KEPOET OF THE MEETINGS FOR 1898 277 



It appeared that in 1654, when Mr Andrew Rutherford was 

 appointed minister, the Committee forbade any one to disturb 

 him in his parish, provided he did not revile the government 

 or keep the people disaffected by praying or preaching against 

 it. Still stronger measures had to be taken to fortify his 

 position. So government prohibited Mr John Jameson, the 

 former minister, from preaching in the parish at all, because 

 ' he had taken a libertie to renew the memorie of Charles 

 Stewart to his auditors, to stir up their affection to him.' 



Mr J. Ferguson, Duns, exhibited a small volume containing 

 two thanksgiving sermons, preached by Mr Jameson at the 

 Eestoration. It was entitled : — 



Rebellio Debellata 



et 

 Scotia Rediviva 

 or 

 The Downfall of Rebellion 

 and Scotland's Resurrection 

 As it was Represented in Two 

 Sermons 

 The one at Eccles last of May, the other 

 preached at Jedburgh June 27, 1660, 

 Being both dayes set apart for Solemn 

 Rejoycing and Publike Thanksgiving, for the 

 happy Restauratiou of the King's most 

 excellent Majesty to the exercise of 

 His Royall Power. 



By Jo. Jameson, Minister at Eccles.
