It appears from the Records of the Kirk Session that the
ministers zealously co-operated with the magistrates. Decem-
ber 7. 1586, it was appointed that the provost, baillies, and
deacons of crafts, and ministers of Glasgow convene in the
college kirk to give their advice and judgement anent repair-
ing the High Kirk. Jan. 25. 1588. The session appoints
commissioners to the General Assembly to desire a commis-
sion with license to [[from ?]] the King's Majesty for reparation
of tlie High Church of Glasgow the best way the town and
parish of the same may. March 7. The Commissioners ap-
pointed by the King's Majesty anent repairing the High Kirk,
and hail brethren of the kirk session of Glasgow tliinks guid
that the laigh steeple be taken down to repair the mason work
of the said kirk, and that the bell and clock be transported to
the high steeple and that the kirk have a quinzee left at the
steeple foresaid for the relief thereof. {Could this be the or-
der which occasioned the riot referred to by Spotswood ? If
so, it happened ten years after Melville had left Glasgow.)
Aug. 1. The Session desire the Council to send Commissioners
to the Assembly, as for other things so to seek the Assembly's
assistance for obtaining at the King's hand and counsel money
for helping and upholding the parish kirk at Glasgow : or else
to get a new comnnssion to entertain the kirk with itself as it
may best. Dec. 29. 1603. The records mention a right iMr
David V\'eemes had made to him from the dean and chapter
of Glasgow to pursue the gentlemen in whose hands services of
money were laid by the said Dean and Chapter for repairing,
and beautifying and decoring the Metropolitan kirk of Glas-
gow. — The records abound with resolutions and orders to the
same eliect. (Extracts from Records of Kirk Session of Glas-

thian." (Register of To^\-n Council, Oct. 3. 1562.) In 1567,
Mr Alex. Sim was appointed one of the procurators for the
Church. (Cald. ii. 81.) He was aHve in 1573, when he was
appointed procurator, along with Edwart Henderson, to appear
for the College of St Leonards before the Lords of Counsel.
(Pap. of Univ. of St Andrews.)

Henryson's tirst work was a translation of a treatise of Plu-
tarch : *' Plutarchi Septem Sapientvm Convivivm," published
in " Moralivm Opvscvlorvm Plvtarchi Tonius Tertivs — apvd
Graphivm, Lvgdvni 1551." 12mo. The Dedication is inscrib-
ed, " D Hvldrico Fuggero Edvardvs Ilenriso S. P. D." A
copy of this book, belonging to the University of St Andrews,
has on the title-page the author's autograph, " Edward Hen-
r}'son," with a number of corrections of errors of the press by
the same pen. (This book has also the autograph of " G. Hay
rvthwen."' George Hay, sometimes called parson of Iluthven,
and at other times parson of Eddilston, was a brother of An-
drew Hay, parson of Renfrew, and for many years Rector of
the University of Glasgow. Cald. ii. 618, 619. An account
of his Answer to the Abbot of Crossraguel has been given
elsewhere. Life of Knox, ii. 311, 446. In April 1576,
" Certane brether appointit to oversie the booke wrytin be Mr
George Hay contra Tyrie." Buik of Univ. Kirk, p. 65.)

In 1555, Henryson published a defence of Baro against
Govea, on the subject of the distinction between magistratical
and judicial authority. ^' Edvardi Henrysonis Pro Eg. Barone
adversus A. Goveanvm de Jurisdictione Libri II. Parisiis 1555."
8vo. fol. 80. The Dedication. " Ad Huldrichum Fuggernm
Kirchbergi & Vveissenhorniae dominum," is dated "Biturigibus
quarto nonas Octob. An. do. m. d. liv. ' Re informs Fugger
that he had planned the work in his house — " in Michausa tua,"
and that he considered all his literary labours as due to him in
virtue of the pension which he had from him — " tibi tui sti-
pendij iure debentur." A copy of this work in the Advo-
cates Library has the following inscription in the author's hand-
writing : " D. Joanni Henrysoni Eduard Henryson author
amoris ergo D.D. postridie CaJend, No. 1553."



444 NOTES.

Thii5 work, as well as Henryson s Commentary on the title ot
the Institutes which treats of Testaynents^ was republished by
Meerman: Nevus Tliesaurus Juris Civilis et Canonici, torn. iii.
Meernian says the Comwent, de Testamentis ordinandi^, was
printed at Paris 1556, in 8vo. In the dedication of it to
Michael D'Hopital, dated from Boiirges, "7 Cal. Jul. 1555,**
Henrj^son says, that the second year of his teaching Civil Law
in that place was then running. His name, however, does not
occur in two published lists of the professors of that Universi-
ty. (Meerman, Nov. Thes. iii. Pra?fat. p. vii.)

The following note is written on a blank leaf of ^rrmw/ Ep?'c-
tdvsy Gr. in the Library of Edinburgh College. (A. T. a. 10.) It
must be in the handwriting of Henryson*s son. *' Fuit hie Doc-

rico Sanclaro dicatam non Ediderit Secuta Luctuosissima illi

tim postea tantorum \irorum lucubrationes Editas in Gallia
fuere." Some of the statements in this note are at least du-
bious. Henry Sinclair, bishop of Ross, did not die until Jan.
2. 1565. The translation of Arrian by Scheggius was publish-
ed in 1554. Henry son was with Fugger in 1551 ; and it is
not very probable that he was in Scotland during the following
year. — Dempster (Hist. Eccl. Scot. p. 350.) mentions a trans-
lation of ar>other work of Plutarch by Henryson : " Plutarchi
Commentarium Stoicorum Contrarioru. Lugduni, 1555."

In 1563 " Maisteris James Balfour persoun of flisk, Ed.
henrysoun, Clement littill aduocatis and robert Maitland,"
were established Commissaries of Edinburgh : Balfour had 400

merks, and the rest 300 merks each, for their " feis yierhe."
(Reg. of Privy Seal, vol, 32. fol. 79.) Henryson is known as
the editor of the Scots Acts of Parliament, which appeared m
1566. His name occurs in a Hst of Advocates, May 2t^. 1585.
(Papers of Hospital of Perth.) He was dead before March 10.
1591. (Inq. Ketorn. Edinburgh, num. 1414.) Several parti-
culars as to his family are mentioned in Maitland's History of
Edinburgh, p. 198. His talents and his patronage of science
are celebrated by John Rutherfurd. (De Arte Disserendi,
Prefat.)

Note T. p. 12.

Cff Archbishop Adamson Dr Mackenzie is oflPended at the

presbyterian historians for asserting that the Archbishop's name
was Patrick Constance, and that he was a minister of the church
of Scotland at the beginning of the Reformation. (Lives, Hi.
365.) That he was called Constyne, Constance, or Co?istantine,
is most unquestionable. Recommendatory verses by James
Lawson and Robert Pont are prefixed to " Catechismvs La-
tino Carmine redditvs — Patricii Adamsoni Scoti poetae ele-
gantissimae opera — Lekprevik, 1581 *." In his verses Pont
says :

Vidit Patricivs cum Constantinus opellae,
Admouitque maniun noster Adamsonivs.

The following is the title-page of the first edition of one of
Adamson's earliest works : '^ He Papistarvm Svperstiosis Inep-
tiis Patricij Adarasonij, Alias Constantini carmen. Matth. 15.
Omnis plantatio &c. Impressum Edinburgi per Robertum Lek-

haps thinking the alias discreditable to his father-in-law, omit-
ted the second name in his edition. It is unnecessary to

it to the young king, the author intbrras James- that he had composed it
with the view of assisting in his education.

produce other proofs. If any of the presbyterlan historians
have asserted that the archbishop changed his name, they are
mistaken ; for he inherited both designations from his ances-
tors. Dionysius Adamson or Constantino was Town Clerk of
Pertli toward the close of the fifteenth century. He is men-
tioned in thirteen cliarters from 1491 to 1500, and is some-
times designed Adaynson and sometimes Cojistantine. (Ex-
tracts from Registers of Births Szc. in Perth, by Rev. James
Scott ; now in the Library of the Advocates.) The writer of
Vita P. Adamsoniy subjoined to Melvlni Micsce, (p. 45.) says
the bishop was the son of Patrick Constan, a baker. Mr Scott
