Howbeit the latter Pharifees,fay, the adulterers death was Strangling: Mabnony in Sanhedrin, chap.' 5. fe &.t 3. And in another place, he openeth this and the other like lawes more fully, thus. Who fo preftmptnonyycvm- mitteth anyof all the unlawful copulation fpokenof in the law, is guiltyof cutting ai , Levit. r 8.29. and if they deeit ignorantly, they are' bring the Sin- offing appointed. And there be fame -of the Nakednef fits [that is, the unlawfal copalitions] which define death by the Iudges ; more then the cutting-off, , wlaieh ír meet for them all. Of t1;o4 which are to be put to death by the ludo es , fame are to at e by ftaning, and tome by burning , and f me 4 f ranglmg.
