class, the other regent might form those that had been kept back, and
qualified newcomers with them, into a properly sequent first class;
and so the routine would be established. The advice was adopted;
and, on Rollock’s recommendation, the person chosen to be
Humanity teacher in the meantime, and second regent in regular
course, was a Mr. Duncan Nairne, a young man from Glasgow
University. Thus all was arranged; and the work of the first session of
the University of Edinburgh proceeded,—Rollock teaching his
“Bajans,” and Nairne following with the ragged troop whom he was
working up in Latin to fit them for the “Bajan” class of next year.
The “session” in each of the Scottish universities extended then
over ten, or even eleven, months of every year, i.e. from the
beginning of October to, or well into, August. The practice was for
the students, or a proportion of them, to reside within the University
walls; and, though this practice soon fell into disuse in Edinburgh, it
held good at first so far that at least some of the students were
boarded and lodged in some rough fashion within the College. The
original regulation also was that students should wear academic
costume; but against this regulation Edinburgh opinion seems from
the first to have set its face most determinedly. It was never really
obeyed.
The infant years of the University were years of trial and rough
usage. In the jars between the different political factions round the
young King, and struggling for the possession of him, the infant
institution was much shaken and disturbed. The Magistrates and
Town Council, however, did their best; and Rollock was persevering
and judicious. The severest interruption to his labours came in his
second session, or 1584–5. That session had been begun with good
prospects, the property of the College having been increased by a
royal grant, and by a collection of about 300 volumes bequeathed by
Mr. Clement Little to form the nucleus of a college library. Rollock
was proceeding, accordingly, with his second or semi class; and
Nairne, having worked up the laggards by this time, was teaching his
first class of Bajans. But in the course of the winter Edinburgh was
visited by that scourge, “The Plague,” of the frequency of the visits of
which in those times, and their paralysing effects on industry of all
kinds, no one can be aware who is not versed in the old annals of
English and Scottish cities. In May 1585, most of the students having
already dispersed, it was necessary to stop the session entirely. This
would not have mattered so much, had not the alarm of the Plague
continued into the following session. That session, the third in the
history of the University, ought to have begun in October 1585; at
which time, as Rollock would then have been carrying his students
into their third or bachelor class, and Nairne would have been
carrying his into their second or semi class, a third regent would have
had to be appointed, to undertake the new class of freshmen. But it
was not till February 1586, or four months after the proper beginning
of the session, that the College was reopened, and then it was
deemed best not to attempt a new Bajan class at all that year, but
simply to go on with the semies and bachelors. Even in this
arrangement there came a difficulty. Scarcely were the classes begun
when the promising young Mr. Duncan Nairne died, and, in order
that the semi class might be carried on at all, the Town Council had
to elect a professor in his room. They chose Mr. Charles Lumsden, a
young man who had been one of Rollock’s pupils at St. Andrews. The
services of this, the third regent or Professor of Philosophy in the
University, did not, however, outlast the remainder of the session in
which he had been appointed. A College professorship was not then a
post of such attraction that it could be thought strange that Mr.
Lumsden should resign it when, in the following October, he received
a call to be minister of Duddingston parish. By his resignation at that
moment, however, the College would have been left crippled, had not
two new regents been at once appointed. These new regents, chosen
by competitive trial out of six candidates, were Mr. Adam Colt and
Mr. Alexander Scrimgeour. The last of these, Scrimgeour, took
charge of the new class of entrants or Bajans; as there had been no
class of Bajans in the former year, the semi class was this year a
blank; the former pupils of Lumsden and Nairne, now in the third or
bachelor class, were entrusted to Mr. Colt; and Rollock himself,
proceeding with the pupils who had already been continuously in his
charge for three years, carried them through the last or magistrand
class.
In August 1587, six months after the execution of Queen Mary at
Fotheringay, the fourth session of Edinburgh University was brought
to a close by the first act of laureation or graduation in its annals.
Forty-seven of Rollock’s pupils, who had remained with him steadily
through the entire four years, were then made masters of arts,—a
larger number than was to be seen at any subsequent graduation for
more than half a century. The signatures of the forty-seven are still to
be seen in the preserved graduation-book, appended to a copy of that
Scottish Confession of the Reformed Faith to which it was the rule
that all graduates should swear everlasting fidelity. Several of the
names are those of persons afterwards of some note in Scotland. To
three of them is affixed in the graduation-book, in later handwriting,
the dreadful word Apostata, signifying that those three disciples of
Rollock afterwards apostatised from the Protestant religion.
Having thus followed Rollock through one complete cycle of his
regency or professorship in Arts, one would like to know something
as to the nature and methods of his teaching. On this head the
information is as follows:—He began, as we have seen, by testing his
students in the indispensable Latin. But, though ability to read
ordinary Latin authors, to write in Latin, and also to speak Latin in
some fashion and understand spoken Latin, were prerequisites to his
course, the business of that course itself included necessarily much
reading in particular Latin classics, whether for their matter or for
their style. Very soon in his first class, however, he attacked Greek,
teaching it from the grammar upwards, until easy Greek authors
could be read. Greek was continued, for its own sake, into the second
and third years of the course; but the chief business of those years,
and of the fourth, was “Philosophy,” as divided into Logic, Ethics,
and Physics. In each of these departments the philosophical teaching
consisted chiefly of expositions of Aristotle. Whether in the original
Greek, or, as is more probable, in Latin versions, Rollock, we are
expressly told, read Aristotle daily with his pupils, beginning with the
Organon Logicum, and then going through the Nicomachean Ethics
and the Physics. The Physics came probably in the last year, and in
this year also (for mathematics and physical science were then
usually delayed till the end) certain additions to Aristotle: to wit, the
principles of Arithmetic, a sketch of the Anatomy of the human body,
Astronomy as taught in the then standard treatise of Joannes a Sacro
Bosco De Sphæra, and finally Geography. Conceive the routine so
sketched; conceive the steady plodding on day after day, for some
hours every day, through four sessions of ten or eleven months each;
and conceive also the disputations in Latin among the students
themselves every Saturday, and the express catechisings of them in
religion on Sundays: and you will have an idea of what it was to be
under Rollock in the first years of the University of Edinburgh.
A still more minute account of what constituted the curriculum
of study in the Faculty of Arts during the first age of the University is
furnished by an abstract of the “Order of Discipline” in the
University, drawn up in the year 1628. One cannot be sure that in
every particular this “Order of Discipline” accords with what had
been the practice of Rollock; but, as the abstract professes to be
mainly a digest of rules and customs that had been already in force, it
probably describes substantially the scheme of teaching introduced
by Rollock and bequeathed by him to his successors. The scheme
may be tabulated thus:—
First Year: Latin, Greek, and the Elements of Logic—(1) Latin: Exercises in
turning English into Latin and in translation from Latin; with readings in Latin
authors, chiefly Cicero. There seems also to have been practice in Latin verse-
making. (2) Greek: The Greek Grammar of Clenardus; Readings in the New
Testament, in the Orations of Isocrates, and, for poetry, in Phocylides, Hesiod, and
Homer; also translation of Latin themes into Greek, and of Greek into Latin.
Passages of the Greek authors read were got by heart, and publicly recited on
Saturdays. (3) Logic: This was reserved till near the end of the session, and Ramus
was the author used.—There were disputations on Saturdays, and catechisings on
Sundays.
Second Year: Recapitulation of previous studies, with Rhetoric, Logic, and
Arithmetic—(1) Recapitulation: For the first month, with a final examination in
Greek. (2) Rhetoric: Talæus’s Rhetoric (a short and very flimsy compend on the
figures of speech, with instructions in delivery), and portions of other manuals,
such as Cassander’s Rhetoric and Aphthonius’s Progymnasmata (a collection of
specimens of Greek composition to illustrate various styles); also oratorical
exercises by the students themselves. (3) Logic: Perphyry’s Introduction to
Aristotle’s Organon, and then, in the Organon itself, the Categories, the Prior
Analytics, and portions of the Topics and the Sophistics. (4) Arithmetic: towards
the end of the session.—Disputations and declamations on Saturdays, and
catechisings on Sundays.
Third Year: Recapitulation of previous studies, with Hebrew Grammar,
Logic, Ethics, and Physical Science—(1) Recapitulation: This went back upon the
Greek, and included examinations in Rhetoric and in Logical Analysis. (2) Hebrew
Grammar: taught apparently from the beginning of the session. (3) Logic: The two
Books of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics. (4) Ethics: The first, second, half of the
third, and the fourth and fifth Books of Aristotle’s Ethics. (5) Physical Science:
Aristotle’s Acroamatics, taught partly textually, partly in compend, followed, at the
close of the session, by a descriptive sketch of Human Anatomy.—Disputations on
prescribed theses on Saturdays, and theological instruction on Sundays.
Fourth Year: Recapitulation of previous studies, with Astronomy,
Cosmography, and other portions of Physics, and Disputations and other
preparations for the Laureation. Among the books used in this year were the
Sphæra of Joannes a Sacro Bosco, the books of Aristotle De Cælo, De Ortu, De
Meteoris, and De Anima, and Hunter’s Cosmography. Atlases and the celestial
globe were also in requisition, and the most notable constellations were pointed
out in the heavens themselves. But much of the work of this session consisted in
logical disputations in the evenings, whether among the magistrands, or between
them and the third year’s men.—On Sundays, instruction in Dogmatic and
Polemical Theology.
To return to Rollock personally:—We have spoken of him
hitherto as only the first regent or Arts professor of Edinburgh
University. In reality, however, since February 1586, when he was in
his third session and had Nairne as his single fellow-regent, he had
borne, along with his regency, the higher dignity of the
Principalship,—the Town Council having concluded that the time
had come for the institution of such an office in the University, and
for Rollock’s promotion to it. Accordingly, when Rollock had the
satisfaction of seeing the forty-seven students who had gone through
their full four years’ curriculum with him made Masters of Arts, he
was not only senior Regent, but also Principal of the University, with
a right of superintendence over Colt and Scrimgeour, the other two
regents. But no sooner had this first Edinburgh graduation taken
place than there was a further change. Rollock, satisfied with having
taken one class of students through the full course of four years,
resigned his regency or Arts professorship, in order to become
Professor of Divinity. As it was desirable that those of the new
graduates and others who might be going forward to the Church
should have the means of a theological education within Edinburgh,
this was a natural arrangement. It amounted to the institution,
though on a small scale, of a Theological Faculty in the University, in
addition to the general Faculty of Arts or Philosophy. The
Theological Faculty was represented solely by Rollock, who was also
Principal of the University; while the Arts or Philosophical Faculty
was represented for the time in Colt, Scrimgeour, and a third regent,
Mr. Philip Hislop, one of Rollock’s recent graduates, appointed to the
place which Rollock had just left vacant. In 1589, however, Mr.
Charles Ferme, also one of Rollock’s graduates, was added to the
staff of regents, so as to complete the number of four, necessary for
the full conduct of the Arts classes.
No need to narrate here the rest of Rollock’s life in detail.
Enough if we imagine him going on for ten years more in the exercise
of the double duties of his Professorship of Theology and his
Principalship in the infant University. As Professor of Theology, he
may be said to have founded the Divinity School of Edinburgh. He
trained up assiduously, not only by his lectures on Dogmatic and
Polemical Theology, but also by his personal influence, the first
ecclesiastics whom the University of Edinburgh gave to the Kirk of
Scotland. Some of these attained subsequent distinction, and,
remembering Rollock with reverence, carried his name into the next
generation. Nor was his Principalship a sinecure. He visited the
Philosophy classes, gave special lectures to them on Theology, and
kept them and the regents to their work. Add to this much exertion
beyond the bounds of the University. For a time he delivered Sunday
evening sermons to crowded congregations in the East Kirk of St.
Giles, by way of volunteer assistance to the four city ministers; and,
latterly, when these four were increased to eight, and a division of
the city-pastorate was made into eight districts or parishes, the full
ministerial care of one of these city-charges was entrusted to Rollock.
It was an anxious time, too, in the politics of the Kirk. King James
had begun those efforts of his for the subversion of the Presbyterian
constitution of the Kirk, as it had been established by statute in 1592,
in which he was to persevere so unflinchingly through the remainder
of his resident reign in Scotland, though it was not till he removed to
England, and could act upon his native kingdom from the vantage-
ground of his acquired English sovereignty, that the results were
fully seen in the abolition of the Presbyterian constitution of the Kirk
altogether and the substitution of Episcopacy. Already in Rollock’s
time all Scotland was in anxious agitation in consequence of this
anti-presbyterian policy of the King and the vehement resistance to it
offered by the majority of the Scottish clergy and of the Scottish
people. Rollock himself, as a public man and leading Edinburgh
minister, had to take his part in the controversy. It was a mild part, it
would seem, and not entirely satisfactory to the more resolute
Presbyterian spirits, but truthful and characteristic. Without
following him, however, over this dangerous ground, farther than to
say that he was Moderator of the General Assembly held at Dundee
in 1597, at which the King was present in person and there were
some not unimportant attempts at a compromise, let us pass on to
the year 1599, the last year but one of the sixteenth century.
Rollock was then in his forty-fourth year. He could look back on
his services in connection with Edinburgh University as the most
important work of his life. He had seen fifteen sessions of that
University begun and ended, during four of which he had been senior
regent or Arts professor, and during the remaining eleven Principal
and Professor of Theology. He had seen eleven graduations and a
total of 284 Edinburgh Masters of Arts sent forth by these
graduations into the world. The University, it is true, remained still
but a fragment of what a complete university ought to have been. It
contained as yet no Faculty of Law and no Faculty of Medicine. For
education in these professions Scottish students had still to resort to
foreign universities, as indeed they had to do for more than a century
yet to come. But it was something to have established a Theological
Faculty and a Faculty of Arts. The Theological Faculty was still
represented entire in Rollock’s own person; but in the Arts Faculty,
on which the University depended most, he had seen thirteen regents
after himself appointed. The tenure of office of most of these had
been vexatiously short, drawn off as they had been by the more
tempting emoluments of parish-charges and the like; but the four
who were now in office as regents,—Mr. Henry Charteris, Mr.
Charles Ferme, Mr. John Adamson, and Mr. William Craig,—were all
graduates of the University itself, and therefore all Rollock’s own
men. Moreover, the Arts Faculty had just been increased by the
institution of a separate Professorship of Humanity, distinct from the
four rotating regencies. To this professorship, the first holder of
which was a certain excellent Mr. John Ray, fell a part of the work
that had formerly been assigned to the regents of the first and second
classes: viz. instruction mainly in Latin, but also in elementary Greek
and the rudiments of rhetoric. Such was the staff of Edinburgh
University as Rollock left it. Though yet but in the prime of
manhood, he had been long in ill-health, and was now suffering from
a painful and incurable disease. There are affectionate details of his
death-bed doings and sayings: how he sent messages to the King,
how the ministers and leading citizens of Edinburgh visited him,
what advices he gave them, what pious ejaculations he uttered, and
how, in especial, he spoke of the University of his love, and
recommended it to the care of those who had the power to promote
its interests. On the 9th of February 1599, the sixteenth session of the
University being then in progress, he breathed his last. There was a
great concourse of citizens of all ranks at his funeral, and all over
Scotland the rumour ran that the nation was poorer by the loss of the
eminent Rollock. Verses in Latin, Greek, and English, by old pupils
and others, were showered upon his grave. He left a widow, whom
the Magistrates and Town Council of Edinburgh pensioned; and a
daughter, posthumously born, was also provided for. In deference to
his dying injunctions, the Town Council appointed Mr. Henry
Charteris, his favourite pupil, and then one of the regents, to be his
successor in the principalship and in the professorship of Divinity.
Looked back upon now through the dense radiance of the
subsequent history of the University of Edinburgh, expanded as that
University has been in the course of centuries into its present four-
facultied completeness, each faculty of larger dimensions than
Rollock could ever have dreamt of, and each with its memories of
scores or hundreds of more or less shining celebrities that have
belonged to it in past generations, Rollock himself, it must be
admitted, dwindles into a mere telescopic star. That he is
remembered at all now is due mainly to the fact that he was the first
president of one of the most important institutions of the Scottish
nation, and charged with the affairs of that institution in its
struggling commencement, its “day of small things.” This in itself
would be something. Many men have merited well of society simply
because they have performed diligently the routine duties of the
office they chanced to hold, and so have woven something of their
own personality, though it may be hardly distinguishable afterwards,
into the context of passing affairs and exigencies. Is this all, however,
that we can say of Rollock? Not quite. Though the best of him is
probably imbedded in the beginnings of the University of Edinburgh,
and much of that even in the unrecorded beginnings, he has left
some memorials of himself besides. His writings, all or nearly all of a
theological nature, some published during his life, and others edited
after his death by admiring friends, are so considerable in bulk that
even the selection of them reprinted by the Wodrow Society fills two
thick volumes. The more important and formal of them were
dogmatic treatises or analytical Latin commentaries on portions of
Scripture, some of which were of sufficient ability, after their kind, to
have won recognition from Beza and other foreign theologians. More
interesting, however, now are the specimens that remain of Rollock’s
popular sermons in the vernacular English, or rather the vernacular
Scots, of his day. Two extracts from one of these sermons will enable
us to know Rollock somewhat more intimately, and will give an idea
at the same time of the tastes of the Edinburgh folks of those days in
the matter of pulpit oratory.
Understand that the text of the discourse is 2 Cor. v. 1, 2,
running thus in the old version then in use: “For we knaw that, gif
our earthly hous of this tabernacle be destroyit, we have a buylding
given of God; that is, a house nocht made with hands, bot eternall in
the heavens. For therefore we sigh, desiring to be clothed with our
hous whilk is from heaven.” The thoughts suggested by this text
being those of the evanescence of the present life and the aspiration
after another life of higher expansion, Rollock’s handling of them
takes this form:—
“The Apostle having spoken this, that his eye was set on that hevinly glory, it
micht have been said, ‘Thou settis thine eye upon ane life above; bot tak heid, Paul!
Thou sall die in the mean time; is not life and deith twa contrares? thou mon die,
and that body of thine mon be dissolvit. Luikis thou ever to rise again? thinkis thou
any other thing bot to be disappointed of life? Luikis thou that that body of thine,
being dissolvit in dust, sall rise again to glory?’ This is are fair tentatioun, and
sundry thinkis efter this maner.... Leirne ane lesson here. Ye see, while ane man is
luiking to hevin, he will not be without tentatioun,—nay, not Paul himself, nor nae
other man nor woman that hes their conversatioun in hevin. And the special
tentatioun of him wha wald fain have life is deith, and the dreidful sicht of deith;
and deith is ever in his eye. He was never born bot deith will tempt him, deith will
be terrible to flesh and blude; and, when he is luiking up to that licht and glory in
hevin, it will come in betwixt his eye and the sicht of hevin, as it were ane terrible
black cloud, and some time will twin [sunder] him and that licht of hevin. As, when
ane man is luiking up to the sun, ane cloud will come in on ane suddenty and tak
the sicht of the sun frae him, sae when ane man is luiking up to the Sun of
Richteousness, Christ Jesus, that cloud of deith will come in and cleik [catch] the
sicht of Christ frae him. This is our estate here, and there is nane acquainted with
hevinly things bot he will find this in experience as Paul did. But what is the
remedy? In the first word of the text that we have read he says ‘we knaw,’ that is,
‘we are assured’; for the word imparts ane full assurance, and faith, and are full
persuasion. Then the remedy aganis this tentatioun of deith is only faith, ane full
persuasion and licht in the mind of the knawledge of God in the face of Christ, with
ane gripping and apprehension thereof. This is the only remedy.”
“Thou mon have ane warrand of thy salvation in this life, or ellis I assure thee
in the name of God thou sall never get to hevin. It is ane strait way to come to
hevin, and it is wonder hard to get the assurance of it: it is nae small matter to get
ane assurance of life everlasting efter death. Then luik what warrandis this man
Paul had, that thou may preis to have the like. The first ground of his assurance is
in this second verse. ‘For,’ says he, ‘this cause we sigh, desiring to be clothed’ (to
put on as it were ane garment). Wherewith? ‘With our house whilk is frae hevin.’
Thir [these] are his wordis. Then his first warrand and ground of his assurance is
ane desire of that samin glory. What sort of desire? Ane earnest desire, with
siching and sobbing; not ane cauld desire, but day and nicht crying and sobbing for

‘God give me that hevinly life!’ Na, thou will be disappointed; it is the violent that

and wald fain heave that carcase of thine to hevin. The waters, the air, the hevinis,
all siching for that last deliverance, the glory apperteinis to thee; and yet thou is
lauchand. What sall betide thee?”
There is evidence here that Rollock cannot have been merely a
stiff scholastic and pedagogue, but was a man of some real, if
coarsish, fervour of heart, of whom it might be expected that he
would have the power on occasion of putting his hand on the
shoulders of any promising youth among his pupils, and doing him
good by some earnest words of moral and spiritual stimulus. On the
whole, however, the impression from the sermons and the other
writings is that he was by no means a man of such extraordinary
calibre intellectually as it was desirable, and perhaps possible, that
the University of Edinburgh should have had for its first regent and
principal, the shaper of its methods and its tendencies from the
outset. High forms of study and speculation were then asserting
themselves in the intellectual world of the British Islands, the
influence of which had never reached Rollock, or to which, in his
place and circumstances, he remained necessarily impervious. His
administration of the University could only be according to the lights
in which he had himself been educated, and which he brought with
him from St. Andrews. What if the Town Council of Edinburgh,
instead of sending to St. Andrews for Rollock to be the first head of
the new University, had invited their neighbour, Napier of
Merchiston, to the post? He was Rollock’s senior by five years, the
one man in all Scotland supremely fitted for the post; and, as he was
to outlive Rollock eighteen years, how different might have been the
infancy of the University had he been in Rollock’s place! But Napier
was a layman and a laird; and the heavens would have fallen on the
Edinburgh Town Council of 1583, as indeed they would have fallen
on any subsequent Edinburgh Town Council till 1858, if they had
thought of choosing any one but an ecclesiastic for the University
Principalship. Besides, it is possible that the Laird of Merchiston, a
man of many acres, and the owner and inhabitant of one of the finest
turreted mansions near Edinburgh, would have regarded the offer as
a joke.
It is in accordance with our estimate of Rollock all in all that,
though, among the students sent forth from the University of
Edinburgh during his Principalship, there were some who
distinguished themselves subsequently by their force and hard-
headedness in the routine affairs of the Scottish Kirk and State, we
do not find any among them whom the historian of the higher
thought and literature of Britain cares to remember now. Among the
284 Masters of Arts who left the University before Rollock died, the
most memorable are perhaps these: Henry Charteris and Patrick
Sands, pupils of Rollock’s own regency, and his successors in the
principalship; Alexander Gibson of Durie, afterwards a judge of the
Court of Session; James Sandilands, afterwards commissary of
Aberdeen; Thomas Hope, afterwards Sir Thomas Hope, and of
celebrity as a lawyer and as King’s Advocate; David Calderwood, the
Presbyterian historian of the Kirk; and Robert Boyd of Trochrig,
sometime minister in France, and afterwards Principal successively
of the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. To these may be
added, as memorable on another ground, John Ruthven, Earl of
Gowrie, and his brother Alexander Ruthven, the two young chiefs or
victims of the mysterious Gowrie conspiracy of 1600. The elder
brother, a favourite of Rollock’s, was a graduate of 1593, and the
younger graduated in 1598. Other names of some interest to the
Scottish literary antiquarian may be found in the list of the
Edinburgh graduates of Rollock’s time, but hardly one now
interesting to the general British muses. But, indeed, Scotland had
then entered on a period of her history during which the higher and
more meditative muses found themselves dismissed from her
territory for a while. Precisely at the time when the University of
Edinburgh was founded, the age of Scotland’s richest outburst in all
forms of a thoroughly native literature had come to an end,—closed,
we may say, by the deaths of Knox and Buchanan, save that in Napier
of Merchiston there was one peculiar survivor. From that date
onwards through the whole of the seventeenth century the energies
of Scotland were to be locked up all but continually and exclusively in
one protracted business of political and ecclesiastical controversy.
From that date, accordingly, the successive batches of graduates sent
forth from the four Scottish Universities,—or rather, we should now
say, from the five Scottish Universities, for the University of
Marischal College, Aberdeen, was added as a fifth in 1593,—were
absorbed, as clerics, lawyers, soldiers, and what not, into the service
of a troubled social element requiring labours that left little sap in
them for literary delights or for purely speculative exertions.
Exceptions, of course, there are; and the two most notable of these
belong to the University of Edinburgh. Drummond of Hawthornden
was a graduate of that University in 1605, six years after Rollock’s
death. Robert Leighton, so dear to Coleridge as one of the finest
Platonic spirits among the British theologians of the seventeenth
century, was an Edinburgh graduate of 1631, and was Rollock’s sixth
successor in the Principalship of the University, and known for ten
years in that capacity before they induced him to become Bishop and
Archbishop.
KING JAMES’S FAREWELL TO HOLYROOD[3]

It is a Saturday evening in Holyrood,—the evening of Saturday,


the 26th of March 1603. All is dull and sleepy within the Palace, the
King and Queen having retired after supper, and the lights in the
apartments now going out one by one. Suddenly, hark! what noise is
that without? There is first a battering at the gate, and then the
sound of a horse’s hoofs in the courtyard, and of a bustling of the
palace servants round some late arriver. It is the English Sir Robert
Cary, brother of Lord Hunsdon. He had left London between nine
and ten o’clock in the forenoon of the 24th; he had ridden as never
man rode before, spur and gallop, spur and gallop, all the way,
through that day and the next and the next, the two intervening
nights hardly excepted; and here he is at Holyrood on the evening of
the third day,—an incredible ride! His horse, the last he has been on,
is taken from him all a-foam; and he himself, his head bloody with a
wound received by a fall and a kick from the horse in the last portion
of his journey, makes his way staggeringly, under escort, into the
aroused King’s presence. Throwing himself on his knees before his
half-dressed Majesty, he can but pant out, in his fatigue and
excitement, these words in explanation of the cause of his being
there so unceremoniously: “Queen Elizabeth is dead, and your
Majesty is King of England.”
It was the most superb moment of King James’s life. He was in
the thirty-seventh year of his age, and had been King of Scotland for
nearly thirty-six years; but through the last twenty of these,—or, at
all events, ever since February 1586–7, when the captivity of his
mother came to its tragical close at Fotheringay,—his constant
thought had been of the chance he had of being one day King also of
England. Latterly the chance had grown into a probability; but it had
never become a certainty. Although, according to all ordinary legal
construction of the case, his hereditary claim to the English
succession was paramount, there were impediments in the way.
There were vehement objections to him on the part of large sections
of the English community; and that especial and official recognition
of his claims which might have gone far to overcome these
objections, or to neutralise them, had remained wanting. Queen
Elizabeth herself had, or was supposed to have, the right of
nominating her successor; but, though her relations to James
through the whole of his Scottish reign had been condescendingly
kindly,—though she had been in the habit of sending him letters of
semi-parental advice, and sometimes of rebuke, in his minority, and
had then and since shown her interest in him by allowing him a
regular annual pension of English money, of no great amount but
very welcome to him as a substantial supplement to his scanty
Scottish revenues,—she had always resisted his importunities in
what was with him the all-important matter of his succession to her
crown. Her declaration on that subject had been tantalisingly
postponed; and James had been obliged to content himself with
secret negotiations with such of her English statesmen and courtiers
as might be able to persuade her to some distinct decision in his
favour while there was yet time, or, if that should not be
accomplished, might have influence themselves in bringing about the
event which she had left undetermined. Such negotiations round the
imperious old queen, clinging to life and sovereignty as she did, and
regarding as little better than treason all speculation as to what
would be after her death, were necessarily perilous; but they had
been going on for some time, with the result that a party had been
formed in the English Court favourable to the succession of King
James, should circumstances make it possible. At the centre of this
party was Secretary Sir Robert Cecil, Elizabeth’s chief minister since
the death of his father, the great Lord Burleigh, in 1598.
Elizabeth died in her palace at Richmond, in the seventieth year
of her age, about three o’clock in the morning of Thursday the 24th
of March 1602 (so in the English reckoning, but in the Scottish it was
1603), after an illness of some days, during the first four of which she
lay in great pain on cushions, and partly delirious, refusing to go to
bed or to take any food. Her Councillors, Secretary Cecil and
Archbishop Whitgift among them, had been in attendance from the
first; and they had contrived, on the day before her death, while she
was lying speechless in the bed into which they had at last forced her,
to extract a sign from her which intimated her consent that James
should be her successor, or which they found it convenient to
construe to that effect. No sooner was she dead than there was a
meeting of the Council in an apartment near that in which the corpse
lay, to draft a proclamation of James as the new sovereign, and to
take other measures necessary in the crisis. Secrecy was essential for
a few hours; and, as the palace was full of people, including the
weeping court-ladies and others not of the Council, there were orders
that the gates should be shut, and that no one should be permitted
either to leave the palace or to enter it without special warrant.
One person managed to evade the order and get in. This was the
Sir Robert Cary of whom we have just heard. He was then a man of
about forty-three years of age, and well known at Court, both from
his high family connections and on his own account. His father, the
late Lord Hunsdon, had been distinguished among Elizabeth’s
councillors by being related to her by cousinship; his brother, the
present Lord Hunsdon, was now of the Council; and a sister of his,
Lady Scroope, was one of the Queen’s ladies-in-waiting. His own
services in the Queen’s employment had been very various and had
extended over many years. Among diplomatic missions on which she
had sent him in his youth had been several to King James in
Scotland; and latterly he had been in charge of one of the English
wardenships on the Scottish Borders, and conspicuous for his vigour
in the garrisoned defence of those northern parts of England against
the cattle-lifting raids of their rough Scottish neighbours. While in
this post, he had incurred the Queen’s disfavour by marrying,—a
fault which she always resented in any of her courtiers; and for a
while she had refused to see him or speak with him. He had
contrived, however, to pacify her in a skilfully obtained interview;
and that cloud had blown over. Hence, having come south on
furlough from his wardenship just about the time when the Queen
was seized with her fatal illness, and having taken lodgings in
Richmond to await the issue, he had been admitted easily enough
into the dying Queen’s presence. “When I came to Court,” he tells us,
“I found the Queen ill-disposed, and she kept her inner lodging; yet
she, hearing of my arrival, sent for me. I found her in one of her
withdrawing chambers, sitting low upon her cushions. She called me
to her. I kissed her hand, and told her it was my chiefest happiness to
see her in safety, and in health, which I wished might long continue.
She took me by the hand, and wrung it hard, and said ‘No, Robin, I
am not well,’ and then discoursed with me of her indisposition, and
that her heart had been sad and heavy for ten or twelve days; and in
her discourse she fetched not so few as forty or fifty great sighs. I was
grieved at the first to see her in this plight; for in all my lifetime
before I never knew her fetch a sigh, but when the Queen of Scots
was beheaded.” This interview was on the night of Saturday, the 19th
of March; and it was within the next day or two that, learning from
his sister that the Queen had become worse and worse, and that
there was no hope of her recovery, and remembering his friendly
intercourse with the Scottish King on former occasions, he
despatched a letter to James announcing the condition of affairs at
Richmond, and resolved moreover that, when the Queen was actually
dead, he would be himself the first man to carry the great news to
Edinburgh. Once again he was in the death-chamber. It was on the
day before the Queen’s death,—that Wednesday, the 23d of March,
on which, lying speechless in bed, she gave the sign which Cecil and
the other councillors construed as they desired. Among those who
stood by her bedside on the evening of that day, while Archbishop
Whitgift prayed with her several times in succession, was Sir Robert
Cary. It was late, he tells us, when the group broke up, and the Queen
was left to die, with only her waiting-women around her. Sir Robert
had then gone to his lodgings in the town, and had given instructions
that he should be called at the proper moment. Accordingly, about
three o’clock on the following morning, when he knew for certain
that the Queen was dead, he was at the palace gate. The porter had
just received his orders not to admit any one that was not privileged;
and even the bribe with which Sir Robert had already primed that
official would not have been enough, had not one of the councillors,
who chanced to be at the gate at the time, taken the responsibility of
passing him in. He made his way through the chamber in which the
weeping ladies were to that in which the councillors were assembled
and were drafting their documents. His brother, Lord Hunsdon, and
his sister, Lady Scroope, being already in his confidence, and his
purpose having been guessed by Cecil and the rest, he found that
they were very angry with him, and were making arrangements of
their own for the necessary despatches to Edinburgh. In fact, they
laid hold of him, told him he must remain where he was till their
pleasure should be known, and, to show that they were in earnest,
sent peremptory fresh orders to the porter that no one was to be
allowed to pass the gates except the servants that were to be sent
presently to get ready the coaches and horses for the conveyance of
the councillors themselves to Westminster. For an hour or so, Sir
Robert walked about in the palace chagrined and disconcerted. He
had got in with difficulty; but his exit seemed impossible. Bethinking
himself at last, he went to the private chamber of his brother, Lord
Hunsdon. His lordship, overpowered with the fatigues of the
preceding days, was asleep, but was soon roused, and willing to
assist. The two went together to the porter’s gate, where the Council’s
servants were just making their egress to bring the horses and
coaches. The porter could not prevent a great officer like Lord
Hunsdon from going out with them; but he stopped Sir Robert. It
needed some exertion and some angry words from Lord Hunsdon to
cow the man; but this was accomplished, and Sir Robert, to his great
relief, found himself outside the gate in the raw air of the dim March
morning.
Not even yet were his difficulties over. Speeding from Richmond
as fast as he could, he was in Westminster by himself, and in a
friend’s house there, some time before the Lords of Council arrived
in their coaches. Learning, however, after they had arrived, that they
were holding a meeting in Whitehall Gardens to make final
arrangements for the proclamations of the new sovereign both in
Westminster and in the City, he thought it might be as well to try
again whether they would employ him for the service on which he
had set his heart. He sent them word, therefore, that he was in town,
and was waiting their pleasure. It was now past nine o’clock, and the
proclamations were to be at ten. The answer of the Council was a
request to Sir Robert to come to them immediately; and, as it was
conveyed with a kind of intimation that he would find them perfectly
agreeable now to his proposal, he hastened to attend them. He was
actually between the outer and the inner gate of Whitehall for this
purpose, when a word sent out to him by a friendly councillor made
him aware that the Council were deceiving him, and that, if he
appeared among them, he would be laid fast. Then he hesitated no
longer. Giving the Council the slip, and not staying for the
proclamations or for anything else, he took horse at once, somewhere
near Charing Cross, and was off for his tremendous ride northwards.
He himself tells us the successive stages of his ride. He was at
Doncaster that night, a distance of 155 miles from London; next
night he reached a house of his own at Witherington in
Northumberland, about 130 miles from Doncaster; leaving
Witherington on Saturday morning, he accomplished some 50 miles
more before noon that day, bringing him to Norham, close to the
Tweed; after which there were still about 65 miles of that Scottish
portion of his ride which lay between Norham and Edinburgh. He
had hoped to be at Holyrood House before supper-time; but his
dizziness and loss of blood from the fall from his horse in this last
portion of his journey delayed him, as we have seen, for an hour or
two.
After his first abrupt salutation of King James in Holyrood that
Saturday night, there was naturally a longish colloquy between them.
In the course of this colloquy the King’s first excitement of joy was
damped for a moment by the reflection that the messenger had come
of his own motive merely, and without letters from the English Privy
Council. The production of a sapphire ring by Sir Robert removed, he
tells us, all doubts. The ring, it appears, had been thrown to him out
of one of the windows of Richmond Palace, just before he left, by his
sister Lady Scroope; and one account makes it out that it had been a
gift by King James himself to Queen Elizabeth, and that Lady
Scroope took it off the withered finger of the Queen after her death,
to serve as a token that could not be mistaken. Sir Robert’s own
account does not quite imply this, but may be so interpreted. All the
members of the Hunsdon family, one gathers, were known to King
James as having been for some time active in his interest. It was late
before the colloquy ended, and Sir Robert was dismissed by the King
for his much-needed rest of some days, in or near Holyrood, in
charge of the Master of the Household, and under care of a surgeon.
Next day was Sunday; and, whatever whispers of the great event
there may have been round King James himself in Holyrood, it does
not appear that there was any hint of it that day among the
congregations of the lieges in the Edinburgh churches. It is hardly
possible that on the following day, when the proclamations of the
new sovereign were palpitating northwards through England, with
huzzas from town to town, in the very track of Sir Robert’s ride (he
had himself ordered them in Northumberland), the community of
Edinburgh could still have remained ignorant of what had happened.
There could be no public recognition of it, however, till the arrival of
the authorised envoys from the English Privy Council; and they did
not arrive,—the laggards!—till the morning of Tuesday, the 29th of
March. They were Sir Charles Percy, brother of the Earl of
Northumberland, and Thomas Somerset, Esq., one of the sons of the
Earl of Worcester; and they brought with them two documents. One
was a copy of the Proclamation of King James that had been made in
London and Westminster on the 24th. It was certified by the
signatures of the Lord Mayor of London, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Lord Chancellor Egerton, and twenty-seven more of the
noblemen, prelates, and knights of the English Council; and it
opened thus—“Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God to call to
his mercy out of this transitory life our Sovereign Lady, the high and
mighty princess, Elizabeth, late Queen of England, France, and
Ireland, by whose death and dissolution the Imperial crowns of these
realms foresaid are now absolutely, wholly, and solely, come to the
high and mighty prince, James the Sixth, King of Scotland, who is
lineally and lawfully descended from the body of Margaret, daughter
of the high and renowned prince, Henry the Seventh, King of
England, France, and Ireland, his great-great-grandfather,—the said
Lady Margaret being lawfully begotten of the body of Elizabeth,
daughter to King Edward the Fourth, by which happy conjunction
both the Houses of York and Lancaster were united, to the joy
unspeakable of this kingdom, formerly rent and torn by long
dissension of bloody and civil wars,—the same Lady Margaret being
also the eldest sister of Henry the Eighth, of famous memory, King of
England as aforesaid: We therefore, the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal of this realm, being here assembled, united and assisted
with those of her late Majesty’s Privy Council, and with great
numbers of other principal gentlemen of quality in the kingdom,
with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of London, and a
multitude of other good subjects and commons of this realm,
thirsting now after nothing so much as to make it known to all
persons who it is that, by law, by lineal succession, and undoubted
right, is now become the only Sovereign Lord and King of these
imperial crowns, to the intent that, by virtue of his power, wisdom,
and godly courage, all things may be provided for which may prevent
or resist either foreign attempts or popular disorder, tending to the
breach of the present peace or to the prejudice of his Majesty’s future
quiet, do now hereby, with one full voice, and consent of tongue and
heart, publicly proclaim that the high and mighty prince, James the
Sixth, King of Scotland, is now, by the death of our late Sovereign,
Queen of England, of famous memory, become also our only lawful
and rightful liege lord, James the First, King of England, France, and
Ireland, Defender of the Faith.” The other document was a missive
letter to King James, signed by nearly the same persons, and
expressing their profound allegiance to him individually, and their
desire to see him in England as speedily as possible. It contained,
however, this paragraph:—“Further, we have thought meet and
necessary to advertise your Highness that Sir Robert Cary is this
morning departed from hence towards your Majesty, not only
without the consent of any of us who were present at Richmond at
the time of our late Sovereign’s decease, but also contrary to such
commandment as we had power to lay upon him, and to all decency,
good manners, and respects which he owed to so many persons of
our degree; whereby it may be that your Highness, hearing by a bare
report of the death of our late Queen, and not of our care and
diligence in establishing of your Majesty’s right here in such manner
as is above specified, may either receive report or conceive doubts of
other matter than (God be thanked) there is cause you should: which
we would have clearly prevented if he had borne so much respect to
us as to have stayed for our common relation of our proceedings and
not thought it better to anticipate the same; for we would have been
loth that any person of quality should have gone from hence who
should not, with report of her death, have been able to relate the just
effects of our assured loyalties.” Both documents were read that day
in the Scottish Privy Council in Edinburgh; and their purport was
published for the general information.
What commotion in Edinburgh through the next few days! The
King’s leave-taking had to be hurried; and it was on Sunday the 3d of
April that, rising from his place in St. Giles’s Church after the
sermon, he made what had to pass as his farewell speech to all his
Scottish subjects. It was a speech intended to console them for their
grievous loss. “There is no more difference,” he said, “betwixt
London and Edinburgh, yea, not so much, as betwixt Inverness or
Aberdeen and Edinburgh; for all our marches are dry, and there be
no ferries betwixt them”; and, after dilating somewhat further on the
