ST. ANDREWS, _March 27, 1640_.
CCXCVIII.--_To his Reverend and dear Brother, MR. DAVID DICKSON, on the Death of his Son._
["When told that Mr. Dickson had some children removed by death, Mr. S. Rutherford presently called for a pen, and wrote a profitable letter to Mr. Dickson; 'for' (said he) 'when one arm is broken off and bleeds, it makes the other bleed with it'" (Wodrow's "Analecta").]
