talis ultra
Fas trepidat--_Hor. Carm._ lib. iii. Ode 29.

"Future events wise Providence
Hath hid in night from human sense,
To narrow bounds our search confined
And laughs to see proud mortals try
To fathom deep eternity,
With the short line and plummet of their mind."

PREFACE BY THE EDITOR.

The Rev. Hugh Binning entered upon his pastoral charge at a very eventful
period. He was ordained in the interval between the death of Charles I.
and the coronation of his son Charles II., which took place at Scone, on
the first of January, 1651. In the first year of the incumbency of
