Excerpt from Scotichronicon Comprising Bishop Keith's of Scottish Bishops, Vol. 2 But for making it appear that this is no false accusation, I shall once for all set down part of a Paragraph in Mr. Wodrow's Preface to his First Volume, pay. 10, where these are his words I have charged the Prelates with being the first movers of most part of the Persecutions of these times this is a matter of fact fully known in Scotland [but we must take his own bare word for it], and I could not have written impartially, had I not laid most part of the evils of this period at their door. It may be alledged, that this being spoken at random in a Preface, the Author is not so much bound to give vouchers for what he there says, as in the body of the Book. But then it should be considered, that when he comes to particulars in the Book itself, and there loads the Bishops with the blame of all what he calls bar barous and cruel in that period, he does not so much as o¿er one proof nor voucher for any matter of fact he advances, the certainly matters of fact of that kind ought to have been better vouched than any others.
