Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1689, i tukuna e ia he whakamaharatanga ki te kawanatanga, e whakaaro ana kia whakamana tahi i te presbytery me te episcopacy. Whai muri
Ko Killiecrankie i utua e te kāwanatanga ki te mahi ki ngā hapū o Highland. I tino mohio ia ki nga kaupapa o te Highland, a ko tana tohutohu whakaaro nui he painga nui ki te whakatutuki i te whakataunga. Mehemea, e ai ki a Macaulay, i whakamatautauria tana mahere (o te tohatoha i etahi mano mano paerangi i waenga i nga rangatira o te Highland) i te wa i taunakihia ai e ia, kaua e rua tau i muri mai, "ka taea pea te aukati i te toto toto me te raruraru". I te 5 o Poutu-te-rangi 1692, i whakahoutia ia ki te tari o te kaituhituhi rehita, engari i whakarerea e ia i te mutunga o te tau 1695. E ai ki te Hekeretari Johnstone, i mau ia 'ki te mahi kino i roto i tana tari o te kaitiaki i roto i nga mahi a te iwi me nga mahi takitahi.'
