And
that
’
s
a
word
in
season
for
you
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
"
said
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
"
I
hear
ye
’
ve
set
the
haill
parish
of
Woodilee
by
the
lugs
with
wanton
accusations
.
You
’
ll
admit
none
to
the
Table
,
says
you
,
till
there
is
public
confession
of
some
unkenned
iniquity
.
I
applaud
zeal
in
a
young
minister
,
but
it
seems
you
’
ve
fair
got
your
leg
ower
the
trams
,
and
the
serious
folk
of
Woodilee
are
troubled
to
ken
what
ye
mean
.
Have
a
care
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
lest
this
zeal
of
yours
be
but
human
impatience
.
This
is
no
time
to
sow
confusion
among
God
’
s
people
.
"
The
minister
of
Kirk
Aller
had
lost
his
air
of
rough
good
-
humour
.
It
was
a
hard
face
and
an
inquisitorial
eye
that
he
bent
on
David
.
"
I
take
my
stand
on
the
first
of
Mr
.
Proudfoot
’
s
counsels
,
"
said
the
latter
.
"
If
the
day
of
trial
is
coming
,
our
cause
must
be
pure
,
and
there
must
be
no
Canaanitish
thing
in
our
midst
.
When
I
am
clear
about
the
sins
of
Woodilee
,
the
Presbytery
will
have
further
news
of
me
.
"
The
young
man
’
s
speech
was
too
assured
to
please
Mr
.
Muirhead
.
He
drew
down
his
eyebrows
till
they
formed
a
straight
line
bisecting
his
huge
expanse
of
face
.
"
Have
a
care
,
have
a
care
,
I
counsel
you
,
"
he
said
crossly
.
"
I
can
tell
you
that
there
’
s
many
an
auld
exercised
professor
in
Woodilee
that
’
s
sore
concerned
about
your
doings
.
"
Mr
.
Proudfoot
added
his
reproof
.
"
When
I
mind
on
the
precious
work
I
witnessed
in
that
very
parish
in
the
month
of
March
,
I
will
not
believe
that
the
Devil
has
got
the
master
hand
.
Examine
yourself
,
I
rede
you
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
and
see
if
the
beam
be
not
in
your
own
eye
.

David
rode
away
from
Kirk
Aller
in
the
company
of
Mr
.
Fordyce
of
Cauldshaw
,
but
they
had
not
ridden
a
mile
before
there
was
a
clatter
of
hoofs
behind
them
,
and
the
minister
of
Bold
joined
himself
to
their
company
.
His
beast
was
fractious
,
having
had
an
unaccustomed
feed
of
oats
in
the
Cross
Keys
stable
,
and
Mr
.
Proudfoot
,
since
he
was
an
awkward
horseman
,
had
to
spend
much
of
his
energy
in
keeping
it
to
the
road
.
But
what
time
he
could
spare
from
his
task
he
devoted
to
catechizing
David
,
and
for
the
three
miles
during
which
their
course
lay
together
his
tongue
never
stopped
.
"
There
’
s
an
ill
fama
of
you
gone
abroad
,
Mr
.
Sempill
,
and
it
is
my
duty
as
your
elder
in
the
Lord
’
s
service
to
satisfy
myself
thereanent
.
It
is
reported
that
you
pervert
the
doctrine
of
election
into
grace
,
maintaining
that
this
blessed
estate
may
be
forfeit
by
a
failure
in
good
works
,
as
if
the
filthy
rags
of
man
’
s
righteousness
were
mair
than
the
bite
of
a
flea
in
face
of
the
eternal
purposes
of
God
.
"
"
I
say
that
a
man
who
believes
that
his
redemption
through
Christ
gives
him
a
licence
to
sin
is
more
doubly
damned
than
if
he
had
never
had
a
glimpse
of
grace
.
"
"
But
ye
maun
distinguish
.
