Engraving of needles used to prick suspected witches and so to determine their guilt

"...their ‘seekers’ had been upgraded to ‘prickers’ who not only continued to seek out the Devil’s Mark but now used needles, knives and bodkins to prick their victims to see if they flinched or bled. If they did neither, it was seen as a surefire sign of witchcraft, which led some to believe that Hopkins and his prickers used retractable blades to make sure no flinching or bloodletting was observed."
