The phrase that gives the sentence a humorous laughing voice is;

  • Particularly Pins

In the passage, "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," Benjamin Franklin describes a practice in his time when men and women will be accused of being witches.

They are subjected to several tests and the test in this passage was them being weighed against a Bible. It was believed that the weight of the Bible will supersede those of the witches and so, they will be thrown off.

Franklin describes these events in a comical manner to describe the folly of what they were doing.

When he said that they searched themselves to see if something of weight will be found among them, especially pins he was mocking them because pins are not known to be weighty.

"This is the blazon of the blemish that I bear on my neck;
This is the sign of sore loss that I have suffered there;
For the cowardice and coveting that I came to there;
This is the badge of false faith that I was found in there,...

"No, by God," said Sir Gawain, "that granted me life,
I shall grudge not the guerdon, grim though it prove;
Bestow but one stroke, and I shall stand still,
And you may lay on as you like till the last of my part
be paid."
