To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ancient Persians and Jews believed that every person had a spirit or guardian angel attending him, and although generally invisible, it had the power of be- coming visible, and separating itself for a time from the person it attended, and of appearing to other persons in the guise of the individual from whom it emanated. An excellent example of this superstitious belief is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. When Peter, who was believed to be in prison, knocked at the " door of the gate "... of the house where the disciples were met, the young woman who went to open the door, on recognising Peter's voice, was overjoyed, and, instead of opening, ran into the house, and told the disciples Peter was at the door. Then they said " It is his angel " (wraith). Thus the whole company expressed their belief in attending angels. The belief in wraiths was prevalent throughout all Scotland. It is beautifully introduced in the song of " Auld Robin Gray." When the young wife narrates her meeting with her old sweetheart, she says, " I thought it was his wraith, I could not think it he," and the be- lief survives in some parts of the country to the present day.
