THOMAS (1708-1774) , Scottish divine, was See also:born at Clearburn, in the See also:parish of Duddingston, Midlothian, in 1708. He was educated at the university of See also:Edinburgh, and studied divinity first at a small theological See also:seminary at See also:Perth, and afterwards for a brief See also:period under See also:- PHILIP

In See also:September of the same See also:year he was admitted See also:minister of the parish of Carnock, See also:Fife, the See also:presbytery of See also:Dunfermline agreeing not only to sustain as valid the ordination he had received in See also:England, but also to allow a qualification of his subscription to the See also:- CHURCH

church's doctrinal See also:symbol, so far as it had reference to the See also:sphere of the See also:civil See also:magistrate in matters of See also:religion. Having on conscientious grounds persistently absented himself from the meetings of presbytery held for the purpose of ordaining one See also:Andrew See also:Richardson, an unacceptable presentee, as minister of See also:Inverkeithing, he was, after an unobtrusive but useful See also:ministry of ten years, deposed by the See also:Assembly of 1752 for maintaining that the refusal of the See also:local presbytery to See also:act in this See also:case was justified. He continued, however, to preach, first at Carnock, and afterwards in Dunfermline, where a large See also:congregation gathered See also:round him. His conduct under the See also:sentence of deposition produced a reaction in his favour, and an effort was made to have him reinstated; this he declined unless the policy of the church were reversed. In 1761, in See also:conjunction with Thomas See also:Boston of See also:Jedburgh and See also:Collier of Colinsburgh, he formed a distinct communion under the name of " The Presbytery of See also:Relief," —relief, that is to say, " from the yoke of patronage and the tyranny of the church courts." The Relief Church eventually became one of the communions combining to See also:form the See also:United Presbyterian Church. He died on the 19th of January 1774, His only See also:literary efforts were an See also:Essay on the Continuation of Immediate Revelations in the Church, and a See also:Practical See also:Treatise on Temptation. Both See also:works appeared posthumously (1774). In the former he argues that immediate revelations are no longer vouchsafed to the church, in the latter he traces temptation to the See also:work of a See also:personal See also:devil.
