kawy commented on the word necke-verse
"Since as early as the eleventh century, if a prisoner convicted of a capital offense could read the first verse of the Fifty-first Psalm, he would often be pardoned. The catch was, however, that this 'test' had to be undertaken in Latin, a language that few outside the Church could understand." -Forgotten English
