Dornadilla, the Fourth King.

HE left a Son behind him, called Dornadilla, the Successor of his Kingdom; in point of Equity, like his Father, but very unlike him in the other parts of his Life. For he spent much of his time in Hunting, as judging that Exercise to be proper enough in a time of Peace, and healthful; u 1.1 as also very beneficial to harden the Body for War. And besides, the Mind did suck in the purest plea∣sures therefrom, and was greatly strengthened thereby, against Covetousness, Luxury, and other Vices, which spring from Idle∣ness. Report says, That the u 1.2 Venatory Laws, which the An∣cient Scots observe to this day, were made by him. He deceased in the 28th Year of his Reign.
