  2. Made their Laws according to what the Bible states in the Old Testament.

  3. Benefit Of Clergy • The convicted may plead benefit of clergy, in which case, if they can read a passage from the Bible without one mistake, their sentence will be reduced.

  4. Stocks • The convicted will have his head and hands placed in a locked stockade for the remainder of the day, and the community will be invited to pelt him with food. The convicted must clean up anything he is pelted with.

  5. Wearing A Sign • A milder punishment than branding. • The convicted must make their own sign to hang around their neck, which shows their crime.

  6. Branding • The convicted is marked with letters that stand for their crime. • HT for Hog Thief, A for Adulterer. • The branding can be on the cheek, forehead, or more mildly on the hand finger.

  7. Ducking Stool • For Women Only. • Case of gossip. • The woman shall be confined in a chair and dunked in water.

  8. Whipping • For Men Only. • Common Punishment • A number of “lashes” is administered to the convicted back. Lashes usually number from 5 to 20.

  9. Public Shamming • Milder form of punishment. • Convicted is pulled on a rope through the town, while the community is invited to point fingers at him, tell him he is naught, and pelt him with small objects.
