She promised to cure him, and in fact took her place at the bedside of the sick man and tended him with the gentleness of a sister of mercy. She fervently besought the devil to restore life to the dying man, but the devil replied that it was impossible. Bodin gravely recounts how witches on the Sabbath flew through the air on broomsticks. He adds : ' What we have said of the travels of the witches, both in body and in spirit, and the frequent and memorable experiences of the same, show as in br...oad daylight, and bring to the test of touch and sight, the error of those who have written that the flights of witches are imaginary, and nothing but a trance.
