Devils now can strike the minds of men with any Poisons
Devils = witches. IN my opinion, that accusations were made based on inequality of wmen and men in the society these times. As it is written here - "strike the minds of men with any poisons (from the Devil, maybe?). I feel like when woman had her own opinion, when she disagreed with man or when she would not behave according man´s rules, disagreeing with him )(and maybe even breaking the status of a man as a head of everything) she was considered "not normal or weird" and accused of witchcraft, which was very easy during that times.
