William Edward Hartpole Lecky Quotes
On The Continent, Every Attempt To Substitute A Lighter Punishment For Death Was Fiercely Denounced As A Direct Violation Of The Divine Law. Indeed, Some Persons Went So Far As To Question The Lawfulness Of Strangling The Witch Before She Was Burnt. Her Crime, They Said, Was Treason Against The Almighty, And Therefore To Punish It By Any But The Most Agonizing Deaths Was An Act Of Disrespect To Him. Besides, The Penalty In The Levitical Code Was Stoning, And Stoning Had Been Pronounced By The Jewish Theologians To Be A Still More Painful Death Than The Stake.
