The targets were the Presbyterians who’d signed Covenants pledging their loyalty to their religion and Jesus Christ over the crowned head of state—a treasonous act in the eyes of the British government. The divide between church and state was already wide and deep by the time Charles II took the throne twenty years earlier. The gorge enlarged after the newly restored king reneged on his promises to the Scottish Presbyterians who’d supported his bid to reclaim the throne. Presbyterian ministers w...ere forced to sign an oath of allegiance, presenting them with a stark choice: accept the new situation or lose their livings. Up to a third of the ministry refused to sign. Many voluntarily abandoned their pulpits rather than wait to be forced out by the government. Most of the vacancies occurred in southwest Scotland, an area particularly strong in Covenanting sympathies. Some of the ministers took to preaching in the open fields in “conventicles,” often to thousands of worshipers armed with axes and pitchforks.
