Several of the members, notably young Joseph Putnam, Francis Nurse and Peter Cloyse were very much displeased at the toleration shown to such disorderly doings, and began to absent themselves from public worship, with the result of incurring the anger of the children, who were rapidly assuming the role of destroying angels to the people of Salem village and its vicinity.
"What sort of a man was he?" "A fine, grave man, and when he came, he made all the witches to tremble." "Did you see the party of witches at Deacon Ingersol's?" "I did." "Who was there?" "Goody Cloyse, Goody Corey, Goody Nurse and Goody Good." Then the examining magistrate turned to the old, infirm and unfortunate prisoner, and asked: "What do you say, Goody Nurse, to these things?"
Cloyse, or Goody Cloyse, as she was called in the records of the day, was arrested. Mary Easty and Elizabeth Proctor were also arrested. Mary Easty, sister of Mrs. Nurse, was tried and condemned.
Cloyse drew ill-will upon herself at the outset by doing as her brother and sister Nurse did. They all absented themselves from the examinations in the church, and, when the interruptions of the services became too flagrant, from Sabbath worship.

Abigail Williams, the niece to Parris, was also at hand with her wonderful tales of sorcery. She swore she had seen the prisoner at the witches' sacrament. Struck with horror at such bold perjury, Sarah Cloyse called for water and swooned away before it could be brought her.

Without answering his question, she asked: "What do you think of Goody Nurse and her sisters, Goody Cloyse and Goody Easty?" "They are very excellent women," Charles answered, "I would that we had more like them." "Is it wrong for a young maid such as I to keep their company?" "Assuredly not."
"What God doth the wizard pray to?" quoth Goodman Brown. Goody Cloyse, that excellent old Christian, stood in the early sunshine at her own lattice, catechizing a little girl who had brought her a pint of morning's milk. Goodman Brown snatched away the child as from the grasp of the fiend himself.
