1913 webster
note: cameron and others refused to accept the "indulgence"
offered the presbyterian clergy, insisted on the solemn
league and covenant, and in 1680 declared charles ii.
deposed for tyranny, breach of faith, etc. cameron was
killed at the battle of airdmoss, but his followers
became a denomination afterwards called reformed
presbyterians who refused to recognize laws or
institutions which they believed contrary to the
kingdom of christ, but who now avail themselves of
political rights.
