Conway, about a Year ago, delivered her a little Pewter-dish, telling her he had it from Alice Duke, for good Hansel for his Daughter, who had lately lain in. In this Dish she warmed a little Deer-suet and Rose-water, anoiting her Daughters Nipples with it, which put her to extreme pain; upon which, suspecting harm from the Dish, she put it into the Fire, which then presently vanisht, and nothing of it could afterwards be found.

Rob. Hunt.
