“The Waters of Sihor, or the Lands Defectione; founded on yᵉ late Publick Resolutiones of the Comissione of the General Assembly, and of the Parliment at Perth, 1651, concerning the Imploying and Intrusting of the Malignant party in the Army and in the Judicatories, discovered and demonstrated,” 341 pages MS. in Advocate’s Library.—Wodrow MS., vol. xvii.—Rob. iii., 2.15. Such is the title of a work by James Guthrie, one of the leading Protestors, who made a great figure in the transactions of these times, and who was executed after the restoration of Charles II. We are not aware that this work has ever been printed, and think it right to give some specimens of the principles and practices of the Protestors, as exhibited in the writings of one of their most conspicuous leaders.
