Punishments were sudden, and inquiry was never made into them, however brutal. There was the fire for Bibles, Testaments, and psalm-books; galleys for men; prisons and convents for women; and gibbets for preachers. In 1720 a large number of prisoners were captured in the famous old quarry near Nismes, long the seat of secret Protestant worship.
