In the suspension, Sir David Murray against Mr Alexander Trotter, minister of the new kirk of Twedmoore, and Patrick Tweedie, for temporal lands designed in a glebe;—the reason, That there were Temple or St John's lands in the parish, was answered, That these were not kirk-lands; the knights of St John's Hospital at Jerusalem, with their preceptor, being secular men. Whereto it was replied That they were under the vow of chastity, and those lands were excepted in the Act of Annexation, et exceptio firmat regulam., likeas in the Act anent Surrenders, at least, the king's agreement with my Lord Torphichen, they are all surrendered as kirk-lands,—the parish of Torphichen being excepted. But the Lords would hear it in their own presence.
