his over their Kinswoman yet did she maintain secret Correspondence with her Husband and several private mettings they had as hath been since discovered the Dr. and his Wife having promis'd to Visit their Relations at Biggar took Journey for Scotland and at the desire of Mr. Stone and his Wife took their Daughter along both to see Mr. Jaque and his Wife with whom she had formerly been acquainted at London and also to give her a diversion by Travelling being at that time some what indisposed thro' Melancholy under the apprehensions of her unfortunate Wedlock Mr. Stones Daughter being at Biggar continued her Maiden-Name according to the desire of her Father and Mother Dr. Jaque never having been taxt by any as to her Marriage till after she brought forth her Child It 's confest by Dr. Jaque that he was extreamly faulty and inconsiderat and that only his promise to Mr. Stone and his Wife at London led him into so Egregious an Act of Imprudence and solly as not to make known her Circumstances to Mr. Jaque and his Wife before her delivery He is so far from Extenuating his Crime that he is willing to aggravate it against himself and as a punishment hath ever since suffered the displeasure of Mr. Jaque and been an Exile both from his favour and presence It pleased the Lord about six weeks after Dr. Jaque came to Biggar to Visit his dear Wife with a Malignant Fever which was at that time very frequent thro' out the Country of which she died the Eleventh day to the great greif and Affliction of all concern'd in her but Especially of Dr. Jaque and her Kinswoman Mr. Stones Daughter There were no means left unus'd for her Recovery but all proving ineffectual Dr. Jaque by her death lost not only the best of Wives but a considerable yearly income which depended on her life And the Dr. can with boldness Challenge the whole World to say that from the first hour of his Marriage to the last period of his Wifes life there ever appear'd the least Symptom of discord or unkindness nay all beholders who were conversant with the Dr. and his Wife in the whole time of her Sickness must do Dr. Jaque the Justice to say that Mutual Endearments were continued between them without the least Diminution One particular evidence of which was that the afternoon before she died being apprehensive that her Change drew nigh she called for Mr. Jaque her Father in Law and his whole Family and after she had declared to him the Assurance she had of an Interest in Christ she desir'd that he would draw her last Will and Testament which was to make the Dr. her Executor and to settle all that was her's on him and her Child after his decease The Affliction that Dr. Jaque was under for so great a loss was so Apparent that envy it self cannot detract from the Juss Praise due to him on that account Mr. Stones Daughter was likewise under so much trouble for the loss of so near a Kinswoman and dear a Freind and layd it so much to heart that it hastned in all probability her Travaile before the time she reckoned having as she declared according to her own count six weeks longer to go so that she was brought to bed soon after the death of Dr. Jaques Wife it so happening that Dr. Jaque being called to Lanerick some time before on some Extraordinary occasion was there surpriz'd with the newes of Mr. Stones Daughter having brought forth a Child in Mr. Jaques house where at he was extreamly troubled both because of the Vexation and Disquietude it brought to Mr. Jaque and his Family Dr. Jaque immediatly on the newes repair'd to Biggar and satisfied Mr Jaque so far as he was able in the matter Mr. Stones Daughter produced also her Certificate to Mr. Jaque from the Minister who Married her but Mr. Jaque was so incens'd both against the Dr. and Mr. Stones Daughter for not timeously discovering her Marriage and being with Child that he would neither patiently heare nor yet give Credit to what could be said for his Satisfaction And therefore Mr. Jaque wrot immediatly to London to Mr. Stone the Gentlewomans Father and had from himself a full account that his Daughter was unhappily Married to his great Trouble and Greife to one Vanderkistee together with the other Circumstances as before related Mr. Jaque likewise wrot to Mr. Burroughs his Son in Law then living at London but now in Kelsoe that he should find out this Vanderkistee and get an account of the matter from him this Mr. Burroughs did according to direction and had from Vanderkistees own mouth the assurance that he was Lawfully Married to Mr. Stones Daughter that he had both Beded and Boarded with her and could have access to her when he pleased these things are evidently to be made appear by Mr. Stones and Mr. Burroughs their Letters in Answer to Mr. Jaques which the Dr. supposeth Mr. Jaque may still have by him and the same thing Mr. Burroughs doth now viva Voce declare to all that speak to him on that subject Mr. Stones Daughter being brought to bed in Mr. Jaques house stayed there tho' contrary to Mr. Jaques inclination if he could have helped it till she was so far recovered as to be in a condition to Travaile Her Father in the mean time having an account of her condition both from Mr. Jaque and from her self sent her a Bill of Ten pound starling payable at sight by Mr Watson Merchant in Edinbuegh to defray the necessary Charges that such a condition required The Gentlewoman was no soonet able to stir about but M. Jaque required her to be gone and hereupon she went with her Child to Edinburgh and having receiv'd her Money she return'd to England However being but weak at the time of her departure she took Mr. Jaques austere Carriage ill as did her Father also and Mother at London when they came to hear of it in that Mr. Jaque did not shew their Daughter more Tenderness in the time of her necessity so that Mr. Jaque hath born the reflections both of Mr. Stone and his Wife for his unkindness to their Daughter and also of his Enemies in Scotland for not being more severe to her and on the account of such like Reproaches is his anger more highly aggravated against Dr. Jaque This is the plain but true account of that Business which fell out in Mr. Jaques house in Biggar which Mr. Kirkwood hath endeavoured to aggravate to the Disrepute and Disgrace both of Mr. Jaque and the Dr. He calls it the famous Business that deserves so severe a touch and as he saith was accompanied with such dreadfull Circumstances but were it as he malitiously would represent and as he industriously endeavours to pawn it on the Faith of the World it were a very infamous Business Mr. Kirkwood hath it s confessed a very peculiar gift of expression but he is equally unhappy in
