Note 1 — SIGNING OF THE NATIONAL COVENANT IN GREYFRIARS CHURCHYARD 28th February 1638
Reading edition
Row and the younger M’Crie are apparently in error in stating that the covenant of 1580-81 was renewed in 1596. Long before that time, however, it had been assigned a place in the Book of Laureations of Edinburgh University, that it might be subscribed by the professors and students.
