98 3/[emoir of this Court (1648) one Margaret Jones of Charlestown was indicted and found guilty of witchcraft, and hanged for it."_ " The husband of the woman, after she was executed, had taken his passage in a ship which lay in Charles River, bound to Barbadoes, well bal- lasted, but with eighty horses on board, and being observed to roll on a sudden, as if she would overset, an officer was sent (by the magistrates of the County Court, then sitting in Boston) to apprehend the man; and after he was committed to prison, the ship ceased rolling, which, it is said, was never renewed afterwards."]" Thus began in Massachusetts the deplorable crusade against witchcraft, fol- lowed by the sacrifice of innocent blood. The trial and sentence of Mrs. Jones was one of the last and most lamentable public acts of Winthrop's life. He died in the following year. But it must not be forgotten that the delusion which clouded his mind and de- stroyed his moral perceptions at the time was See I Upham's Hist. of Witchcraft, 4I 7. t I Ifutchinson's tlist., I4I , I42. 2 Winthrop's Ilist., 399.

Men and women were executed under sentences for witchcraft, from time to time pronounced by the General Court, and by the Court of Assistants, from I648 down to I692 , when the terrible tragedies at Salem began, of which a full account may be found in Mr. Upham's History. _ The state of the public mind in 1648 with reference to this illusion is fully illustrated by the cases of Margaret Jones, Ann Hibbins, and Elizabeth Morse. "They show," says Mrl Upham, "that there was nothing unprece- dented, unusual, or eminently shocking, after all, in what I am about to relate as occurring at Salem in i692." While this horrible madness ruled the minds of the members of the General Court, the magistrates, and most of the clergy, there was one minister of the gospel, Rev. Samuel Whiting, who, from dis- belief in the existence of witchcraft, or from obedience to the dictates of an enlightened • idpham's History of Witchcraft, 417-449 .
