CHAP. XIX. REBELLION IN SCOTLAND. 477
January 9. Came back to Stirling. We got there
the certain account of the Pretender's being come
over. This determined me to go with the Duke to
Perth. Lord, let thy presence go with us. I put my.
trust in thee, hide not thy face from me.
January 29. In hurry and confusion by the army's
marching away. We got an alarm at Ardoch, and
heard some firing. I recommended myself to God,
and was easy, being on my duty. When we came to
Tullibardine the business was over, and the house had
surrendered. I supped with the General, and lay all
night at a country house.
January 31. Marching onward, we got the agree-
able news that the Rebels had quitted Perth. About
six in the evening we marched again, and came to
Perth at three next morning. It was a cold, but
pleasant moonshine night.
February 3. Finding the Rebels flying before us,
I took leave of the army and returned home. Getting
great promises of friendship both from the Duke and
the General.
