"The said day, George Jinkin in Abercherder, being summonded for his
_ryming and cuculling_, being called, compeired; and being accused of
the foresaid fault, confessed he only spoke three words of _that ryme_.
Being sharpely rebuked, and instructed of the grosnes of that sin, was
ordained to satisfie in sackcloth, which he promised to do."--P. 245.
What was the "fault" here alluded to, and visited with a species of
discipline with which the presbytery, and those under its jurisdiction,
appear to have been very familiar?
