Doc John | Eppie Morie: What does it all mean? (70* d) | RE: Eppie Morie: What does it all mean? | 20 Aug 08 |
I've always been puzzeled by the juxtaposition of 'minister' (used in the Scottish Presbyterian church, and elsewhere, for a clergyman ans 'priest' which usually signifies a Roman Catholic clergyman. This must be deliberate. I've dug out a Lowland Scots dictionary where 'be someone's priest' is defined as 'cause someone's death' Late 18th - early 19th century use it seems. |
