long as Tets for the Devil to Suck are searched for upon the Bodies of the accused, as a token of guilt.
As long as the Lord's Prayer shall be profaned, by being made a Test, who are culpable.
As long as Witchcraft, Sorcery, Familiar Spirits, and Necromancy, shall be improved to discover who are Witches, &c.
So long it may be expected that innocents will suffer as Witches.
So long God will be Daily dishonoured, And so long his Judgments, must be expected to be continued.[177]
