NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 280. 



All the evils accumulated upon "our bonny- 

 Jerusalem," as he fondly calls his country, have 

 followed the surrender of the " Ark of God to a 

 number of outlandish prelates." 



" In thy lang syne, bonnie covenanting, reforming days, 

 when able powerful ministers brake through hosts of 

 Philistines," Mr. Adamson adds, " there was no such 

 •truckling to lairds, and such stipend hunting, as charac- 

 terised the kirk in his day ; and it is to warn the time- 

 serving ministers of the period that the preacher blows 

 this blast against the Erastian spirit of the Church ; and 

 serves this summons upon the faithful to rally round, and 

 rescue the dear-bought ark of their forefathers out of the 

 hands of a sinful, complying, national church, and a 

 roughshod episcopacy."

Will and Testament (Vol. x., p. 377. ; Vol. xi., 

 p. 127.). — Your correspondent Chartham, I 

 think, makes good his case as to the distinction 

 supposed to exist between a will and a testament : 

 at the same time he will learn with regret that 

 Mr. William S. Hesleden, who first mooted the 

 point in the pages of " N. & Q.," can now no 

 longer defend his argument. Mr. Hesleden, 

 whose mind was richly stored with antiquarian 

 lore, especially as to the locality in which he lived, 

 died a few weeks ago at his residence in B^rton- 

 upon-Humber, co. Lincoln, aged upwards of 

 eighty years. W. E. Howlett.
