An evidences Supposed to be in the Testimony which is thoroughly to be Weighed, & if it does not infallibly prove the crime against the person accused, it ought not to determine him guilty of it for So righteous men may be condemned unjustly. In case of witchcraft we know that the Devil is the immediate agent in the mischief done, the Consent or Compact of the witch is the thing to be demonstrated. Among many arguments to evince this that which is most under present debate, is that which so fore to something vulgarly called Spec-tre evidence and a contain sort of ordeal or trial by his Sight and Touch. The principal proa? to justify the convictive evidence ? is fetched from the consideration of the wisdom and Justice of God in governing the works which they suppose would fail if such things were permitted to befall an innocent person, but it is certain that too resolute conclusions drawn from hence, are bold usurpations upon spotless sovereignty, and though some things is suffered to be common would subvert this Government and disband and ruin Human society; yet God doth sometimes suffer such things.
