The genuine Presbyterian position, on the other hand, was admirably defended by James Fergusson (1621-67), minister of Kilwinning, who was the author of sundry expositions of St. Paul's Epistles, and of A brief refutation of the errors of Toleration, Erastianism, Independency, and Separation (1652). he refused the offer of the Divinity professorship in Glasgow University, and is reckoned to have had "a peculiar faculty of making things intricate, plain and easy to be understood."
