Case of Goody Ayers

              Wee whose names are under written, were called forth/
and desired to take notes, of the dead child of John Kelly, doe/
hereby testifie, what wee saw as followeth: the child was/
brought forth and layd upon aforme, by the good wife Aeres/
and good wife waples, and the face of it beinge uncovered/
good wife Aeires was desired, by John Kelly to come up to it/
and to handle it; the child havinge purged alittle at the/
mouth the goodwife Aeires wiped the corner of the childs/
mouth with acloth, and then shee was desired to turne up/
the sleeve of the arme and shee did indeavour to doe it, but/
the sleeve beinge some what straight, shee could not well doe/
it. then John Kelly himselfe ripped up both the sleeves of the/
armes {text crossed out}and upon/
the back side of both the armes, from the elbow to the top of/
the shoulders were black and blew, as if they had bin bruised/
or beaten, after this the child was turned over upon the/
right side and set upon the belly, and then there came/
such a sent from the corps, as that it caused some to/
depart the roome, as Gregorie wolterton, and George Grave,/
then the child being turned again, and layd into the coffin/
John Kelly desired them to come into the roome againe,/
to see the childs face, and then wee saw upon the right/
cheeke, of the childs face, a reddish tawny great spott, which/
covered agreat parte of the cheeke, it beinge on the side/
next to goodwife Aeires where shee stoode, this spot or/
bloach was not seene before the child was turned and/
the armes of the child did apeare to be vere limber, in/
the handlinge of them; Thomas Catling/
