What was the main reason for the overthrow of Episcopacy in Scotland according to the chapter?

The main reason for the overthrow of Episcopacy in Scotland was the misgovernment by Charles and James, which scandalized religious individuals and led to the perception of Episcopacy as submissive to the arbitrary will of the monarch.

The disestablishment of Episcopacy in Scotland was primarily due to the misgovernment by Charles and James. Their rule was characterized by profligacy, corruption, broken promises, and acts of oppression, which scandalized religious individuals. This misrule was seen as being supported by the Church, which was perceived as submissive to the arbitrary will of the monarch rather than representing evangelical truth and apostolic order. The Revolution Settlement further cemented this change by establishing Presbyterianism as the form of church government in Scotland.
