See also:CAMERON, See also:JOHN (1579–1623) , Scottish theologian, was See also:born at See also:Glasgow about 1579, and received his See also:early See also:education in his native See also:city. After having taught See also:Greek in the university for twelve months, he removed to See also:Bordeaux, where he was soon appointed a See also:regent in the See also:college of See also:Bergerac. He did not remain See also:long at Bordeaux, but accepted the offer of a See also:chair of See also:philosophy at See also:Sedan, where he passed two years. He then returned to Bordeaux, and in the beginning of 1604 he was nominated one of the students of divinity who were maintained at the expense of the 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, and who for the See also:period of four years were at See also:liberty to prosecute their studies in any See also:Protestant See also:seminary. During this period he acted as See also:tutor to the two sons of Calignon, See also:chancellor of See also:Navarre. They spent one See also:year at See also:Paris, and two at See also:Geneva, whence they removed to See also:Heidelberg. In this university, on the 4th of See also:April 16o8, he gave a public See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of his ability by maintaining a See also:series of theses, De triplici Dei cum Homine Foedere, which were printed among his See also:works. The same year he was recalled to Bordeaux, where he was appointed the colleague of Dr See also:Primrose; and when See also:Francis See also:Gomarus was removed to See also:Leiden, Cameron, in 1618, was appointed See also:professor of divinity at See also:Saumur, the See also:principal seminary of the See also:French Protestants.
In 162o the progress of the See also:civil troubles in See also:France obliged Cameron to seek See also:refuge for himself and See also:family in See also:England. For a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time he read private lectures on divinity in See also:London; and in 1622 the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)

- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
king appointed him principal of the university of Glasgow in the See also:room of See also:Robert See also:Boyd, who had been removed from his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in consequence of his adherence to Presbyterian-ism. Cameron was prepared to accept See also:Episcopacy, and wascordially disliked for his adherence to the See also:doctrine of passive obedience. He resigned his office in less than a year.
He returned to France, and lived at Saumur. After an See also:interval of a year he was appointed professor of divinity at See also:Montauban. The See also:country was still torn by civil and religious dissensions; and Cameron excited the indignation of the more strenuous adherents of his own party. He withdrew to the neighbouring See also:town of See also:Moissac; but he soon returned to Montauban, and a few days afterwards he died at the See also:age of about See also:forty-six. Cameron See also:left by his first wife several See also:children, whose See also:maintenance was undertaken by the Protestant churches in France. All his works were published after his See also:death.
His name has a distinct See also:place in the development of Calvinistic See also:theology in See also:Europe. He and his followers maintained that the will of See also:man is determined by the See also:practical See also:judgment of the mind; that the cause of men's doing See also:good or evil proceeds from the knowledge which See also:God infuses into them; and that God does not move the will physically, but only morally, by virtue of its dependence on the judgment of the mind. This See also:peculiar doctrine of See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace and See also:free-will was adopted by See also:Amyraut, See also:Cappel, See also:Bochart, Daille and others of the more learned among the Reformed ministers, who dissented from See also:Calvin's. The Cameronites (not to be confused with the Scottish See also:sect called See also:Cameronians) are moderate Calvinists, and approach to the See also:opinion of the Arminians. They are also called Universalists, as holding the universal reference of See also:Christ's death, and sometimes Amyrald= ists. The rigid adherents to the See also:synod of See also:Dort accused them of Pelagianism, and even of See also:Manichaeism, and the controversy between the parties was carried on with See also:great zeal; yet the whole question between them was only, whether the will of man is determined by the immediate See also:action of God upon it, or by the intervention of a knowledge which God impresses on the mind.
