Patersoune,Bartie

Notes: His patients had to repeat words. He prescribed drinks and salves. Patient had to go on his knees three nights in a row, three times a night to ask Jesus for his health. He used Loch water from the Dow-Loche beside Drumlanrig. Lots of charms in the name of the 'father, son and holy ghost'. Pre-Reformation type religious ritual. The giving of remedies was done in the context of drinking ale at the pub, where a local woman was slandered for being a witch and causing an illness that Bartie healed. He told the man to ask for his health from the woman. JC26/5/2 has drawings of tables with Latin words laid out that I think Bartie used. This document has lots of drawings and weird symbols, he could have been accused of learned magical practices. He used letters and writings for healing. A remedy for all women involved grinding almonds mixing them with egg whites and putting on their face. For bleeding at the ???? -write letters on a knife and kill a beast. Lots of specific cures with specific letters and rituals

This Paterson used water from Drumlanrig so likley the same person. Sharpe probably misread the original Bartie is definitely a man. Also found in the High Court Record Index, no. 1 for 18/12/1607.
