Extract

The Church of Scotland, from which Episcopalians had departed in 1690, and Covenanters shortly thereafter, suffered further division in the eighteenth century. The Seceders broke off in 1733 and the Relief Presbytery in 1752. The Seceders split into Burghers and Anti-Burghers in 1747, and at the close of that century each of these bodies divided into New Light and Old Light. The Old Lights found their way back into the mainstream by means which need not concern us, while the two New Light bodies united in 1820 and in 1847 joined with the Relief Church to form the United Presbyterian Church.
