C. There are a great many Things that I _can_ answer, which the Living are entirely ignorant of: there are many more Things, that notwithstanding the additional Knowledge I have acquired, since my Death, that I _cannot_ answer, and there are several Things and Questions that you may start, of which the last is one, that I _will_ not answer. O. Then I know not how to manage our Conversation, for whatever I shall enquire of you, I see you can easily shift me, so that I might profit more by conversing with myself. C. You may try. O. Well then, what sort of a Body is it that you appear in, and what sort of a Horse is it that you ride on, that appears so full of mettle? C. You may depend upon it, 'tis not the same Body that I was witness to your Marriage in, nor in which I died, for that is in the Grave rotting; but it is such a Body as answers me in a Moment, for I can fly as fast as my Soul can do without it, so that I can go to Dumfries and return again, before you ride twice the Length of your Horse; nay if I incline to go to London, or to Jerusalem, or to the Moon, if you please, I can perform all these Journeys equally soon, for it costs me nothing but a Thought or Wish; for this Body you see, is as fleet as your Thought, for in the same Moment of Time that you can carry your Thoughts to Rome, I can go there in Person. And for my Horse, he is, much like myself, for 'tis Andrew Johnstoun who was seven years my Tennant, and he died about 48 Hours before me. O. So it seems when Andrew Johnstoun inclines to ride, you must serve him for an Horse, as he now does you. C. You are mistaken. O. I thought all Distinction between Mistresses and Maids, Lairds & Tennants had been done away at Death. C. True 'tis so, yet still you don't take up the matter. O. Is then, Sir, this one of the Questions you _will not_ answer? C. You are still mistaken; for that Question I _can_ answer, and after this you may readily understand. O. Tell me then, Coul, have you never yet appeared before God, nor received any Sentence from him as a Judge. C. Never yet.
