I
was
within
my
rights
in
refusing
to
obey
his
suspension
.
He
had
no
resolution
of
the
Presbytery
behind
him
.
"
"
Maybe
no
.
But
was
there
no
excess
of
vehemence
,
Mr
.
David
,
in
defying
one
who
is
your
elder
?
Would
not
the
soft
word
have
availed
better
?
You
seem
to
have
spoken
to
him
like
a
dominie
to
a
school
bairn
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
do
not
deny
that
I
was
in
a
temper
,
but
if
I
was
angry
it
was
surely
with
a
righteous
anger
.
Would
you
have
me
let
that
black
business
of
the
Wood
be
smothered
just
because
Chasehope
,
with
his
sleek
face
and
his
cunning
tongue
,
has
imposed
on
the
Presbytery
?
And
for
the
charge
against
myself
,
would
you
,
I
ask
you
,
have
refused
succour
to
any
poor
soul
that
came
seeking
it
,
though
his
sins
were
scarlet
on
him
?
"
"
I
’
ll
not
say
.
I
’
m
a
timid
man
by
nature
,
and
I
’
m
so
deeply
concerned
with
my
own
state
towards
God
that
I
’
m
apt
to
give
other
duties
the
go
-
by
-
-
the
more
shame
to
me
!
In
the
matter
of
the
Wood
I
think
you
have
done
honestly
and
bravely
,
and
I
doubt
I
wouldna
have
had
the
courage
to
do
likewise
myself
.
The
Lord
be
thankit
that
such
a
perplexity
never
came
my
way
!
.
.
.
As
for
Montrose
’
s
man
,
what
am
I
to
say
?
Mr
.
Mungo
will
quote
Scripture
against
you
,
and
it
’
s
not
for
me
to
deny
the
plenary
inspiration
of
the
whole
Word
,
though
I
whiles
think
the
Kirk
in
Scotland
founds
a
wee
thing
over
much
on
the
Old
Testament
and
forgets
the
New
.
But
I
can
see
great
trouble
for
you
there
,
Mr
.
David
,
for
the
view
of
Kirk
Aller
will
be
the
view
of
the
Presbytery
-
-
and
the
view
of
the
General
Assembly
,
if
the
thing
ever
wins
that
far
.
"
"
But
what
would
you
yourself
have
done
in
like
case
?
Would
you
have
turned
the
suppliant
from
your
doors
?
"
"
I
do
not
know
.
To
be
honest
with
you
,
I
do
not
know
.
I
am
a
weak
vessel
,
and
very
fearful
.
But
in
such
a
case
I
should
pray
-
-
ay
,
I
should
pray
to
be
given
strength
-
-
to
do
as
you
did
,
Mr
.
David
.
"
The
young
man
smiled
.
"
I
’
ve
got
the
comfort
I
wanted
.
I
’
m
content
to
be
judged
by
you
,
for
you
are
nearer
the
Throne
than
the
whole
Presbytery
of
Aller
and
the
Merse
.
"
"
No
,
no
.
Dinna
say
that
.
I
’
m
the
feeblest
and
poorest
of
God
’
s
servants
,
and
at
the
moment
I
’
m
weakening
on
what
I
said
,
and
doubting
whether
a
man
should
not
bow
to
lawful
authority
,
and
cultivate
a
humble
spirit
,
as
the
first
of
the
Christian
graces
.
What
for
did
our
Lord
found
the
Kirk
if
it
wasna
to
be
obeyed
?
"
"
Bide
where
you
were
,
Mr
.
James
.
What
kind
of
a
Presbyterian
would
you
make
yourself
out
?
By
your
way
we
should
be
still
under
the
bondage
of
Rome
,
because
Rome
was
once
the
lawful
authority
.
A
bonny
Covenanter
,
you
!
If
the
Kirk
constrains
conscience
unduly
,
and
makes
a
tyranny
out
of
Christian
freedom
,
then
the
Kirk
is
no
more
to
be
respected
than
the
mass
the
old
priests
mumbled
in
Woodilee
.
