Livingstone says of Robert Bruce, of Edinburgh, the famous cotemporary of Andrew Melville, “No man in his time spoke with such evidence and power of the Spirit. No man had so many seals of conversion; yea, many of his hearers thought no man, since the apostles, spoke with such power. . . He was very short in prayer when others were present, but every sentence was like a strong bolt shot up to heaven. I heard him say that he wearied when others were long in prayer; but, being alone, he spent much time in wrestling and prayer.”
