And, indeed, when you come to think of my breaking with Eli Kirke, 'twas the witch trial that drove me to the wilderness. There was yet a respite. But the Church still dominated the civil courts, and a transfer of the case meant that the Church would throw the onus of executing sentence on those lay figures who were the puppets of a Pharisaical oligarchy.
