Hinderlin

How say you, my lusty compeers; shall we permit a hinderlin to sit at board with us, and brand us with the name of cowards?

We downa bide the coercion of gude braid-claith about our hinderlans; […]

And although a bold front aye quells them, still they always are on the look-out to take you at disadvantage—in the louping of a dyke, for instance, wha will assure ye that they shall not kittle your hinderlins?

My certes! gin ever it comes to a fecht wi' the Levellers, the dragooners has only to turn their horses and chairge hinderlins on, and—weel, Davie Veitch will no be there!
