Prynne had been punished for a publication, he was a second time arraigned for a like offence. I thought, said Lord Finch, that Prynne had lost his ears already; but, added he, looking at the prisoner, there is something left yet; and an officer of the court, removing the hair, displayed the mutilated organs. I pray to God, replied Prynne, you may have ears to hear me. A cPrynne, you may have ears to hear me. A crowd gathered round the scaffold, June 30. where he, and Bastwick, and Burton, were to suffer mutilation.
