Then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard etc., (as solemnly as the sword-bearer of london before the lord mayor) the wizard was first put in the scale, and over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses, and then the bible was put in the other scale, (which, being kept down before) was immediately let go; but, to the great surprize of the spectators, flesh and bones came down plump, and outweighed that great good book by abundance. after the same manner the others were served, and their lumps of mortality1 severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles. refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this narrative. which phrase from the excerpt most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous? "then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard…" "…their lumps of mortality severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles." "…then the bible was put in the other scale,…" "…over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses,…"

"…their Lumps of Mortality severally were too heavy for Moses and all the Prophets and Apostles."

Explanation:

This is the phrase that makes the trial seem ridiculous. In this trial, we see that there is a scale, and on one side, the accused person is placed. On the other side, the Bible is put. The author implies that people believed the Bible would prove to be heavier. However, the scale shown the man to be so. The trial is made even more ridiculous by the tone of the author. The author tells us that this "lump of mortality" (the man) proved to be heavier than "Moses and all the Prophets and Apostles." The sentence is meant to mock the conclusion, which would be obvious to anyone not involved in the absurdity of the trial.
