(3) They were liable to be called to account by the. General Assembly, which was composed only of ordinary ministers and elders. In point of fact, the superintendents were not very useful or successful, but the plan was one that seemed very reasonable for setting the new ecclesiastical machinery in motion.1Schools and Universities. -- Probably the ablest division of the Book of Discipline is chap, vii., entitled " Of Schools and Universities," a section which is of special value at the present time for its sound theory of middle or grammar schools : " Of necessitie, therefore, we judge it that every several kirk have one schoolmaster appointed, such a one at least that is able to teach grammar and the Latin tongue, if the town be of any reputation. If it be upland where the people convene to the doctrine but once in theweek, then must either the reader or the minister there appointed take care of the children and youth of the parish, to instruct them in the first rudiments, especially in the Catechisme, as we have it now translated in the Booke of the Common Order, called the Order of Geneva. And furder, we think it expedient that in every notable town, and especially in the town of the superintendent, there be erected a colledge in which the arts, at least logick and rhetorick, together with the tongues, be read by sufficient masters, for whom honest stipends must be appointed: as also that provision be made for those that be poore and not able by themselves nor by their friends to be sustained at letters, and in speciall these that come from landward."

Report was duly made to them by their commissioners of the result of their visit to Lochleven, and the documents bearing the royal signature, and conveying Mary's resignation of her crown in favour of her son, were laid before Fraudulent them. These, however, were not yet sealed, andsealing of . Jj£e writs Thomas Sinclair, the loyal keeper of the privy tion- seal, stoutly refused to affix it as long as the queen was kept in ward. He only yielded at last to the violence of Lindsay, protesting at the same time that he was not a free agent. The warrant presented to him, requiring him to seal the deeds, bore the royal signature, but there is no evidence that Mary had ever subscribed it.CORONATION OF JAMES VI. 145It was in all probability a forgery.1 The nobles at once proceeded to draw up and sign a bond or agreement, embodying the act of abdication, and containing an engagement to crown the infant prince at Stirling, and to maintain his rights as lawful king.2 How little this new revolution was the work of the Scottish nation at large is sufficiently shown by the fact that the bond originally bore the signatures only of Morton, Athole, Hume, Sanquhar, and Ruthven. It was not until several months later that this scanty list of subscribers was supplemented by some two hundred additional names.Preparations were at once made for the ceremony of coronation, which the lords, by a refinement of malice, fixed to take place on the 29th of July, the ann... ...
