[188] Sometimes he ran on foot, having lost several horses in
his remarkable escapes, one of which was shot under him at
Linlithgow-bridge.

[189] The week before he was taken, he married two persons; and being in
the Leewood, John Weir and his wife brought him his dinner. Being
pressed to eat, he said, Let me alone, I cannot be pressed: for I took
not that meal of meat these 30 years but I could have taken as much when
I rose up as when I sat down. Vide Walk. Relation, page 45.

[190] See his examination and answers at large in Wodrow's history Vol.
II. page 184.

apprehended he heard or saw the enemy; the last of which he was in
company with another returning from a sermon. But I forbear to relate
these as I did with a late instance in the life of Mr. Cargil lest they
should seem incredible in this sceptical age.

[197] I have been more full in relating the way and manner of this
skirmish, as it is omitted, so far as I can learn, in the histories of
the sufferings of the church of Scotland.

[198] This seems to have been the skirmish at Bewly bog only mentioned
in history.

[199] Whether this was Mr Law after the revolution minister at
Edinburgh, Mr. Hutcheson or another, I can not say.

[200] Probably this was R. Garnock, who though a private man, was

[201] N. B. The faithful and pious Mr. Renwick was present, and much
affected at this execution: after which he assembled some friends, and
lifted their bodies in the night, and buried them in the West Kirk. They
also got their heads down; but, day approaching, they could not make the
