Introduction

?Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.? EXOD. 22.18. If the Kingdom of Satan be divided, how can it stand? Matthew Hopkins was repeatedly put to task over his methods of witch hunting, the processes used, the measures he would take to cutting the festering sore out of the side of christendom. But in the end, this thug did little else than to inspire fear for one?s neighbor, turning one friend against another, brother against brother, father against son. If the Kingdom of Heaven be divided, it stood for hundreds of years, feasting on its own entrails, seeking the weak and defenseless, condemning with evidence aquired under torturous means, leaving God as the final witness to the crimes against humanity committed in Jesus? name. The true translation of Exodus 22:18 is, ?Thou shalt not suffer a poisoner of wells to live amongst you.? Or, sayeth the editor of this work, a poisoner of minds, souls, and spirits. It is our opinion that the inquisition, in its many forms, has done more to darken the name of christianity, and being in the true spirit of Hopkin?s own faulty logic, hath divided Christianity against itself -- how can it rightly stand? Certainly a God of Justice would not have such evil doers speak in His name so unjustly?
