immediate interposition of divine power giving fascinating accounts of the different countries practices It concludes History contains innumerable examples of persons plunging their arms into boiling water hanrHing red hot balls of iron and walking upon burning plowshares without receiving the least uijurv Many lenmed men to account for this Gross fan position But if we examine every circumstance we shall that the whole thing was a gross imposition on the credulity of mankind The accused was committed wholly to the priest who was to perform the ceremony three days before the trial time enough to bargain with him for his deliverance On the day of the trial after the iron was taken out of the fire several prayers were said the accused drank a cup of holy water and sprinkled his hands with it which might take considerable tune The space of nine feet was measured by the accused himself and he would probably give scant measure He was obliged to only touch one of the marks with his right toe and could stretch the other foot as far towards the other mark as he could so that the conveyance was almost instantaneous His hand was not immediately examined but wrapped in a cloth Raise 35 For an
