Sir George helped Mary Queen of Scots to escape from Lochleven in 1567, and at the end of the seventeenth century the Scottish historians stated that Queen Mary was the mother of Sir George's illegitimate son. <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_Burnet" title="Gilbert Burnet">Gilbert Burnet</a> states, in the manuscript copy of his 'History of his own Time' in the British Museum, that the rumour that Robert Douglas was Queen Mary's grandson was very common in his day, and that Douglas 'was not ill-pleased to have this story pass.' Wodrow (Analecta, iv. 226) repeats the tale on the authority of 'Old Mr. Patrick Simson,' and suggests that it was familiar to most Scotchmen. But the report may be a Whig fiction fabricated about Queen Mary to discredit the Jacobites of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Returning to Scotland, he was elected in 1638 member of the General Assembly, and in the following year was chosen for the second charge of the High Church in Edinburgh. In 1641 he was removed to the Tolbooth Church, and in July of the same year preached a sermon before the Scottish parliament. In the following year he was chosen moderator of the general assembly—a post he also held in 1645, 1647, 1649, and 1651—and in 1643 he was named one of the commissioners of the <a href="/wiki/Westminster_Assembly" title="Westminster Assembly">Westminster Assembly</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBickley1885–1900346-347_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBickley1885–1900346-347-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1644 he was chaplain to one of the Scottish regiments in England, an account of which he gives in his 'Diary'.

In the following year he was one of the ministers who waited on Charles II at <a href="/wiki/Dunfermline" title="Dunfermline">Dunfermline</a> to obtain his signature to a declaration of religion; but as this document reflected on his father, Charles refused to sign it. The result was a division in the Scotch church on the matter, Douglas being a leader of the resolutioners, the party which preferred to treat the king leniently.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBickley1885–1900346-347_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBickley1885–1900346-347-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Church of Scotland was now unhappily split into two contending sections.
