Hanky Panky, 1656 edition

...few men knowing the juggling Witchcraft that was therein, until at the command of the Parliament it being pulled down, there were found therein the several slights to move the Arms, Eyes, and Heads of the Images, and the Pipes to convey the water to make the Images shed tears in compassion to the people's prayers, and to convey Milk into the breasts of the Images of the Virgin Mary...

--From A Candle in the Dark--

Moving statues people probably wouldn't believe today, but tears and milk, yes!
