For Christ's Crown & Covenant!

Originally published at  Alexander Henderson on the original Covenanters’ respect for the King’s majesty | Reformed Covenanter :  As they have done and suffered much for vindicating and maintaining the liberty of their Religion, that what belongeth unto God may be rendered unto God; So do they desire, that according to the rule of righteousness, each man have his own, and above all men, That the things which are Caesar’s be rendered unto him, and to give him that which is God’s were a wronging both of God and Caesar .

Sketches of the Covenanters by J.C. McFeeters was originally published in 1913 and is now in the Public Domain.  This was one of the first books I read regarding the Scottish Covenanters and the killing times in Scotland. J.C. McFeeters captured my imagination as I could feel the tender love of the Covenanters for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while picturing the mossy moors, hillsides and caves where these brave, noble followers of Christ were forced to hide in order to worship God according to their conscience. This book presents a touching and historical picture of a cruel period in history when King Charles I betrayed Scotland's trust and tried to exert himself as king over both state and church. It covers both the political and religious aspects of freedom the Covenanters lived and died for. I encourage all students of the Bible and Church history to read it.

On the 3rd Sunday of July, 1637, a riot occurred in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh, and the roots of the riot lay in a church Service in St Giles Cathedral, that ancient building that stands majestically on the Royal Mile. Charles I was the second of the Stuart kings to straddle the thrones of England and Scotland, having ascended to the throne after his father, James 1st of England and 6th of Scotland. Charles was totally convinced that he was divinely appointed, to rule not just the nation, but to rule the church. He had a problem. In Scotland, although the populace were generally supportive of the monarchy, the influence of John Knox and the Pres
