Synopsis
Excerpt from Diary of George Ridpath: Minister of Stitchel, 1755-1761
Ridpath was not what we would now call an eminently Spiritually-minded man; indeed, in the wide range of his reading, theology is conspicuously absent, the only reference to it being an observation that some magazine he had been reading contained nothing except some silly articles on theology.' But, on the other hand, he was an excellent parish minister, and no one can have'visited his people with 'more exemplary regularity and assiduity. And he not only rendered himself responsible for their souls, but also to some extent for their bodies. His tastes were largely scientific, and he had more than a mere smattering of medical lore; he did not hesitate to prescribe for his parishioners in illness, if he thought he could do them any good, and he knew the virtues of the many simples that could be gathered in the fields.
