Upon the Burning of our House, July 10th 1666
                 by Anne Bradstreet
In silent night when rest I took,
For sorrow near I did not look,
I waken'd was with thund'ring noise
And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice.

Let no man know is my desire.
I, starting up, the light did spy,
And to my God my heart did cry
To strengthen me in my Distress
 
10- And not to leave me succourless.*
Then coming out, beheld a space
The flame consume my dwelling place.
And when I could no longer look,
I blest His grace that gave and took,
 
15- That laid my goods now in the dust.
Yea, so it was, and so 'twas just.
It was His own; it was not mine.

He might of all justly bereft'

When by the Ruins oft I past
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast

Examination of Sarah Good

A. I serve God.

Q. What God do you serve?

A. The God that made heaven and earth, though she was not willing to mention the word God. Her answers were in a very wicked spiteful manner, reflecting and retorting against the authority with base and abusive words, and many lies she was taken in. It was here said that her husband had said that he was afraid that she either was a witch or would be one very quickly. The worshipful Mr. Hathorne asked him his reason why he said so of her, whether he had ever seen anything by her. He answered no, not in this nature, but it was her bad carriage to him and indeed, said he, I may say with tears that she is an enemy to all good.
