[Following the tormenting of Susannah’s specter upon the afflicted girls in the courthouse, who are showing extreme suffering]

Magistrate: Who do you think is their master?

Susannah: If they be dealing in the black art, you may know as well as I. I desire to lead myself according to the Word of God.

Magistrate: Is this according to God’s Word?

Susannah: If I were such a person, I would tell you the truth.

Magistrate: How do you know? He that appeared in the shape of Samuel, a glorified saint, may appear in anyone’s shape.

Magistrate: Do you believe these do not say true?

Susannah: They may lie, for aught I know.

Magistrate: May not you lie?

Susannah: I dare not tell a lie if it would save my life.

Magistrate: Then you will speak the truth?

Susannah: I have spoken nothing else. I would do them any good.

Magistrate: I do not think you have such affections for them whom just now you insinuated had the Devil for their master.

[Elizabeth Hubbard flinched and murmured that Susannah had pinched her hand. Others shouted that her specter was on a beam in the courthouse.]

Magistrate: Pray God discover you, if you be guilty.

Susannah: Amen. Amen. A false tongue will never make a guilty person.
