   In France most of the "Witches" they burned were Huguenot.   
   The usual trick was to get them to say the LP and if they   
   got it right, *SOMEONE had taught them to Read* so they   
   went straight to the fire.  I'd be guessing that similar   
   things occurred in Scotland's religious wars, "Old Alliance"   
   an' all.
