There was a certain one who said that in the life of the body he had indeed harmed others through witchcraft or truldom, to the point of inflicting on them evil, pains, and the like, and who was practicing the same in the other life. He was told that the punishment of such people is one of retaliation. So hellish spirits drew him down to themselves and tormented him with the same practices. This was made known to me by his outcry and lamentations, saying with a bitter tone that he had sinned. 1748, 24 Aug. * Swedish for "witchcraft."
