Several books mention the three knots. One fairly modern book said it was not made of rope, but of gut, which was supposedly more cruel. <br /><br />Recently, I was reading the Ecclesiastical History of Massachusetts. Books by Quakers Edward Burroughs, William Sewell, or George Bishop were probably my source, but it could have been the Annals of Salem, or Norton's Ensign. I have those in PDF, but they're also in Google Books. I think I read another letter by the Sandwich Quakers, that logically pointed out how they were illegally held, but I can't find it: if I do find it, I'll edit it into the post above.<br /><br />For the frequency of whippings, the above books discuss the escalation of violence.Christy K Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988458745832012138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582751663390398171.post-12340877297497978302012-06-27T08:33:39.670-07:002012-06-27T08:33:39.670-07:00Christy, can you tell me more about the scourge?

Like you, she is interested in the plight of non-conformist women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276810059497068046noreply@blogger.com
