In the passage, "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," Benjamin Franklin describes a practice in his time when men and women will be accused of being witches.

They are subjected to several tests and the test in this passage was them being weighed against a Bible. It was believed that the weight of the Bible will supersede those of the witches and so, they will be thrown off.
