She protested in these words: " That it was evident they were going to act the works of darkness, or else they would have brought them forta paidicly and have declared their offences that all may bear and fear." For this utterauce she was committed to prison and they gave her " ten cruel stripes with u three fold corded knotted whip." shortly after-"though ve confessed when ve had her before you. that for ought ye knew, she had been of ar nald amcable character; and though some of you knew her father and called him Mr. Marbery and that she lid ixen well bred :as among men, and have so lived), and that she was the mother of many children : vet ye wuippel her for all that, and more- over told her; that ve weer likely to have a law to hang her if she came Iluther again." To which she answered : " If God calls us woe be to us if we come not, turl I question uot but he whom we love, will make us not to count our lives dear unto ourselves for the sake of his name. To which your Governor John Endicott replied : And we shall be as ready to take away your lives as ye shall be to iny them down."

The tradition is well established that John Scott met his death by being shot by an Indian in the door way of his own house. lle made a will, however, as is seen by references made to it in dcerls. though a copy of it has not been found. Perhaps therefore the effect of the shooting was not in- stantaneous death.
