Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Andrew Melville, Vol. 1 The following work may be viewed as a continuation of the account of ecclesiastical transactions in Scotland which I some years ago laid before the public in the Life of John Knox. The period which it embraces, though not distinguished by any event so splendid as the Reformation, is by no means destitute of interest. It produced men who, in point of natural abilities, were scarcely inferior, and in respect of acquired talents were decidedly superior, to those who had been instrumental in bringing about the great religious revolution. The dangers to which the reformed religion and the liberties of the nation were exposed during the early administration of a youthful prince - the contests which the church maintained with the court in behalf of her rights - the establishment of the presbyterian polity - and its overthrow after a long and eager struggle, - are events important in themselves, and in the influence which they had on the future affairs of Scotland and of Britain.
