Genealogical account of the Barclays of Urie

and his works. A Scotch poet, writing of
the two famous Barclays, William and John,
the father and son, that were renowned
through Europe for their learning, concludes
with these verses upon him :
.(X> :
But, Io! a third appears, with serious air;
His Prince's darling and his country's care.
See his religion, which so late before
Was like a jumbled mass of dross and ore,
Refined by him, and burnish'd o'er with art;
Awakes the spirits and attracts the heart.
After his decease, many were so charitable
as to condole his widow for her loss, by several
letters extant, too tedious to put down, yet I
cannot well forbear giving two of them ; one
from the Countess of Errol, one of the most
religious, as well as wise and learned, ladies
of her time, the other from George Fox.
