An evocative scene for "1693 Wonders of the Invisible World," showing a group of frightened villagers huddled together, witnessing otherworldly phenomena like floating orbs, shadowy shapes, and eerie lights in the sky, set against the backdrop of a Puritan settlement at dusk.
“If a man has put a spell upon another man and it is not yet justified, he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge. If the holy river overcome him and he is drowned, the man who put the spell upon him shall take possession of his house. If the holy river declares him innocent and he remains unharmed the man who laid the spell shall be put to death. He that plunged into the river shall take possession of the house of him who laid the spell upon him.
