Springfield, 1636-1886: History of Town and City

The court as well as the town authorities kept a sharp hold upon church members in matters of discipline. In 1665 the County Court had Walter Lee before it for threshing corn on the Sabbath at Woronoco. We learn by the record that Lee was a hard case. It runs: "Walter Lee being presented and complayned of to this courte for his passing the Lords Day at Worronoco this last Winter in that he threshed corne on the Sabbath which act be acknowledged to be soe [source?] for his calling Isaak Sheldon a member of Old Nock and a member of the Devill. And for his contempt of the authority in Springfeild [sic] in saying that he though he might as well believe his boy (when he said Springfeild [sic] commissioners threated him with the stocks and promised him some new clothes) as the said Commissioners in declaring with his boy said against him: This court judged the said to pay as a fyne to the Courte the summe of 20s." Walter Lee's rebelliousness may be religious in nature, since the disciples of Jesus are questioned for threshing corn on the Sabbath: See Mark 2:23-28: “One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”
