Forfar, in 1057, after the slaughter of the usurper Macbeth, when he created the titles of duke, marquis, earl, and baron. Though Princy knew not what wrung his master's heart, he tended by his gambols to soothe his sorrows, in his solitary walks, for fully nine years, till he gently died, twelve days after Mr Thoms, who had contributed greatly to his banishment. He contributed 8s. 9d. yearly, and ungrudgingly, to the support of the State. When decoyed, we were no more like what we had been, than the ruins of Falkland, Linlithgow, and Craigmillar are what these palaces and castles were, when tenanted by Scotland's bonny Mary. The splendid cemetery at Warriston, and those forming at Rosebank, Prestonfield, Grange, Dalry, and Dean, will not cover all the aspersions of the ignorant and malevolent; but while they gnash their teeth at us, they cannot frustrate Jehovah's eternal designs, nor prevent us, like David, encouraging ourself in the Lord our God, 1 Sam. xxx. 6, Psal. xxxv. 11-16.

Dr Gordon, in his Moderatorship sermon, said, all the heathen who were to be saved would be saved, though no missionary were sent to them. What would he have said had he been, on the 23rd September, at the Intrusion meeting, laying the foundation of the Free Church at Chryston? Mr James Anderson, supervisor of Excise, said, no man could deny a fact, for facts were chiels that wadna ding.
