For several years after the Reformation from Popery, the Protestant

Clergy of Scotland had to encounter most formidable obstacles, in their endeavours to obtain even a very scanty allowance out of the opulent patrimony of the ancient Church. It is well known that in their original views, they aimed at a general appropriation of the whole, to the three great public purposes of " an honest provision for Ministers and their

" families,—such as that they might have neither occasion of solicitude,

" neither yet of insolency nd wantonness ;"—" the relief of the poor

" who neither can or may travel for their sustentation ;"—and the endowment of Schools and Universities. * This project, on its first

• " The first Book of Discipline : or the Policie and Discipline of the Church.

" Drawn up by Mr John Winram, Mr John Spottiswood, John AVillock, Mr John

" Douglasse, Mr John Row, and John Knox, and presented to the Nobilitie Anno

" 15G0, and afterwards subscribed by the Kirk and Lords." Chap. V.—" Concerning

" the provision for ihe Ministers, and for the Distribution of the Rents and Possessions

" justly appertaining to the Church." c

VIII

presentment to the Estates of the kingdom, had heen treated with dis- regard and derision, and was made to yield to the ravenous cupidity

of the courtiers and favourites of the day. The long train of evasi\

and vexatious proceedings which are known to have retarded any

effectual or permanent establishment for the reformed Clergy, it would

far exceed the bounds of this notice to state ; and it may be here enough

to refer to some of those legislative Acts which formed the basis of that

system of ecclesiastical benefices which obtained for nearly half a cen-

tury after the overthrow of the Roman Catholic Church. *

In the Convention of the Estates holden at Edinburgh in De-

cember 1561, there was adopted a sort of compromise with the actual

possessors of the ancient revenues of the Church, and " it was con-

" cludit, decernit and determit, be the Quenis grace and Lordis of

" Counsale, and utheris of the Nobilitie present, that gif the ferd part

" of the frutis of the hale benefices ecclesiasticall within this realme

" may be sufficient to sustene the Ministeris throw the hale realme,

" and support the Quenis Majestie to interteny and sett fordwart the

" commone effaris of the cuntre : Failyeing thairof, the thrid part of

" the saidis frutis or mair, quhill it be fund sufficient to the effect foir-

" said, to be takin up yeirlie in tyme cuming, quhill ane generale or-

" doure be takin thairin ; Samekle thairof to be employit to the Qiu>iii~

" Majestie for intertenying and setting fordwart of the commone effaris

* In further illustration of this subject, a few Extracts from the Records of the

Secret Council have been appended to this Notice. IX

" of the cuntre, and samekle thairof to the Ministeris and sustentatioun

" of the Ministerie as may ressonablie sustene the samyn, at the sycht

" and discretionn of the Quenis Majestie and counsale foirsaid, and

" the excrescence and superplus to be assignit to the auld posses-

" sonris." *

The machinery provided by this Act of Convention, as well as by an

explanatory Act of the Secret Council, in February thereafter, must have been but little calculated to ensure the due execution of their avowed objects; for the well-known Act of the Parliament holden in December

I067, under the regency of the Earl of Murray, proceeds on a recital, that " the Ministeris lies bene lang defraudit of thair stipendis, swa " that thay ar becumin in greit povertie and necessitie : And notwith-

" standing lies continewit in thair vocatioun without payment of thair " stipendis be ane greit space ; quhairthrow thay ar, and salbe con-

" stranit to leif thair vocatioun, without remeid be provydit." By this Act, the whole of the thirds of all benefices was to be paid to the

Ministers ; " ay and quhill the Kirk cum to the full possessioun of thair

" propir patrimonie, quhilk is the teindis :"— " Provyding alwayis that

" the Collectouris of the saidis Ministeris mak yeirlie compt in the

" Chakker of thair intromissioun : Swa that the Ministeris may be first " answerit of thair stipendis, appertening to everie ane of thame : And

" the rest and superplus to be applyit to our Soverane Lordis use."t

f lb. Vol. III. p. 24. b Of the detail of proceedings in the assignation of stipends to those employed in the service of the Reformed Church, prior to this Act of

Parliament, very little information remains on record ; and the lists of

Parochial Ministers and their respective Stipends printed in this vo-

lume, have been taken from the earliest official document of the kind

that is known to exist. It was probably compiled by Mr John Gray,

the person to whom a recompense is here assigned, for his labours as

" Keipar of Registre of Ministers thair stipendis, Extractar thairof,

and Clerk to the General Assembleis." * It appears to have been

begun in the year 1567 or 1568, but contains various interpolated

entries of later date relative to Churches, in which, at its commence-

ment, no Ministers or Readers had been established. Some of these

additional entries are as late as the year 1578, and as various blanks

still occur in the original, probably for the reason just alluded to,

some of these have been here supplied from the Book of Assignation,

or of the Piatt for the year 1576, being the earliest of those now pre-

served in the General Register House ;f and as the same record sup-

plies the names of many parishes and ministers altogether omitted

in the oldest lists, these have been printed in an appendix. It is well

known that many years had gone by, after the sera of the Reformation,

before the necessary complement of parochial clergy could be found or

provided for.

\ These additions are denoted by this mark (f). XI

In a work which has for its object to exhibit a state of the Reformed

Church of Scotland in its earlier infancy, it cannot be deemed much out of place to introduce an accurate facsimile of the hand-writing of its first and most distinguished champion, from an original letter never before published. * The letter is characteristic and curious, as expres- sive of his indignant and unrelenting contempt of the ministers of that church, in the subversion of which he had been the more immediate and active instrument ; but it is perhaps more interesting still, as indi- cative of those desponding impressions which the recent murder of

" the Good Regent" had produced on the almost indomitable spirit of the Reformer, and which, even more than his own feeble and declin- ing health, could extort from him the wish of bidding a good night to all worldly concerns.

Aug. 1, 1830.

* The original is preserved among1 the papers of the Family of Douglas of Loch-

leven, at Dalmahoy ; and its publication has been permitted by the Earl of Morton, the noble descendant of the person to whom it was addressed.
