cond, the soul of the late Lord Had do,
libra Kilmarnock and Balmerino, Mary
countess of Errol— peace to the souls of the
righteous, and let the wilful and obstinately
persevering wicked tremble. Further, it is
hereby intimated to the reverend commis-
sioner of his grace, who has so long scanda-
lously betrayed the honour of his divine
Lord and Master, who hath expressly de-
clared that his kingdom is not of this
world, to consider, that by the laws of man,
the receiver of stolen goods is considered

cepts the succession of property, unjustly,
or improperly acquired, is equal in guilt to
the original usuper, and liable to the same
dreadful responsibility here and hereafter
— also to pay attention to the tenth com-
mandment and the Mosaic law, or divine
legislation as to restitution, and to reflect
how he offers ghostly consolation or spi-
ritual comfort, without a compliance with
the conditions required, lest he become a
participator of the guilt- that the contribu-
ting to the building of St. Paul's chapel in
Aberdeen, or the giving of a clock and bell
