which William of Orange and Conde and Turenne were the opposing leaders,
was brought to an end. Holland, by her heroic defence, had presented a barrier
against the ambitious designs and dangerous aggressions of the French,
saving probably the liberties of Germany, as well as her own, and emerging
uninjured as a nation from the long series of attacks to which she had been
subjected.

residents in Utrecht, the Provincial States and the Municipal Corporation gave
them the Church of St. Catherine for their place of meeting, and allowed a sum
°f 3°° guildens yearly towards the support of a minister. The first minister was
Mr. Thomas Scot, who was ordained on the 20th May 1662. At this time,
when Turnbull preached here, a Mr. John Best was the minister—ordained in
1655.—Steven’s Scottish Church, Rotterdam, p. 337 et seq.
