Gibb) ship-master and sailor in Borrowstoness, set out amongst the most
zealous part of the sufferers; but being but badly founded in principle,
about the year 1681, he associated three men and twenty-six women to
himself, and on a pretence of religious zeal to serve God, took to the
decent places towards the west of Scotland; where from their often
singing the mournful psalms, they were called the sweet singers. But
they had not long continued there, till they fell into fearful
delusions, disowning all but themselves; for, laying more stress upon
their own duties of fasting and devotion than upon the obedience,
satisfaction and righteousness of Christ, they soon came to deny part of
the scripture, and to reject the psalms of David in metre; which began
first to be discovered at Lochgoin in Fenwick parish. But returning
eastwards towards Darmead, faithful Mr. Cargil had a meeting with them,
and used all means with this mad-cap and his hair-brained followers to
convict or reclaim them; but to no purpose. And when some asked his mind
anent them, he said, he was afraid some of them would go great lengths,
but be happily reclaimed; (which came to pass). "But for Gibb, there are
many devils in him (said he), wo be to him; his name will stink while
the world standeth." They were all taken to Edinburgh tolbooth, and
about the first of May gave in a paper to the council, shewing how many
days they had fasted all at once, how they had burnt the psalms,--and
renounced the confession of faith, covenants, reforming acts of
assembly, the names of days, months, &c. These extravagancies pleased
York then in Edinburgh well, who dismissed them: after which, Gibb, the
three men and two women went west to the Frost moss betwixt Airth and
Stirling, where they burnt the holy bible (one night with a great light
around them) with the most fearful expressions. Gibb and some of them
were again apprehended and taken to the Canongate tolbooth, where they
took such fits of fasting for several days, that their voices changed
like to the howlings of dogs. Gibb became so possest of a roaring devil,
like another demoniack, that the sufferers could not get exercise made
in the room, which made two of them by turns lie upon him that time,
holding a napkin to his mouth. But George Jackson, martyr, coming there,
he asked, if that was his fashion? they said, it was. He said, he would
stay his roaring.--After threatening to no purpose, he caused them stop
in worship, till he beat him severely: after which, when they began, he
would run behind the door, and with the napkin his mouth, sit howling
like a dog. About 1684, he and one D. Jamie were banished to America,
where it was said, Jamie became an atheist, and Gibb came to be much
admired by the poor blind Indians for his familiar converse with the
devil and sacrificing to him (a thing then more common than now in these
parts). In consequence of such a wretched life, he died a dismal death
as far down as 1720.--_Wodrow, Walker's remarks_.
SIR ROBERT GRIERSON of Lag, was another prime hero for the promoting of
Satan's kingdom. I think that it was sometime after Bothwel that he was
made sheriff or sheriff depute of Dumfries. But to relate all the
sining, spoiling, oppression and murders committed by this worthy of
Satan, or champion of his kingdom, were beyond my intention. I must
leave it to his elegy, and the histories of that time, and only in a
cursory way observe, that besides 1200l. of fines exacted in Galloway
and Nithsdale shires, he was accessory to the murdering, under colour of
their iniquitous laws, Margaret McLauchlan aged sixty-three years, and
Margaret Wilton a young woman, whom they drowned at two stakes within
the sea-mark, at the water of Bladnock. For his cold blood murders, he
caused hang Gordon and Mr. Cubin on a growing tree near Irongray, and
left them hanging there 1686. The same year, he apprehended Mr. Bell of
Whiteside, D. Halliday of Mayfield, and three more, and, without giving
them leave to pray, shot them dead on the spot. Whiteside, being
acquainted with him, begged but one quarter of an hour to prepare for
death; all he got from him was, "What the devil, have ye not got time
enough to prepare since Bothwel?" and so he was shot. The same summer,
Annandale having apprehended G. Short and D. Halliday, and having bound
them, after quarters granted, the monster Lag came up, and, as they lay
on the ground under cloud of night, caused shoot them immediately,
leaving their bodies thus all blood and gore. Nay, such was their
audacious impiety, that he with the rest of his bon companions,
persecutors, would over their drunken bowls feign themselves devils, and
those whom, they supposed in hell, and then whip one another as a jest
on that place of torment. When he could serve his master this way no
longer, he wallowed in all manner of atheism, drunkenness, swearing and
adultery, for which he was excommunicated by the church after the
revolution, and yet by the then powers was made justice of the peace
sometime before 1714; a disgrace to any civilized nation, not to mention
a presbyterian profession. Thus he continued in his wicked obstinate
courses to an old age, although his name and estate are now extinct. But
death's pangs at last arresting him, and all other refuges failing him
under the views of his former wicked nefarious life, in imitation of his
master Charles, he feigned himself of the popish profeshon, because a
popish priest made him believe, for money, he could pardon all his sins,
and even when in purgatory for them, he could bring him to heaven. And
so we must conclude he died 1733, Dec. 23d, and went down to Tophet with
a lie in his right hand, and so remains in spite of all the priest could
mutter or mumble over him, as the author of his Elegy in his master's
name well expresses it:
For when I heard that he was dead,
A legion of my den did lead
Him to my place of residence,
And there he'll stay and not go hence.
This Lag will know and all the rest,
Who of my lodging are possest.
On earth they can no more serve me;
But still I'll have their companie, &c.
* * * * *
_To the foregoing List I shall subjoin a few more of these Satannical
Heroes of inferior note, who also persecuted the Followers of the Lamb
during the suffering period._
CORNELIUS ANDERSON, who was one of those ten sentenced to die at Air and
Irvine, 1666, to save his own life became executioner to the rest (when
the executioner poor Sutherland a native of the highlands would not do
it) for which divine vengeance did pursue him; for coming down from the
gibbet, the boys stoned him out of the town, and the noise of such an
infamous action running faster than his feet could carry him, made him
be hated of all honest men. This and horror of his own conscience
haunting him made him go over to Ireland, where he was little better:
almost no man would give him work or lodging. At last, he built a little
house upon some piece of common ground, near Dublin, which in a little
after accidently took fire, and so he and it were both burnt to
ashes.--_Crookshank's history_, _Walker's remarks_.
---- MURRAY who, lest Kersland should escape, went behind the bed with a
light and catched him standing with his Bible, while waiting on his sick
lady in 1669, in a few days after became distracted, and in his lucid
intervals (while alive) would cry and roar out under that agony, Oh,
that ever he was instrumental in that matter.--_Wodrow_, &c.
---- one of these cursed wretches, who carried Mr. King from Glasgow
1679. After he had, with his companions on horseback, drunk to the
confusion of the covenants and destruction of the people of God, rode
off with the rest; and meeting one of his acquaintance at the
Stable-green Port who asked where he was going, he said to carry King to
hell; and then galloping after the rest, whistling and singing on the
Lord's-day: But before he had gone many pace, behold, the judgment of
Divine Omnipotency, his horse foundered on somewhat in the path, and his
loaded carabine went off and shot him, and so he tumbled from his horse
dead.--_Wodrow_.
DAVID CUNNING, or Cumming, being willingly hired by that bloody crew
(who took Mr. King in the parish of Dalry near Kilwinning) to be their
guide to Glasgow: but the horse they provided for him going stark mad,
he was obliged to go on foot (after which the horse became as calm as
ever.) But after Cumming's return, it was observable, that every person
on meeting him started back, as if they had seen an apparition; for
which they could give no other reason. However he had no success in the
world, and died despicably.--_Missive in Manuscript_.
WILLIAM AUCHMUTIE, another of this black gang, riding with the rest of
his party to Couper 1679, and espying that young excellent gentleman,
young Aiton of Inchdarnie riding at some distance, brake off from the
rest full speed after him; and, though he was his relation, he shot two
balls through his body, without ever asking him one question, and so
left him. And though he came again and asked forgiveness of him when
dying which he readily granted with some advice, yet the justice and
judgment of God seemed not to be satisfied; for in two or three years
after, he died under the terrible agonies of an awakened conscience for
the foresaid fact, and so launched to eternity.--_Wodrow_.
ANDREW DALZIEL, a cocker or fowler, but a debauchee. While Mr. Cameron
was preaching in a house in a stormy day near Cumnock, cried out, "Sir,
we neither know you nor your God." To whom Mr. Cameron said, "You and
all who know not my God in mercy, shall know him in his judgments, which
shall be sudden, and surprising upon you, &c." Accordingly in a few
days being in perfect health, he vomited his very heart's blood in the
vessel wherein he had taken his breakfast plentifully, and so expired in
a most frightful manner.--_Walk. remarks_.
JOHN SPIER a wicked wretch inlisted himself under major Balfour; and,
amongst other pieces of his persecuting work, he apprehended Mr. Boyd
(then a student) in Glasgow. A little after being ordered to stand
centinel at the Stable-green Port, he must needs to be sure, get up upon
the battlement of the Port, upon which he fell over, and broke his neck
bone and so ended his wretched life.--_Wodrow_.
JOHN ANDERSON, indweller in Glasgow, in the year 1684, was amongst
others prevailed upon to take that hell-hatched test upon his knee. Not
long after he took a running issue in his left hand and knee. And though
we are not to be too peremptory in drawing conclusions of this kind,
yet we may relate what this poor man's apprehensions of the causes
of this disease were. The disease still increasing, he still cried
out, "This is the hand I lifted up, and this is the knee I bowed to
take the test." And in a few days after he died in great horror of
conscience.--_Wodrow_.
WILLIAM MUIRHEAD vintner there, on his taking said test, rising from his
knees said to the administrator, "Now you have forced me to take the
test on my knees, and I have not bowed my knee to God in my family these
seven years." And though a rude wicked man, yet his conscience got up,
and next Sabbath he was suddenly seized with bodily illness, and in that
condition died.--_Wodrow_.
WILLIAM SPALDIE in Glasgow, a third, who there took and subscribed the
test, in a little after 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, and as things then went, his brother durst make no inquiry
after him. Near thirty years after, sometime after the revolution, he
was found in a clift of a moss, standing as if he had been put down
wanting the head. His brother came upon the first notice, and not
minding the situation, grasped him in his arms: upon which he crumbled
all down to dust. Which remains they gathered up and buried, upon which
a stone was erected with a motto, which is to be seen to this day.--But
let us hear what became of these murderers. One of the men, it is said,
died in great horror of conscience, and would have discovered the fact,
had not his brother and sister accomplices thrust a napkin into his
mouth, and so he expired. Some time after, the other brother being
abroad, was got lying dead upon the way in drink as was supposed. Last
of all, the woman hanged herself, and was buried in two or three laird's
grounds clandestinely, but still raised by orders of the proprietors;
till being wearied, the buriers threw her carcase into an old coal-pit,
and so the tragical story ended.--_A--d R--n_.
The Earl of Argyle, and others, made an attempt 1685, and though their
quarrel was not altogether stated according to the antient plea of the
Scottish covenanters; yet they came to rescue the nations from popery,
slavery and bloody persecution; but being broke, and several of his
officers and men taken, the gallant col. R----d Rumbol of Rye-house fled
westward, and would it is thought have extricated himself of the enemy,
had not a number of cruel country men risen, and (after a gallant
resistance) taken him, west from Lismahagow, in the head of Dalsyrf or
Glassford parish. Nay, it is said, they were so cruel that, while
defending himself against three in number, having turned his horse with
his back to a stone gavel, one of them came with a corn fork and put it
behind his ear, and turned off his head-piece; to whom he said, "O cruel
country man! that used me thus, when my face was to mine enemy."
However, he was by them taken to Edinburgh, and from the bar to the
scaffold, drawn up on a gibbet, then let down a little, and his heart
taken out by the executioner while alive, and held out on the point of a
bayonet, and then thrown into a fire; his body quartered, and placed on
the public places of the nation.--But let us hear what became of these
ungrateful wretches, who thus used and apprehended him who had ventured
his life to deliver them from cruel bondage. Few of them died a natural
death.
Mark Ker, one of the principal actors, and who was said to wound him
after he was taken, and who it is said got his sword, was afterwards
killed on a summer evening at his own door, (or run through by the same
sword), by two young men who called themselves col. Rumbol's sons, and
who, it is said, went off without so much as a dog's moving his tongue
against them, &c.
George Mair, being abroad, when returning, wandered and fell over
Craignethen craigs, got some of his limbs broke, and stuck in a thicket,
and when found next day was speechless, and so died in that condition.
One ---- Wilson was killed by the fall of a loft. Another in Hamilton
(commonly called the long lad of the Nethertoun) got his leg broken,
which no physician could cure, and so corrupted that scarce any person
for the stink could come near him, &c.
---- Weir of Birkwood fell from his horse, and was killed; and his son
not many years ago, was killed by a fall down a stair in drink after a
dregy.
Gavin Hamilton who got his buff coat, (out of which Rumbol's blood could
by no means be washed) lived a good while after a wicked and vicious
life, yet his name and memorial is become extinct, and the place of his
habitation is razed out, and become a plain field.--_M. S._
* * * * *
But what needs more?--Examples of this kind are numerous. God has
provided us with his wonderful works, both in mercy and judgment, to be
_had in everlasting remembrance_,--that their ends may be answered, and
that they may serve for a memorial of instruction and admonition to
those _on whom the end of the world is come_.
_The Lord is by the judgments known
which he himself hath wrought:
The sinners hands do make the snares
wherewith themselves are caught._
_N. B._ To the foregoing prodigies of wickedness, I intended to have
added a number of examples of the same nature in England and elsewhere
under the auspices of popery; but the Scots Worthies having swelled so
far above expectation, to which this behoved to go as an Appendix as
proposed, I was not only obliged to desist from my intended design in
this, but even to contract or abridge my former transcript of these
historical hints and omit several practical observations thereon, which
might have been useful, or at least entertaining to the reader.--At the
same time the reader is to observe, That all the authors are not named
from whence they are collected, but only the most principal; nor are
they to expect every circumstance in any one of these quoted in every
example; for what is omitted by one author is observed by another; which
rendered the knitting of such distant authors and variety of materials
into such a small composition, a matter of some difficulty.
_FINIS._
FOOTNOTES
[266] For this see the conclusion of the general meeting at
Blackgannoch, March 7, 1688, and last conclusion of the general meeting
at Crawford John, April 21, 1697, and second conclusion of the general
meeting at Carntable, Oct. 29, 1701. but what of this was done, cannot
now be found.
[267] Such as Earls-hall, the laird of Meldrum, Livingston, bloody
Douglas, major White, &c. as for lieutenant Drummond, captain Windrum,
lieutenant Bruce and lieut. Turner, who went over with the rest of
Dundee officers to France, they died at Tourelliers. See {illegible}stan
and Perpignon hospitals, 1693 and 1694, miserable enough.
[268] Passing scripture instances, such as a Manasseh amongst the
thorns, a penitent thief upon the cross,--the late earl of Argyle who
was executed 1685, was a member of the bloody council many years, but
this he lamented at his death, particularly his casting vote on Mr.
Cargil; and for ought we can learn, in charity we must suppose he
obtained mercy: and the youngest bailie in Edinburgh, who gave the
covenants out of his hand to the hangman to be burnt, was afterwards
thought to be a good man, and ever lamented that action, and did much
service to Christ's prisoners after. Yet the Lord would not suffer him
to go unpunished in this life, for it is said he never had the use of
that hand after; and for all his stately buildings, they were burnt to
ashes in 1700.
[269] Buchanan mentions not his burial. Knox says, they gave him salt
enough and a lead cap, and let him in the sea tower to see what the
bishops would procure for him. Fox and Clark say, he lay {illegible}
months unburied, and then like a carrion was thrown on a dunghill.--Sir
David Lindsay of the Mount, made the following stanza on his death:
As for the Cardinal, I grant,
He was the man we well could want,
God will forgive it soon:
But of a truth, the sooth to say,
Altho' the Lown be well away,
The fact was foully done.
[270] Spotswood would have us believe, there was nothing remarkable in
her life or about her death more than what is incident to princes; but
we must rather believe and follow Knox in this.
[271] The queen was at this time pregnant with James VI. Some historians
have been inclined to think, from the intrigues this Rizio had with the
queen, that James VI. Char. I. and II. and Jam. VII. had more of the
nature, qualities, features and complexion of the Italian Fidler, than
of the ancient race of the Stuarts, kings of Scotland.
[272] Mr. John Douglas once a great presbyterian, was the first bishop
that thus entered by prelacy in Scotland; after which he became slothful
and negligent in his office. But one time, coming into the pulpit at St.
Andrew's he fell down in it and died.--_Naphtali._
[273] Mr. Clark in his lives represents Mr Cooper as an eminent saint.
No doubt he had his credentials from the bishops. But we must rather
follow Mr. Calderwood and the author of the Fullfilling of the
Scriptures.
[274] This king's reign has by historians been represented with
different features; some making him a just, religious and wise prince:
but whatever his abilities were and whatever advantage the church got in
his minority, yet it is sure his reign was almost one continued scene of
affliction and tribulation to Christ's faithful witnesses, and laid the
foundation of all the evils that followed.
[275] The bishop of Winchester who wrote Spotiswood's life now prefixed
to his history, represents him for moderation, patience and piety, as
one of the greatest saints that ever lived. He says, He was always
beloved of his master, and the only instrument for propagating
Episcopacy in Scotland, to which he gave a testimony in his dying words,
with much more fulsome stuff!
[276] The high fliers and English historians lay the blemishes of this
reign on the covenanters, and make Charles I. the martyr.--As to his
eternal state, it is not our part to determine; God has judged him: but
sure, he was the prime instrument of all the broils and bloody disasters
that took place in the end of his reign.
[277] Here observe, that Mr. William Violant formerly minister at Ferry
Parton in Fife, was indulged to Cambusnethen 1699 (whom Mr. Wodrow calls
a man of singular learning, moderation and temper,--perhaps because he
wrote a pretended answer to the history of the indulgence) upon a time
hearing some relate Mr. Cargil's faithfulness and diligence in preaching
at all hazards, &c. Mr. Violant said, what needs all this ado? we will
get heaven and they will get no more. This being again related to Mr.
Cargil, he answered, yes, we will get more, we will get God glorified on
earth, which is more than heaven. However Mr. Violant out lived the
revolution, and was sometime minister of the established church, being
one of these nominated by the general assembly 1690, to visit the south
of Tay. While on his death-bed one of his brethren came to visit him,
and asking how it was with him now? his answer was, "No hope, no hope."
Whether this terminated in his final destruction {illegible} otherways,
we know not: but sure we may say with the Psalmist, _Thou tookest
vengeance of their inventions_.
[278] The author of Claverhouse's memoirs, says, That they were shot by
James Carmichael laird of little Blackburn, and fifty whigs,--Vid. page
17.
[279] I could here relate several stories by tradition of his deceiving
the devil with his shadow at a race in Muscovy, his delivering a woman
from him by the burning of a candle,--his supplanting him in a hat full
of money, &c. But I forbear.
[280] We have no account of Charters' death, but it is more than
probable he died in that condition, as few or none of that tribe we read
of were ever again recovered.
[281] Perhaps, some may think this anent proof of shot a paradox, and be
ready to object here as formerly concerning bishop Sharp and Dalziel,
"How can the devil have or give a power to save life? &c." Without
entering upon the thing in its reality, I shall only observe; That it is
neither in his power or of his nature to be a saviour of men's lives; he
is called Apollyon the destroyer. 2. That even in this case, he is said
to give only inchantment against one kind of mettle, and this does not
save life; for the lead would not take Sharp and Claverhouse's life, yet
steel and silver could do it: and for Dalziel, though he died not on the
field, he did not escape the arrows of the Almighty.
[282] Concerning the death of the Duke of Drumlanerig, alias Queensbury,
we have the following relation:--That a young man perfectly well
acquainted with the Duke (probably one of those he had formerly
banished) being now a sailor and in foreign countries, while the ship
was upon the coast of Naples or Sicily, near one of the burning mounts,
one day they espied a coach and six all in black going toward the mount
with great velocity, when it came past them they were so near that they
could perceive the dimensions and features of one that sat in it. The
young man said to the rest, If I could believe my own eyes, or if ever I
saw one like another, I would say, that is the duke. In an instant, they
heard an audible voice echo from the mount, Open to the duke of
Drumlanerig; upon which the coach, now near the mount, evanished. The
young man took pen and paper, and marked down the month, day and hour of
the apparition; and upon his return, found it exactly answereth the day
and hour the Duke died. Perhaps some may take this representation of his
future state for a romance; but it is as it has been oftimes related by
old men of good credit and reputation.
