Answer:

The phrase "the next warm Weather, naked" adds humor.

Explanation:

In these lines, Franklin recounts a story that does not seem very logical. He talks about a witch trial, and he tells us that some women were being tried for witchcraft. However, he also tells us that people believed these "witches" were being "supported" by the "shifts and garters" with which they were bound. This is an absurd notion. Franklin build on this absurdity by presenting an even sillier scenario: that the women were going to be tried naked the next time there was warm weather.

Here is a essay I wrote about emojis a few years back(7th grade maybe) because I was going through and emoji stage. I ask that you don't copy it vebatem because you could get in trouble 
Emojis: ‘small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, used in electronic communication.” These small images are huge. Emojis have an extensive history, but are wrongly compared to emoticons. Emoji are very impactful on today's world. Emojis are awesome. Emojis have been around since 1995. In 1995 when pagers were booming with Japanese teenagers, a Japanese company, NTT Docomo, decided to add a heart♥  symbol to one of their pagers, the Pocket Bell. They later dropped the heart, which lead customers to move to a different company. After realizing their mistake, they needed something new to attract  their customers, and the emojis were born. The man who invented emojis is named Shigetaka Kurita. He was part of the team working on”i-mode”, a project that was just beginning to take shape. It would be the world’s first widespread mobile internet platform, combining features like weather forecasts, entertainment reservations, news, and email.  At first, it was very difficult to create an emoji because the pagers could only fit 48 letters. However, just one month after Shigetaka Kurita got approval on emojis, he came up with the world's first 180 emojis. Emojis have become so popular that they have spread not only to text messages, but also to other networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Emojis are often wrongly associated with Emoticons, even though they are different. Emojis , by definition are ‘any of various small images, symbols, or icons used in text fields in electronic communication (as in text messages, email, and social media) to express the emotional attitude of the writer, convey information sufficiently, communicate a message playfully without using words, etc.” Whereas, Emoticons by definition are,”a group of keyboard characters :) that are used to represent a facial expression (such as a smile or frown)” Emojis have impacted the world in many ways. They are extremely popular. They are used in text messaging, people make stories with them, and popular Brooklyn Nine- Nine character, Gina, expresses how impactful emojis are on her saying, “The English language cannot fully capture the depth and complexity of my thoughts so I’m incorporating Emoji into my speech to better express myself. Winky face.”  In April 2015, emojis were made more diverse by adding numerous different skin tones. as well as many different family combinations. Emojis are more than what they look like on the surface. They have an extensive history, are wrongly compared to emoticons and have a huge impact. In other words, Emojis speak louder than words! <span>
