Note 101 — GEORGE LYMAN KITTREDGE

To avoid all possibility of misapprehension I shall venture to express my own feelings. The two men who appeal to me most in the whole affair of witchcraft are Friedrich Spee, the Jesuit, and Balthasar Bekker, the “intolerable” pastor of Amsterdam. But what I feel, and what all of us feel, is not to the purpose. There has been too much feeling in modern discussions of witchcraft already.
