Rutherford
himself
?
Ay
,
and
in
the
Bishops
’
War
you
’
ll
mind
how
Amos
Ritchie
was
staunch
to
uphold
the
Covenant
with
the
auld
matchlock
that
had
been
his
gudesire
’
s
.
There
’
s
no
lack
of
true
religion
in
Woodilee
.
"
"
There
’
s
no
lack
of
carnal
pride
,
Mr
.
Mungo
.
The
folk
of
Woodilee
are
ready
enough
for
any
stramash
in
Kirk
or
State
.
But
what
of
their
perishing
souls
,
I
ask
?
Are
they
striving
to
get
a
grip
of
Christ
,
as
a
bird
scrapes
with
its
claws
at
a
stone
wall
?
And
do
they
bring
forth
works
meet
for
repentance
?
"
"
There
was
no
clash
of
cauld
morality
in
worthy
Mr
.
Macmichael
,
"
said
Mr
.
Proudfoot
sourly
.
"
Is
there
the
spirit
of
God
in
the
people
?
That
’
s
what
I
want
to
ken
.
There
’
s
ill
stories
in
the
countryside
anent
Woodilee
.
The
Black
Wood
could
tell
some
tales
if
the
trees
could
talk
.
"
Mr
.
Muirhead
,
having
finished
his
meal
and
said
a
second
grace
,
was
picking
his
teeth
in
great
good
-
humour
.
"
Hoot
toots
,
Mr
.
James
,
you
’
ll
give
our
young
brother
a
scunner
of
the
place
,
to
which
it
has
pleased
the
Almighty
to
call
him
,
before
he
has
had
a
look
at
it
himself
.
I
’
m
not
denying
that
the
Wood
is
ower
near
Woodilee
.
It
’
s
a
wanchancy
thing
for
any
parochine
to
have
a
muckle
black
forest
flung
around
it
like
a
maud
[
plaid
]
.
And
no
doubt
the
Devil
walks
about
like
a
roaring
lion
in
Woodilee
as
in
other
bits
.
But
there
’
s
men
of
God
here
to
resist
him
.
I
tell
you
,
sirs
,
there
have
been
more
delations
to
the
Presbytery
for
the
sin
of
witchcraft
in
Woodilee
than
in
any
other
parish
on
the
water
of
Aller
.
"
"
And
what
does
that
prove
,
Mr
.
Mungo
?
"
"
That
there
’
s
wealth
of
prayerful
and
eident
[
careful
]
folk
to
confound
the
Adversary
.
This
is
no
season
to
despair
of
Kirk
and
Covenant
,
when
this
day
they
hold
the
crown
of
the
causeway
.
You
’
ll
no
have
heard
of
the
astonishing
mercy
vouchsafed
to
us
in
England
?
A
post
came
to
Kirk
Aller
yestreen
,
and
it
seems
that
some
weeks
syne
there
was
a
great
battle
beside
the
city
of
York
,
where
our
Scots
wrought
mightily
,
and
our
own
Davie
Leslie
gave
the
King
’
s
horsemen
their
kail
through
the
reek
.
What
does
that
portend
?
"
"
It
portends
,
"
said
Mr
.
Proudfoot
,
whom
food
did
not
mellow
,
"
that
our
pure
and
reformed
Kirk
of
Scotland
is
linked
more
than
ever
with
sectaries
and
antinomians
and
those
,
like
the
bloody
and
deceitful
Cromwell
,
that
would
defile
the
milk
of
the
Word
with
the
sour
whey
of
their
human
inventions
.
What
avails
a
triumphant
Kirk
if
its
doctrine
be
sullied
?
