To no order of men has Presbyterian zeal been so unjust as to the monks of Scotland. Upon those of the earlier ages, the spiritual sons and successors of St. Columba, it has Heaped eulogies which they would have considered a disgrace, while the pious recluses of later times have been assailed by it with underserved reproaches. The former, we are told, free and independent, enjoyed themselves and communicated to others in ancient days, the pure light of Presbyterianism, whereas the latter, yielding to the encroachments of Rome, sank gradually into the lowest abyss of "popish error and idolatry." Were any credit due to Sir James Dalrymple's "Collection, " and the ponderous quarto of Dr. Jamieson, it would appear that the creed as well as the "form of government of the Culdess bore a striking resemblance to the preby-terian form." Unfortunately, however, for the Scottish Church, her great virtues could not protect her against her wealthier and more worldly Anglican sister, whose corruptions and errors were introduced into Scotland by its "anglicized" kings and nobles.
