He flourished about the year 1520. Andrew Melvill Professour of Divinitie in the New Colledge a man well seen in the Hebrew Language and the Rabbinical writings He was the first who kindled the great Combustions in this Church by introducing the Discipline of Geneva amongst us as may be more fully seen in the foregoing History John Baron Doctour and Professour of Divinitie in the New Colledge was a person of great Worth and Learning and of great Candour He died in the time of our late Combustions Sir John Wedderburn was a Professour of Philosophy in this Universitie but that was too narrow a place for so great a Person who became since so celebrated for his great Learning and skill in Physick and though his infirmities and great age forced him to retire from publick practice and business yet his fame attracts all the Nation to him and his noble Hospitality and kindness to all men that are learned and vertuous makes his Conversation no less loved then his Advice is desired Samuel Rutherfurd Professour of Divinitie in the New Colledge was very famous in those Times for quickness and subtilty in disputing and writing He was judged to be very devout he wrote Exercitationes de Gratia and Disputationes de Providentia he was a wonderfull Assertour of the Supralapsarian Hypothesis he wrote also many Books in English some Controversial as the Divine right of Presbytery others pieces of Devotion and Sermons he wrote also a Seditious Book condemned by Law about the Power of the King and the Priviledges of the People called Lex Rex He died 1661. Alexander Colvill Doctour and Professour of Divinitie in the New Colledge he was before Professour at Sedan He was learned in the Hebrew and was a great Textuary and well seen in Divinitie He died about the year 1664. James Wood Professour of Divinitie and Provost of Saint Salvator's was a person both judicious and wise as also of considerable Learning he wrote a Book against Independency he died about the year 1664. John Johnston Professour of Divinitie in the New Colledge wrote a Paraphrase of the Psalms and other most excellent Poems and for his skill in the Latin tongue and Poesie was second to none in his time he flourished about the year 1610. David Calderwood a man of great reading and study but very unhappy in his way of expressing himself both which appeared in his Altare Damascenum He was at first very factious and banished the Kingdom by King James yet was afterwards much neglected by that violent Party who judged him too moderate though from his Book none would imagine him guilty of it James Durham a Gentleman of a good Family and learned was bred in this famous University he wrote a judicious Book of Scandal with good Learning in it there are also Expositions of his upon the Revelation and on the Song of Solomon and the Ten Commandments all published since his death George Gillespie was also bred here who was a very pregnant young man had great freedome of expression and much boldness which raised him to make a very considerable figure among the Covenanters He had some good Learning but was very factious he wrote against the Ceremonies and many pieces against the Erastians He died An. 1649. James Gregory Professour of the Mathematicks in this University was a person of most extraordinary Learning in those Sciences He had a strange faculty of resolving the hardest Problems and seems to have found a Non plus ultrà in Geometry He was Fellow of the Royal Society and much admired both in England France and Italy where he travelled but lost both his eyes and soon after died 1674. In this Universitie many of the chief Nobility are bred among whom none has done greater honour to Saint Leonard's Colledge where he was bred then his Grace the Duke of Lauderdail to whom as Learning seemed entailed his Family for four Descents having been most famed for Learning of any of their Quality so he received those impressions in this Universitie that being since much improved have rendered him so eminent for Learning of which onely my Subject leading me to speak I shall say nothing of his other extraordinary Qualities Archbald Lord Napier of Merchiston was a profound Scholar and of great worth His Logarithms have rendered him famous throughout the whole world he wrote also an Exposition on the Revelation He died 162 Sir Robert Murray a great Promoter and Fellow of the Royal Society was a person of wonderfull abilities vast apprehensions great depth of Judgment and universally knowing in every thing but more particularly in the Mathematicks He was a great Ornament to the Age he lived in and an honour to his Country He died Anno 1674.

Regalia the Lion Herauld with some Heraulds and Pursevants riding before the Honours last of all when the King is present in person rides the Lord Chancellour bearing the Great Seal but this is not done before a Commissioner After these rides the King or His Commissioner with the High Constable who is by Inheritance the Earl of Arroll on his right hand with a white Batton on his hand and the great Marischal who is also by Inheritance the Earl Marischal on his left hand with a silver Batton in his hand If the King be present in person the Marquesses and Dukes ride after the Earls but if His Commissioner onely be there they follow him at some distance At the outward Gate of the Parliament-house they all alight off their horses and the Earl Marischal receives and conducts the King to the inner Gate where he is received by the High Constable and led into the House where the Parliament is held The Throne is raised six steps high with a State over it and there the King or the Commissioner in His absence sits And in the first step under him on a Bench sits the Lord Chancellour with other Officers of State on both hands of him In the next step under these sit the Lords of Session or Judges On the right hand of the Throne is the Bishops Bench that rises up three steps and rows of Benches On the highest the two Archbishops sit and in the lower steps sit the Bishops according to the dignity of their Sees On the left hand of the Throne there is another great Bench of three steps and rows of Benches on which sit the Nobility according to their precedency In the middle of the Floor there are two Tables on the one of them the Regalia are laid and in two great Chairs by them sit the Constable and the Marischal at the other Table sits the Lord Clerk of Registers with his Deputy-Clerks who are the Clerks of the Parliament There are also Fourms placed on the floor those on the right side are for the Commissioners of the Shires and those on the left hand are for the Commissioners of the Burroughs When all are placed the Parliament is fenced as the phrase is in the King's Name Then the King speaks to them if He be present sitting in His Robes with the Crown on His Head all standing up bare-headed but when a Commissioner represents Him he is in an ordinary Sute and stands and speaks also bare-headed nor is the Commissioner covered but when there is pleading at the Bar but continues bare-headed as all the Members are and tells them the reason for which they are called together which is enlarged upon by the Lord Chancellour Then they goe about the chusing of the Lords of the Articles who are Eight for every State who have been chosen in different ways Sometimes the Bishops did chuse the eight Lords of the Nobility and the Nobility eight for the Bishops at other times the Bishops did chuse their own eight and the Nobility their eight but now it is settled by an Act of Parliament that the King or His Commissioner names eight of the Bishops the Lords chuse eight for themselves and those sixteen do chuse eight Commissioners for the Shires and as many Commissioners for the Burroughs These Thirty two are the Committee of Parliament to prepare Matters When a Bill is drawn by them it is brought into the Parliament And anciently all these Bills were brought in the last day of Parliament on which the Members ride in the same State as they do the first day and the Bills being read they were put to the Vote of Parliament and either were approved or not and then being approved were presented to the King who by touching them with the Sceptre gave His Assent to them which also is done by His Commissioner in His absence if he refused to touch them they were of no force But of late times matters have been at full length and freely debated in Parliament They sit all in one House and every one answers distinctly to his Name and gives his Vote which is in these Terms I approve or not onely those who are not satisfied one way or another say Non liquet which is a great ease to those who are consciencious and a common refuge to the cunning Politician the major Vote carries it No Dissents or Protests are allowed in publick Acts but are accounted treasonable but in private Acts that relate to mens Properties and Rights any one may protest for his Interest After all business is ended the King or His Commissioner makes a Speech to them and dissolves them A Convention of Estates is made up of the same Members that constitute a Parliament but can make no Laws onely that can lay Impositions on the Subjects they do not sit in state and have been most used before the Kings were Crowned The Lord Chancellour is President in both these Courts and the Votes are taken and numbered by the Clerk of Registers And whatever Acts are passed in Parliament or Convention are to be proclaimed soon after their Dissolution at the publick Mercat-Cross of Edinburgh by the Lion Herauld who is at present Sir Charles Erskin of Cambo with a great deal of state and Ceremony after which they are obligatory on the Subjects And so much for the Parlaiment and the Three Estates whose Authority is supreme and it is Enacted that none of the Lieges shall presume to impugn the Dignity and Authority of the Three Estates or to seek or procure the Innovation or Diminution of the Power and Authority of the same Three Estates or any of them in time coming under the pain of Treason The Government of the Kingdom being wholly in the Crown the King administers it by His Officers of State and Privy Council The Officers of State are Eight The First is the Lord Chancellour who is Keeper of the Great Seal and President in all Courts where-ever he is except in the Exchequer This Office is now in the person of the Right Honourable John Leslie Earl of Rothes The Second Officer is the Lord High Treasurer who governs the Revenue and presides in the Exchequer This Office is now in Commission The Third Officer is the Lord Privie Seal who is at present the Marquess of Athol These three take place of all the Nobility The Fourth Officer is the Lord Secretary who keeps the Signet and is a Lord by his Office and takes place of all of his rank The Office of Secretary is executed by his Grace the Duke of Lauderdail The Fifth Officer is the Lord Clerk of Registers who has the charge of all the publick Records Rolls and Registers and names all the Clerks of Parliament and Session and the Keepers of publick Registers The Sixth Officer is the King's Advocate who is also called the Lord Advocate He is commonly a Judge except in Causes in which the King is concerned and in those he pleads in the
King's Name The present Advocate is Sir John Nubet of Dirlton The Seventh Officer is the Lord Treasurer Deputy who is assistent to the Lord High Treasurer and is a Check upon him and presides in the Exchequer in his absence This Office is executed by Sir Charles Maitland of Hatton The Eighth Officer is the Lord Justice Clerk who assists the Lord Justice general in Criminal causes The present Justice Clerk is Sir Thomas Wallace of Craigie All these have the Title of Lord and the precedency of all under Noblemen and their eldest Sons The Privy Council is chiefly employed about publick Affairs and judges of Riots and any Disturbance given to the Peace of the Kingdom Anciently the Lords of the Session were the King's Council and so are still called the Lords of Council and Session but the Power of the Privy Council has been most raised since King James got the Crown of England that by reason of the King 's necessary absence from Scotland the King hath lodged much of His Power with the Privy Council Lawyers do plead the causes of Riots before them and when Sentence is given every Privy Councellour gives his Vote and the major Vote carries it Lords of His Majestie 's Privy Council John Earl of Rothes Chancellour of the Kingdom Lord President of the Privy Council James Lord Archbishop of Saint Andrews his Grace John Duke of Lauderdail his Grace Alexander Lord Archbishop of Glasgow his Grace William Marquess of Douglas John Marquess of Athol Archbald Earl of Argile John Earl of Errol George Earl Marischal William Earl of Morton Alexander Earl of Murray Charles Earl of Mar.

Kinnaird of Rossie Sir John Wachop of Nidrie Sir Gerge Monro of Culkairn Lieutenant General Thomas Dalyell The Supreme Court of Judicature about the Property of the Subject is called the Colledge of Justice or the Session which was anciently an ambulatory Court but was settled as it now is by King James the Fifth Anno Christi 1532. to consist of fourteen who are called Senatours of the Colledge of Justice or Lords of Councill and Session and a President to whom are added the Lord Chancellour and four extraordinary Lords who are of the chief Nobility The extraordinary Lords have no Salary and are not obliged to attendance but when they come they have a Vote This Court sits from the first of June till the last of July and from the first of November till Christmas-Eve and from the first of January till the last of February they sit from 9 a clock in the Morning till 12 all the days of the Week except Sunday and Monday There is an Outer House and an Inner In the Outer there is a Bench where one of the Senatours sits a Week and all of them except the President have their turns in it who hears all Causes originally and where the Case is clear he gives Sentence But if it be difficult or if either party desires it he reports it to the rest of the Senatours who either send out their Answer by him or if it be very intricate and the parties or either of them desire it do appoint it to be heard before themselves This is a Court of great dispatch But besides the Judge on the Bench there is a Side-Bar to which one of the Judges comes out weekly by turns as in the former and receives and answers all Petitions and Bills The Inner House where all the rest of the Senatours sit is a Court of great State and Order The Senatours sit in a semicircle in Robes under them sit their Clerks who write the most material heads of all that is pleaded at the Bar where the Pleadings are long and very learned When the Senatours have after all the parties are removed reconsidered their Arguments they give their Sentence and the major Vote carries it Their final Sentence determines the business there lying no Appeal from them onely the Parliament as the Supreme Court may review and repeal their Sentence and they are called Decreets from the Latin Decreta Senatours of the Colledge of Justice Sir James Dalrymple of Stair President Sir John Nubet of Dirleton Sir Thomas Wallace of Craigie Sir Charles Maitland of Hatton Sir James Fowlis of Collington Sir Robert Nairn of Strathurd Sir David Nevoy of Nevoy Sir Peter Wederburn of Gosfurd Sir John Baird of Newbyth Sir John Lockart of Castlehill Sir Richard Maitland of Pitrichie Sir David Balfour of Forret Sir Thomas Murray Sir James Fowlis of Sir David Falconar of Newton The Law of Scotland is made up of the Municipal and Civil Laws The Municipal consists either of Acts of Parliaments or of the Customes and Practicks of the Colledge of Justice which are held of no less force then Acts of Parliament and where neither of these contradicts the Civil Law the Roman Law is of force This makes our Lawyers generally great Civilians for they goe either to Leiden Poictiers or Bourges and study the Civil Law in which some are learned to a high degree The Law of Scotland is easie and regular by reason of our Registers which are so full that Titles are much more easily cleared here then can be done where those Registers are not which may appear from the following Instances No man can have a Right to any Estate but by his being seised of it which is done by the delivery of Earth and Stone upon which an Instrument is formed called a Sasine and this must be registred within 60 days otherwise it is of no force by which means all secret Conveyances are cut off for if no Sasine be passed upon them or if these be not put in the publick Registers which every one may search the Conveyance is of no force All Bonds have a Clause in them for inserting them in the publick Registers and they being registred without any farther action by a charge of six days the Debitor must make payment otherwise Writs called Letters of Horning Caption and Poynding are given out by the first of which the party is under Outlawry and Rebellion and forfeits to the King his personal Estate and if he continues a year under it the Life-rent of his real Estate in which the Creditor is to be preferred for his interest the rest goes into the Exchequer By the Letters of Caption the party is seised on and put in prison nor is his House a place of security but may be searched for him By the Letters of Poynding the Debitor's Goods may be distrained where-ever they can be found A third Instance to which I shall adde no more is that any

Scotish History and High Commissioners With A compleat Catalogue of all the Arch-bishops and Bishops AN APPENDIX TO THE HISTORY OF THE Church of Scotland CHAP. I. Containing the Succession of the BISHOPS in their several SEES from the Reformation of Religion to the year 1676. Archbishops of SAINT ANDREWS AFTER that Cardinal David Beaton was murthered in his Castle of Saint Andrews by Normand Leslie and his Complices James Hamilton Duke of Chattelrault Governour of the Realm did nominate his base Brother John Hamilton Abbot of Pasley to the place who thereupon was elected by the Canons and soon after confirmed by Pope Paul the Third who fearing that Scotland would follow the example of England in casting off the Yoak of the Roman See was glad to gratifie the Governour in that particular About this time the Estimation of the Clergy began to decrease because of their corrupt Lives and gross Ignorance which induced divers of that number to relinquish their Order and to make open profession of the Truth multitudes also of Monks and Friers leaving their Cloisters began to exhort the people to renounce the Romish Fopperies and Superstitions and to submit to the Doctrine of Christ every-where crying out against the Corruptions of the Church The Prelates in stead of composing matters calmly took the contrary course exercising great Severity against them and cruelly burning such of the New Religion as they termed it as fell into their hands those who fled they prosecuted with the highest Censures of the Church Burning them in Effigie and Cursing them by Book Bell and Candle But all this Cruelty served to no purpose for the death of Walter Mill who was the last Martyr that suffered for Religion was the very bane of Popery in Scotland mens minds being now wholly alienated from the Clergy and their Consciences convinced that the Doctrine of Jesus Christ did neither allow such cruel Principles nor countenance such bloudy Practices To return then to Archbishop John Hamilton who was attainted of Treason under the Government of the Earl of Murray He lurked a while amongst his Friends in the West of Scotland but finding little security there he betook himself to the strong Castle of Dumbarton whereof the Lord Fleming was then Governour But this Fort beâ—ng negligently kept was afterwards surprised by three Companies of Foot sent thither by the Earl of Lennox then Regent commanded by three Captains Ramsay Crawford and Hume who seising upon the Prisoners sent them to sundry places and the Archbishop with a strong Guard to Striveling where he was publickly hanged on a Gibbet erected for that purpose 1570. He was the onely Bishop that suffered by form of Justice in this Kingdom At this time the Rents of this Bishoprick were by the Regent conferred upon the Earl of Morton for some years as a recompence of his great charges in his Embassy to England That Earl that he might enjoy them legally made choice of John Douglas Provost of the New Colledge of Saint Andrews before a Carmelite Frier and Chaplain to the Earl of Argile to be Titular Bishop who was with much opposition of the Presbytery for at that time there was no Chapter admitted and installed 1572. This Bishop sate little above two years and died at Saint Andrews 1575. After his death the Earl of Morton then Regent did prefer Patrick Adamson his Chaplain to the Bishoprick of Saint Andrews This Bishop was sorely vexed by those of the Kirk-party who prosecuted him with the highest Censures of their Church and excommunicated him very informally for not submitting to their Judicatory but the business was afterwards compounded and the Bishop relaxed He was a man of great Learning but an ill Administratour of the Churche's Patrimony He sate fifteen years and died at Saint Andrews 1591. Hereupon the See continued void and the Profits thereof were by King James the Sixth bestowed on the Duke of Lennox till the Parliament 1606. wherein the Temporalties of Bishopricks in former times annexed to the Crown were restored the want of which had rendered the Bishops of unserviceable both to Church and State About this time George Gladstanes Bishop of Cathnes was translated to Saint Andrews a man of ready utterance and of great invention but of an easie nature as appears by his being induced so easily to lease out his Benefice for so many Ages to come to the great detriment of his Successours But in this he was not singular for the rest of the Clergy both Papists and Protestants did let Leases of their Benefices to their Friends and others for Hundreds of years and that for a pitifull pittance Which Extravagancy was afterwards restrained by the wisedom of King James when he was of age for he enacted That Bishops should let Leases for nineteen years Rectours c. for their Life-time and three years and other Beneficed persons for their Life-time and three years with consent of their Patrons Bishop Gladstanes governed the See ten years and dying at Saint Andrews 1615. was interred in the South-East Isle of the Parish-Church Upon his death John Spotiswood Archbishop of Glasgow was translated to Saint Andrews who procured to this See whose Rents were almost wholly alienated by his Predecessours the Revenues of the Priory of Saint Andrews then in Lay-hands as also the restauration of three hundred pounds of English money per Annum of a long time swallowed up in the Crown-rents The Office of the Chancellary in the State conferr'd upon him by that Glorious Martyr King CHARLES the First he discharged to the satisfaction of his Royal Master and the Churche's advantage He was a person of rare Endowments and in all things compleatly qualified for his imployment Yet did he not escape the hard measure which other Loyal Subjects afterward tasted of for by the Covenanters he was forced to retire into England where he met with entertainment more suitable to his worth He ended his days in a good old age and was honourably interred in Westminster-Abby Anno 1639. after he had governed the See twenty four years About this time our long Peace and the Plenty which did accompany it made us wanton our Prosperity puft us up with Pride we were Enemies to our own welfare weary of our present estate too much desirous of Revolutions and greedy of Novelties Our private Discontents begat Jealousies and Animosities which since they could be no longer smothered must needs burst out into a flame We were afraid of we knew not what nothing but the Preservation of Religion must be the Pretext and the Cloak to cover the Knavery which was afterwards acted and notwithstanding the Satisfaction given unto us by the Best of Kings in laying aside the Book of Common-Prayer Book of Canons and High Commission yet still we continued dissatisfied All the Favours conferr'd upon us by the Best of Princes could not ingage us to continue in our Duty and Allegeance to Him All the good fruit we brought forth
or Obedience Thus continued they during the heat of Persecution and when Peace was restored they returned to their former Dwellings resuming their Callings which they had not left off but for a time laid aside Afterwards there sprung up another sort of Monks leading a solitary life when no Persecution forced them thereunto These considering the inconstancy of humane affairs that though they had Prosperity for the present it might be soon changed into a contrary condition if either the restless endeavours of Satan took effect or sinfull Christians were rewarded according to their deserts and prompted also thereunto by their own Melancholick dispositions chose a lone life and lived in Desarts Afterwards they were gathered together to live under one Roof because their Company would be chearfull in Health and needfull in Sickness one to another They sustained themselves by their Labour for every one had a Calling whereby to gain his Livelihood and relieved others by their Charity and very strict were they in their Lives and Conversations But afterwards Monks having sufficiency turned lazie then getting waxed wanton and at last endowed with superfluity became notoriously vicious and so they continued till they were finally extirpated Thus much concerning their Original proceed we next to their several Orders The first are the Benedictines or Black Monks so called from Saint Benedict or Bennet an Italian who flourished about the year 500 first Father and Founder of that Order The Benedictines and Augustinians came into Scotland about one time Their Convents 1.

Cromwell whereas the Authour sent over to the Printer a Dedication of his Book to His most Sacred Majestie at that time Prince of Wales and the Copy of that Dedication written with his own hand is yet in the custody of his Son the Reverend James Gordon Parson of Rothinay Thus much I thought fit to say in vindication of that worthy Gentleman who was one of the most learned persons of the Age he lived it Dempster in his Apparatus to the Scotish History has promised a great many things to the World which he never performed some have thought that he onely amused people by the undertaking he mentions in that Book Others believe that he knew of a great many Scotish Manuscripts beyond the Seas which were carried thither by Monks and Friers at the Reformation In most Religious houses there was a Chronicle written of the times divers of which I have seen that yet remain in Scotland some written in rithme English and Latine some in prose but there cannot be much made out of them they being full of Legends and Idle stories There are besides very considerable Manuscripts in Scotland that relate to private Families but give an account of several publick Transactions as the History of the Families of the Drummonds the Gordons c. But for a publick History of the Kingdom there is little more to be expected of past times then what hath been already published for as when Edward the First conquered Scotland he carried the Records and Registers of that Kingdom with him to London so in the late Invasion Cromwell thought it a very valuable pledge of the Scotish Nation to send up to the Tower of London all the publick Records Rolls and Registers of the Kingdom which lay there till His MAJESTY's happy Restauration after which by the KING's Orders they were sent down by Sea to be laid up in the Castle of Edinburgh but the Ship that was loaded with them was cast away near the Holy Island So they were all irrecoverably sunk and lost Therefore we must rely upon the credit of our ancient Historians since there are no means left to correct them by A compleat Catalogue of the BISHOPS and ARCHBISHOPS succeeding each other in their several SEES Bishops in SCOTLAND before its division into Dioceses 277. 1.
