In 1610 he was appointed one of the examiners of the Marquis of Huntly, to test the sinceritv of his pretended conversion (cf. Bannatyne Club Original Letters, p. 212). He strongly supported the episcopalian schemes of James I, and was rewarded for his compliance by being appointed one of the new court of high commission for Scotland in 1610, and was continued in it on its reconstruction in 1615 and 1634 (Baillie, Letters, i. 424).
