ABERDEEN, _Jan. 4, 1638_.

CCLXXXII.--_To the_ LADY ROBERTLAND.

[This is probably the _Lady Robertland_ (her own name was _Fleming_) mentioned in Livingstone's "Characteristics" as "one deeply exercised in mind, who often got as rare outgates." She was a great help to the poor people of _Stewarton_, during the time of the awakening there. One of her sayings was, "With God, the most of mosts is lighter than nothing; and without God, the least of leasts is heavier than any burden."]
