October 4th, 1692
I,
in my last attempt to save any dignity in myself; have decided to leave
Salem for good. I cannot bear to watch John hang so I did offer him
passage with me, and he did refuse. I must leave forever and never
return to this dreadful place. I have condemned so many people to hang
and so I too shall be condemned to hell. I try not to have regret for
this event because I know those who kept to honesty, and hung for it,
shall rise with grace into heaven. Their ends shall be peaceful, but
mine shall be filled with godly wrath. May John have the most peaceful
going into the glory of God, and with him those of true righteousness.
