“Reprehension is a kind of middle thing betwixt admonition and correction: it is sharpe admonition, but a milde correction.

[Blows are] the last remedy which a parent can use: a remedy which may doe good when nothing else can.”
—William Gouge, Puritan writer. As quoted in The Rise and Fall of Childhood by C. John Sommerville, ch. 11 (rev. 1990)
