Going down the Thames and the Tay, they would find, at the last ford of one, the old Abbey of Westminster, and at the last ford of the other, the old Abbey of Scoon. The kings of England and Scotland were crowned there because these were the most important places a point of great historic interest.
To the same purpose, Act 11th, Parl. 2d, Sess. 3d, entitled act for purging the army. See also the coronation oath, of Scotland, as subscribed by Charles II, at Scoon, 1650.
But he forbore to have further or any argument with him; for he remembered what the Highlanders call "the advice of the bell of Scoon" "The thing that concerns you not meddle not with." The people who lived in this land of summer, and sunshine, and flowers had they no cares at all? He went out into the garden with these two girls; and they were like two young fawns in their careless play.
Of this sin, I cannot now speak; but, when God shall offer opportunity, I shall endeavour to uncase it you. In the meantime, the Lord give you grace to hate it as hell itself.
