Who having received such a charge
So strict an one from the magistrates, was doubly careful and
diligent: thrust them into the inner prison:
the innermost part of it, the lowest or furthest part of the
prison; so that there were the more doors, bolts, and bars, to
break open, and pass through, should they attempt to make their
escape: and made their feet fast in the stocks;
or "wood", a wooden machine, in which the feet of prisoners were
put for security, and which we call "the stocks"; some say it was
such an one, in which the neck as well as the feet were put, and
so might be the same with our "pillory".
