But most of all, when Mr.M'Kail died, there was such a lamentation as was never known in Scotland before; not one dry cheek upon all the street, or in all the numberless windows in the mercate place.' {107a} The following passage from this speech speaks for itself and its author: 'Hereafter I will not talk with flesh and blood, nor think on the world's consolations.

Farewell to all my friends, whose company hath been refreshful to me in my pilgrimage.

I have done with the light of the sun and the moon; welcome eternal light, eternal life, everlasting love, everlasting praise, everlasting glory.

Praise to Him that sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever! Bless the Lord, O my soul, that hath pardoned all my iniquities in the blood of His Son, and healed all my diseases.

Bless Him, O all ye His angels that excel in strength, ye ministers of His that do His pleasure.
