26 THE C ROM ART IE CORRESPONDENCE.
16. Murdoch Mackenzie, Bishop of Orkney, to Anne Sinclair,
Lady Taebat, circa 1677.
Eycht Honorable and my (dear) Madame, — I had the honore of your
Laclieship's letter, in absence of your (wageing) Lordship, wharvith I was
much refreshed, haveing found therin much kyndness, pertinencie and dis-
cretione, werie lyck the compliet subscriber : and I can not bot much applaud
the happyness of that honorable husband whom God has blest vith such ane
perfect consort, to be the mother of his hopfull familie, and supply his absence,
so as I find nothing vanting but his Lordships personall charecter. I pray
God be his chief councellor, to direct his courses soundly and saifly in this
nick of time and crisis of publict affaires, wharein (to speak efter the dictione
of this countray) vind and tide seemes to goe contrare ; and then ther is a
great sea which callis for ane skilfull, steddie steirsman. He is nowe, I believe,
sailing (as we say) in the streitis. The Lord retourne him to youe, to his
worthy famihe, and poore friendis, in saiftie, loadened vith precious com-
modities : and if it should happen vtherwayes (which God forbid), I am
perswaded he can not lay the blame in the leist vppon his worthy Ladye's
wisdome, prudence, and circumspect warrines in thir times : which may
conuince him (thogh ther var not too manie argumentis besides), that the good
Gode heath granted him ane Lady fitted to be his helper. Your Ladyship was
pleised to recommend the conditione of Mr. Colline Dalgleish to my care ;
and althogh (Madame) ther war noe vther consideratione to press that business,
your Ladyships favour to him shall obtain for him all my respectis, whenever
anie fitt occation shall be offered for his accommodatione ; which for the
present does not occur in my diocess. Madame, if your Ladyship's best
conueniencie can allow me ane line anent my good Lord your husbandis
