Tempus Necandi fuit aetas controversiae et pugnae in historia Scotiae inter Presbyterianum hominum pacti^[1] motum (plerumque in meridio-occidente civitatis) et armatas regum Caroli II et Iacobi VII vires. Hoc spatium, ab 1680 fere ad Revolutionem Gloriosam anni 1688, deinde Anglice the Killing Time a Roberto Wodrow insigniter appellatum est in libro The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland from the Restoration to the Revolution, annis 1721 et 1722 edito. Quod est eventus magni momenti in martyrologio Ecclesiae Scotiae.
