Robert Leighton (prelate) : ウィキペディア英語版
Robert Leighton (bishop)

:''this article is about the 17th century scholar and preacher Robert Leighton. For other people with the same name, see Robert Leighton (disambiguation)''
Robert Leighton (1611 – 25 June 1684) was a Scottish prelate and scholar, best known as a church minister, Bishop of Dunblane, Archbishop of Glasgow, and Principal of the University of Edinburgh from 1653 to 1662. He was "noted for his Christian piety, his humility and gentleness, and his devotion to his calling".
==Early life==
Leighton lived through one of the most turbulent periods in Scottish history. His grandfather was a Pre-Reformation Catholic; his father, Doctor Alexander Leighton was tortured during the reign of King Charles I for his Presbyterian beliefs, after authoring a pamphlet ''Zion's Plea against Prelacy'' in which he criticised the church, condemning Bishops as "anti-christian and satanic". Robert became an Archbishop during one of the periods when the Church of Scotland was Episcopal.
Robert Leighton was born in London to Scottish parents in 1611.〔("Robert Leighton", The Leighton Library )〕 Robert Leighton's mother was Alexander Leighton's first wife. According to Gilbert Burnet, Leighton was distinguished for his "saintly disposition" from his earliest childhood, even despite the persecution of his family. In 1627 (before his father published his pamphlet) at the age of sixteen, Robert Leighton went to study at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with an MA in 1631.
Following his graduation, his father sent him to travel abroad, and he is understood to have spent several years in France, where he acquired a complete mastery of the French language. While there he passed a good deal of time with relatives at Douai who had become Roman Catholics, and with whom he kept up a correspondence for many years afterwards. Either at this time or on some subsequent visit he had also a good deal of intercourse with members of the Jansenist party. This intercourse contributed to the charity towards those who differed from him in religious opinion, which ever afterwards formed a feature in his character.〔
