His banishment lasted from See also:September 1636 to See also:February 1638, and the greater number of his published Letters belong to this See also:period of his See also:life. He was See also:present at the See also:signing of the See also:Covenant in Edinburgh in 1638, and at the See also:Glasgow See also:Assembly of the same year he was restored to his See also:parish. In 1639 he was appointed professor of divinity in St See also:Mary's College, St See also:Andrews.

church of St Andrews. He was sent up to See also:London in 1643 as one of the eight commissioners from See also:Scotland to the See also:Westminster Assembly. Remaining at his See also:post over three years, he did See also:great service to the cause of his party. In 1642 he had published his Peaceable and Temperate Plea for See also:Paul's Presbyterie in Scotland, and the sequel to it in 1644 on The Due Right of Presbyteries provoked See also:Milton's contemptuous reference to " See also:mere A. S. and Rutherfurd " in his See also:sonnet On the New Forcers of See also:Conscience under the See also:Long See also:Parliament. In 1644 also appeared Rutherfurd's Lex Rex, a Dispute for the Just See also:Prerogative of King and See also:People, which gives him a recognized place among the See also:early writers on constitutional See also:law; it was followed by The Divine Right of Church See also:Government and See also:Excommunication (1646), and See also:Free Disputation against Pretended See also:Liberty of Conscience (1648), characterized by Bishop See also:Heber as " perhaps the most elaborate See also:defence of persecution which has ever appeared in a See also:Christian See also:country." Among his other See also:works are the Tryal and See also:Triumph of Faith (1645), See also:Christ Dying and See also:Drawing Sinners to Himself (1647), and Survey of the Spiritual See also:Antichrist (1648), In 1647 he returned to St Andrews to become See also:principal of the New College there, and in 1648 and 1651 he declined successive invitations to theological chairs at Harderwijk and See also:Utrecht. After the Restoration in r66o, his Lex Rex was ordered to be burned. He was deprived of all his offices, and on a See also:charge of high See also:treason was cited to appear before the ensuing parliament. His See also:health utterly See also:broke down, and he See also:drew up, on the 26th of February 1661, a Testimony, which was posthumously published. He died on the 23rd of the following See also:March.
