cipium non ignobile. in eo Franciscus Spera fuit, homo, cum
inter suos inprimis honestus ac locuples," &c. Speaking of
Scrimger's narrative, Coelius Secundus Curio says, in his Pre-
face : '' Alterius explicator & scriptor Henricus est natione
3cotus, homo doctus, disertus, grauis, (Sr quod ad historia scri-
bendam requiritur maxime fidelis, ^ bonus."
Scrimger left his library to his nephew, Peter Young, whose
brother, Alexander, brought it to Scotland. (Smith, Vita Petri
Junii, p. 4.) Buchanan, at Young's desire, offered his MS. to
Christ. Plantin to print. (Epist. xii. xiii.) Casaubon obtained
the use of his notes on Strabo, and applied for those on Poly-
Ijius, when he published his editions of these authors. (Casaub,
NOTES. 423
Epist. pp. 182, 306. edit. Aliuel.) He speaks very highly of
them in his letters to Young, but has been accused of not
duly acknowledging his obligations to them in his printed
Avorks. It appears from Casaubon's letters, that Scrimger was
allied to Henry Stephens by marriage. (Comp. Maittaire,
Stephan. Hist. pp. 238, 24-9.) A letter of Scrimger's is in-
serted in that work. (p. 239.) The following is the most par-
ticular account, that I have met with, of the ancient authors on
whom he left notes, and of the number of manuscripts of
each from which he collected his various readings.

Of a suppressed political tract n/Deza. — The following extract
from the records of the city of Geneva relates to this. " 30
dit (Juillet, 1573.) Livre de Monsieur de Beze defendu. Mon-
sieur de Beze aiant compose et fait imprimer un livre, intitule
De Jure Magistratuum, lequel aiant ete examine par les Seign^'s
Varro, Bernard et Reset, il fut trouve que ledit livre n'etoit
pas de saison, quoi qu'il ne contient rien que de vrai ; mais
parce qu'il auroit pu causer des troubles, on en suprima I'im-
pression de meme que les exemplaires qui en avoient ete deja
facts." {Recueil de diverses particularitez concernant Geneve,
p. 123. MS. Bibl. Jurid. Edin.)
Though suppressed by order of the senate, copies of this
work went abroad ; and it Avas frequently reprinted, in Latin
and French. The first edition is sometimes mentioned as print-
ed in 1573, and sometimes in 1574. (General Dictionary, Hist.
andCrit. vol. x. pp. 311, 327.) In 1576, it was printed in French
and in Latin. In 1578, a French edition appeared with the fol-
lovfing title : " Du droit des Magistrats sur leur subjets.
Traicte tres necessaire en ce temps, pour avertir de leur de-
voir tant les Magistrats que les subjets : piMie par ceux de
Magdebourgh Van m.d.l. : & maintenant reveu 8: augmcnte
des plusieurs raisons & examples." De Thou and Ba^de were
both deceived by the wqrds in Italics, and concluded that this
was merely a new edition, with additions, of a book pubhshed
in 1550. But these words were inserted by the publisher for
the purpose of concealment ; no such book was published in
1550; and this is merely another edition of the treatise De
jjure Magistratuum in subditos, et officio subditonim erga Ma
gistratus, originally printed at Geneva in 1573. (See the
Critique, on Bayle's Dissertation on the Book of St^phanus
NOTES. 425
Junius Brutus, by the Parisian Editor of his Dictionary, § xi.
XXXIII.) It is inserted in a collection of pohtical tracts by
Joan. Nicol Stupanus, Professor of Medicine at Basil, printed
at Montbelliard in 1599 ; and in a valuable historical work,
entitled " Memoires de I'Estat de France, sous Charles jx."
(torn. ii. pp. 483—522. Anno 1578.)
The learned are now agreed in ascribing the Vlndicice contra
tyrannos to Hubert Languet. But Beza was long suspected of
being the author of that work. The first writer, as far as I
know, ^^ ho named him as the author of the treatise Dc jure
Magistraiuum, v»as Sutclifte, in one of his controversial pieces
against the presbyterians. A different opinion was entertained
by others besides the defenders of Beza ; and John Beccaria,
who wrote a refutation of it in 1590, supposes it to be the pro-
duction of a lawyer, — " versatum in literis humanis, praesertim
historiis, atque si divinare licet leguleium, in divinis baud adeo
multum." (Refut. cujusdan Libelli, p. 9.) The extract which
I have given at the beginning of this note shews that Sutcliffe
was right in his conjecture.
This treatise is well written and well reasoned. The prin-
ciples which it maintains are the same with those of the F/«-
dicice : indeed Languet 's work is properly an enlargement of
Beza's. But the latter is more guarded than the former, both
in the questions which it agitates, and in the language which
it holds upon them. It is, however, far from being undecided
or evasive. The following propositions, among others, are
advanced and confirmed by reason. Scripture, and history :
That the authority of God only is absolute and unlimited ; that
when irreligious or unjust commands are laid on us we are not
merely to decline obeying them, but also to act in such a man-
ner as to discharge our duty to God and our neighbour ;
that every kind of resistance by subjects to their superiors is
not unlawful and seditious ; that rulers are created for the
people and not the people for rulers ; that a just resistance by
arms is not inconsistent with Christian patience and prayer ;
(*' I extol Christian patience as a distinguished virtue ; I de-
test sedition and every kind of confusion j I acknowledge that
426 NOTES.
prayer and repentance are proper remedies against tyranny,
when it is sent by God as a judgment and a scourge : but I
deny that, on this account, it is unlawful for a people oppress-
ed by manifest tyranny to use other just remedies along with
prayer and repentance.") that it is the duty of all to oppose
those who endeavour to usurp dominion over their fellow-
citizens ; that a usurper may become a lawful magistrate,
by obtaining the consent of the people; that resistance to ma-
gistrates does not necessanly imply their deposition ; that in-
ferior magistrates, though installed by the sovereign, do not de-
pend upon him but upon the sovereignty of the state, and that
they, and the estates or parliament of a nation, M^ho are appoint-
ed as a check on the supreme magistrate, may and ought to
restrain him when he violates the laws and becomes tyrannical ;
that all kings are bound, either by express or tacit agreement,
to rule justly and for the good of the people ; that the public
good and the rights of the people are paramount to those oi*
any individual, hoAvever exalted ; that though private persons
are not warranted in any ordinary case to resist rulers by force,
yet they may apply to inferior magistrates for redress, and
concur with the estates of a kingdom in imposing restraints
upon tyrants, or in emancipating themselves from the yoke
of tyranny ; and that although religion is not to be planted or
propagated by arms or force, yet when the true religion has
been estabhshed in any nation by public authority, or when the
liberty of professing it has been obtained, it is lawful to main-
tain and defend it by force against manifest tyranny, and so
nuich the more because what relates to conscience and the souls
of men is of greater importance than mere secular concerns,

Distinguished persons educated at the University of Glasgotv.
— Bishop Elphingston s name is in the list of those who were
incorporated in 1551, at the first opening of the university.
It is written simply " Will"^ Elphinstoun," from which it is pro-
table that he entered as a student, and bad then no title or
office in the church.

Manderston, Scotigena, Licent. in Medic. Rector universi-
tatis Parisiensis. (Bulaeus.) — Wilelmus Manderston, doctor in
Medicina, Rector de Gogar, Rector of the University of St
Andrews, anno 1530. He is the author of the following work :
" Bipartitum in Morali Philosophia opusculu ex vafiis autori-
bus per magistrum Guiilelmu Maderston Scotu nuperrime
collectu : Et pro secundo impressione cum nouis additionibus
ab eodem appositis recusum. — Vaenundantur in aedibus Gor-
montianis." It is dedicated by the author '' reueredo in
christo patri & domino : domino Jacobo Beton : sancti Andree
archipresuli : ac totius Scotie primati & cancellario suoq me-
cenati." Prefixed to it are a copy of Latin verses by William
Grayme of Fintree, and an epistle in prose with the inscription,
*' Robertus Gra. medicinae amator praeceptori suo vilelmo
Mandersto apollonie artis professor! peritissimo." The golo-

The first edition of this book was printed " Parrhisijs 1518,"
in 4to. at the same press. The Colophon states that it was
*' nuperrime collectii duni regeret Parisius in famatissimo diuac
Barbaras gymnasio," a. d. 1518. 14 kal. April* The work itself
is very jejune. There is an earlier book by Manderston,. which
I have not seen : " Tripartitum epithoma doctrinale & com-

Extracts respecting Major and Knox have been given from
the records in Life of John Knox, vol. ii. pp. 465 — 467. 4th
edit. — In 1514. we find " Dauid Melwyn principalem regentem
Glas." Melville went to St Andrews, and from 1517 to 1520
he is frequently mentioned in the records of that university,
under the designation " Dauid Maillwill Regentem Principalem
Pedagogii Sanctiandreae."
" John Ade sacre theologie professor" is mentioned in the
registers of Glasgow, 29 March 1521 ; and on the 23 March
1521, (i. e. 1522,) John Ade, professor of theology, and pro-
vincial of the order of predicant friars, or Dominicans, presided
at a theological lecture and disputation in the university.
Hector Boece informs us, that he was the first person who re-
ceived the degree of Doctor of Divinity at the newly erected
University of Aberdeen ; and that as provincial of the Domi-
nicans he introduced a salutary reform into that religious or-
der. (Vitae Episcop. Aberd. & Murth. See also Milne's Hist.
of Bishops of Dunkeld.) In 1506, Robert Park, prior of the
predicant friars at Perth, gives a charter " cum consensu & as-
sensu rev. patris David Andreae prioris provincialis ejusdem
ordinis in regno Scotiae." — August 20. 1517 " Ro. Lile prior fr.
