	Trial by ordeal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The exact use of the ordeal varied considerably, a Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon practice was for the accused to walk nine paces with a red-hot iron bar held in both hands.
		A variant on the ordeal by water was the requirement to remove a stone from a pot of boiling water, the injury sustained indicating guilt as in the trial by fire, sometimes the liquid medium used could be oil or molten lead.
		The trial by ordeal was something different from the peine forte et dure, which involved pressing an accused person who refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty with heavy weights until he relented or died.

		By an ordeal, appeal was made to divine authority to decide the guilt or innocence of one accused of a crime or to choose between disputants.
		The ordeal by fire : walking through fire or putting the hand into a flame : was common, and there were other fiery ordeals, such as walking on hot plowshares or plunging the hand into molten metal.
		One form of ordeal, the trial by water, was that used to determine whether or not an accused woman was a witch.

	Legal Definition of Ordeal
		ORDEAL - An obsolete common law practice, discouraged by the Church, which submitted the accused, or the accuser, or both, to the Judgement of God, usually with fire or water.
		The trial by ordeal was either by fire or by water.
		In cold water, the parties suspected were adjudged innocent if their bodies were not borne up by the water contrary to the course of nature; and if, after putting their bare arms or legs into scalding water they came out unhurt they were taken to be innocent of the crime.

	Oath And Ordeal Signs, Second Article
		Thoroughly congenial to the ordeal interpretation of the baptismal symbolism is the New Testament’s exposition of baptism as a participation with Christ in the judgment ordeal of his death, burial, and resurrection.
		In that case we might compare the imagery to the ordeal combat of the champions David and Goliath, wherein, Yahweh having judged in favor of Israel, David stripped the giant of his armour and carried it away in triumph.
		Graphic confirmation of the ordeal significance of baptism is thus found in the Pauline integration of baptism with the messianic death-burial-resurrection schema, especially where Paul expounds the latter as both a circumcision and a judicial ordeal by combat.

	Martha Stewart's Surreal Ordeal - Mises Institute
		Microsoft, which (incredibly) did not maintain a full-time lobbying presence in DC until the late 1990s, learned this lesson by almost having its operations effectively socialized by Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson’s initial decision in an antitrust trial initiated by a much more politically connected firm.
		Martha Stewart, we can assume, will walk away from this trial with the same lesson and will not avoid nurturing the necessary relationships with (and the coffers of) her demonstrated enemies as a form of insurance from similar ordeals in the future.
		Finally (and most importantly), the gall—the heroic gall—to fight such absurd charges is crucial for a free society. We should be thankful that Stewart, whatever her faults, was willing to stake her reputation and wealth to fight this surreal ordeal in court.
