besides for bringing all[308] his fellow servants to testifie[309] on
his side, wherein they justly failled[310] him. It was thought fitt by
the general assembly (the Governour himselfe[311] giving sentence), that
he should stand[312] fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory,
viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4^{th}, and so likewise Thursday, fryday and
Satturday[313] next following, and every of those fower dayes should be
publiquely whipped. Now, as touching the neglecte of his worke, what
satisfaction ought to be made to his M^r for that is referred to the
Governour and Counsell of Estate.

This afternoon the committies brought in a reporte, what they had done
as concerning the third sorte of lawes, the discussing whereof spente
the residue of that daye. Excepte onely the consideration of a petition
of M^r John Rolfes againste Captaine John Martine[316] for writing a
letter to him wherein (as M^r Rolfe alledgeth) he taxeth him both
unseemly[317] and amisse of certaine thinges[318] wherein he was never
