I neuer did see any thing that So.* 1.1 did, to make me to thinke that it was
supernaturall: saith Nich. Shepheard. and M. Craven, I did not see him
doe any thing which another boy might not easilie haue performed. And M.
Foster, I saw nothing but it might be counterfeited. and M Pare: I could
not perceiue any extraordinary thing to be done by the boy, but what any o¦ther
might well haue done: And M VVallis, I could not perceuie any such
strangnes in the thinges I saw the boy doe, and Iames Alwood: vpon the 5
of Nouember at night: I obserued that any body naughtily disposed, might
haue done the same. And lastly saith Rich. Newton: I neuer saw Somers
doe any thing, but that aboy of his yeares might easilie doe.
