1664. He was punished in the following manner: in the region overhead, at a middle height, in front of spirits and angels, he was driven toward a spanned rope. As he dashed toward it, he ducked his head to go under it, but was immediately tied to the rope by his back. Then he was spun around it like a linen cloth, all the way to his feet, one of which I saw sticking to the rope. So his front parts were showing before spirits and angels, from his head to his feet, and thus he was spun around, visible to all the spirits and angels, at the same time struck with shame, and likewise with pain.
