CAMERONIANS , the name given to that See also:section of the Scottish See also:Covenanters (q.v.) who followed See also:Richard See also:Cameron (q.v.), and who were chiefly found among those who signed the See also:Sanquhar See also:Declaration in r680. Known also as " Society Men," " Sanquharians " and " Hillmen," they became a See also:separate See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church after the religious See also:settlement of 169o, taking the See also:official See also:title of Reformed Presbyterians in 1743. See also:Societies of Cameronians for the See also:maintenance of the Presbyterian See also:form of See also:worship were formed about 1681; their testimony, " The Informatory Vindication," is dated 1687; and they quickly became the most pronounced and active adherents of the covenanting faith. Holding fast to the two covenants, the See also:National See also:Covenant of 158o and the See also:Solemn See also:League and Covenant of 1643, they wished to restore the ecclesiastical See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order which had existed between 1638 and 1649, and were dissatisfied with the moderate See also:character of the religious settlement of 169o. Refusing to take the oaths of See also:allegiance to an " uncovenanted " ruler, or to exercise any See also:civil See also:function, they passed through a See also:period of trial and found some difficulty in maintaining a See also:regular See also:ministry; but in 1706 they were reinforced by some converts from the established church. They objected strongly to the proposal for the See also:union of See also:England and See also:Scotland, and were suspected of abetting a rising which took See also:place in the See also:west of Scotland in 1706; but there appears to be no See also:foundation for the statement that they intrigued with the See also:Jacobites, and they gave no trouble to the See also:government either in 1715 or in 1745. In 1712 they publicly renewed the covenants at Auchensauch See also:- HILL

Hill in See also:Lanarkshire, and in 1743 their first See also:presbytery was constituted at Braehead, while a presbytery was formed in See also:North See also:America in 1774. In 1863 the Cameronians, or Reformed Presbyterians, decided to inflict no penalties upon those members who had taken the oaths, or had exercised civil functions, and
consequently a few congregations seceded. In 1876 the See also:general See also:body of the Reformed Presbyterians See also:united with the See also:Free Church of Scotland, leaving the few seceding congregations as the representatives of the principles of the Cameronians. In the See also:British See also:army the first See also:battalion of the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) is directly descended from the " Cameronian guard," which, composed of Cameronians, was embodied by the See also:convention See also:parliament in 1689, and was afterwards employed to restore order in the See also:Highlands.
