THEY thought it was a Difgrace, of which every one partook, that he fhould match himfelf with a Tradefman's Daughter ; a Lowland Woman, and no Way deriv'd from the Tribe. THIS prov'd in the End to be a fatal Marriage, but as it is uncertain, and therefore would be unjufl for me to de- termine, in a Matter whereof I have not a perfect Knowledge, I can't conclude which of the two, the Hufband or the Wife, was the Occafion of the fad Cata- ft...rophe.
