'Tobit! exclaimed Gilffflan, with great heat; 'Tobit and his dog baith are altogether heathenish and apocryphal, and none but a prelatist or a papist would draw them into question. I doubt I hae been mista'en in you, friend. 'Very likely, answered the pedlar, with great composure; 'but ne'ertheless, I shall take leave to whistle again upon puir Bawty.
"Mind ye, He was unco gentle wi' the puir despised publicans, and vara tender to the wife that had been a sinner. It was the Pharisees He was hard on. And that's just what the minister is. Miss Cary, he's just the best blessing the Lord ever sent till Brocklebank!" "I hardly thought, Elspie," said I, a little mischievously, "to hear you speak so well of a Prelatist clergyman."
Unhappily throughout a large part of Scotland the clergy of the Established Church were, to use the phrase then common, rabbled.

"Yes, sir," he answered resolutely. "There was no book, sir." "But you do not deny it was the same superstitious and Popish ceremony and festival abolished by law."
"There," said one of the others, "the old Adam need not be so fierce in thee, brother Jephthah! No one wants to hurt the lad, young prelatist though he be, so he will make amends by burning their superstitious books on the fire, even as Jehu burnt the worshippers of Baal."
"As I live, 'tis the young prelatist who bowed himself down in the house of Rimmon! Come on, thou seed of darkness, and answer for thyself."
