JAMES (1556-1614) , Scottish reformer, See also:nephew of See also:Andrew Melville (q.v.), was See also:born on the 26th of See also:July 1556. He was educated at See also:Montrose and St Leonard's See also:College, St See also:Andrews. In 1574 he proceeded to the university of See also:Glasgow, of which his See also:uncle was See also:principal, and within a See also:year became one of the regents. When his uncle was appointed, in 158o, principal of the New (later, St See also:Mary's) College, St Andrews, he was transferred to the See also:chair of See also:Oriental See also:languages there. For three and a See also:half years he lectured in the university, chiefly on See also:Hebrew, but he had to flee to See also:Berwick in May 1584 (a few months after his uncle's See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile) to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape the attacks of his ecclesiastical enemy, See also:Bishop See also:Adam-son. After a See also:short stay there and at See also:Newcastle-on-See also:Tyne, and again at Berwick, he proceeded to See also:London, where he joined some of the leaders of the Scottish Presbyterian party. The taking of See also:Stirling See also:Castle in 1585 having changed the See also:political and ecclesiastical positions in the See also:north, he returned to See also:Scotland in See also:November of that year, and was restored to 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 at St Andrews. From 1586 to his See also:death he took an active See also:part in 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 controversy. In 1589 he was See also:moderator of the See also:General See also:Assembly and on several occasions represented his party in conferences with the See also:court. Despite his antagonism to James's episcopal schemes, he appears to have won 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's respect. He answered, with his uncle, a royal See also:summons to London in 16o6 for the discussion of Church policy. The uncompromising attitude of the kinsmen, though it was made the excuse for sending the See also:elder to the See also:Tower, brought no further See also:punishment to James than easy detention within ten See also:miles of Newcastle-on-Tyne. During his See also:residence there it was made clear to him by the king's agents that he would receive high See also:reward if he sup-ported the royal plans. Ins 1613 negotiations were begun for his return to Scotland, but his See also:health was broken, and he died at Berwick in See also:January 1614.
Melville has See also:left ample materials for the See also:history of his 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 from the Presbyterian standpoint, in (a) See also:correspondence with his uncle Andrew Melville (MS. in the library of the university of See also:Edinburgh), and (b) a See also:diary (MS. in the See also:Advocates' Library, Edinburgh). The latter is written in a vigorous, fresh See also:style, and 1s especially See also:direct in its descriptions of contemporaries. His See also:sketch of See also:John See also:Knox at St Andrews is one of his best passages.
As a writer of See also:verse he compares unfavourably with his uncle. All his pieces, with the exception of a libellus supplex " to King James, are written in Scots. He translated a portion of the Zodiacus vitae of Palingenius, and adapted some passages from See also:Scaliger under the See also:title of Description of the Spainyarts naturall. His Spiritual Propine of a Pastour to his See also:People (1598), The See also:Black Bastill, a lamentation for the See also:kirk (1611), Thrie ,may See also:kelp Counsell, give Twa be away, The Beliefe of the Singing Soul, See also:David's Tragique Fall, and a number of Sonnets show no originality and indifferent technical ability.
The Diary was printed by the See also:Bannatyne See also:Club in 1829, and by the See also:Wodrow Society in 1842. Large portions of it are incorporated in David See also:Calderwood's (1575–1650) History of the Kirk of Scotland (first printed in 1678). For the See also:life and times, see See also:- THOMAS
