reformation attained to in Scotland from 1638, to 1649, with all the
protestations, declarations, &c. given by the faithful since that

Bothwel, Airs-moss, &c. against God's stated enemies, and the enemies
of the gospel, and kingly government, as appointed and emitted in the
word of God, they entering covenant ways and with covenant
