the door of the cellar; and, being taken up again, the door did violently fly down again.  My barn-doors four times unpinned, I know not how.  I, going to shut my barn-door, looking for the pin,—­the boy being with me, as I did judge,—­the pin, coming down out of the air, did fall down near to me.  Again, Caleb Powell came in, as beforesaid, and, seeing our spirits very low by the sense of our great affliction, began to bemoan our condition, and said that he was troubled for our afflictions, and said that he had eyed this boy, and drawed near to us with great compassion:  ’Poor old man, poor old woman! this boy is the occasion of your grief; for he hath done these things, and hath caused his good old grandmother to be counted a witch.’  ‘Then,’ said I, ‘how can all these things be done by him?’ Said he, ’Although he may not have done all, yet most of them; for this boy is a young rogue, a vile rogue:  I have watched him, and see him do things as to come up and down.’  Caleb Powell also said he had understanding in astrology and astronomy, and knew the working of spirits, some in one country, and some in another; and, looking on the boy, said, ’You young rogue, to begin so soon.  Goodman Morse, if you be willing to let me have this boy, I will undertake you shall be free from any trouble of this kind while he is with me.’  I was very unwilling at the first, and my wife; but, by often urging me, till he told me whither, and what employment and company, he should go, I did consent to it, and this was before Jo.  Badger came; and we have been freed from any trouble of this kind ever since that promise, made on Monday night last, to this time, being Friday in the afternoon.  Then we heard a great noise in the other room, oftentimes, but, looking after it, could not see any thing; but, afterwards looking into the room, we saw a board hanged to the press.  Then we, being by the fire, sitting in a chair, my chair often would not stand still, but ready to throw me backward oftentimes.  Afterward, my cap almost taken off my head three times.  Again, a great blow on my poll, and my cat did leap from me into the chimney corner.  Presently after, this cat was thrown at my wife.  We saw the cat to be ours:  we put her out of the house, and shut the door.  Presently, the cat was throwed into the house.  We went to go to bed.  Suddenly,—­my wife being with me in bed, the lamp-light by our side,—­my cat again throwed at us five times, jumping away presently into the floor; and, one of those times, a red waistcoat throwed on the bed, and the cat wrapped up in it.  Again, the lamp, standing by us on the chest, we said it should stand and burn out; but presently was beaten down, and all the oil shed, and we left in the dark.  Again, a great voice, a great while, very dreadful.  Again, in the morning, a great stone, being six-pound weight, did remove from place to place,—­we saw it,—­two spoons throwed off the table, and presently the table throwed down.  And, being minded to write, my inkhorn
