Witchcraft History
Petition for John Proctor
"The Humble and Sincere Declaration of us, Subscribers, Inhabitants inIpswich, on the Behalf of our Neighbors, John
Proctor and his wife, now in Trouble and under Suspicion of Witchcraft."To The Honorable Court Of Assistants Now Sitting In Boston
"Honored and Right Worshipful,- The aforesaid John Proctor may have greatreason to justify the Divine Sovereignty of God
under these severe remarks of Providence, upon his peace and honor, undera due reflection upon his life past; and so the best
of us have reason to adore the great pity and indulgence of God'sprovidence, that we are not exposed to the utmost shame
that the Devil can invent, under the permissions of sovereignty, thoughnot for that sin forenamed, yet for our many
transgressions. For we do at present suppose, that it may be a methodwithin the severer but just transactions of the infinite
majesty of God, that he sometimes permit Sathan to peronate, dissemble,and thereby abuse innocents and such as do, in the
fear of God, defy the Devil and all his works. Thew great rage he ispermitted to attempt holy Job with; the abuse he does the
famous Samuel in disquieting hissilent dust, by shadowing his venerableperson in answer to the charms of witchcraft; and other
instances from good hands,- may be arguments. Besides the unsearchablefootsteps of God's judgements, that are brought to
light every morning, that astonish our weaker reasons; to teach usadoration, trembling, dependence, &c. But we must not
trouble Your Honors by being tedious.Therefore, being smitten with thenotice of what hath happened, we reckon it within the
duties of our charity that teacheth us do as we would be done by, tooffer thus much for clearing of our neighbors' innocency;
viz., that we never had the least knowledge of such a nefandouswickedness in our said neighbors, since they have been our
acquaintance. Neither do we remember any such thoughts in us concerningthem, or ant action by them or either of them,
directly tending that way, no more than might be in the lives of anypersons of the clearest reputation as top any such evils.
What God may have left them to, we cannot go into God's pavilion clothedwith clouds of darkness round about; but, as to
what we have ever seen or heard of them, upon our consciences we judgethem innocent of the crime objected. His breeding
hath amongst us, and was of religious parents in our place, and, byreason of relations and properties within our town, hath had
constant intercourse with us. We speak upon our personal acquaintance andobservations; and so leave our neighbors, and this
testimony on their behalf, to the wise thoughts of Your Honors.Jn Wise
