To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cruel eyes watched his last moments; cruel voices urged that he buttoned his doublet twice or thrice after he was ready to throw it off, that he " shifted to lay down his head, " and that he protracted 50 terrors of tfje Uato time by " speaking at all the corners of the scaffold. " On the other side, his physician told how my Lord's pulse was " clear and strong" and how so a post-mortem exami- nation proved the partridge eaten at dinner a few hours before was perfectly digested. Whatever his na...tural feelings, Archibald Campbell remembered in that supreme hour what was due to his Kirk, his Clan, and his Ancient House. In after days men glorified him as the Protomartyr of the Covenant. Mackenzie's potent advocacy had the com- pliment of reproof ; he wittily turned it off with " It's impossible to plead for a traytor without speaking treason. " He did other like work. He strove to save "famous Guthrie's head" from the scaffold, and was unsuccessful, mainly, he assures us, from the obstinacy of the accused, who, scorning to conceal his opinions, would scarce avail himself of professional assistance.
