Note 182 — CHAP. LVIII.
Thomas Johnes translation
Amende honorable,—'A most ignominious punishment inflicted on great offenders, who were led through the streets barefooted and bareheaded (with a burning link in their hands) unto the seat of justice, or some public place, and there to confess their offences, and ask forgiveness of the party they had wronged.'——Cotgrave.
