Trying to help his wife, along with Giles Corey and Proctor, Francis Nurse brought a "testament" with ninety-one signatures on it of people who are farmers and members of the church. The people who signed it attest to the fact that they've known Rebecca and Martha Corey for many years, and they've never seen them have anything to do with the devil. They are swearing that both Rebecca and Martha are good women. Because their friends and neighbors were willing to sign this testament, they will now be arrested and brought in for questioning. So in his attempt to help his wife, Francis Nurse has now brought the wrath of the court down on ninety-one more people.
