Method Issues Proximity search – Boolean logic Words: markers of spatial awareness Colonial awareness of the Atlantic World Writers, Readers, More Writers Spatial clustering

Out of Africa AFRICA: Is it religiously dangerous? ENGLAND: witch-hunting in the 17c NEW ENGLAND: Holy Commonwealth and the witchcraft cosmology THE SOUTH: Proslavery religion
