he presbyterie as if
the abstaining from this should have been a needless separatione
upon his part, and the part of his people, though that having found
that some took offence at it, he did no more countenance that man's

Nottingham and the Earl of Stanford preached in the High church of
Edinburgh on Sunday the 27th of February, 1648. Mr. Stephen Marshall
not long after, at the request of Mr. George Gillespie one of the
ministers of Edinburgh, preached in the same church, "he," says
Bishop Guthry "who being here four years ago professed to be a
presbyterian, but since turned independent."--(Memoirs of Bishop
Guthry, &c., pp. 256-258, second edition). Fuller however says of
