PEDEN, ALEXANDER (c. 1626-1686)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 37 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PEDEN, ALEXANDER (c. 1626-1686) , Scottish divine, one of the leading forces in the
Covenant
 
movement
 , was born at Auchincloich, Ayrshire, about 1626, and was educated at Glasgow University. He was ordained minister of New Luce in
Galloway
  in 166o, but had to leave his parish under Middleton's
Ejectment
  Act in 1663. For 23 years he wandered far and wide, bringing comfort and succour to his co-religionists, and often very narrowly escaping capture. He was indeed taken in June 1673 while holding a conventicle at Knockdow, and condemned by the privy
council
  to 4 years and 3 months' imprisonment on the
Bass
 
Rock
  and a further 15 months in the Tolbooth at Edinburgh. In December 1678 he was, with sixty others, sentenced to banishment to the American plantations, but the party was liberated in London, and
Peden
  made his way north again to
divide
  the remaining years of his
life
  between his own country and the north of Ireland. His last days were spent in a cave in the parish of Sorn, near his birthplace, and there he died in 1686, worn out by hardship and privation.
See A. Smellie, Men of the
Covenant
 , ch. xxxiv.
