Excerpt from The Confessions of Faith and the Books of Discipline of the Church of Scotland, of Date Anterior to the Westminster Confession: To Which Are Prefixed, a Historical View of the Church of Scotland From the Earliest Period to the Time of the Reformation, and a Historical Preface, With Remarks I am the more particular in referring to these writers of undoubted authority, as givmg weight to the unani mous consent of Scottish authors, and indeed of all tradition whatsoever, that the Christian religion was established in our land by royal authority, in the seventh year of the emperor Severus, by Paschasius, a Sicilian, who found the people wonderfully predisposed to the reception of the truth. This year Archbishop Usher hath determined to be the year 199 or 200, and not 203, as fixed in those traditionary verses cited by Fordon and Major, by which the memory of this blessed event was preserved.
