in the question about the freedom which must be the foundation of
all moral laws and the consequent responsibility, it does not matter
whether the principles which necessarily determine causality by a
physical law reside within the subject or without him, or in the
former case whether these principles are instinctive or are
conceived by reason, if, as is
admitted
by these men themselves, these
determining ideas have the ground of their existence in time and in

Then up gat fechtin Jamie Fleck,
An' he swoor by his conscience,
That he could saw hemp-seed a peck;
For it was a' but nonsense:
The auld guidman raught down the pock,
An' out a handfu' gied him;
Syne bad him slip frae' mang the folk,
Sometime
when nae ane see'd him,
An' try't that night.

THE BELL-MAN
From noise of scare-fires rest ye free
From murders, Benedicite;
From all mischances that may fright
Your pleasing
slumbers
in the night
Mercy secure ye all, and keep
The goblin from ye, while ye sleep.
