and is to preach no more Which was to me something strange to hear her so positive as was not her ordinarie I said it is very much if it be so sudden she said it is to be even so And that day in the evening there came one and told that Thomas Cowper going in to the Kirk to preach was at the Kirk door struck with a distemper and was carried back to his house out of which he never came againe with life though he lived long after And I may say the man went about that work with great reluctancie and unwillingness against the light not being so wholly given up as many of them now are to hardnesse of heart spite and enmity For one day he and I walking in my garden he said I know its Reformation ye would be at will ye stay among us to help us forward therewith I answered there was no stay in Babylon that was become the hold of every foule spirit he said is there none else there in that ye call Babylon I answered its like there is but they should not stay there nor was it to be expected that that few were able to carry on a Reformation while among them then he besought that either I or my wife would give him warrand to seek a delay of that sentance seeing he had sought it so often and now they distrusted him she and I denyed to give him warrand to seek one houre and then he cryed out with teares falling from his eyes alace for evermore that ye will not grant me that request And so the next day did cast me out who was not in their Church And some years after being about seven yeares since this present Preacher at Montrose having excommunicate my wife the which after seven dayes was told her she said it was strange the man would shew so much malice and ignorance to curse her that for any thing she knew he never saw and was sure he never spoke with her nor knew never her principles nor practises except it were what he had gathered from lying slanders but said she if we follow that that is good what can harme us and it is our place to watch that we may be keept holy and harm less in our Generation not having an evil eye against that Generation who must be doing their work in this Age as in former Ages against the Saints I may also mention that about 5. or 6. yeares since two of my Salmond-Fishers agreed to bring in to me lymestone for so much the Boat full I then having building in hand the lyme-stone about two or three mile off along the Sea-shore and one evening after their passing out of the water there arose a mighty tempest of a North-wind that they could get no shore but gave up themselves for death their oars being mostly washen from them and their saill beat down The next day they told me that two of my men were lost which weighted me verie sore and the rather because one of them was a Fellow-sufferer with me for conscience sake and the other was an extraordinarie vitious person While I was in this grief for them my wife having been sick of a long time and I sitting by her the third day after their way-going she told me the two men were safe and alive and that the wicked person whom she named was preserved for the sake of the other and not only so but the friend of truth was set safe on the rock and the other was drowned in the water but was drawn out again and saved by the friend which was truely so for their came word some dayes after that after the midle of the night the boat came in among the mighty waves of broken water at Fife-ness and one swell carried the boat upon the top of an high rock where she set her bottom being fallen out the friend looked and found the boat fast and stopt upon the rock and stood the other began also to come out and the waves plucked him over the rock the friend looked for him being Moon-light and seeing him not only saw a bonnet floating on the water and having a tree in his hand he reached the tree to the bonnet on the water the other under the water striving with death gat hold of the staff and held fast as any do in such condition the friend not knowing what it was drew and he came up and was saved to the admiration of many in that countery to this day how they were saved and he called Laird of Kin-kell Hamiltoune furnished them with money after a day or two sent them home The prophane person after that he began to abstaine from some of his wicked wayes and be more serious so that his relations caused draw blood of him as a mad-man all which I concerned not my self into knowing that his physick behoved to come from another and after some time I found it expedient to advise him to begin to walk in the good old way the light in which he would find rest for his soul and as therein he was found faithful he would come to know refreshment from the presence of the Lord Which he listned to and grew more and more clear in his judgement and since hath born a measure of testimony for the truth both in words and conversation Other things I might mention which is not fit here that my dear Wife had revealed to her of the Lord. But now I shal touch of her carriage before her departur hence About eight moneths since she told me it was showen her that she was married to another she having gotten a new Name and a white-stone and all clade in white linnen the which when told me was a wound to my heart for I concluded she was to be taken from me and joyned more near to the Lamb yet I often cryed to the Lord that if it was his will that bitter cup might depart from me not knowing but that he might be entreated to spare her a little then she began to grow sickly and six or seven weeks ago her sickness encreased much that was known she was in a dropsie about twenty dayes since she was brought to bed of a child pretty easily considering her condtition then I began to have some hopes the Lord had granted my supplication About a week after her delivery she began to be worse in her body and about six or seven dayes before her removal one day sobbing very sore she told me that the enemie of her soul was assaulting her very strongly to doubt of Gods love to her and telling her that she had been too much in the incumbrances of the world and that she had been too little devouted for Heaven and that she was not yet washen clean in the Blood of the Lamb but that there stuck some of the earth to her by her too much looking at me and her children And she desired me to cry to the Lord for her that the Son of
