A quick definition of finger pillory:

Term: Finger Pillory

Definition: A finger pillory is a small wooden device used in the past to punish people who misbehaved during church services. It was like a miniature version of the stocks, but instead of confining the whole body, it only confined the fingers. The person's fingers would be placed in the holes of the pillory, and they would be unable to move them until they were released. It was a way to shame and discipline people who were not behaving properly in church.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A finger pillory is a type of punishment device used in ecclesiastical law. It is a small wooden framework with holes where a person's fingers are placed to confine them. This punishment was used for people who misbehaved during church services.

Example: If someone was caught talking or disrupting the church service, they might be punished by being put in a finger pillory. Their fingers would be confined in the holes of the pillory, preventing them from moving or using their hands.

This example illustrates how the finger pillory was used as a form of punishment for people who misbehaved during church services. It was meant to shame and humiliate the offender in front of the congregation, and to deter others from committing similar offenses.
