[110] Mr. Alexander Hamilton, when a student at the college of
Edinburgh, at the hazard of his life, took down Mr. Guthrie's head and
buried it, after it had stood a spectacle for twenty seven years; and it
is observable that the very same person afterward succeeded him at
Stirling, where he was minister for twelve years.

[111] He was crowned on the 8th of June by Spotswood arch-bishop of St.
Andrews, assisted by the bishops of Rose and Murray, Laud then bishop of
London had the direction of the ceremony. He preached in the chapel
royal, and insisted upon the benefit of conformity, and the reverence
due to the ceremonies of the church &c. But this discourse was far from
being to the gust of the people. See Stevenson's history, Vol. I.
Bennet's memorial, page 178.

[119] His son James earl of Loudon suffered much after his father's
death, during the persecuting period; and at last was obliged to leave
his native country, and died an exile at Leyden, after having endured a
series of hardships. And there are recent instances of the truly noble
and independent spirit for liberty this worthy family have all along
retained, which, we doubt not, will be transmitted to their posterity.
