To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Corporal punishment was also extended in offenses committed against the master solely. In 1673 the General Court ordered that a servant " for scan- dalous false and abusive language against his master have thirty nine lashes publicly and well laid on in James City and that he appear at Middlesex County Court next and there openly upon his knees in the said court ask forgiveness which being done is to take of any further punishment al- lotted him. " 2 Besides the power to regulate his servant'...s conduct and en- force the performance of his duties, the master acquired a sort of general control over his servant's person and lib- erty of action. By custom the servant enjoyed frequent respites from service and might freely employ this time as he saw fit. In consequence of an abuse of this privilege, how- ever, it became necessary to restrict it upon the consent of his master. The plot of certain servants in Gloucester county in 1663 to rise against their masters and subvert the government caused great alarm throughout the colony, and led to a strict regulation of the liberty previously allowed ser- vants of leaving their masters' plantations and assembling together.
