1679. luke ogle, A.M., formerly min. of Ingram, and afterwards of Berwick-upon-Tweed, from which he was excluded by the operation of the Bartholomew Act 24th Aug. 1662. While resident in Berwick he served in the ministry at Ancroft, but was seized and imprisoned by the Governor of Berwick, Lord Widdrington, for six weeks. Being admitted to bail he was released, and confined to the town and its liberties. After getting free of his restraint he visited friends in England and also in Scotland, where he officiated at a communion, and was subsequently in­hibited by the Archbishop of St Andrews 19th Sept. 1671. Returning to his family in Ber­wick, he was again confined and banished the town. On this he went to London and waited on the Duke of Albemale, who offered his interest to procure him a bishopric if he would conform, otherwise he could render him no protection. Mr O. coolly replied, “the height of his ambition was only to live quietly and peaceably among his own people; if that could not be obtained, he must submit to Providence." Again he was imprisoned for some months, on pretence of a plot being discovered among Presbyterians in the south of England. Obliged to leave Berwick, he retired to his property at Bousden, and preached privately under many annoyances, till he was indulged here by the Privy Council 20th Sept. 1679, James Cockburn of Langton giving bond for himself and the parishioners, " that he shall not preach or dispense sacraments except in that parish." He was a prisoner at Wooler in 1685 for five weeks, which nearly cost him his life. On liberty being granted by King James in 1687, he returned to Berwick and minis­tered to a large congregation, receiving calls from the par. of Kelso and city of Edinburgh, but was disinclined to remove, and died in April 1696, aged 66. When suffering from his last illness he applied to the united Presb. of Chirnside and Dunse for supply to his church for some Sundays, and as he " had sometimes been very useful in their bounds, they appointed the same for four­teen following Sabbaths." To great learning he added much prudence and wisdom, and was an affectionate, faithful, and judicious preacher, who had the happy art of accommodating him­self to all classes of hearers.—[Presb., and Berwick Reg.
