One of them was Sir Harbottle Grimston, a baronet of Puritan ancestry, who had been active in the Long Parliament, but who as a "moderate man" fell now somewhat into the background. The other was Sir Thomas Bowes. Both figure a little later as Presbyterian elders. Hopkins, 3. Hopkins, 2; Stearne, 14-16.
"Mary Louise is always on the wrong side. Other schools are not criterions for this ramshackle establishment, anyhow. We have twelve boarders and four day scholars, and how Miss Stearne ever supports the place and herself on her income is an occult problem that the geometries can't solve.
As a matter of fact, the king's forces seem not to have got farther east than Bedford and Cambridge. See Whitelocke, Memorials, I, 501. Stearne, 11, speaks of 68 condemnations. On p. 14 he tells of 18 who were executed at Bury, but this may have referred to the first group only. It is not altogether certain, however, that this testimony is independent.
Hopkins never expresses his opinion on this variety of evidence, but his co-worker declares that it should be used with great caution, because "apparitions may proceed from the phantasie of such as the party use to fear or at least suspect." But it was a case in Northamptonshire of a different type that seems to have made the most lasting impression on Stearne.
When we come to the time of the Civil Wars we cannot forget that Stearne and Hopkins met opposition, not alone from the Huntingdon minister, but from a large party in Norfolk, who finally forced the witchfinder to defend himself in court. Nor can we forget the witch-pricker of Berwick who was sent a-flying back to his native northern soil, nor the persistent Mrs.
Any infraction of this rule will result in suspension or permanent dismissal. We're determined not to stand for this rule a single minute. We intend to strike for our liberties." "Well," said Mary Louise reflectively, "I'm not surprised. The wonder is that Miss Stearne hasn't stopped your evening parades before now.
That there were assizes is proved by the statement that "Moore's wife" confessed before the "Judge, Bench, and Country," ibid., 21-22, as well as by the reference in the Ely Episcopal Records, 113, to the "assizes." Stearne, 17, 21-22. For a clear statement of this point of view, see ibid., 40-50. Stearne, 46-47. Ibid., 50. Ibid., 17. Ibid., 13. Ibid., 14. Hopkins, 5.
The girl listened to this speech with evident surprise; yet the tirade did not seem to impress her. "You refuse, then, to let me go?" she returned. "I positively refuse." "But I cannot stay here, Miss Stearne," she protested. "You must.
Nor is this title given him by Stearne, Gaule, or any contemporary record. It is perhaps only a misunderstanding of the phrase of Hopkins's title-page, "for the benefit of the whole kingdome" a phrase which, as the punctuation shows, describes, not the witch-finder, but his book. But this is of uncertain date, and may rest on Hutchinson.
The door that connected with the dining room and farther on with the servants' quarters had also been locked and the key withdrawn. This was so unusual that it plainly told the girl that Miss Stearne was suspicious that she might try to escape, and so had taken precautions to prevent her leaving the house. Mary Louise cautiously set down her suit case and tried to think what to do.
