FOOTNOTES:
[6] A precipitous side of a mountain in Moffatdale.
[7] The caution and moderation of King William III., and his principles of unlimited toleration, deprived the Cameronians of the opportunity they ardently desired, to retaliate the injuries which they had received during the reign of prelacy, and purify the land, as they called it, from the pollution of blood. They esteemed the Revolution, therefore, only a half measure, which neither comprehended the rebuilding the Kirk in its full splendour, nor the revenge of the death of the Saints on their persecutors.
[8] A celebrated wizard, executed at Edinburgh for sorcery and other crimes.
[9] The reader is referred for particulars to Pitscottie's History of Scotland.
