In July of that year, he, in company with John Crandall and John Clarke, arrived in Lynn, Massachusetts, on a visit to William Witter, an aged member of the church in Newport. The following Sunday, as Mr. Clark was preaching to a small assembly in the house, he was arrested with his companions and the next day all were sent to prison in Boston. Mr. Clark was tried for the crime of preachingthe gospel and administering the sacrament while under sentence of excommunication, of disclaiming against the sprinkling of the infants, and similar charges. July 31, sentence was passed. Mr. Holmes was fined £ 30, Mr. Clarke £ 20, and Mr. Crandall £ 5, in default of this fine they were to be publicly whipped. Elder Clarke'sfine was paid by his friends and Elder Crandall was released on bail but Elder Holmes preferred to submit topunishment, rather than to acknowledge that he was in the wrong. He was kept in prison until September,when he received the infliction of thirty stripes. The sentence was executed with such severity that those who, in after years, saw the scars upon his back (which he was wont to call the marks of the Lord Jesus), expressed a wonder that he should survive. In the manuscripts of Gov. Joseph Jenckes it is recorded "that in many days, if not some weeks, he could take no rest but as he lay upon his knees and elbows." He was advised to make his escape by night, and says, "I departed, and the next day after, while I was on my journey, the constables came to search at the house where I lodged, so I escaped their hands, and was by the good hand of my HeavenlyFather brought home again to my wife and eight children. The brethren of our town and Providence having
taken pains to meet me four miles in the woods, where we rejoice together in the Lord. "
