with a spirit of prophecy; full of faith, hope, and charity, another Barnabas, another Boanerges, upright in life and pure from wickedness ; keeping fast to the reformed faith ; a stout maintainer of the most pure discipline; who, having suffered many things from the ire of prelates and fury of malignants, being thrust from his charge, shut up in prison; at length being set at freedom, he exercised, fulfilled and adorned the ministry committed to him by the Lord, in the worst of times, and, by a sweet triumph, drew rebellions souls unto Christ. At last, at the dawning of the day of liberty, he was removed into heavenly light, 6 October, the year of our Lord, 1688. Of his age 75. Here also lies his dearest spouse, Anna Murray, who running the course of her life, by unfeigned piety, unshaken patience, singular prudence, true Christian charily, worshipping God, bearing the cross of Christ, managing her lawful affairs, and helping the faithful in affliction, surrendered her soul to God, 25 October 1704. Of her age 84. In token of their perpetual respect, their six generous children an offspring very like their father, erected this monument for both their parents.

Presbytery. "Augt. llth. The Archprelate (Sharpe) came to St Andrews, and before he returned to Edinburgh he rilled honest Mr Alex. Moncriffs place at Scoonie, by intruding Mr Jo. Ramsay, a minister of Angus, in that parish ; none of the other heritors (Athernie and Finges) countenancing the intrusion, save Durie, the avowed enemy of Mr Moncriff. Mr Joshua Meldrum, min. of Kingorn, preached on the day of admission. After sermon ended, he took his promise to be faithfull in his charge of that flock, and ther was delivered to him the Bibell, the keys of the church doore, and the bell-tow." Moncreiff was released, but banished from his flock, and was compelled to take up residence at a distance of not less than ten miles from the seat of a Bishop, and not less than seven miles from a county town. For a time he lived in a quiet place in the Highlands, and, then, owing to the need of educating his children, he came to
131: 295: 493:"The king's majesty and estates of parliament, having considered the report of the lords of articles anent the process against Mr Alexander Moncrief, minister of Scoonie, and his own carriage before them, in owning his accession to the "Remonstrance" and "Causes of God's Wrath," do accordingly declare the said Mr Alexander to be for ever incapable of exercising any public trust, civil or ecclesiastic, and also discharge him of all public trust, civil or ecclesiastic, within this kingdom, until, in the next session of parliament, further order be taken concerning him, and discharge him in the meantime to go to the said parish." 456:
the punishment of intercommuning. When the sentence of intercommuning was passed upon any one, even his nearest relatives were prohibited, under severe penalties, from extending a friendly hand to him or ministering in any way to his needs or comforts. Sir Walter Scott speaks of the sentence of intercommuning as the work of the "Prince of the Power of the Air." Moncrieff had this awful sentence pronounced upon his head. For 27 years he was buffeted and driven from place to place, having many hairbreadth escapes, and if not beaten with many stripes, he certainly had many hardships to endure.

circumstances, as to the path of duty. There were good Christian men arrayed on both sides." It was to the Protesters that Moncrieff chiefly attached himself, although in many particulars we find him acting an independent part. In common with the Protesters he was willing to submit to the Protectorate of Cromwell. Yet we find him suffering from the annoyance of Cromwell's soldiers. "1652. Jul. 25. Some days before they did beginne to quarter some of their foot upon Mr Alex. Moncriefe, min. of Sconie, this being the first time that ministers quartered either foot or horse in this shyre."

would meet them in his return, and pass through them unknown. When he was lodged in a remote part of the suburbs of Edinburgh, a captain with a party of the regular troops searched every house and chamber of the close, save the house where he lodged, into which they never entered, though the door was open. Wodrow records several other narrow escapes. Wodrow also records that when the pressure was greatest would split up his family. He did not leave Scotland although he had offers for example from Derry.
379:, and the ancient city gave the key note to the other Presbyterian churches in Fife. Before Moncrieff had been many weeks in Scoonie he showed that his leanings were entirely with the Reformation party. When the Church became broken up into factions he took the side of the stricter Presbyterians or Protesters, and as a Protester he was persecuted almost to the death. A contemporary account of his character is, that he was "a godly, sincere, and painful minister, and fixed to his principles." 1782: 319: 498:

When he had transported his furniture to a place at a competent distance, even there he got a second charge to remove to a further distance, till he was obliged to transport his family to a remote place in the Highlands.

closely watched where he went after preaching. Frequently he was hotly pursued ; and one time a party of horse came after him when fleeing, and, though attacked twice by them, by his own fortitude and resolution he got clear of them, and escaped. He records that at another time in a neighbouring congregation he was seized, and imprisoned some time, merely for praying for the king.

Remonstrance, either in "respect of matter, manner, or timing of it." But a milder sentence, through the intervention of the Earl of Crawford, satisfied their Lordships. They discharged Mr Moncrieff having any employment, ecclesiastical or civil, in the parish of Scoonie for all time coming. They prohibited him from coming within three miles of Scoonie, and silenced him from preaching.

Moncrief seems to have been highly respected, by people in all walks of life and they plead on his behalf which softened the attitude of the government. His trial dragged on and after a tedious imprisonment, he fell sick, and obtained the favour of confinement to a chamber in Edinburgh. The parliament passed the following sentence upon him, on 12 July:

In return, what he got, on 23 August, was to be seized when petitioning according to law. He seems to have continued under confinement till 12 July; and everybody, and he himself expected to be hanged. 505:
