In 1605 he reached Aberdeen too late to take part in the Assembly, which met in defiance of the royal prohibition, but affirmed his adhesion to all its Acts. He was summoned before the Privy Council, and dismissed on promis- ing more moderate behaviour in future. On 27th June 1617 he signed, in name of fifty-four others, a protest against a pro- posed Act of Parliament which sought to make the King supreme ruler of the Church. The bill was withdrawn, but Simson was summoned before the Court of High Com- mission, deprived of his charge, and con- fined to the town of Aberdeen. On acknowledging his offence he was allowed to return home.
