king's dominions, and not to return without licence from his majesty and council, under pain of death." He went to Rotterdam in March 1663, and ministered in the Scots Church there. In 1677, in consequence of repeated representations from King Charles, Brown and two others were ordered by the Dutch Government to withdraw from Rotterdam. He retired to Utrecht, but returned to Rotterdam in 1678, and died there in September 1679. Shortly before his death, he took part in the ordination of Richard Cameron. He was aged about 69, and apparently unmarried. His wealth consisted in his library. He bequeathed by his will, dated 2 April 1676, "one hundred guineas to the poor of the Scottish congregation, Rotterdam, after the selling of his books," "specially excepting the Complutensian Bible in six volumes, which he gave to his endeared friend and brother, Robert M'Ward." Works He was the author of many learned and elaborate works, among which were ‘Apologetical Relation of the Suiferings of Ministers of the Church of Scotland since 1660,’ 1665 ‘Libri duo contra Woltzogenium et Velthusium,’ 1670 ‘De Causà Dei adversus anti-Sabbatarios,’ 2 vols. 4to, 1674–76 ‘Quakerism the Pathway to Paganism,' 1678 ‘An Explanation of the Epistle to the Romans,' 1679 ‘The Life of Justification opened,' 1695. Other treatises were published between 1720 and 1792, and a manuscript history of the church is in the university library at Edinburgh. Of his treatise on justification a writer says: ‘It is by far our most thorough exposition and dismission of the doctrine it handles; and it is all the more to be prized because of the particular bearing it has on the new views which Baxter and others had begun to propagate, and which in some shape are ever returning among ourselves’.
