king. He was therefore ready to co-operate with James in curtailing the See also:powers of the Kill which encroached on the royal authority, and in assimilating the church of Scotland to that of England.

In 1610 he presided as See also:moderator over the See also:assembly in which See also:presbytery was abolished, in 1615 he was made archbishop of St Andrews and See also:primate of Scotland, and in 1618 procured the See also:sanction of the privy council to the Five Articles of See also:Perth with their ratification by See also:parliament in 1621.

In 1635 he was appointed See also:lord See also:chancellor of Scotland, an 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 which he retained till 1638. He was opposed to the new See also:liturgy as inexpedient, but when he could not prevent its introduction he took See also:part in enforcing it.

He escaped to See also:Newcastle, was deposed by the assembly on the 4th of See also:December on a variety of ridiculous charges, and died in London on the 26th of See also:November 1639, receiving See also:burial in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey.

His most considerable See also:work was The See also:History of the Church and State of Scotland (London, 1655, seq.). It displays considerable See also:research and sagacity, and even when dealing with contemporary events gives a favourable impression, upon the whole, of the author's candour and truth. The opposite See also:side can be studied in Calderwood's History.
Spottiswoode married See also:Rachel, daughter of See also:David See also:Lindsay, See also:bishop of See also:Ross, and besides a daughter See also:left two sons, See also:Sir John Spottiswoode of Dairsie in See also:Fife, and Sir See also:Robert, See also:president of
