6! 2 CAL 
referable a convocation ; and being oppofed by Dr. Whit- 
ford and Dr. Hamilton, who were friends to the billiops, 
he took his leave of them in thefe \Vords: “ It is abfurd 
to fee men fitting in fiIks and fattins, and to cry poverty 
in the kirk, when purity is departing.” The parliament 
proceeded meanwhile in the difpatch of bulinefs ; and 
Calderwood, with fevera! otlier minifters, being informed 
that a bill was depending to empower the king to confi- 
-der and conclude, as to matters decent for the external 
policy of the church, not repugnant to the word ot God ; 
and that fuch conclufioris Chou Id have t he ftrength and 
power of ecclefiaflical laws : again ft this they protefled 
for four reafons. i. Becaufe their church was fo perfedt, 
that, inftead of needing reformation, it might be a pattern 
to others. 2. General alfemblies, as now eftablilhed by 
law, and which ought always to continue, might by this 
means be overthrown. 3. Becaufe it might be a means 
of creating fchifm, and dillurb the tranquillity of the 
church. 4. Becaufe they had received aflurances, that no 
attempts fhould be made to bring them to a conformity 
with the church of England. They defired therefore that, 
for thefe and other reafons, all thoughts of palling any 
fuch law may be laid afide ; but in cafe this be not done, 
they proteft, for themfelves and their brethren who fliall 
adhere to them, that they can yield no obedience to this 
law when it fliall be enadted, becaufe it is deftructive of 
the liberty of the church ; and therefore fliall fubmit to 
fuch penalties, and think themfelves obliged to undergo 
fuch pimifhments, as may be inflidted for difobeying that 
law. This proteft was ligned by Archibald Simplon, on 
behalf of the members, who fubferibed another feparate 
roll, which he kept for his jollification. It was delivered 
to Peter Hewet, who had a feat in parliament, in order to 
be prefented ; and another copy remained in Sitnpfon’s 
hands, to he prefented in cafe of any accident happening 
to the other. The affair making a great noife, Dr. Spotf- 
wood, archbifhop of St. Andrew’s, alked a fight of the 
proteft from Hewet, one day at court; and, upon fome 
difpute between them, it was torn. The other copy was 
actually prefented by Simpfon to the clerk regifter, who 
refuted to read it before the ftates in parliament. How¬ 
ever, the proteft, though not read, had its effedt; for, 
although the bill had the confent of parliament, yet the 
king thought fit to catife it to be laid afide ; and not long 
after called a general alfembly at St. Andrew's. Soon af¬ 
ter, the parliament was dilfolved, and Simpfon was fum- 
moned before the high commiflion court, where the roll 
of names, which he had kept for his jollification, was de¬ 
manded from him ; and, upon his declaring that he had 
given it to Harrifon, who had fmee delivered it to Calder¬ 
wood, he was fent prifoner to the caftle of Edinburgh, and 
Calderwood was fummoned to appear before the high 
commiffion court at St. Andrew’s, on the 8th of July fol¬ 
lowing, to exhibit the (aid proteft, and to anfwer for his 
mutinous and feditious behaviour. July 12, the king 
came to that city in perfon, and foon after Hewet and 
Simpfon were deprived and imprifoned. After this, Cal- 
derwood was called upon, and, refilling to comply with 
what the king in perfon required of him, James committed 
him to prifon ; and afterwards the privy-council diredled 
him to banifh himfelf out of the king’s dominions before 
Michaelmas following, and not to return without licence; 
and, upon giving feenrity for this purpofe, he was fuff'ered 
to return to his parifti, but forbid to preach. Having ap¬ 
plied to the king for a prorogation of his fentence with¬ 
out fttccefs, becaufe he would neither acknowledge his 
offence nor promife conformity for the future, he retired 
to Holland. In 1623, he publifhed his celebrated trea- 
tife, “ Altare Damafcenum, feu eccleftre Anglicanae po- 
litia, ecclefite Sceticanat obtrufa i formal ilia quodam de- 
lineata; illuftrata et ex'aminata.” Calderwood having, in 
1624, been afflicted with a long fit of fioknefs, and no¬ 
thing having been heard of him for fome time, one Patrick 
Scot (as Calderwood himfelf informs us) took it for granted 
he was dead ; and thereupon wrote a recantation in his 
CAL 
name, as Tf before his deceafe he had changed ins fenti- 
ments. This impofture being detected, Scot went over 
to Holland, and ftaid three weeks at Amfterdam, where 
he made diligent fearch for the author of Altare Damaf¬ 
cenum, with a defign, as Calderwood believed, to have 
difpatched him: but Calderwood had private! v returned 
into his own country, where he remained for fevera] years. 
Scot gave out that the king furnifhed him with matter for 
the pretended recantation, and that he only put it in or¬ 
der. During his retirement, Calderwood collecfcd all the 
memorials relating to the ecclefiaflical affairs of Scotland, 
from the beginning of the reformation there, d.own to the 
death of king James: which, collection is ftill preferved. 
in the univerfity' library at Glafgow ; but we find nothing" 
laid any where about his death. That he was.a man of 
quick parts and found learning is evident from his pro- 
dudlions, which are highly valued by the beft writers on 
the fide of nonconformity.

Boiling in caldrons (caldariis decoquere) was a capital 
punifliment, fpoken of in the middle-age writers, decreed 
to divers forts of criminals, but chiefly to debafers of the 
coin. One of the torments inflidted on the ancient (Dhriftian 
martyrs, was boiling in caldrons of water, oil, &c. 
CALDUEN'DO, a town of Spain, in the province of 
Guipufcoa : eight leagues eaft of Vittoria. 
CALD'VVALL (Richard), an Englifh phyfician, born 
in StafFordfhire about 1513. He was admitted into Bra- 
zen-nofe-college, Oxford, of which he was eledted fellow. 
When he took his degree of M. A. he entered upon phy- 
ftc, and became one ot the fenior ftudents of Chrift-church 
in 1547, which was a little after its laft foundation by 
Henry VIII. Afterwards he took the degrees in the fa¬ 
culty, and became fo highly efteemed for his learning and 
(kill, that he was examined, approved, admitted into, and 
eledted cenfor of, the college of phyficians at London, in 
the fame day. Six weeks after, he was chofen one of the 
eledts of the faid college, and in 1570 made prefident of 
it. Wood tells us, that he wrote feveral pieces uponfub- 
jedis relating to his profe(lion ; and mentions a book writ¬ 
ten by Horatio More, a Florentine phyfician, called, The 
Tables of Surgery, briefly comprehending the whole Art 
and Pradtice thereof; which Caldwall tranflated into Eng¬ 
lifh, and publifhed at London in 1585. We learn from 
Camden, that Caldwall founded a chirurgical lefture in 
the college of phyficians, and endowed it with a handfome 
falary. He died in 1585, and was buried at the church 
of St. Bennet, near Paul’s-wharf.
