Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret and True History of the Church of Scotland: From the Restoration to the Year 1678 Of the Rev. Mr James Kirkton´s pedigree, which probably was ever very obscure, nothing has as yet been ascertained. He left no memoirs of himself that have reached posterity; and his sufferings in the cause of presbytery did not obtain him a place in that copious volume of Caledonian martyrology, entitled, "Biographia Scoticana, or a Brief Historical Account of the Lives, Characters, and memorable Transactions of the most eminent Scots Worthies." From several passages in his History, and one in Lord Fountainhall´s Diary, it is probable that he was born about the year 1620. To a quarto copy of the Solemn League and Covenant (printed at Edinburgh by Evan Tyler, 1648) Kirkton´s signature has been discovered; and as aU, or the greater part of his companions who subscribed, are known to have been clergymen at that time, and as he styles himself! Mr James Kirkton, (he sometimes wrote Kirton,) a distinction confined, in a great measure, to those who had been ordained preachers, it is to be presumed that he was then in orders. The date of his Covenanting Work, as it was called, is 11 Aprile, 1649. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
