I must confess, that when I called to mind the punishment which had been inflicted on me through her means, and the manner in which she had attempted to betray me to my death, I felt very much inclined to revenge myself by scourging her severely; but although the affection I once felt for her had passed away, I had a natural tenderness for the sex, which made me abandon this petty revenge.
Basel Museum I Gethsemane II The Kiss of Judas III Before Pontius Pilate IV The Scourging V The Mocking VI The Way to Calvary VII "It is finished" VIII The Entombment Another great religious picture, once no less renowned than Oberriedt's altar-paintings, has suffered a worse fate.

It was in his power also to pronounce sentence of scourging. Law of Private Offenses In all other cases, where the individual alone was injured and not the public peace, the state only interposed upon the appeal of the party injured, who caused his opponent, or in case of need by laying violent hands on him compelled him, to appear personally along with himself before the king.
I saw a sunburnt land and a people vowed to the stern service of Jehovah.

I confess that I wilfully did not undo the door the first time she knocked but I should have unfastened it the second if I had not thought you had gone to do it yourself.
More cruel than even the Romans, the inventors of crucifixion, the Apaches are wont to bind their captives to these dead cacti, which supply at once scourging thorns, binding stake, and consuming fuel, and, kindling a fire at the top, leave it to burn slowly down to the victim, and, long before it despatches him, to twist his body and limbs into what appear to the Apache sense of humor to be exquisitely ludicrous contortions.
All that day Don Quixote and Sancho remained in the village and inn waiting for night, the one to finish off his task of scourging in the open country, the other to see it accomplished, for therein lay the accomplishment of his wishes.
A confessor had, for the last three years, directed Mademoiselle Cormon rather stupidly in the path of maceration; he advised the use of scourging, which, if modern medical science is to be believed, produces an effect quite the contrary to that expected by the worthy priest, whose hygienic knowledge was not extensive.
