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

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 


Notice.  ix 

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. 


X  Historical 

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.  Through  the  kindness  of  Dr  Milligan 
I  have  before  me  from  the  University  Library  of  Aber- 
deen a  copy  of  the  155 1  edition  of  Nausea's  Catechismus 
Catholicus^  bearing  the  signature  of  Alexander  Anderson, 


Notice.  xi 

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

xiv  Historical 

"  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.

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

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 

^  In  a  MS.  catalogue  of  the  books  in  the  library  in  the  end  of  the  seven- 
teenth century,  a  "  Catechhmus  Manuscrtpius  "  is  actually  entered. 


xviii  Historical 

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- 

1  There  was  also  Greyson  or  Greson,  the  Provincial  of  the  Dominicans, 
who  ultimately  joined  the  Reformed  Church.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Council  of  1549,  and  his  name  is  found  on  a  copy  of  Helding's  Institutio,  now 
in  Aberdeen  University  Libraiy.

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

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.

Similar  Passages  in  Earlier  Treatises. 

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.

licse  ecclesiae  diffinitione  in  spiritu 
sancto  prodita  sunt,  pro  compertis- 
simis  habent. — Cologne  Enchiridion. 

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.

to  signifie  and  betakin  grace  but  also 
to  cleinge  and  sanctifie  our  saulis. 
— Fol.  12  2. 

The  vertew  of  penance  is  conversion 
and  turning  of  a  man's  hart  to  God 
fra  all  his  synnis,  with  an  inwart 
sorrow,  greif  or  displesure,  with  ane 
hatrent  and  detestatioun  of  the  same.  .  . 
Secundlie  we  mone  have  ane  gret 
desire  to  be  clengit  and  delivirit  fra 
our  synnis  and  to  get  agane  the  grace 
and  favour  of  God. — -Fol.  ]  50. 


The  sacrament  of  penance  is 
properly  the  absolutioun  pronuncit  be 
the  preist  upon  sic  men  and  wemen  as 
ar  penitent  for  yair  synnis  and  sa 
makis  ane  knawledge  and  schawis 
thameself  to  be  penitent. — Fol.  151. 

Finally  it  is  to  be  remembrit  that 
nochtwithstanding  this  way  afore 
declarit  is  the  ordinarie  waie  and 
remeid  for  penitent  synnaris  to  get 
remissioun  of  thair  synnis  and  to  be 
reconsalit  to  the  favour  of  God,  zit 
in  case  yat  yai  want  a  ministar  to 
heir  thair  confessioun  and  pronunce 
the  wordis  of  absolutioun,  or  in  tyme 
of  necessitie  quhen  a  synner  hes  nocht 
sufficient  laser  or  opportunitie  to  mak 
his  confessioun  and  to  do  the  worth  i 
fruitis  of  penance,  than  trewly  God 
will  accept  his  gud  will  for  ye  dede. 
.  .  .  The  theif  that  hung  on  the 
cross  askit  mercy  with  ane  contrite 
hart,  and  incontinent  he  was  maid 
ane  cietesene  of  paradyse,  and  quhair 
as  he  had  deservit  condemnatioun,  his 
contrite  hart  with  trew  faith  in  Christ 
changit  his  payn  into  martyrdome  and 


Nihil  aliud  est  quam  conversio 
hominis  ad  Deum  .  .  .  non  sine 
gravi  animi  dolore. — Enchiridion,  f. 
82. 

Penance  is  an  inward  sorrow  and 
grief  of  the  heart  for  the  sins  by  us 
done  and  committed,  and  an  hatred 
and  detestation  of  the  same,  with  an 
earnest  desire  to  be  purged  from  them 
and  to  recover  again  the  grace  and 
favour  of  God. 

The  sacrament  of  penance  is 
properly  the  absolution  pronounced 
by  the  priest  upon  such  as  be  penitent 
for  their  sins  and  so  do  knowledge 
and  show  themselves  to  be. — Henry 
Vlll.^s  Necessary  Doctrine. 

Finally  it  is  to  be  remembered  that 
notwithstanding  this  way  before  de- 
scribed is  the  ordinary  mean  for 
penitent  sinners  to  obtain  remission  of 
sins  and  to  be  reconciled  to  the  favour 
of  God,  yet  in  case  there  lack  a 
minister  to  pronounce  the  words  of 
absolution,  or  in  time  of  necessity 
when  a  sinner  hath  not  sufficient 
leisure  or  opportunity  to  do  the  works 
of  penance  before  declared,  if  he 
truly  repent  him  of  his  sinful  life,  and 
with  all  his  heart  purpose  through 
God's  grace  to  change  and  amend  the 
same,  he  shall  undoubtedly  have 
pardon  and  forgiveness  of  all  his  mis- 
doings. .  .  .  The  thief  that  hanged 
upon  the  cross  asked  mercy  with  a 
contrite  heart  and  forthwith  was 
made  a  citizen  of  paradise ;  and

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
