Used in “Young Goodman Brown”, third page, fourth paragraph [19]. Used as a verb to describe a certainty of how Goodman’s family never would have been into any evil practices.
Or, verily, I marvel not seeing that the least rumor of the sort would have driven them from New England.
Goodman was describing how his family would have been shocked, and ashamed at the mere rumor that their family would have been involved in any sort of wickedness.
