In presence of the magistrates of the Canongate, Edinburgh, ‘William
Heriot, younger, baxter, became, out of his awn free motive will,
cautioner for George Heriot, that the said George sall remove furth
of this burgh and freedom thereof, within the space of fifteen days
next, and nae be fund thereintill, in case the said George associate
not himself to the religion of Christ’s kirk, and satisfie the kirk in
making of repentance, as effeirs.’--_C. C. R._
This was a part of the process of completing the Reformation.
