the stool of repentance

the stool of repentance
уст.
публичное унижение [ист. позорный стул (в шотландских церквах)]

The Parliament met at Sterling, and shortly after brought all the lords of the other party thither, who appeared to have credit enough to wipe off all those stains with which the Engagement had defaced them, yet with submission to stand publicly in the stool of repentance, acknowledging their former transgression, as they all did. (E. Clarendon, ‘The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England’, OED) — Парламент собрался в Стерлинге, и в его заседаниях вскоре приняли участие все те лорды - сторонники короля, у которых хватило мужества смыть позор, которым они себя покрыли, поддерживая тайный договор Карла I с шотландскими пресвитерианцами. Они подверглись публичному унижению и признали свои грехи.
