I observed the use of the phrase "birds about you". I am not immediately sure how to interpret this, but it stands out to me as an idiom which I've never heard before. I would presume that he's referring those present in the courtroom as "birds".

I observe that the person questioning the nurse asked her if she believes the alleged victims were suffering voluntarily or involuntarily. I interpret this as a rhetorical question, as when she states that she can't tell, the questioner states that "everyone can judge".

I observe the statement that while the contents of this document describe true occurrences, there were certain minute details that were left out ("pretermitted") due to the nature of the examination in question. My interpretation of this is that it's meant to be a disclaimer for those reading the document, perhaps for legal purposes at the time.

I observed the use of the word "Witchcraft", which sticks out as a very strong word choice. my interpretation is that it speaks to the time period, as this was a time when there was still widespread belief in witchcraft as well as witch trials going on in Europe.
