MITCHELL, D.D., LL.D. And JAMES CHRISTIE, D.D. EDINBURGH Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable for the Scottish History Society 1896 INTRODUCTION The state of my health during the last six months will, I trust, be accepted as a valid excuse for my not attempting to write so detailed an introduction to this volume of the Records of the Commission of the General Assembly as I wrote to the former one, and that this excuse will be accepted all the more readily when I state, that it has been mainly by my efforts to fulfil the work I had undertaken for this and a kindred society, that my health has given way. By the departure of the Scottish army from England in 1646-7, the unique influence of Scotland on England in matters of both civil and ecclesiastical policy was sadly weakened; and by the ill-starred invasion of England by the Duke of Hamilton and the adherents of the ‘Unlawful Engage- ment,’ nominally to ensure the restoration of Charles to his regal power on Covenanting terms, but really to secure his deliverance from his Sectarian jailors on terms less onerous, that influence may be said to have been finally extinguished, and the calamity the invaders sought to avert rendered all but inevitable.

    Scs s-r<?s/ &.c £be Scottish tlert Society SATIRICAL POEMS OF THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION SATIRICAL POEMS OF THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION EDITED BY JAMES CRANSTOUN, LL.D. VOL. II. ('library''. ) Printcti fat tljt Sacietg Iig WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCXCIII V PREFATORY NOTE TO VOL. II. The present volume is for the most part occupied with Notes and Glossary. Two poems by Thomas Churchyard — “ The Siege of Edenbrough Castell ” and “ Mvrtons Tragedie ”—have been included, as possessing considerable interest of themselves, and as illustrating two important poems in the collection. A complete Index of Proper Names has also been given. By some people, I am aware, the Satirical Poems of the Time of the Reformation that have come down to us through black- letter broadsheets are considered as of little consequence, and at best only “sorry satire.” But researches in the collections of historical manuscripts preserved in the State-Paper Office and the British Museum have shown that, however deficient these ballads may be in the element of poetry, they are eminently trustworthy, and thus have an unmistakable value, as contemporary records. A good deal of pains has accordingly been taken, by reference to accredited authorities, to explain unfamiliar allusions and clear up obscure points in the poems. It is therefore hoped that not many difficulties remain to perplex the reader. A few, however, have defied solution. To these, as they occurred, I have called attention in the notes, with a view to their being taken up by others who, with greater knowledge of the subject or ampler facilities for research than I possess, may be able to elucidate them.

  • JD Article for New College Anniversary Bulletin April 2006
    Article for New College Anniversary Bulletin April 2006 Teaching theology in Edinburgh: beginnings The teaching of theology and divinity has a very long history in Edinburgh, of which the New College phase only forms the latest chapter. In the sense of formal theological instruction, it was the Dominicans who began the tradition when their Edinburgh friary was founded in 1230, the first to be opened in Scotland. The Blackfriars buildings were in the Cowgate and by the sixteenth century they included a particularly fine hall, spacious enough to be the meeting place for the Councils of the Scottish Church called in 1549, 1552 and 1559 that produced reforming statutes and Archbishop Hamilton's Catechism. The hall was probably used on a daily basis to accommodate part of the comprehensive educational training undertaken by the friars, but they generously made way each year for the Scottish Exchequer and its accounting sessions. As the most commodious roofed space in Edinburgh, apart from the Castle and Holyrood, the Blackfriars hall was in considerable demand and it was at the heart of the famous 'Cleanse the Causeway' fight in 1520. During the 1550s there were attempts to make more provision for higher education in the capital. One initiative came from the Queen Regent, Mary of Guise, mother of Mary, Queen of Scots, who founded two public lectureships, one in Greek and another in civil and canon law, both regarded at the time as ecclesiastical subjects. The second initiative flowed from the noted humanist Robert Reid, bishop of Orkney, who left provision in his will in 1558 for a college with a distinctly non-clerical emphasis to be erected in Edinburgh to teach the 'new learning'.

Published for The Historical Association by George Philip & Son, Ltd. 32, Fleet Street, London, E.C.4 1951 i COPYRIGHT By the Historical Association 1951 John Knox DURING his own lifetime John Knox was engaged in violent dis- putes, and throughout the succeeding ages his character has been the subject of acrimonious controversy. To some of his con- temporaries he appeared as the apostle of eternal truth divinely inspired, to others as an architect of evil. Later ages saw him variously as a stirrer-up of strife, the founder of the protestant kirk, the perverter of reform into devious ways, the father of intolerance, the hero of the everlasting verity, the destroyer of the old and the beautiful. For centuries he was, despite all criticism, one of the heroes of Scotland. Latterly there has been an attempt to show him as the man who robbed Scotland of her heritage of art and enjoyment and plunged her into the ugly gloom of a perpetual Sabbath wherein the Calvinistic elect found their main pleasure in denouncing the shortcomings of blinded ritualists. And now the wheel comes round full circle.

The following pages have been published chiefly for those who take an interest in the locality of the ancient and now flourishing town of Arbroath, and also with the view of removing the obscurity which has hitherto involved the history of its once magnificent monasteiy. Among other sources of information the Chartulary of the Abbey is entitled to stand first in rank. The most interesting portions of these monastic writings have been digested and arranged in this volume. An endeavour has thus been made to bring out the points in which they, along with other authentic documents, tend to illustrate the history of the district. In alluding to the history of past times, our ancestors have been allowed as far as possible to appear in their own dress, and speak in their own words. This will account for the number of quotations in the antique style, which may probably render the perusal of some portions of the book a little difficult to readers otherwise well educated.

  • Sir Archibald Stevenson, His Ancestry, and the Riot in the College of Physicians at Edinburgh
    SIR ARCHIBALD STEVENSON, HIS ANCESTRY, AND THE RIOT IN THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AT EDINBURGH by W. B. HOWIE THi Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh was founded in 1681. At the time of its foundation there were twenty-one founder fellows. Among the original fellows were Robert Sibbald, already a distinguished physician and man of science; Thomas Burnet of Crimond, Physician to the King in Scotland and author of the popular Thesaurus Medicinae Practicae;11 Andrew Balfour who, with Sibbald, had founded the Physic Garden in Holyrood Abbey and was himself a botanist of distinction;2 James Halket, four years later to become one of the first professors of medicine in the University of Edinburgh;3 and Archibald Pitcairn, not only a future professor of medicine in Edinburgh, but in Leyden also. It might have been expected that the first President of the College would have been chosen from among this distinguished group, but when the fellows of the College met for the first time the physician elected to fill the office of President was none of these, but Dr. Archibald Stevenson. The choice of Dr. Stevenson as President would appear to have been quite a determined one, and no empty honour, for he was re-elected President in subsequent years, and remained in office until the election of 4 December 1684 when he was succeeded by Sir Robert Sibbald.4 To succeeding generations Stevenson is rather a shadowy figure. Unlike Sibbald, Pitcairn, or Burnet, he left no published works behind him upon which his theoretical beliefs can be judged, and nothing is known of his practical skills.

  • For Christ's Crown and Covenant an Introduction to the Scottish
    For Christ’s Crown And Covenant An Introduction to the Scottish Covenanters For Senior School Students Sovereign Grace Union 43 Warwick Road Rayleigh Essex SS6 8PQ Preface In the Preface to his monumental work of 1908 on the Covenanters between the Reformation of 1560 and the Bloodless Revolution of 1689, James King Hewison seeks to present “an absolutely impartial account of the Covenanters” in view of their gross misrepresentation by such writers as Sir Walter Scott. Brought up “among a peasantry whose ancestors fought and fell for the Covenant,” he felt under deep obligation to prove from “their religious and secular bonds and leagues” that they were neither “a rigid sect in the Christian Church” nor “a restless, rebellious political party.” During his researches, King Hewison discovered that the traditions passed from generation to generation beside many a cottage fireside were substantially corroborated by the records he consulted in various libraries. Today, students of history are taught little or nothing about these God-fearing men, women and children who “loved not their lives to the death” for the sake of ‘Christ’s crown and covenant.’ In this brief study, I hope to remind our generation who these faithful servants of Christ were, what they stood and suffered for, and why we need to restore their principles and life-style to our nation. My prayerful desire in so doing is that their God and ours would mercifully fulfil the desire of the psalmist: ‘Turn us again, O Lord our God, And upon us vouchsafe To make Thy countenance to shine, And so we shall be safe.’ (Psalm 80.3.
