Five Articles of Perth

King James VI of Scotland

The Five Articles of Perth was an attempt by King James VI of Scotland to impose practices on the Church of Scotland in an attempt to integrate it with those of the Church of England.[1] This move was unpopular with those Scots who held Reformed views on worship, and with those who supported presbyterian church governance.
