William: [before the court] What went we out into this wilderness to find? Leaving our country, kindred, our fathers' houses? We have travailed a vast ocean. For what? For what? Governor: We must ask thee to be silent! William: Was it not for the pure and faithful dispensation of the Gospels, and the Kingdom of God? Old Slater: No more! We are your judges, and not you ours! William: I cannot be judged by false Christians, for I have done nothing, save preach Christ's true Gospel. Governor: Must you continue to dishonor the laws of the commonwealth and the church with your prideful conceit? William: If my conscience sees it fit. Governor: Then shall you be banished out of this plantation's liberties! William: I would be glad of it. Governor: Then take your leave, and trouble us no further. William: How sadly hath The Lord testified against you. [turning to leave] Katherine... Caleb: Thomasin! Come.

William: Art thou then born a sinner? Caleb: Aye. I was conceived in sin, and born in iniquity. William: And, what is thy birth sin? Caleb: Adam's sin imputed to me, and a corrupt nature dwelling within me. William: Well-remembered, Caleb. Very well. And canst thou tell me what thy corrupt nature is? Caleb: My corrupt nature is empty of grace, bent unto sin, only unto sin, and that continually.

Caleb: Was Samuel born a sinner? How might then... William: We pray he hath entered God's Kingdom. Caleb: What wickedness hath he done? William: Place faith in God, Caleb. We'll speak no more on thy brother. Caleb: Why? He hath disappeared not one week past, yet you and Mother utter not his name. William: He is gone, Caleb. Caleb: Tell me. William: Tell thee what? Caleb: Is he in hell? William: Caleb! Caleb: Mother will not stop her prayer...And if he died? If I died this day? William: What is this? Caleb: I hold evil in my heart. My sins are not pardoned. William: Thou art youngly yet. Caleb: And if God will not hear my prayers? William: Caleb... Caleb: Tell me! William: Look you, I love thee marvelous well, but 'tis God alone, not man, what knows who is a son of Abraham and who is not. Who is good and who is evil. Fain would I tell thee Sam sleeps in Jesus, that thou wilt, that I will, but I cannot tell thee that. None can.

Thomasin: Why is it when thou dost a wrong, I be a-washing Fathers clothes like a slave, and thou art playing idle? Mercy: Because Mother hates you! Thomasin: Spoilt child. Mercy: I'll tell Mother you have left the farm alone. Black Phillip saith I can do what I like. Thomasin: Devil take your Black Phillip. Mercy: It's your fault I cannot leave the yard. I could go to the brook before you let The Witch take Sam. Thomasin: Quiet thee. Caleb: It was a wolf stole Sam. Mercy: A witch. I've seen her in her riding cloak about the Wood! Caleb: Father showed me the tracks. Mercy: It was a witch! Thomasin: It was a witch, Mercy. You speak aright. Caleb: Thomasin! Thomasin: It was I! Mercy: Liar. Thomasin: [walking gradually toward her sister] Twas I what stole him. I be the Witch of the Wood. Mercy: Liar! Liar! Thomasin: I am. Caleb: List' not to her, Mercy. Thomasin: I am that very witch. When I sleep my spirit slips away from my body and dances naked with The Devil. That's how I signed his b

William: You must sleep tonight, Kate. Katherine: Thou dost remember I love thee? William: I do. List me, Kate. I fear thou lookst too much upon this affliction. We must bend our thoughts towards God, not ourselves. He hath never taken a child from us. Never a one, Kate. Who might earn such grace? We have been ungrateful of God's love. Katherine: He hath cursed this family. William: No. He hath taken us into a very low condition to humble us and to show us more of his grace. Was not Christ led into the wilderness to be ill met by the devil? Katherine: We should ne'er left the plantation. William: Kate... Katherine: We should never have left. William: That damned church! There is naught hither.
