_'When ye do judge of matters, or
when ye do judge of words, or when
ye do judge of persons, all these
are distinct things. A wise man
will not give both his ears to one
party but reserve one for the
other party, and will hear both,
and then judge.'--G. FOX._
_'And after I came to one Captain
Sands, which he and his wife if
they could have had the world and
truth they would have received it.
But they was hypocrites and he a
very light chaffy man, and the way
was too strait for him.'--G. FOX._
_'James the First was crazed
beyond his English subjects with
the witch mania of Scotland and
the Continent. No sooner had his
first parliament enacted new death
laws than the judges and the
magistrates, the constable and the
mob began to hunt up the oldest
and ugliest spinster who lived
with her geese on the common, or
tottered about the village street.
Many pleaded guilty, and described
the covenants they had formed with
black dogs and "goblins called
Tibb"; others were beaten or
terrified into fictitious
confessions, or perished, denying
their guilt to the last. The black
business culminated during the
Civil Wars when scores of women
were put to death.'--G.M.
