3Cotton Mather to John Foster, 17 August 1692: "You would know whether I still retain my opinion about the horrible witchcrafts among us, and I acknowledge that I do. I do still think that when there is no further evidence against a person but only this, that a specter in their shape does afflict a neighbor, that evidence is not enough to convict the [accused?] of witchcraft. . . . The odd effects produced upon the sufferers by the look or touch of the accused are things wherein Devils may as much impose upon some harmless people as by the representation of their shapes." From Boyer and Nissenbaum, pp. 118-119.
4The remark is from Thomas Brattle, which reads in full, "I cannot but highly applaud, and think it our duty to be very thankfull, for the endeavours of several Elders, whose lips, (I think,) should preserve knowledge, and whose counsell should, I think, have been more regarded, in a case of this nature, than as yet it has been: in particular, I cannot but think very honourably of the endeavours of a Rev'd person in Boston, whose good affection to his countrey in general, and spiritual relation to three of the Judges in particular, has made him very solicitous and industrious in this matter and I am fully persuaded, that had his notions and proposals been hearkened to, and followed, when these troubles were in their birth, in an ordinary way, they would never have grown unto that heighth which now they have."

Johnson wrote "At the heart of the problem of legalism is pride, a pride that refuses to admit spiritual bankruptcy. That is why the doctrines of grace stir up so much animosity. Donald Grey Barnhouse, a giant of a man in free grace, wrote, 'It was a tragic hour when the Reformation churches wrote the Ten Commandments into their creeds and catechisms and sought to bring Gentile believers into bondage to Jewish law, which was never intended either for the Gentile nations or for the church.' He was right, too."
