This City hath not been a barren Mother or Nurse in our Israell, in bringing forth and breeding up many eminent men and brave Spi∣rits, whereof there might be set down a large Ca∣talogue, not onely in bypast years, but even of Men eminent for abilities in their severall Professions in this same Age, whom I have known by face in my own time, and that both in Grammar, Musick, Philosophy, Medicin, Mathematicks, Poesie, the Civill and Cannon-Law, School-Divinity, the Art Military, who have in their Times been not only Ornaments to this City, but even to the whole Kingdom. But lest this might favour of ostentation, and upon severall other considerations I forbear, and shall leave it to any other to performe this task, if it be found needfull; and there∣for shall summ up the description of this City, with the Elogies written upon some of the An∣cient Citizens and Families thereof in these Epi∣grams made by DR. ARTHUR JOHNSTOUN as followes.
