or shell witch thee!

Why tell Mercy those

horrible fancies?

- Dost thou hate me too?

- It was a wolf stole Sam.

Leave me be.

Go tell Mother and

Father of my wickedness.

- Thomaisn.

- I hate thy pity.

I need it not.

...and forgive us the sins we have

this day committed against thee...

Free us from the shame and torment

which are due unto us for them.

We beseech thee, increase our faith

in the promises of the gospel,

our fear of thy name, and

the hatred of all our sins.

that we may be assured that

thy Holy Spirit dwells in us,

that we might be thy children

in thy love and mercy.

For as we hunger for

this food of our bodies,

so our souls hunger for

the food of eternal life.

Finish soon our days of sin,

and bring us to

everlasting peace...

...through the purifying

blood of thy son,

our Lord and only

Saviour Christ Jesus.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Thomasin,

where hast thou put

the silver cup?

Ist not on the shelf?

Nay.

In the six board then.

Taint there neither.

It has been disappeared

for some while.

Didst lose it?

I havent touched it.

Where has it gone then?

I havent touched it.

I have caught thee

trifling with it before.

She says she havent

touched it Katherine.

How thou couldst lose my

fathers silver wine cup...

...in this hovel, I cannot know.

- I have no...

- Peace child, it is gone.

Did a wolf vanish that too?

She havent touched

it Katherine.

What is amiss on this farm?

It is not natural.

Caleb?

Will you read out the chapter

of The Word tonight?

We must find some light

in our darkness.

Tomorrow we will have a

fast day but for our sins.

Thomasin...

Didst not bed them

down before supper?

You must sleep tonight, Kate.

Thou dost remember I love thee?

I do.

List me Kate.

I fear thou lookst too

much upon this affliction.

We must bend our

thoughts towards God,

not ourselves.

He hath never taken

a child from us.

Never a one, Kate.

Who might earn such grace?

We have been ungrateful

of Gods love.

- He hath cursed this family.

- No.

He hath taken us into...

...a very low condition to humble us

and to show us more of his grace.

Was not Christ was led into the

wilderness to be ill met by the devil?

We should neer left

the plantation.

Kate...

- We should never have left.

- That damned church!

There is naught hither.

What need we? Silver Chalices?

How dare you chide me on a cup?

Tis not for vanity that

I am grieved of it.

Katherine, I must tell thee...

- We might have sold it.

- What?

What fool will trade

for our corn?

List me.

Our daughter hath begat the

sign of her womanhood.

Thomasin?

Caleb?

Are yabed?

Mercy?

Jonas?

Shes old enough.

She must leave to
