ye table.  Also I saw ye pott turn over, and throw down all ye water.  Againe we see a tray with wool leap up and downe, and throw ye wool out, and saw nobody meddle with it.  Again a tub’s hoop fly off, and nobody near it.  Againe ye woolen wheele upside downe, and stood upon its end, and a spade set on it.  This myself, my wife, and Stephen Greenleaf saw.  Againe my tools fell down on ye ground, and before my boy could take them they were sent from him.  Againe when my wife and ye boy were making ye bed, ye chest did open and shutt, ye bed-clothes would not be made to ly on ye bed, but flew off againe.

“We saw a keeler of bread turn over.  A chair did often bow to me.  Ye chamber door did violently fly together.  Ye bed did move to and fro.  Ye barn-door was unpinned four times.  We agreed to a big noise in ye other room.  My chair would not stand still, but was ready to throw me backward.  Ye catt was thrown at us five times.  A great stone of six pounds weight did remove from place to place.  Being minded to write, my ink-horne was hid from me, which I found covered by a ragg, and my pen quite gone.  I made a new penn, and while I was writing, one eare of corne hitt me in ye face, and sticks, stones, and my old pen were flung att me.  Againe my spectickles were throwne from ye table, and almost into ye hot fire.  My paper, do what I could, I could hardly keep it.  Before I could dry my writing, a mammouth hat rubbed along it, but I held it so fast that it did only blot some of it.  My wife and I being much afraid that I should not preserve ye writing, we did think best to lay it in ye Bible.  Againe ye next night I lay it there againe, but in ye morning it was not to be found, till I found it in a box alone.  Againe while I was writing this morning I was forced to forbeare writing any more, because I was so disturbed by many things constantly thrown att me.”

Anthony Morse testified:—­

“Occasionally, being to my brother Morse’s hous, he showed to me a pece of brick, what had several times come down ye chimne.  I sitting in ye cornar towde that pece of brick in my hand.  Within a littel spas of tiem ye pece of brick was gone from me I know not by what meanes.  Quickly after it come down chimne.  Also in ye chimne cornar I saw a hammar on ye ground.  Their bein no person nigh it, it was sodenly gone, by what meanes I know not; but within a littell spas it fell down chimne, and ... also a pece of woud a fute long.

  “Taken on oath Dec. the 8, 1679, before me,

  “JOHN WOODBRIDGE, COMMISSIONER.”

Thomas Hardy testified:—­

“I and George Hardy being at William Morse his house, affirm that ye earth in ye chimny cornar moved and scattered on us.  I was hitt with somewhat; Hardy hitt by a iron ladle; somewhat hitt Morse a great blow, butt itt was so swift none could tell what itt was.  After, we saw itt was a shoe.”
