The deposition of Mary Warren aged 20 years, she testifieth. I have seen the apparition of John Proctor Senior among the witches and he hath often tortured me by pinching me and biting me and choking me, and pressing me on my Stomach till the blood came out of my mouth and also I saw him torture Miss Pope and Mercy Lewis and John Indian upon the day of his examination and he hath also tempted me to write in his book. and to eat bread which he brought to me, which I refusing to do, John Proctor did most grievously torture me with variety of tortures, almost ready to kill me.
Mary Warren owned the above written upon her oath before and unto ye Grand Inquest on ye 30 Day of June 1692.
