A61746	Strange and terrible nevves from Cambridge a true relation of the Quakers bewitching of Mary Philips out of the bed from her husband in the night, and transformed her into the shape of a bay mare, riding her from Dinton, towards the University : with the manner how she became visible again to the people in her own likeness and shape, with her sides all rent and torn, as if they had been spur-gal'd, her hands and feet worn as black as a coal, and her mouth slit with the bridle bit : likewise her speech to the scholars and countrey-men, upon this great and wonderful change, her oath before the judges and justices, and the names of the Quakers brought to tryal on Friday last at the assises held at Cambridge, with the judgment of the court : as also the Devil's snatching of one from his company, and hoisting of him up into the air, with what hapned thereupon.		1659 (1659)	Wing S5827; ESTC R18705	3,296	9
