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.

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

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."

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."

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.

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:

The sentence of intercommuning was imposed against Moncrieff in 1675. Moncreiff was outlawed and estranged from human beings. Under threat of these punishments he was forced to lurk for years, hiding in corners, preaching only to a few who heard it at the peril of their lives. There are several
