Note 5 — I.

I refer the reader to the words quoted on the title-page. They form the dying testimony and experience of one of the holiest men of any age. We have seen in the possession of a revered friend, the Bible which belonged to the great Marquis of Argyle, and which formed his constant companion during the period of his imprisonment. Almost every verse of the 42d Psalm is specially marked. Some of the verses, such as the third, are noted with a double stroke. We may well imagine him, after closing such "an afflicted man's companion," thus writing to his Marchioness—"They may shut me in prison where they please, but they cannot shut out God from me."
