The Howe Women in Court, 7 October 1651, New Haven

"_____ How, the daughter of Capt. How, was called before the Court (her mother being p^rsent) and told that she is complained of for a prophane swearer; not onely as she is a Christian, and by her soule, but by the Holy name of God: w^th other stubborne miscariages to her mother, and in a prophane wicked way speaking of the scriptures, saying it was not worth the reading, or to that purpose. She was asked what she said to the charge, and wished to owne her sinn and show her repentance for it. She boldly refused and said she desired it might bee proved. She was told by such wayes she will but make her punishment more heavy:

M^ris How said that her daughter hath learned some of this ill cariage at Goodwife Wickams. where she went to scoole. She was told that the Court will inquire after that, for they will not suffer any to be instruments of corrupting chilldren if they know it, specially such as keepe scoole:/"^[2]
