Excerpt from A Collection of the Dying Testimonies of Some Holy and Pious Christians: Who Lived in Scotland Before and Since the Revolution

And is the very character of the professors of this day for'when any person now, either speaks, writes, or publishes a book to vindicate the doctrines and prin ciples sworn to, in the covenants, national and solemn league, but they meet with the very same treatment, that David did from his elder brother; and though these testimonies have lain for a long time, in the hands of but a few, it seems they are come in a time, when their enemies to fight with, the great champions Of their organized associates of this day, so they need' look for no other reception from the present Eliab's or elder brothers, in the defections of the day, but thus we know the pride and naughtiness of your hearts but the authors of these Testimonies, perhaps had none so kind to them, as Saul was to David; though he had no eye to the destroying of the enemies of the armies Of the living God, but just h1s own preservation as to ofi'er military vestments, and promise of great honours 'and preferments, although it. Should have proved Of-as'little use to them. As Saul's armour did to David but thou h the youth got no assistance, yet he went on einst is own and the churches enemies, and-so oshoul every honest hearted man, at this day for though the Philistines seem to be now encamped, and sendingforth their champions, to vindicate the corrupt principles, and immoral practices of presbyterians, yet they are as unable to defend themselves against these testimonies, as' that championwwas, when attacked by David, though a ruddy youth so the faithful and horn.
