JUDICIAL PROCEDURE, LACK OF STRONG CENTRAL AUTHORITY
"General Commission", Kirk-State Comission, 1592
Larner: “License for indiscriminate witch-hunt
Levack: “Not significant – not the central government behind witch-hunts // privy council responded to localities // only 6 commissions in total.
Result of King losing political battle with the kirk // Briggs: post 1592 witch-hunts had intellectual underpinning of kirk” – names put in a box and kirk dealt with the hunts
