87 [Mr. Robert Macward went to England as the secretary, or amanuensis,
of the famous Samuel Rutherford, when the latter was appointed one
of the commissioners to the Westminster Assembly (Murray's Life of
Rutherford, p. 233). When mentioning Macward's institution, as
Professor of Humanity in the old college of St. Andrews, in April,
1650, Lamond says of him, that he was previously "servant to Mr. Sam
Rutherford, m. of St. Andrews" (Diary, p. 16, Edin. 1830). Sir John
Chiesley was, in the same sense, and at the same period, the servant
of the celebrated Alexander Henderson, another of the commissioners
(Kirkton's Hist. of the Ch. of Scot., _note_, p. 71). It is justly
remarked by Dr. M'Crie, when speaking of Richard Bannatyne, who was
also called _the servant_ of Knox, "that the word servant, or
servitor, was then used with greater latitude than it is now, and,
in old writings, often signifies the person whom we call by the more
honourable name of clerk, secretary, or man-of-business" (Life of
Knox, p. 349. _Sixth edition_). Mr. Macward succeeded Mr. Andrew
Gray as one of the ministers of Glasgow, in the year 1656, chiefly
through the influence of Principal Gillespie (Baillie's Letters,
vol. ii. pp. 406, 407. Cleland's Annals of Glasgow, vol. i. p. 128).
A sentence of banishment was unjustly passed upon him for a sermon
on Amos iii. 2, which he preached in the Tron Church, Glasgow, after
the Restoration. As to what he said in that sermon regarding the
conduct of the parliament, Baillie declares, that "all honest men
did concur with him," though he disapproves, at the same time, of
Macward's "high language," and blames him, because "he obstinately
stood to all," and thereby provoked his persecutors (Letters, pp.
453, 454). But it appears, from Wodrow (Hist. of the Sufferings of
the Ch. of Scot., vol. i. p. 213, Glasg. 1829), that when Mr.
