excerpt from "a witch trial at mount holly"
by benjamin franklin
then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard etc., (as solemnly as the sword-bearer of london before the lord mayor) the wizard was first put in the scale, and over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses, and then the bible was put in the other scale, (which, being kept down before) was immediately let go; but, to the great surprize of the spectators, flesh and bones came down plump, and outweighed that great good book by abundance. after the same manner the others were served, and their lumps of mortality1 severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles.
