George Whitehead's Testimony

When the hand of the executioner was stayed from beating me...
I told the people that it was a proof of a minister of Christ, patiently to endure
afflictions, persecutions, stripes, imprisonments, &c ...
and while I stood with my stripes and wounds naked before them,
I then told the officers concerned, that if they had any more to lay upon me,
I was ready, and given up to suffer, it being in the cause of Christ, for conscience sake. p.106
