Episcopacy in the Mind of Robert Baillie, 1637-1662.
The covenanters are often considered to have been unrelenting opponents of episcopacy. In the Glasgow Assembly of 1638, when nearly all covenanters voted to 'remove and abjure' episcopacy in the kirk, the Glaswegian minister Robert Baillie was the sole named dissenter. Baillie's subsequent conformit...

In the Glasgow Assembly of 1638, when nearly all covenanters voted to 'remove and abjure' episcopacy in the kirk, the Glaswegian minister Robert Baillie was the sole named dissenter. Baillie's subsequent conformity to the covenanting regime after 1638 and his ultimate acceptance of the restored episcopate after 1661 have led historians to claim that he was pliantly obeying those in power. In order to offer an alternative explanation, this article explores the contours of Baillie's writings on episcopacy in the periods 1637-9 and 1658-62. His views were informed by hatred of the Laudian episcopate and his belief that scripture described a lawful form of episcopacy similar to the superintendents of the post-reformation kirk. Whilst Baillie protested against the restored episcopate in 1661, the reasons for his subsequent submission suggest one explanation as to why many presbyterian ministers acquiesced in Charles II's Erastian kirk settlement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Scottish Historical Review is the property of Edinburgh University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
