Sayfa 97 - Small and mean though this place is, yet it shall be held in great and unusual honour, not only by Scotic kings and people, but also by the rulers of foreign and barbarous nations, and by their subjects ; the saints also even of other churches shall regard it with no common reverence.

Why hast thou disguised thyself so long, and prevented our giving thee the honour we owe to thee ?'
