While other's of them, pretending toreform and to deteft their paft wicked Lives, Jet ap for extraordinary Purity; and, as one Extreme w generally produttive of another, they, Suiting their Humours to the Genius of the Scottith Nation, from itinerant Pedlars, became itinerant Preachers, and, in Time, the Venerable Fathers of the Cameronian Race.

The Refufe and common Vagabonds of the three Nations; That w to fay, in other Words, The piiferiag Strowlers and Prognofticators of Germany, leaving their own Coun- try, became the Rapparees and ‘Vories of Ireland : That, by anealie, and more natural Tranfiion, than fome Perfons are aware of, the Tories of Ireland, croffing the Water, found themfelves me:amorphos'd, or rather converted, into the Whigs of Scotland: And, finally, that their opprobrious Names were re- ciprocally : A ae z ir eo eee ee £ CF PREFACE. ~ " ciprocally communicated by Party-Rage, to the Two .

But toreturn: The far greateft Part of thefe —Strowlers, having thus pafs'd into England, at firff, _ divided themfelves into Five Tribes or Orders, which are called the Old Ranks of Canters; viz. 1.
