Collection of seven National Covenants.
Scope and Contents
Three of the covenants, Adv.MSS.20.6.14, 20.6.15, and 20.6.19, were probably signed in Edinburgh. The remaining four were all subscribed locally; in each case, the local signatures are preceded by the signatures, presumably written in beforehand in Edinburgh, of various noblemen, lairds, burgesses, and ministers of the Tables. Those dated 1638 lack the Glasgow Determination; those dated 1639 include it.
