  • Testimony of James Graham Dec 1684
    ‘The Last Testimony of James Graham, tailor in Crossmichael, in the Stewartry of Galloway, who suffered at the Gallowlee, betwixt Leith and Edinburgh, December 9, 1684. Men And Brethren,—I am come here this day to lay down my life for the cause of Christ, and I bless the Lord, that ever He gave me a life to lay down for such a noble cause; and now I wish this day that every hair of my head, and every drop of my blood were a life, I could willingly lay them down for Him. For it is all too little I can do for Him. Oh! it is a wonder that ever He should have chosen me or the like of me, to witness or die for Him in such a cause! For He hath no need of me, or any of the lost sons of Adam, but He hath testified in His Word, that He will make the poor things of the earth to confound the prudent. And now I bless the Lord that I die not as a murderer, nor a thief, nor as an evil doer. nor as a busybody in other men's matters. The heads whereupon I am indicted, are, because I refused to disown that paper which is most agreeable to the Word of God, and to our sworn Covenants and work of Reformation; and because I would not swear to that which I durst not for my soul do. Now, I giving a short account what I am indicted for, I shall likewise give an hint of what I adhere to.

    JOHN HOWIE OF LOCHGOIN HIS FOREBEARS AND HIS WORKS By D. HAY FLEMING & 6 FROM THE PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL REVIEW JANUARY 1909 N M iiiaiiiiDUUU2/7948* Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/johnhowieoflochgl909flem : THE PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL REVIEW Volume VII January 1909 Number i JOHN HOWIE OF LOCHGOIN : HIS FOREBEARS AND HIS WORKS. Throughout Scotland and beyond it, John Howie has been a power for good for more than a century. Strictly speaking, he ought to be described as John Howie in Loch- goin, not of Lochgoin, as he was merely the tenant, not the that moor-land owner ; but the Howie family have occupied farm for so many generations that they are constantly and naturally spoken of as the Howies of Lochgoin; and of the many Johns in that family the author of The Scots Worthies is preeminently known as John Howie of Loch- goin. There is no certainty as to the precise year, not even as to the precise century, in which the Howie's first went to Lochgoin; nor is there any certainty as to the district or country from which they came. The origin of the Howies, indeed, like that of many of the oldest landed Scottish fam- ilies, is lost in the haze of antiquity. In one passage, the author of The Scots Worthies thus refers to the origin of his family "Our house had been very ancient in suffering for relig- ion; (some have said that our first progenitors in this land 1 fled from the French persecution in the 9th century)." It will be noticed that he does not vouch for the truth of 'Memoirs, 1796, p.

  • English Perceptions of the Scots During the Regal Union by Sarah
    Talking Scot: English Perceptions of the Scots During the Regal Union By Sarah Katerina Waurechen A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2011 © Sarah Waurechen 2011 Abstract From 1603 until 1707, England and Scotland were joined by what scholars have described as the regal union. A dynastic accident that came into being when James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne as well, it forced the two kingdoms to share a single monarch without creating a unified legal system, religious hierarchy, political structure or British culture. This dissertation re-evaluates the resultant Anglo-Scottish relationship by examining what English people actually said about the Scots and Scotland during moments when this union was strained. Specifically, it explores discourses about the Scots that circulated immediately after the regal union, and those which appeared during the Bishops‟ Wars (1638-40), the Cromwellian Union (1651-59), the Popish Plot and Exclusion Crisis (1679-81), and the parliamentary union of 1707 that renegotiated the terms of engagement. By doing so, it challenges widespread assumptions that an uncomplicated xenophobia dominated English approaches to the Scots, and illuminates the existence of a more nuanced Anglo-Scottish dynamic that still informs British politics today. The Scots were too similar to be Other, and too different to be wholly Same – their “familiar alterity” creating difficulties for the English. At the start of the regal union, the notion of what constituted a Scot was malleable and utilitarian, which encouraged the English to reject their partnership in the creation of a new British kingdom.

To date, however, an in-depth analysis of the evolution of Scottish apocalyptic belief during the seventeenth century has never been undertaken. This thesis utilizes a wide variety of source material to demonstrate the existence of a cohesive, persistent, and largely conservative tradition of apocalyptic thought in Scotland that spanned the years 1588 to 1688. Chapter One examines several influential commentaries on the Book of Revelation published by notable Scots during the decades either side of the Union of Crowns. These works reveal many of the principal characteristics that formed the basis of the Scottish apocalyptic tradition.

Using some manuscript evidence and other sources, it looltf; at the social origin of the churches, and the composition of the groups. Some main theological distinctives are outlined, and the social and religious life of the groups illustrated, from contemporary sources. With this material as the evidence, an attempt is made to place the group in a wider settinge by comparison with other sectarian movements, and the conclusion drawn that the eighteenth century Independent movement in Scotland can be classified as a variety of the Revolutionary type of Sect, although other characteristics occur.
