I find now that there is also a 1663 "cock" = penis, redacted ("in a
contemporary hand") in a Suffolk County, Massachusetts, court
record.  And (from the same secondary source, but other court cases)
"cunny" = cunt, 1663; knock (n) = vagina, 1664; and "knock (v) =
copulate with, 1681.

(These were sent to Jesse via email in August 2006.)
