The History Of The Troubles And Memorable Transactions In Scotland From The Year 1624 To 1645 PDF Download

Excerpt from The History of the Troubles and Memorable Transactions in Scotland, From 1624-1645 The period embraced by the narrative of spalding is one of the most eventful in the annals of our country. Lately emerging from the thraldom of Popery, our countrymen could have no friendly regard for those parts of our civil institutions that were designed to limit the rights which they believed inherent in man. As a natural consequence, a struggle commenced between those who wished to retain that dominion over the mind which ignorance alone will brook, and those who were anxious that our legislative polity should keep pace in liberality with the new ecclesiastical regime.
