he had formerly ſeen, but forbore taking any notice, or they of him, till the little People offering him Drink, one of them, whoſe Features ſeemed not unknown to him, plucked him by the Coat, and forbad him, whatever he did, to taſte any thing he ſaw before him; for if you do, added he, you will be as I am, and return no more to your Family. The poor Man was much affrighted, but reſolved to obey the Injunction: accordingly a large ſilver Cup filled with ſome fort of Liquor, being put into his Hand, he found an Opportunity to throw what it contained on the Ground. Soon after the Muſick ceaſing, all the Company diſappeared, leaving the Cup in his Hand; and he returned home, tho' much wearied and fatigued. He went the next day, and communicated to the Miniſter of the Pariſh all that had happened, and aſked his Advice how he ſhould diſpoſe of the Cup: to which the Parſon reply'd, he could not do better than to devote it to the Service of the Church; and this very Cup, they tell me, is that which is now uſed for the conſecrated Wine in Kirk-Merlugh.
