 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 1 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 whom 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 Scodand, 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 quae 
 leguntur animis auditorum vivaz 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 u 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, 1 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." 1 And with him Mr Lyon 2 
 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." l 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. 2 
 Principal Lee, of all our historians, takes the most un- 
 favourable view of the reputed author, and of the work 
 ascribed to him. 3 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 i 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." x 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 ." 2 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 baffling 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 fr\ends 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. 1 
 
 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 <c 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 delivered courses 
 of sermons, others drew up catechetical manuals 1 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 T546. 
 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 Enchiridion 
 Christians lnstitutionis 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 1 549 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 1542 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 pie tat em Chris tianam, which was appended 
 to the Constitutions of the Provincial Council of Mainz, 
 held in the year 1549, and was 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 Catho/icus, summam institutionis Chris- 
 tiana IIII. libris succinctim complectens. 
 
 Three of these manualsw T ere 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 1551 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 I have a copy 
 of the 1550 edition of the Constitutiones Concilit 
 Provincialis Moguntini, with the Institutio 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 1 547 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, u Opus- 
 culum Theologicum manuscript urn ejusdem primarii," 
 which may possibly have been some abridgement of the 
 above work, or of some later treatise of Hermann. 1 
 
 1 His later treatise " Of Reformation," composed with the assistance or 
 Bucer and Melanchthon met with the determined opposition of Gropper and 
 the canons, and ultimately led to his deprivation. Hermann was not himself 
 
xii Historical 
 
 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 may 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 princrly 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 his 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 Enchiridion, nor can the prayers in any 
 of the treatises I have consulted be regarded as the 
 source of those in the " Catechisme." 1 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, 2 and in their explanation of 
 
 1 Not even those in the Institution of a Christian Man. 
 
 - The arrangement they adopt in putting the exposition of the Ten Com- 
 
xiv Historical 
 
 " the sacrament of penance," two or three from King 
 Henry VIII.'s ll 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 transubstantiation 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 Enchiridion} 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

 some of the controverted points, but they make a significant omission on this 
 topic.

 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 Eficbiridion. 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 1 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 
 
 1 In a MS. catalogue of the books in the library in the end of the seven- 
 teenth century, a " Catechismus Manuscriplus " is actually entered.

 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. 1 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 Ing/is" 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 Institution now 
 in Aberdeen University Library.

 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. 1 His first assault 
 against heretics was based on the same ground as that of 
 Henry VIII., 2 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."

 " A great part of the book," as Dr M'Crie says, is 
 occupied M 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 
 mediaeval 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 u sensible sign, token, and mark of grace, which it 
 contains and signifies" — u 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 of 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 they teach 
 that he " tholit passion to make satisfaction and mendis 
 for all our sinnis that has a true and leivand faith in 
 him!" 1 Very singular is the translation given of ) 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 ane 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 " lippening," 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 alwayis 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 otherwise 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 ctzlis, may 
 nocht be said bot to God only." " 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 desy re fra 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. 1 (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. xxv 
 
 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. —

 the wicked and naughty Christian 
 people, which confess God as St 
 Paul says in their mouth, but deny

 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.

 In ecclesia . . . sancta Catholica 
 et Apostolica, in Spiritu Christi con- 
 gregate, est remissio peccatorum per 
 baptismum et post baptismum per 
 penitentiam et claves ecclesiae datas. 
 Baptismus quidem extra ecclesiam 
 esse potest apud hereticos, baptisantes 
 in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus 
 sancti ; sed prodesse non potest ad 
 remissionem peccatorum nisi baptizatus 
 ante finem vitae suae redditus et incor- 
 porate fuerit. — Enchiridion, f. 30. 
 
 At si post baptismum in peccata 
 quamvis gravia et crebra ceciderimus, 
 superest secunda post naufragiam 
 tabula nempe penitentia per quam 
 lapsis in virtute sanguinis Christi 
 donatur remissio peccatorum, minis-

 traditarum, Tibi dabo, &c. — Enchiri-

 Hinc facile sit 'discernere sacra- 
 menta veteris legis a sacramentis novae 
 legis. Ilia enim umbra futurorum 
 fuerunt, ut significarent, quae cum suo 
 adventu Christus implevisset, ablata 
 iunt, et ideo ablata quia impleta. 
 Hasc vero instituta sunt, virtute majora, 
 utilitate meliora, actu faciliora, numero 
 pauciora ; ut non tantum significarent, 
 sed et mundarent et sanctificarent. —

 ar of greter vertew, to us mair profit- 
 able, easier to be kepit and observit, 
 fewar in nowmer, nocht only ordanit 
 to signifie and betakin grace but also 
 to cleinge and sanctifie our saulis. 
 — Fol. 122. 
 
 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. 1 5 1. 
 
 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 worthi 
 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.

 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 
 Villus 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 
 whereas he deserved pain and punish-

 say God of his gret mercy acceptit his

 diligite inimicos vestros, benefacite his qui oderunt 
 vos, et orate pro persequentibus et calumniantibus 
 vos, vt litis filii patris vestri qui in ccelis est, qui folem 
 fuum oriri facit, super bonos et malos, et pluit super 
 justos et injustos. Si enim diligitis eos qui vos di- 
 ligunt, quam mercedem habebitis ? Nonne et publi- 
 cani hoc faciunt ? Et si salutaueritis fratres vestros tan-

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, 2Qth 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 2 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 Tiva-penny Faith* 
 This, name it is said, " was derived from Archbishop 
 
 1 See Wilkins's Concilia, vol. iv., p. 72, Art. 16. "Circa editionem et publica- 
 tionem Catechismi, in gratiam virorum Ecclesiasticorum curam animarum 
 gerentium." The prohibition of allowing any of the multa exemplar'ia to come 
 into the 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 Dominicis et festivis dlebus. (Historical 
 Memorials concerning the Provincial Councils of the Scottish Clergy.) 
 
 2 Spottiswood's History, vol. i., p. 182. Keith's History, vol. i., pp. 5, 1 49. 
 
 3 Knox's Works, vol. i., p. 291. Calderwood's History, vol. i., p. 423. 
 
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 quadam 
 catholics exhortationes et succinct^ 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,'' w^hich 
 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 ministratioun of the Sacramentis, 
 in the Inglis toung." 1 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- 
 burgh A.D. 1559," it is published by Dr Wilkins in his 
 great work, " Concilia Magna? Britannia? et Hiberniae," 2 
 and by Dr Joseph Robertson, in his " Statuta Ecclesise 
 Scoticanae." 3
