A briefe and plaine Narration of proceedings at an Assemsemblie in Glasco 8. Iun. 1610. anent the innovation of the Kirk-governement With a narration of some straunge Episcopall accidents lately happened in Scotland worthie cōsideration which the wise of heart will vnderstand Psalm 2.6 I have for my King opon Zion Proverb 21.30 There is no counsell against the Lord. Luke 19.37 Those mine enemies which would not that I should reigne over them bring hither and slay them before me Anno 1610. To the reverend Brethren in Scotlande NOtwithstāding I can not as I often desired see with my bodily eyes by what meanes degrees the state of Christ his Church there is become so straungelie defaced that so I might with more feeling pray and with more iudgmēt helpe as I could yet have I never ceased with Nehemiah carefully to hearkē after diligently to inquire concerning Ierusalem So that of late by sundrie intelligences I vnderstand that the Glorie of the Lord can Nehemiah possibly hold in his teares is departed from that part of Israell touching outward administration of Christ his Kingdome by his owne Office-bearers Oh that our sinnes have provoked God thus to moove our David against vs We hoped that our gratious King according to his promise made openly in Edingburgh that day before he went towardes England would rather have remooved those Reliques of Antichrist which ever have troubled the peace of Christ his church in England wherevnto the God of peace did carrie him in a wōderfull peace that he should prove a Prince of peace in building and beautifying the house of God O thou highest and most gracious Governour of kings who diddest turue our Kings heart in Anno Dom. 1592. torestore Discipline notwithstanding he had in anno 1584. set vp Papall Bishops give him now grace religiouslie to remember That he hath by subscription sworne to defende Discipline then in Scotlande all the dayes of his life and That hee consented to a constitution of the generall Assemblie in Holi-rud house And anno 1602. where by it was ordayned to prevent aspiring to the state of Papall Bishops in Englande that those who were called by his Maiestie vnto that Parleament and were formerlie intituled Lord Bishoppes should from thence-forward have no longer that title and be called Commissiners for the Kirk to vote in Parleament Longe have we in these partes expected from some of you in whom the holy fire is not yet extinguished a continuance of the faithfull report anent th'assemblie at Aberdene But supposing that eyther feare or want of meanes hath restreigned your zealous spirites I have out of the said intelligences compiled this Narration with all faithfulnes though perhaps there may be some small mistaking of the order of time For most of myne intelligences which I followe shewe that the Archbishop of Glasco preached first But one reported the Bishoppe of Orkney to be the firste preacher It is thought meete by moe then my selfe to publish it in hope That through the mercifull working of our good Lord and God it may occasion our wyse Christian King according to that heavenlie light wherewith God hath indued him to revive and redresse such shamefull proceedings 2. The Nobles Barons and Burroughes to consider that if such proceedings holde on manie besides the Englishe Nation will too readilie saye Are the Nobles Barons and Borroughes of Scotland as well as the Bishopps and some Ministers there corrupted by the treasure of Englande to yeelde vnto the ouerthrowinge of their Law by directions from England which proceed frō the instigations of the Archbishop of Cātorbuie 3. The periured hyrelings and apostate betrayers of Christ his kingdome to repent if they have so much grace or to be ashamed if they be not past all grace the wages of vnrighteousnes choking the spirit of God in them And 4. Such faithfull Ministers of Christ Iesus as fight the good fight of faith to iustifie Wisedome by learned and modest writings to resist the approches of Antichsist by patient suffering though vnto bloud and incessantlie to pray to God of trueth who hath said to his Christ Sit thou at my right hande vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole to take his owne cause into his owne handes to make our Noble King all seducementes notwithstandinge a worthie instrument of his glorie herein AMEN A briefe and plaine narration of proceedings at an Assemblie in Glasco 8. Iune 1610. anent the innovation of the Kirk-governement THE generall Assemblie at Linlithgowe 26. Iuli 1608. appointed 10. approving the present kirk governement and 10. affecting the Hierarchie of Lord Bishoppes to conferre about middesses to determine questions controverted among Ministers but referred the determination it selfe to the next generall Assembly then and there agreed vpon touching tyme and place and that with consent of Dumbar the Kings Commissioner according to the Statute These 20. met at Falklande The Bishops would have made a question whether the governement of the Kirk by Synodes and Presbiteries or by the Bishopps were more agreeable to the word of God The other side would not yeelde to make a questiō of that point because the present Kirk governement by Synodes and Presbiteries was without controversie established by Parleament and former Assemblies further confirmed by the Oathes of his Maiestie the Nobles Ministers And therefore without the compasse of their commission from the general Assemblies The Bishops being defeated of their purpose which was suspending the execution of Discipline if question had been made thereof as may appeare by the sequell the conference was so adiorned that it never helde againe neither the generall Assemblie though by such lawfull consent appointed for some weekes before the last day appointed it was forbidden by proclamation And why If it had convened in dewe order then everie Presbiterie should have freely chosen 2. or 3. of the same to be Commissioners for the generall Assemblie and in all likelihood would have given them such directions to bee observed vppon payne of Nullitie on their proceeding and of deposition and excommunication if they proceeded otherwise as all the Presbiteries did in one forme at the saide former assemblie viz. that they should not give their consent to anie alteration of the Kirk governement c. All this being against the Kings purpose it pleased his Maiestie to sende Dumbar a man after his owne heart with a multitude of Letters some to severall Presbyteries and some to particular persons such as could readilie saie Placer The Bishopps forsooth accompanied everie Bishop in his owne Diocesse the Kings letters with theirs to the Presbiterie as if the Kings Letters were not sufficient without theirs The parport of both letters was peremptorilie to charge the Presbiteries to sende to the Assemblie to be at Glasco 8. Iunij that verie man whom the King named and in no sorte to give them direction that they might be free to vote as the King they them selves would Before the Assemblie
