Notes
| The constable arrested . . . Nicholas Phelps . . . Nicholas Phelps had heard some one say that the Quakers denied magistrates and ministers, and he gave them a paper stating the contrary . . . Upon his entrance to the jail, Phelps was cruelly whipped, but his physical condition excited no compassion; and within half-an-hour each of the others received ten strokes with a knotted cord whip. Phelps was whipped three times in five days, ten cruel strokes each time, with a three-fold corded whip, with knots. Added to the horrors of his imprisonment, was the thought of affairs at home, as it was then harvest season. But his spirit did not waiver. |
