Synopsis
Excerpt from Narrative of Mr. James Nimmo: Written for His Own Satisfaction to Keep in Some Remembrance the Lord's Way Dealing and Kindness Towards Him, 1654-1709 The narrative of my ancestor James Nimmo has perhaps an interest theological rather than historical. The period to which he belonged is one of much importance in Scottish history; he was the witness of more than one striking event, and his life was not without its romantic incidents. But his main object in writing, and one never lost sight of, was to record for his own and descendants' benefit his experiences as a Christian man, his sins and follies with their punishments, his mercies and deliverances, his depths of despair and heights of spiritual ecstasy. Such a narrative, it is almost unnecessary to say, is very characteristic of the author's creed and times. Many contemporaneous specimens could be found both in England and Scotland. To this class of literature, for example, belongs the celebrated Grace Abounding of John Bunyan. The Covenanters were prone to preserve in writing both their meditations and their vows. The public act from which they derive their name was accompanied by many similar private acts. Not only was the National Covenant subscribed, but individuals wrote out and signed their own undertakings with the Deity. Nimmo's wife, Elizabeth Brodie, and his daughter Mrs. William Hogg, have both followed his example, and have left records of a nature somewhat similar to that now published. Indeed, a Covenanter who had the slightest gift for composition would have probably considered it a sin had he failed gratefully to record God's dealings with his soul.
