arrested for withcraft at Andover touch test [S182]
"At her examination in Salem on the nexe day, mary made the follwoing
confession, 'She confesses, that about 11 years ago, when she was in a
melancholy state and condition, she used to walk abroad in her
orchard; and upon a certain time, she saw the appearance of a cat, at
the end of the house, which yet she thought was a real cat. However,
at that time, it diverted her from praying to God, and instead thereof
she prayed to the Devil; about whcih time she made a convenant with
the Devil, who, as a black man, came to her and presented her a book,
upon which she laid her finger and that left a red spot. And tat upon
her singning, the Devil told her he was her god, and that she should
serve and worship him, and she believes, she consented to it. She says
further, that about tow years ago, she was caried through the air, in
compnay with Deacon Frye's wife, Ebenezer Barker's wife, and Goody
Tyler, to Five Mile Pond, where she was bapttized by the Devil, who
dipped her face in the water and made her renounce her former baptism,
and told her she must be his, soul and body, forever, and that she
must serve him, which she promised to do. She says, the renouncing her
first baptism was after her dipping, and that she was transported back
again through the air, in company with the fore-named persons, in the
same manner as she went, and believes they were carried upon a pole.
Q. How many persons were upon the pole? A. As I said before, viz. four
persons and no more but whom she had named above. She confesses she
has afflicted three persons, John Sadie, Jr., Martha Sprague, and Rose
Foster, and that she did it by pinching her bed clothes, and giving
consent the Devil should do it in her shape, and that the Devil could
not do it without her consent. She confesses afflicting persons in the
court, by the glance of her eye.
Her husband being present was asked if he judged his wife to be any
way discomposed. He answered, that having lived with her so long, he
doth not judge her to be any ways discomposed, but has cause to
believe what she had said is true'" ref Hutchinson, The Withcraft
Delusion of 1692, p 398
