settlement in Britain, from the antiquities of Ireland, which, Dr. Mackenzie
says, shows Lord Cromartie to have been a great master in Irish antiquities ;
though the labours of Bishop Usher prove, to any unbiassed reader, that
their antiquities, as well as those of other nations, are involved in fables and
inextricable difficulties. The other manuscript was a Geographical Descrip-
tion of the Kingdom of the Picts and the Ancient Pictish Families. 1
Of the harmony between the churches of England and Scotland, at the
Beformation, Lord Cromartie, in the Vindication, No. 14, gives an instance
quoted from the Becords of the Church of Scotland, which he describes. On
27th December 1565, the General Assembly allowed John Knox to go to
England to officiate for some time there as a minister of that church, and sent
with him a supplication to the Bishops of England to deal gently with such
of the clergy there as scrupled at some of the ceremonies.
Lord Cromartie was instrumental in preserving some of the Becords of the
Church of Scotland. An Act of the General Assembly, dated 16th April
1707, nominates a committee to wait on the Earl of Cromartie, to receive by
his own free offer the Begister of the General Assembly from 1560 to 1610.
An Act of the Commission, dated 21st and 2 2d January 1708, appoints the
Moderator and other members to wait on the Earl, aud, in the Commission's
name, heartily to thank him for the " singular favour " he had done the
Church in giving up the Begister of the General Assembly, beginning
31st December 1562, and ending 27th April 1593, etc. An Act of the
Assembly, dated 22d April 1708, in terms similar to the preceding, appoints
members to wait on the Earl with thanks for the donation of the foresaid
Begister, and earnestly to entreat his Lordship to do what he could to recover
the other volume or volumes of the Begister which were once in his hands. 2
