royal supremacy in dissolving the meeting filled the Assembly and the Church
with consternation. It came upon them, says Boston, a member of the Assembly
and an eye-witness of the scene, ‘ like a thunder-clap, the Moderator, otherwise
a most grave and composed man, being in as much confusion as a school-boy
when beaten. . . . This was one of the heaviest days that ever I saw, beholding
a vain man trampling on the privileges of Christ’s house, and others couching
under the burden.’

Innerwick to the Old Church Parish, Edinburgh, in 1713; died 8th August
1756, in his eightieth year.—Scott’s Fasti.
