HISTORICAL NOTICE.
The circumstances which led to the issuing of this Catechism and the purposes it was intended to serve, are set forth in the Canons of the Provincial Council of the Scottish Church, which met in Edinburgh on 26th January 1551-52. The only additional information we get regarding it is derived from the preface and con- clusion of the book itself. The canon^ informs us that the Council having before their eyes how the duty of preaching the word of God is commended to the pastors of the church by Jesus Christ the Prince of Pastors, and how important it was at that time that the flocks entrusted to their care should be well instructed, at least in the first rudiments of the Catholic faith, and con- sidering that the inferior ecclesiastics and the prelates, for the most part, had not yet made such attainments in sacred learning as to be able by their own study to instruct the people in the Catholic faith and other things necessary to salvation — therefore . . . they (the Council) statute and ordain that a certain book written in the common Scottish dialect, and after examination, approved by the wisest prelates, most learned divines, and other ecclesiastical persons present should be placed in the hands of the rectors, vicars, and curates, as well for their own instruction as for that of the Christian people

of wKom they have the care. This Catechism which is called a common and easy instruction and doctrine of the rudiments of the faith, containing, according to the sense and meaning of the Catholic church, a true and sincere interpretation of the Decalogue or Ten Command- ments of God, a simple and pure doctrine of the Articles of the Faith, and of the Seven Sacraments, and also a full and salutary exposition of the Lord's Prayer and the Angelical Salutation, is appointed to be printed in the name of the most reverend Lord John Archbishop of St Andrews, Primate of the whole realm of Scotland, and in name of the Council itself. A large edition of the book is ordered, and the whole of the copies when printed are directed to be delivered to the Archbishop, that he may give one of them to each of the ecclesiastics of his own diocese, and to each of the other Ordinaries as many as seem sufficient for each diocese, according to the number of the vicars and curates, and may keep the remainder by him in close custody to be distributed as time and necessity require. The inferior clergy are to beware of shewing their copies of the book indiscreetly to secular persons. These were only to see it by the judgment and at the discretion of the Ordinaries, who were to be allowed to give copies to some grave and discreet laymen seeming to desire them rather for their instruction than from curiosity. Finally, the rectors by themselves or the vicars and others serving the cure are directed on all Dominical and festival days when the people are wont and bound to attend divine service, to read and recite from the book itself, in the pulpit and vested in surplice and stole, each of the chapters and parts of this Catechism, beginning at the Preface and continuing

even to the conclusion without adding, altering, sup- pressing or omitting anything, and this for the space of half-an-hour before the celebration of high mass. They are enjoined carefully to prepare for this work "cum quanto possint maximo spiritus ardore, voce vultu et gestu ad pronuntiationem concurrentibus ut quse leguntur animis auditorum vivae vocis impressione . . . infigantur." Rigorous fines were to be exacted of those who should violate this and other canons. The book itself was published at St Andrews the same year, in the end of August, and both in the preface and in the conclusion farther earnest and detailed counsels were given as to the manner in which the duty enjoined therein and in the preceding canon should be discharged. It was also explained in the preface that this duty was obligatory only " quhen thair cummis na preicheour to thame to schaw thame the word of God."
With such thoughtfulness and care was the first and only " Book of Homilies " of the Pre-reformation Church of Scotland started on its brief career. The details of that career were not chronicled, or have not been preserved to our time. Whether like others of these reformatory canons, the canon as to this book was left practically inoperative,^ or was zealously carried out, whether the prohibition of the book to laymen was strictly continued or liberally interpreted, whether from the printed book or the regular preaching of it the intelligent laity gained a knowledge of its teaching and were thereby induced, for a time, to turn a deaf ear to the counsels of Knox, or whether it did not in the end lead many even of the priesthood to advance farther

than Its compilers — these are inquiries which we can now never hope to answer with an approach to certainty. All that we know definitely, is that when the crisis came and the old church was broken up, this Catechism dis- appeared from view, and that when the adherents of the old creed came to be re-organised, it was with a new Catechism and a new hierarchy. But though this is so, there is much to interest patriotic Scotsmen and antiquarians in the Book, as bringing into clear view what the leaders of the old church would have sub- stituted instead of what was actually adopted, as disclos- ing phases of opinion, customs, and habits, the very exist- ence of which had been almost forgotten, and as reveal- ing to us in its pure and unadulterated Scottish speech, the resources of that dialect for literary and hortatory purposes more fully perhaps than any other work of the time.
The opinions expressed by our historians as to the real author of this Catechism, its exact doctrinal stand- point, and its value as a manual of religious instruction, have been widely divergent. Bishop Keith has said of it, " It is a judicious commentary upon the Commands, the Belief, Lord's Prayer, Magnificat, Ave Maria ; and the author shows both his wisdom and moderation in handsomely eviting to enter upon the controverted topics. In a word, no divine at this day need be ashamed of such a work." ^ And with him Mr Lyon^ substantially agrees. Lord Hailes, on the other hand, has said that this " is erroneous in almost every particular." " Handsomely eviting must mean artfully eluding. But in truth, the praise here bestowed could not be

Notice. V
just ; the Catechism treats of the seven sacraments . . . and surely that subject could not be treated without entering on the controverted points." ^ And he tran- scribes a few passages from the Catechism to shew how little it answers the description given of it by Keith. Dr Cook has said of it, " The whole Catechism is written with much moderation ; and although it was of course designed to support the peculiar doctrines of the Church, it abounds with very judicious and practical reflections. The style is wonderfully good, and in many parts of the book there is displayed a laudable anxiety to remove the superstitious notions which pre- vailed in that age, and which proved a powerful obstacle to the advance of civilization." In his appendix he gives extracts from the Catechism in support of his views, and in a note following that quoted above, he corrects several mistakes into which Lord Hailes un- doubtedly fell from attending too exclusively to the canon of the Council, instead of reading it in connection with the preface and conclusion of the Catechism.^ Principal Lee, of all our historians, takes the most un- favourable view of the reputed author, and of the work ascribed to him.^ Dr M'Crie, while shewing that other controverted points besides those enumerated by Lord Hailes are unquestionably introduced, yet takes a more discriminating view of it. He admits that, " while the opinions peculiar to Popery are stated and defended, there is an evident design of turning away the attention of the people from these controversies, by reminding them

of their duty to believe ' as the haly Catholic Kirk believes,' and a great part of the book is occupied in declaring duties and general doctrines about which there is no dispute between Papists and Protestants." " Upon the whole this Catechism has been written with great care, and the style is by no means bad." ^ Mr David Laing briefly but emphatically remarks in a note on Hamilton that the Catechism which usually passes under his name " is most creditable to his memory." ^ Finally, Mr Hill Burton, in his graphic History, has almost returned to the position of Keith. " The Catechism," he says, " is a fine piece of composition, full of a spirit of charity and gentleness. It so carefully avoids whatever might irritate those who have a remnant of the old faith, by which they might still be drawn back, that Pro- testants not gifted with a powerful instinct for the discovery of heterodoxies might read much of it without finding cause of offence." Contrasting it with the later Catechism of the Council of Trent, he even goes the length of affirming that " throughout its whole tone and tendency one would pronounce the Scottish Catechism as the much more skilfully adjusted of the two, both for baflfling and appeasing the common enemy." He almost seems to hint that the Archbishop continued at a much later date enamoured with this policy, and rest- lessly strove to carry it out. He tells us when describing how the Primate was summoned before the High Court of Justiciary in 1563 for celebrating mass, that "there were reasons why neither the Romish party nor the Queen's personal friends should then be strongly inclined

to back him," and the reasons he assigns are that if he had shewn devotion to his church, he had shewn still more devotion to his own interest, and was believed to be working for a compromise between the two extreme parties in which there would be enough of Protestantism to satisfy the lay Reformers, and enough of Popery to preserve for him his high dignities and emoluments.^
The divergence of these opinions arises, no doubt, in part at least from the different points of view of their authors. If Bishop Keith at all shared the opinions expressed by his contemporary. Bishop Rattray, in his treatise on the Christian Covenant, he was not likely, any more than advanced Anglo-catholics in our own day, to discover much in this Catechism to be decidedly condemned, beyond the affirmation of the doctrine of transubstantiation, the defence of the use of images and of communion in one kind, and some of the statements regarding purgatory. On the other hand, more thorough-going Protestants in extending the list of controverted heads, seem at times to have forgotten that several of those they have enumerated were matters not only accepted by Henry VIII. and his bishops long after they had broken with the Pope, but some of them also tolerated for a time by Luther, Melanchthon, and others of the German Protestants, and that the period when this Catechism was being composed was just that when compromises and interims were most persistently pressed in Germany, and the emperor and the most liberal theologians of the old Church were making a last effort so to arrange the differences that had arisen as to preserve unbroken the external unity of the

Church. We believe now on both sides that no real compromise was possible, and that it was better these efforts did not succeed, and that a separation did take place. But that must not make us forget that they were actually made, that Melanchthon and many more were carried away by them for a time, and that even the more stalwart Flacius Illyricus was almost driven to despair of the future of Protestantism. Into those piercing utterances by which he sought to rouse his co- religionists from their lethargy, his whole soul was thrown, and even yet they ring through the heart like the " cry of some strong swimmer in his agony."
Did this German movement extend to Scotland ? and can we trace its influence in this Catechism ? I am satisfied that it did extend to this country, and am in- clined to think there are traces of its influence in this book, which can yet be disclosed.
First of all the teaching of Major to some extent pre- pared the way for it. Though no friend of Lutheranism he contended zealously, and encouraged others to do the same, for a reformation in morals, and in the discharge of clerical duty, and for the removal of various accretions that had in ages of ignorance gathered round doctrines which General Councils had sanctioned ; and once and again he threw his shield over pupils and friends who were accused of teaching heresy when they were only earnestly striving to carry home forgotten truth or duty to the hearts of men. Like the divines of the Gallican school, he asserted the supremacy of a General Council, even over the Pope.
Then secondly, it was by the leaders of this school in Germany, that catechetical preaching was first taken up

in the old Church with vigour. Some deHvered courses of sermons, others drew up catechetical manuals^ for the assistance of those under them, and of the clergy generally, in the discharge of this long neglected duty. The first of these divines I name, both be- cause, so far as I know, he was first in time, and because his book appears to have had a special in- fluence on the Scottish Catechism, is Hermann von Wied, Archbishop of Cologne from 15 15 to 1546. Ultimately Hermann went farther than at first he had intended to go, and was deprived of his dignity. But, when in 1536 he held a Provincial Council at Cologne, and with its consent passed a number of reformatory canons, and set friends to prepare an Knchiridion Chr'tstiance Institutioiiis to assist his clergy in the in- struction of their flocks, he was taking counsel, not with Melanchthon or Alesius, but with Gropper, Pflugk and other like-minded theologians of the old Church. The second I mention is Fredericus Nausea, Suffragan of Mainz — the other great Archbishopric on the Rhine — - who stood high in the favour of Charles V. and his brother Ferdinand of Austria, and was ultimately ad- vanced to the Bishopric of Vienna. He preached a series of catechetical discourses to the people of Mainz, and in 1542 began to digest them into a Catechismus Catholicus in five books, which was published in 1544, if not earlier, and again in 1551. The third I name
1 It is hardly necessary to explain that these treatises, even those of them bearing the formal name of catechisms, were not generally in the form of ques- tion and answer, though that form was at least in part adopted in the Scottish book. They were simple expositions of elementary Christian truths and duties, such as, before this *' Catechism" was made, the Council of 1 5 49 had recom- mended the Scottish clergy to give to their parishioners.

is Michael von Helding, titular Bishop of Sidon, who succeeded Nausea as Suffragan of Mainz, and finally was promoted to the Bishopric of Merseburg, and constituted a member of the Imperial Chamber. Like his predecessor he preached a series of catechetical dis- courses in Mainz, about 1542-3, which were greatly valued, and some years after were published in German, and in 1562 were translated into Latin and published in France. Before 1 542 he had prepared a small Catechism specially intended as a manual of instruction for the young, and in 1549 or 1550 he enlarged this into the Institutio ad p'tetatem Christlanam^ which was appended to the Constitutions of the Provincial Council of Mainz, held in the year 1549, ^'^^ '^^s designed, like the Enchiridion of Hermann, to serve as a help and guide to the clergy in their discourses and teaching. A fourth author of the same school may be named, who was supposed to come so near in some things to the Re- formers, that for a time a report gained currency that he had gone over to them, like Monhemius who at first occupied the same standpoint. This was Conrad Kling or Clingius, of the Franciscan Monastery at Erfurt, who also preached a series of catechetical discourses, which he digested into four books, and published under the title of Catechismus CathoUcus^ summam institutionis Chris- tiancB IIII. libris succinctim complect ens.
Three of these manuals were certainly known in Scotland about the time that Archbishop Hamilton's Catechism was being prepared.

who was a member of the Provincial Council of 1549, and, no doubt, of that of 155 1-2 also. From the Library of the University of St Andrews 1 have a copy of the 1550 edition of the Constitutio?ies Concilii Prov'incialis NLoguntini^ with the Inst'itutio of Michael von Helding appended, which bears the signature of Edmundus Hay, at that time one of the Regents of St Salvador's College, and afterwards, it is said, president of the Jesuits' College at Paris. In the oldest catalogue of the books of St Mary's College mention is made of four copies of Fr. Michael's Catechism, which may possibly have been the small Catechism or Brevis Institutio mentioned above as Helding's first catechetical treatise. These are gone, as also a copy of Nausea's Catechismus which formerly was there.
From the same Library I have a copy of the 1547 edition of the Canons of the Provincial Council of Cologne already referred to, and appended thereto a copy of the 1547 edition of the Cologne Enchiridion. This bears on its title-page the name of John Duncanson, then B.D. and a canon in the Priory, and by 1553 Principal of St Leonard's College. In the sixteenth century there were two copies of the book in the Col- lege Libraries here, and perhaps as many at Aberdeen. In the catalogue of St Leonard's College Library imme- diately after the title of this book is the entry, " Opus- culum Theologicum manuscriptum ejusdem primarii," which may possibly have been some abridgement of the above work, or of some later treatise of Hermann.^
1 His later treatise " Of Reformation," composed with the assistance ot Bucer and Melanchlhon met with the determined opposition of Cropper and the canons, and ultimately led to his deprivation. Hermann was not himself

I have carefully compared the Enchiridion with the Scottish Catechism of 1552, and I can hardly doubt that the compilers of the latter had consulted the former and made large use of it, or of some previous treatise from which it also ntay be drawn. The following are the chief points of resemblance I have noticed : — Both are divided into four books or principal parts, only that which is last in the Enchiridion is first in the Catechism. The one has minute tables of contents and of common places prefixed. The other has a combined table of matters and common places. Both have the folios, not the pages, numbered. Both have on the margins refer- ences not only to the texts quoted, but also to the con- tents of the more important paragraphs, and these refer- ences are often similar. Both arrange the commandments as is generally done in Roman Catholic and Lutheran Catechisms, assigning three to the first table and seven to the second, and there is very considerable similarity in the detailed exposition of several commandments. The articles of the Creed are similarly arranged in the one or two cases in which variety of arrangement is possible, and the detailed exposition of most of the articles is very similar. The Seven Sacraments are arranged in the same order in both, save that the Sacrament of extreme unction holds the last place in the one and the fifth in the other.
a preacher ; his enemies affirm he was not even a thoroughly educated man. He certainly owed his high promotion more to his princely rank than to his intellectual attainments. But the glimpses we get of him in the writings of Alesius and Melanchthon leave a favourable impression. He at least had the gift of drawing round him educated and thoughtful men, and engaging them to do valuable work for him. By the canons of his Council and his Enchiridion, he gave a much needed impulse to the work of reform in the Old Church, and by liis latest treatise he furnished materials of which Cranmer, and probably also Knox were not ashamed in some measure to avail themselves.
Notices xiii
There Is a prologue or introduction to the part on the sacraments in both. After the chapter on Baptism follows one explaining the ceremonies used in Baptism, and after that on Confirmation is inserted a chapter explaining the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. The explanation of the ceremonies used in Baptism is usually found in such Cate- chisms, but that of the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost I have not found in any of the contemporary manuals T have examined save these two. These chapters are very much alike in detail, and generally the resemblance between the two treatises is even closer in this part than in the first or second. The same holds true of the part on prayer. In both, as in most contemporary Catechisms, the Lord's Prayer is divided into seven peti- tions. The detailed exposition of the first six is closely similar in both. The Scottish Catechism sums up its exposition of each petition by a prayer embodying the substance of the exposition. There is nothing answering to this in the Efichiridion^ nor can the prayers in any of the treatises I have consulted be regarded as the source of those in the " Catechisme."^ Several speci- mens of the resemblances in details, which I have indi- cated above, will be found at the close of this notice.
But, thirdly, the compilers of the Scottish Cate- chism seem occasionally to have sought help, even outside the interimistic or minimising school of the old church. They have embodied in their exposition of the first article of the Creed, at least one extract from the Larger Catechism of Luther,^ and in their explanation of

" the sacrament of penance," two or three from King Henry VIII.'s *' Necessary Doctrine and Erudition for any Christian man,'' and I almost think that in the beautiful exposition of faith inserted in the introduction to the Creed I discern a trace or two of Cranmer's later homilies. These coincidences also I insert at the close of this notice. Of course I do not mean to assert that even these are outside the limits of allowed Roman Catholic teaching, but simply to call attention to the sources from which they appear to have come, as helping us to determine the school of divines to which the compilers must have belonged.
Lastly, the contents of the Catechism seem to me, to a certain extent, to favour this view. No doubt the doctrine of trans ubstantiation is distinctly taught, and could not fail to be so, on the general principle once and again laid down, that the decisions of General Councils, in matters of faith, are infallible. The use of images too is defended, as are also prayers to the Virgin and to the saints in glory, as mediators of intercession, and prayers for the souls in purgatory. There is also taught the common interest of the faithful in the good deeds of all their Christian brethren, and the lawfulness of ceremonies intended " to decore the sacraments " and ritual of the Church. But all of these tenets are defended on the principles and from the standpoint of the German school, and most unquestionably certain notable doctrines we should have expected to find are either conspicuous by their absence, or are put into a very subordinate place. There is no mention of the
mandments before that of the Creed is the one usually followed in contemporary Lutheran Catechisms, but rarely in those of the old church.

Vicar of Christ in the definition of the Church as there is in that given in the Catechism of the Council of Trent, nor in the exposition of the commandment treating of the reverence due to spiritual as well as to secular authorities, nor in the explanation of the " sacra- ment of order " as there is in the Knchiridion} The doc- trine of an unwritten Word of God, of equal authority to the written Word, is not formally taught, though incidental reference is made to the reverence due to the traditions of the Church and the teaching of its great doctors. Then most of the other catechetical treatises issued by the divines of the Roman Catholic Church about that period contain, immediately after the section treating of the Sacrament of the Altar, a distinct section treating of the Sacrifice of the Mass. Even Henry VIII.'s book has it, as has also the Cologne Enchiridion. There is no such section in the Scottish Catechism, though there are incidental references more or less vague to the subject in other parts of the book. The doctrine which is put throughout in the foreground is that of the

authority of the external Church as represented in General Councils lawfully gathered, to determine all questions and controversies in religion, and the necessity of remaining in the communion of this external Church, having unbroken succession of bishops, in order to share in the benefits of the death and mediation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I do not suppose that the occasional reference in unexpected places to dogmas which are not explicitly stated and defended in the places where we should naturally have expected to find them, is due, as some have suggested, to " artful " contrivance, or that its results would necessarily have been what Mr Hill Burton has supposed. I think it more likely that these references were the contribution of some one appointed to revise the book, and who thought the original compiler of it had yielded up too much, and I am somewhat confirmed in this by not finding them in such places in the Cologne Enchiridion. I admit that there is something to be said for the view of Mr Hill Burton, that this mode of statement was likely to prove of greater service to their cause than a more decided one, and I cannot forget that in our own day we have had only too good proof that even a less pronounced acceptance of their theory of the Church has in the end had such a result. Yet, on the other hand, I cannot shut my eyes to the fact that, in the age of the Reformation, several who started from that standpoint in England, and Scotland, and Germany, were in the end led on to the fuller acceptance of the Reformed teaching, and that, therefore, there is as much to be said for the opinion that the Church of Rome made no blunder in policy, but

acted really for her own interests, when she gave her sanction to the Catechism of the Council of Trent, rather than to any of the Catechisms of these mini- misers of the differences between the churches.
Tradition has associated prominently with this Scottish Catechism the name of one who remained long in suspense between the rival systems, taking his seat in the Councils, and even acting as an Assessor at the trial of those accused of holding the reformed doctrines, but who yet, as is recorded on his tombstone, " rebus conversis Episcopus Fifanorum evasit," and lived to aid in drawing up the standards of the new church. The credit of this tradition has been somewhat shaken by the discovery of an old list of the books in the Library of St Leonards College, in which the Catechism of Wynram is entered immediately before that of Hamilton. It is just possible, however, that this entry was, like several others in the list, not an exact transcript from the title-page of the book, but the cataloguer's description of it, and that it was simply Wynram's original draft of the Catechism' or a printed copy corrected in accordance with it. The only alternative is not that a single copy but a whole edition of a book has disappeared, and that while taking such precautions to prevent their own Catechism getting into the hands of the laity, the Council should have taken no notice of Wynram's.
But whatever conclusion may be come to regarding this old tradition, there was no lack of men of the same school then in Scotland who would have gladly helped in the preparation of such a work. In

St Andrews itself there was not only Wynram, but Douglas, the honoured head of the Archbishop's College, who also aided in preparing the standards of the Reformed Church.^ There were, besides, in the Univer- sity, probably in the same college with Douglas, two Englishmen, high in the favour of the Primate, who had yielded to the changes made by Henry VIII., but had shrunk from those of Edward VI., and one of whom at least is said to have continued to vacillate between the two systems till a considerably later period. These were Richard Smyth, who disputed with Peter Martyr and Ridley at Oxford, and Richard Martial, whom some identify with the Marian Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, others, with greater probability, with Richard Marshall, Prior of Blackfriars, Newcastle. The latter is described in our University books as '* preconem eximium." Pro- bably we owe to them the extracts from Henry VIII.'s book found in the Scottish treatise, and per- haps it is by a natural slip of theirs that in one instance (fol. 1 74) we have the words "in Inglis^'' for *'our common Scottish speech." Several of the Primate's own relatives seem to have belonged to the same school, wavering for a time, like the lay head of the house, between the two systems, and ultimately like him joining the ranks of the reformed. Some continued to waver on still longer, and it was not till 1574 that John Hamilton left St Mary's College, and in a foreign land cast in his lot with the old Church. There is some reason to believe that the Pri-

mate himself, at least to a certain extent, sympathised with this school. The testimony of Knox and Buchanan, opponents though they were, is surely sufficient to establish the fact that this was claimed for him and Panter on their return home in 1543.^ His first assault against heretics was based on the same ground as that of Henry VI 11.,^ and even much later, if traditions pre- served by Spottiswood are at all to be relied on, he ad- mitted the need of some reform in doctrine. 3 If he also felt the need of reform in life he never in his own person gave practical proof of it.
David Panter, who came home from France with the Primate, is said to have shared his early opinions. He repeatedly visited the Emperor of Germany as Scottish ambassador, and in 1550 negotiated a treaty with him. He could hardly fail to be brought into contact with the Court divines, or urged to favour the policy of compro- mise their master was then so keenly advocating.
The style of the Catechism is good, its illustrations and similes are generally well chosen. Though bearing traces of the coarseness of the age, it is singularly calm in tone, and wonderfully free from the tirades against opponents which bulk so largely in some contemporary catechisms. It can never lose its value as one of the most important specimens of our ancient Scottish speech while yet unvulgarised and uncorrupted by English and French modes of spelling. In this respect, certainly, it may take its place side by side with the '' Complaint of Scotland" and the "gude and godly Ballads."

XX Historical
" A great part of the book," as Dr M*Crie says, is occupied " in declaring duties and general doctrines about which there is no dispute." And in addition to its expositions of such doctrines and duties, and its warn- ings against prevalent vices and superstitions, there are many things in it which can hardly fail to be deemed of interest by Scotchmen still, notwithstanding the grave differences which divide most of them from its compilers. Some persons in our day never allow themselves to use any other term than " the Kirk," to designate the present Northern Establishment, and seem to think that it im- plies something less or else than the term " Church " which they use when speaking of other communions. But here they will see that the term was one which the pre-reformation Church did not disdain to use when she spoke in a language " understanded of the people." Others of the same class have a strange aversion to that form of the fifth petition in the Lord's Prayer which is still in common use in Scotland. But here they may learn that it is older than the time of Calvin, and that the pre-reformation Church was not ashamed to teach her people to say " forgive us our debts^ even as we forgive our debtors,^'* Others still represent the long accepted Scottish view as to the sanctity of the Lord's day, as having come to us from a later source than the Reformation. But here they will find that it is of older date, and that by these doctors, and the older mediseval teachers, on whom they drew, the moral ele- ment in the command for the sanctification of the Sabbath is distinctly acknowledged, nay, asserted, to re- quire the consecration of the entire day. But for the words " heir the hie mes" or at the least " ane said mes"
Notice. xxi
there would be here a directory for the public and pri- vate sanctification of the day, which would go far to satisfy the straitest sect among us. Even the peculiar spelling of the word " Sabboth " which we meet with so often in subsequent times, and which some look on as a proof of the illiterateness of our reforming fathers, is found in this " Catechisme." The favourite Scottish definition of a sacrament as an ordinance " wherein by sensible (not merely visible) signs Christ and his benefits are represented, sealed, and applied," was not first ex- cogitated at Westminster, but had been to a certain extent anticipated by pre-reformation archbishops in Germany and Scotland when they spoke of a sacrament as a " sensible sign, token, and mark of grace, which it contains and signifies" — " sensibilia signa invisibilis gratise Dei." The designation for the Lord's table — " God's Board " — which was so often employed by English divines under Edward VI. was not, it appears, confined to Protestants, for here also we have it used by the pre- reformation doctors of Scotland when again and again they speak of the table as the " buird of God " and the " buird of Christ." The well-known text John iii. 1 6, they do not hesitate, like Augustine and many of the 17th century divines, to interpret of a world within a world when they say " Sa God hes luffit the world (that is, the hail congregation oi faithful men and women)." Nor do they hesitate with them to assert, that the death of Christ has a special relation to those who in truth believe on him, when thev teach that he " tholit passion to make satisfaction and mendis for all our sinnis that has a true and leivand faith in himT Very singular is the translation given of 1 Tim.

iv. 14. " Neglect nocht the grace or the gift of God quhilk is in thee, quhilk is given to thee throw pro- phecie with the imposition of the hands of 2ine preist " — as if presbyteri were their reading of the Latin text. (Fol. ci., ciiii., clxii.) Farther, we have to trace up to them the explanation of '' confiding in God," by the expressive Scotch word " Hppening," which has been such a favourite one with many of our most earnest revival preachers in later times. Indeed, the entire explana- tion of faith given in the introduction to the exposition of the creed, is most noteworthy. The distinction of two sorts of faith, the one historical and general, the other more particular and saving, is ancient and common, but the full definition of the second sort as implying " fiducia " (not intellectual assent only, but the trust of the heart), and as being the " trew, leifFand, wyrkand and special faith," "the faith that justifeis a christin man," though similar to statements found in several places of the Cologne Enchiridion, and of Kling's Catechism, seems to me at times to come nearer to those found in the later treatises of Archbishop Hermann and in the Edwardian Book of Homilies. If it is not in terms contrary to the definition of the Council of Trent, it is unquestionably the view of faith which Hesselius and the theologians of Louvain meant to oppose when they wrote contra novitatem specialis Jidei^ though they chose rather to associate this with the names of others who had openly separated from their church. In 1528 it had been charged as heresy against Patrick Hamilton, that he had taught " that faith, hope, and charity are so knit, that he that hath the one hath the rest." But in the Catechism of 1552 it is distinctly taught: " This
Notice. xxiii
faith is alwayts jonit with hoip and cheritie, and werkis throw lufe." (Fol. xciiii.)
The fourth part of the Catechism, so far as it has reference to the Lord's Prayer, is perhaps the most re- markable of all, whether we have regard to the general purport of its teaching, or to the eight Scottish prayers in which it sums up that teaching ; or to the light it throws on a strange practice which had grown up in rude times, and the reality of which some still seem to doubt. Fox has told us that the question, whether the Pater Noster might be said to the saints as well as to God, had been the subject of discussion in the pulpits and in the schools of St Andrews, and even in one of the councils of the Church. The more ignorant he represents as contending that it might, and the better informed that it might not, and he says that in the end it was referred to the Sub-prior of St Andrews to frame a canon on the subject. Knox does not refer to the matter at all, nor even to the meeting of the Councils of 1549 and 1552, for he was then absent from Scotland, and his account of the transactions of these years is very meagre. But Spottiswoode and Calder- wood do refer to the controversy, and substantially endorse the statement of Fox, who says that he got his information from Scotland. The statement, however, has been set down as " a tale of Fox." It is indeed admitted by one most competent authority that there may have been controversy on this subject in some of the monasteries, for he knew that Sir David Lindsay had written,
** Frieris sail nocht knaw -weill in thair closters To quhome they sail say thair Pater Nosters."
XXIV Historical
It is admitted by another as possible that the subject may even have been discussed in the University. But it has been deemed impossible it should have come before a Council of the Church, and it has been attempted to explain otherwrise the unextended canon for which place had been left in the records of the Council of 1549, circa orationem dominicam. It has also been overlooked that the names of the disputants and other prominent persons mentioned by Fox, are found in the list of the members of that Council which has been published since his day. May not the Catechism of 1552, however, be regarded as casting light on what hitherto has been deemed obscure, and may it not be that in its clear and distinct utterances we have the judgment of the Sub-prior on the point said to have been referred to him ? " This word, qui es in ccelis^ may nocht be said bot to God onlyT "Amang all the prayers quhilk a Christin man may say to God^ thair is nane sa worthie and sa excellent as is the prayer callit the Pater Noster." " In sevin petitions it contenis al thingis quhilk we desyre^r^^ God.^' " That we desyre at God in the first petition." "In the thre petitiouns that followis we desyre at God to gif us all gud." " In the thre last petitiouns we desyre at God to deliver us fra al evil." Finally the eight prayers modelled on it are each of them expressly directed to be said to God.'^ (Fol. clxxiiii., clxxvii., (^c.)
1 Strange as this controversy now appears to us, it was not confined to the more ignorant sort in Scotland. It was discussed between Latimer and his opponents from the pulpits at Bristol, and is referred to in the works of other English Reformers, Bullinger and Calvin give us reason to conclude it was not unknown in Switzerland, and Hermann of Cologne to believe it was not unknown in Germany.
Notice. XX V
It is only necessary in conclusion to say that my views on the great questions at issue between the Reformed and Unreformed Churches are well known and have very recently been re-stated. But I have not thought that this should prevent me from complying with the request of the Publisher, who deserves so well of all the lovers of old Scottish literature, to write a brief historical notice of this Catechism. It was almost a matter of course that a reprint of it should follow after those of the Aberdeen Breviary and the Arbuthnot Missal. And if the historical notice of it was to proceed from a Protest- ant at all, probably it will not be deemed inappropriate that it should come from one whose training and work from early manhood have been in the College for which Archbishop Hamilton did so much, and which he loved so well.
The text of the Catechism was printed off before I was asked to write this notice, and I am responsible only for what I have written and for the table of errata I have drawn up to supplement the imperfect one in the old edition of the book. That edition suffered not only, as is there indicated, from an occa- sional deficiency of ink in the types, but still more from a not unfrequent superfluity, so that the letters at times are blotted as well as indistinct, and difficult to be made out.

It is diligently to be noted that faith is taken in the Scripture two manner of ways. There is one faith which in Scripture is called a dead faith . . . idle barren and unfruitful. . . This faith is a persuasion and belief in man's heart, whereby he knoweth that there is a God and agreeth to all truth of God's most holy word. — Homily of Faith.

And such a manner of faith have the wicked and naughty Christian people, which confess God as St Paul says in their mouth, but deny him in their deeds, — Homily of Faith.
Another faith there is which . . . may be called a quick and lively faith. And this is not only the common belief of the articles of our faith, but it is also a sure trust and confidence of the mercy of God. — Homily of Faith.

A Godly Exhortation
as set forth
by John Archbishop of St Andrews
commonly styled
" The Twopenny Faith."
M.D.LIX.
The Provincial Council or Synod, which was held at Edinburgh on the 26th of January 155 1-2, authorised the publication of " The Catechisme," in the vernacular tongue, which contains an Exposition of the Command- ments, the Creed, and the Lord's Prayer, to be used solely by the Clergy for reading to the people, " quhen thair cummis na preachour to thame to schaw thame the word of God."^ This well-known work was printed at St Andrews, 29th of August 1552, at the expense and in the name of John Hamilton, Archbishop of St Andrews. It is a quarto volume of 220 leaves, and has strangely been confounded by Spottiswood^ and other writers with a small treatise which was issued by authority of the Provincial Synod, in March 1558-9, and was called by the people in derision The Tuoa-penny Fa'ith,^ This, name it is said, "was derived from Archbishop
1 See Wilkins's Concilia, vol. iv., p. 7 2, Art. 16. "Circa editionem et publica- tionem Catechismi, in gratiam virorum Ecclesiasticorum curam animaium gerentium." The prohibition of allowing any of the multa exemplaria to come into tlie hands of the laity, is sufficiently explicit ; the Canon providing, as Lord Hailes observes, that the book, should not be circulated among the people, but be read to them omnibus Dom'imc'is et festi'vis d'tebus. (Historical Memorials concerning the Provincial Councils of the Scottish Clergy.)

Hamilton allowing the pedlars, to take two pennies tor their pains in hawking it abroad." The sum of two pence, or the sixth part of one shilling Scottish money, was equivalent to the sixth part of one penny sterling.
Of this treatise no fragment was supposed to be extant; but a copy was recently discovered by the Rev. George A. Griffin, of New Abbey, in a volume of miscellaneous tracts belonging to the Rev. Henry Small, Catholic Priest, Dumfries ; and he most obligingly obtained for the Editor the use of the volume, with permission to reprint this tract. The original edition is comprised in four pages, and is here reprinted in facsimile. The copy is partially mutilated, but with Mr Griffin's aid the deficiencies have been supplied by the words enclosed by brackets. That this Exhortation was the treatise alluded to seems very evident. The types as clearly indicate that it came from the press of John Scott, who had exercised the art of printing for many years, some- times at St Andrews, but chiefly in Edinburgh. Even as a typographical curiosity it was worth preserving ; but its interest is much enhanced, when we consider that it exhibits one of the well-meant efforts (the qucedam catholicce exhortatioiies et sucmicta declarationes) on the part of the Provincial Council to stimulate the Roman Catholic clergy of the time to a more faithful and con- sistent discharge of their duties, and to check the progress of the Reformed opinions at this critical period.
Bishop Lesley refers to certain Articles presented to the Queen Regent, " be the Lords and Barons,' which she sent to this Council by the Earl of Huntley : the first of these contained a request, " That the Commone prayers should be permitted to be used publiclie in the
parryshe kirkis, and the minlstratioun of the Sacramentis, in the Inglis toung."' We may also notice, as an important document connected with the progress of the Reformation in Scotland, " the Remonstrance to the Prelates and other Churchmen assembled in the Pro- vincial Council holden at Edinburgh in March and April A.D. M.D.Lix., craving redress of several grievances complained of in the Ecclesiastical Administration of Scotland." No names are affixed to this Remonstrance, but it apparently proceeded from persons of distinction, who were anxious for the preservation of the existing Church. Along with the " Acta Concilii Provincialis totius Cleri Scoticani utriusque Provincial habiti Edin- burgi, A.D. 1559," i^ ^^ published by Dr Wilkins in his great work, " Concilia Magnse Britanniae et Hibernise,"* and by Dr Joseph Robertson, in his " Statuta Ecclesiae ScoticancC." 3
