Revolution Settlement

Revolution Settlement The settlement of the Church of Scotland under William and Mary is socalled. It was dictated by policy, and did not restore the platform of 1638, but adopted the ratification of 1592. Its object was to restore peace and order, to put an end to agitation, and by the appearance of moderation to curb extremes, to take away all pretext for violence, and induce all classes of the people to exhibit a loyal spirit to the new occupants of the British throne. SEE SCOTLAND, CHURCH OF.
