Scotland is not in the practice altogether of going after clergymen. Many does not go that way at all.
Do you mean to swear, then, that the regular common mode is not to go before a clergyman?
I do not say that, as it may be.
Answer me the question plainly, or else you shall not so easily get back to this good old work of yours in Scotland as you think?
I say as it may be, the marriages in Scotland an’t always done in the churches.
I know that as well as you do, for the clergyman sometimes attends in private houses, or it is done before a justice depute; but is this the regular mode?
I say it ent no wrong mode—it is law.
Re-examined by Mr. Scarlett.
Well, is it the irregular mode?
No, not irregular, but as it may be unregular, but its right still.
