Excerpt from The Pastor and the Prelate: Or Reformation and Conformity There are few events connected with the ecclesiastical history of Scotland more interesting to the student of Church History than those which happened during the greater part of the seventeenth century. The reformation from Popery was a glorious and happy consummation of religious liberty and truth to the people, who had so long been held in bondage and ignorance under the iron yoke of the Romish Church, and there followed after that eventful epoch a season of comparative rest and tranquillity to the Reformed Church. The Church of England, although reformed in point of doctrine from the errors and corruptions of the Church of Rome, still retained the rites and ceremonies of that church, - ceremonies which were highly obnoxious to the Presbyterians of Scotland, and which they looked upon with the utmost horror. King James VI. during his minority, and at the commencement of his reign, professed a strong attachment to the Presbyterian Church, and affected great dislike to episcopacy, but, after his accession to the throne of England, the splendid ceremonies of her church, and the flattery of her bishops, soon captivated his mind and pleased his vanity.
