Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. DOUBLE-TONGUED AND NAUGHTY WOMEN. I AM much impressed in reading the court records of those early days, to note the vast care taken in all the colonies to prevent lying, slandering, gossiping, backbiting, and idle babbling, or, as they termed it, brab- ling; to punish common sowers and movers of dissensions, I suppose. The loving neighborliness which proved as strong and as indispensable a foundation for a successful colony as did godliness, made the settlers resent deeply any violations, though petty, of the laws of social kindness. They felt that what they termed opprobrious schandalls tending to defa- macon and disparagment could not be endured. One old author declares that blabbing, babbling, tale-telling, and discovering the faults and frailities of others is a most Common and evill practice. He asserts that a womanwoman should be a main store house of secresie, a Maggazine of taciturnitie, the closet of connivence, the mumbudget of silence, the cloake bagge of rouncell, the cap- case, fardel, or pack of friendly toleration;, which, as a whole, seems to be a good deal to ask. Men were, as appears by the records, more frequently brought up for these offences of the tongue, but women were not spared either in indictment or punishment. In Windsor, Conn., one woman was whipped for wounding a neighbor, not in the flesh, but in the sensibilities. In 1652 Joane Barnes, of Plymouth, Mass., was indicted for slandering, and sentenced to sitt in the stockes during the Courts pleasure, and a paper whereon her facte written in Capitall letters to be made faste vnto her hatt or neare vnto her all the tyme of her sitting there. In 1654 another Joane in Northampton County, Va., suffered a peculiarly degrading punishment for slander. ...… (més)
