An Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, Vol. 3 of 4


Book Description

Excerpt from An Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, Vol. 3 of 4: From the Introduction of Christianity to the Present Time Many persons in all parts of the country were averse to the Covenant, but few had the courage to Oppose it openly. The committee which sat at Edinburgh decided everything accord ing to their own discretion, and the royal authority was unable to protect those who remained faithful to the crown. The jurisdiction of the bishops was practically at an end the Perth articles could not safely be observed even by those who were willing to conform to them and the party, which a few weeks before had made it a chief accusation against the prelates that they sought to enforce measures destitute of the proper civil and ecclesiastical authority, now openly forbade obedience to the laws which had received the sanction of the Church and State.

The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 4


Book Description

Excerpt from The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Restoration to the Revolution Now, the system which the archbishop embraced was precisely what he found embodied in the articles of the church of Scotland; and generally, may we not say universally, embraced throughout the kingdom? In proof of this we have only to look into the writings of presbyterians during the covenanting period - of Binning - of Dickson - of Brown - of Wedderburn - of Hutcheson - of Durham - of Gray - and others likeminded with them and we find that amid a vast variety of talent, and of style, the same scheme of doctrine predominates in them all. Indeed it is a well established fact, although strangely overlooked by too many modern readers of church history, that in the period of the Stewart persecutions, there was no controversy in Scotland about theological opinions. Amid the contest for modes of government, there was a harmony on all matters of doctrine. In proof of this, we find that so early as 1616 the bishops and a certain number of the clergy were specially empowered to revise the Confession of Faith presented to the assembly, and after mature deliberation to take order that the same may be published. They forthwith proceed to their work, and the result was, a revised edition of the Confession of Faith and that of the most rigidly Calvim'stic complexion.
