| - John Forbes (c.1568–1634) was a Scottish minister exiled by James VI and I. He founded a Church of Scotland in Middelburg in the Netherlands. He was born about 1568, and was third son of William Forbes of Corse and Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander Strachan of Thornton. He graduated M.A. at St Andrews in 1583, and was settled in Alford in 1593. In November 1602 the General Assembly chose him as one of those whom the King might select for nominating commissioners from the various Presbyteries to Parliament. At Alford he came into conflict with the powerful sept of the Gordons, who were vigorous opponents of Protestantism, and when the Synods of Aberdeen and Moray excommunicated the Marquess of Huntly, and Huntly had appealed successfully to the Privy Council, Forbes was sent by these Synods to London to represent the case to King James. He was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of Aberdeen on 2 July 1605 contrary to the King's order. Of twelve Aberdeenshire ministers who were present ten afterwards admitted the illegal nature of the Assembly, but Forbes [and Charles Fearn, minister of Fraserburgh] having been summoned before the Privy Council, declined the Council's jurisdiction, on the ground that the Assembly had dealt wholly with spiritual matters. For this he was imprisoned at Blackness, tried for high treason, and banished the country. On 7 November 1606 he sailed from Leith for Bordeaux, and after spending a time with Boyd of Trochrig at Saumur, he proceeded to Sedan. Much of his work thereafter consisted in visiting the Reformed Churches and Universities on the Continent, in which were many Scots students and professors. In 1611 he became minister of the English congregation at Middelburg, Holland, and soon after he was offered release from his sentence, but upon conditions he could not accept. In 1616 he came to London, where he had an interview with the King, who promised to annul his banishment — a promise which was not fulfilled. In 1621 he was minister at Delft, but the hatred of his former ministerial brethren, some of whom were now bishops, instigated Laud and the English Government to procure his dismissal, and this was carried out in 1628. He died in Holland in 1634. (en)
- John Forbes, född omkring 1570 i Skottland, död 1634 i Delft, var en kalvinistisk teolog som i Sverige är känd under namnet Johannes Forbesius. Han var far till Patrick Forbes samt bror till Patrick och Arthur Forbes. Forbes blev landsförvisad under striderna mellan presbyterianerna och Jakob I, och begav sig 1606 till Republiken Förenade Nederländerna. Han kom till Sverige 1608 på kallelse av Karl IX för att hjälpa honom i hans planer på svenska kyrkans närmande till den reformerta kyrkan. En disputation anordnades på kungens befallning i Uppsala 17 november 1608, varvid Forbes lade fram 68 teser, en sammanfattning av den reformerta läran. Motsättningen gällde främst det ovillkorliga nådavalet. Den lutherska ståndpunkten försvarades i första hand av ärkebiskop Olaus Martini tillsammans med professorerna Claudius Opsopæus och Petrus Rudbeckius med sådan kraft, att Forbes ett par gånger blev svarslös, vilket gav upphov till det sedan ofta använda slagordet Ad hæc Forbesius nihil ("På detta hade Forbes intet att svara"). Forbes lämnade Sverige följande år, men inkallades åter av kungen 1610 och arbetade en tid tillsammans med Johan Messenius och kyrkoherden i Stockholm Johan Raumannus för att förena den lutherska och reformerta bekännelsen. På grund av svenska prästerskapets kraftiga angrepp på idén förföll saken, och Forbes lämnade landet. Han begav sig åter till Holland, där han blev engelsk predikant, först i Middelburg, sedan i Delft. Bland hans skrifter märks The saint’s hope (Middelburg 1608) och A treatise tending to the clearing of justification (Middelburg 1616). (sv)
