I confess I voted for it, thinking my brave townsmen would have enjoyed it so much.
I know it was reported to my prejudice, that I expected a principal share of the plunder myself ; and that it was for that single purpose I went on the expedition.
Whoever raised that report, had no fur- ther grounds for it than that I voted w^ith the majority, several of them ministers and servants of the Lord. I did vote with them, but it was for an example to the other cities and towns of our country, who sti...ll stood out against emancipation.
LIFE OF AN EDINBURGH BAILLIE. 171 Montrose would, however, listen to none of us. His bowels yearned over the city to spare it, and he did spare it ; but to plague us, he made magistrates, minis- ters, and every principal man in the city, swear the covenant on their knees, at the point of the sword ; and also fined them in a sum by way of war charges, of which he did not retain one mark to himself.
We now turned our face toward the highlands, to take order with Huntly, and with a light and exulting heart did I take the way, assured of victory.
