the whipping station is just a large wooden platform that serves to embarrass the peasant villagers that sin, they also hang adulterers and homosexuals.

adulterer
I am an adulterer. I have had an affair with another woman even though I already have a wife. I am sneaky and untrustworthy.
Is it really your noble duty to persecute an act of love here today? Does one not understand the heart wants what the heart wants? Who are we to deny the heart! Shut your mouth swine! How dare you speak of the heart after you violated the heart of your wife.  Oh, that's rich coming from you. You, a person I've seen sneaking around the bathhouses at night with the butcher's wife. How great it must be to feel about the law and to have the power to look down your nose at other. Why, you are no better than me. My personal matters should be of no concern to you, I am after all the King's official for this village.
