Memorable providences, relating to witchcrafts and possessions : a faithful account of many wonderful and surprising things, that have befallen several bewitched and possessed persons in New-England, particularly, a narrative of the marvellous trouble and relief, experienced by a pious family in Boston, very lately and sadly molested with evil spirits : whereunto is added, a discourse delivered unto a congregation in Boston, on the occasion of that illustrious providence : as also, a discourse delivered unto the same congregation, on the occasion of an horrible self-murder committed in the town : with an appendix, in vindication of a chapter in a late book of remarkable providences, from the calumnies of a Quaker at Pen-silvania / written by Cotton Mather ... and recommended by the ministers of Boston and Charleston.
