fell under great remorse of conscience for
taking that self contradictory test. At length he sickened. Some people
having come to visit him, endeavoured to comfort him; but he utterly
refused every thing of this nature; and when desired to consider the
extensive greatness of the mercy of God in Christ, he said, "Speak not
of mercy to me. I have appealed to God and attested him to judge me, and
he will do it. I have sealed and signed my condemnation with mine own
hand, &c." And so he died in great distress.--_Wodrow_.

JOHN FRAM in Loudon parish, was once a most zealous professor and in
fellowship with John Richmond the martyr, yet to save his life, foully
apostatized not only from the cause of Christ, but also was one of these
who witnessed him to death. After which he became a bankrupt, and fled
to Ireland; where it was said that he (who would not hang for religion)
was there hanged for stealing of horses.

JOHN PATERSON, another of the same society, who witnessed him also to
death, went from one thing to another, till he took the clap or
French-pox, and died at Edinburgh miserable.

JOHN LOUDON and John Connel of the same society, and who acted the same
part, were reduced to beggary afterwards.--_Cloud_ &c.

PATRICK INGLES, son to Captain Ingles, with a party in May 1685,
surprized ten or twelve men at a night meeting for prayer at Little
Blackwood, (Kilmarnock parish) took ten prisoners, and shot James White,
cut off his head with an ax, and carried it to New-milns, where one of
them played with it for a foot-ball. Ingles procured a warrant to shoot
the rest, had they not in the mean time been relieved by the country.
Whether it was Patrick himself or one of the dragoons I cannot say, but
it is said, he who used the martyrs head thus, being got up unto the top
of the garrison house there, a little after when easing him over the
battlement, fell backward over the wall, and broke his neck, which ended
a wicked life by a miserable ignominious death.--_Crookshanks,
Appendix, A--d, R--n_.

WILLIAM SMITH in Moor-mailing, (Shots parish) with his brother when
returning home from Pentland, William stepped aside to a neighbour's
house when near home upon a certain errand; but not coming out soon, his
brother went to see for him. But when going past the window, he had a
glance of two men and a woman standing round his brother, and a spit run
through his throat: this made him flee for his life. William was not to
be found,
