therefor he wrought upon ther humours, and by them first wormd himselfe into thes places. And although it be weall known that thes Clan Cameron, for the generalitye, (whatever may be saide of particular persones of that name, ther civilitye or godlinesse,) are very farr from relishing the covenant, and were so then, yet some of the most profligate murderers amongst them wer by Argylle his meanes tackne under the protectione of the Covenanters. And it is very weall knowne that in the yeares following thes Clan Cameron for the most part joyned themselves openly to Argylle, and persecuted Huntlye ther maister, who, anno 1647, fledd to Lochaber for shelter."-(Vide Gordon's Scots Affairs, vol. iii. p. 163.)
