CALDERWOOD, DAVID Scottish divine and historian, was educated at Edinburgh, where he took the degree of M.A. in 1593. About 1604 he became minister of Crailing, near Jedburgh, and resolutely opposed the introduction of Episcopacy. In 1617, while James was in Scotland, a Remon strance, which had been drawn up by the Presbyterian clergy, was placed in Calderwood's hands. He was summoned to St. Andrews and examined before the king, but neither threats nor promises could make him deliver up the roll of signatures to the Remonstrance. The privy council ordered him to be banished from the kingdom for refusing to acknowledge the sentence of the High Commission. On Aug. 27, 1619, he sailed for Holland. During his residence in Holland he published his Altare Damas cenum (1623). Calderwood appears to have returned to Scot land in 1624, and he was soon afterwards appointed minister of Pencaitland, in the county of Haddington. His last years were devoted to the preparation of a History of the Kirk of Scotland, the ms. of which is in the British Museum. An abridgment was published in 1678. A digest of the complete work was published by the Wodrow Society (1842-49). Calderwood died at Jedburgh on Oct. 25, 165o.
