[22] This was the Hortando case, a brief narrative of which, “sent in
by an intelligent person,” is given in _Remarkable Providences_, pp.
116-118, and _Magnalia_, vol. ii. p. 453.
“The enclosed I transcribed from Mr. Tho. Broughton, who read to me
what he took from the mouth of the woman and her husband, and judge
it credible; though it be not the half of what is to be gotten. I
expect from him a fuller and further account before I come down to
the Commencement.” (Mr. Moody to Mr. Mather, August 23, 1683. _Mather
Papers_, p. 360.) The date, place and attending circumstances make it
clear that this was “the narrative sent in by an intelligent person,”
which Mr. Mather printed.
