 The marriage did not begin well . Quiney had recently impregnated another woman , Margaret Wheeler , who died in childbirth along with her child ; both were buried on 15 March 1616 . A few days later , on the 26 March , Quiney appeared before the Bawdy Court , which dealt , among other things , with " whoredom and uncleanliness . " Confessing in open court to " carnal copulation " with Margaret Wheeler , he submitted himself for correction and was sentenced to open penance " in a white sheet ( according to custom ) " before the Congregation on three Sundays . He also had to admit to his crime , this time wearing ordinary clothes , before the Minister of Bishopton in Warwickshire . The first part of the sentence was remitted , essentially letting him off with a five @-@ shilling fine to be given to the parish 's poor . As Bishopton had no church , but only a chapel , he was spared any public humiliation .
