There are inserted in the column also two bulls in favour of the order, one by Pope Gregory, and the other, its confirmation by Pope Zachary I. 2 The monastery of Dunfermline is generally thought to have been ony a Priory till the reign of David I, and to have been raised by him to the rank of an Abbey, on the occasion of his bringing thirteen monks from Canterbury; which, on the supposition of the previous occupants being Culdees, was intended to reconcile them to the new order of things.

    NOTES AND STUDIES lIS NOTES ON THE SUCCESSION OF THE BISHOPS OF ST. ANDREWS FROM A.D. 1093 TO A.D. 1571 1. lI. GAMELINE, chancellor of the king and papal €haplain (Feb. 13, 12S4-T. no. 161), was postulated on the first Sunday in Lent, 1254 (Se. vi 43), which works oat as Feb. 14, 1254-5. M. (s. a. 1254) says he was elected by the prior and convent of St. Andrews, presumably referring to the Keledei being refused a voice in the election. Gameline is confirmed by Pope Alexander IV on July I, 1255; and the letter of confirmation (T. no. 176) explains why the word 'postu­ lated ' was used by Se. He suffered from defect of birth, being ex so/ut. gmihls el so/ula. The letter recites that on the death of Abel, the prior and chapter convened, and proceeded per fJiam eomjnJmissi, appointing nine of their number to make choice of a bishop either by election or postulation. The choice fell on Gameline, papal chaplain and chancellor of Alexander, king of Scotland Four persons, Robert de Prebenda, dean of Dunblane, Simon of Kynros~ clerk, and brothers Helyas and A1an, canons of St. Andrews, were sent by the prior and chapter to the Pope with the postulation. The Pope dispenses for defect of birth, and confirms. A letter of the same date (T. no. 176 atl jinnn) was addressed by the Pope to the bishop of Glasgow com­ manding him, in the usual terms, to associate with him two other bishops, chosen by the bishop elect, and to confer on Gameline the gift of consecration.

The stature of Knox looms large over the Scottish church and rightly so, for his contributions to its reforma­ tion were major and decisive. It is highly unlikely that the move­ ment to reform that church could have succeeded without Knox, or at least without a leader of his conspicuous ability.

  • George Wishart the Reformation Moves Forward
    George Wishart The Reformation moves forward George Wishart was born in Scotland in 1513. He was tall, with black hair and a long beard. He went to university in France (Louvain) and then became a priest.. By 1538 he was back in Scotland as a school teacher in Montrose, where he taught his students the New Testament in Greek. When the Bishop of Brechin heard that Wishart was teaching young men to read the Bible in its original language he was furious. Wishart fled to Bristol, where he got in trouble for his preaching, and he spent the next three years in Switzerland and Germany. In 1542 he taught at Cambridge University, where he was well known for his kindness and generosity towards others. He often gave his clothes and bed-sheets to the poor. In 1543, Wishart returned to Scotland where he preached in Montrose, Dundee and the West. In 1545, plague broke out in Dundee and as soon as Wishart heard of it he went back there, preaching to everyone and caring for the sick. He told them how there was a worse disease than the plague - sin - which could only be healed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Cardinal David Beaton, nephew of the Archbishop who had put Patrick Hamilton to death, sent a priest to kill Wishart with a dagger. However Wishart took the dagger off the priest before defending him from the angry crowd. Wishart survived another attack on his life by Beaton before finally being arrested near Edinburgh in 1546. By this time, a man called John Knox was following Wishart round as a bodyguard, carrying a large two-handed sword.
