Jabish Hackett deposed that, sojourning at house of Rich. Prey, he often heard Prey call his wife jade and roundhead, and curse her, wishing a plague and a pox on her, and especially after Richard Prey came home from meeting last Lord's day, having beaten her that day. He had heard Prey say that he would beat her twenty times a day before she should be his master, and that on the Monday following the Lord's day, Prey's wife going to put on her waistcoat, stripped up the sleeve of her shift and said, " Here are ye marks of ye blowes" that her husband had given her, which were two great places black and blue. Also that Prey said he had heard it reported at Mr. Leader's that he stayed at home cursing and swearing at his wife, and the latter answered that one need not go far to prove that, for Mrs. Elener heard him. He answered " I beeleue yt yo" tould her." and she said " thinke soe still if you will, but did you not sware?" Then Prey took up a long stick about the size of the great end of a bedstaff and said to her, " Did I sweare, Ile tell you whether I did or noe," and with that struck at his wife, but the deponent being present stepped in and warded off the blow with his arm. Prey, seeing this, gave his wife a kick, and kicked her against the wall. Also being at supper one evening, one Thomas Wiggines spoke to Prey about cursing and swearing upon a Lord's day when he and his wife stayed at home from meeting. Pray answered that it was a lie, and his wife re- minding him of his previous actions, Prey took his porridge dish and threw it at her, hitting her upon the haud and wrist, so that she feared her arm was broken. Some one present told Prey that the court would not allow him to abuse his wife so, and he answered that he did not care for the court and if the court hanged him for it he would do it. It was said to him that the court would make him care, for they had tamed as stout hearts as his, and Prey answered that if ever he had trouble about abusing his wife, he would cripple her and make her sit on a stool, and there he would keep her. Sworn, 18 : 11 : 1647, before Rob. Bridges. § Rich. Hood deposed the same.
