Found, that though a minister's thirteen years possession of lands, as part of a parsonage, was a presumptive right, yet cedit veritati, and might be convelled by the heritor's producing his rights and infeftments; but the minister, after the thirteen years, coming in place of the heritor by a purchase, and continuing to be minister forty years, the Lords, before answer to the prescription for the church, appointed trial to be made, if the minister possessed as minister or heritor.

 Harcarse, (Ministers.) No 688. p. 194.
