Henry's great-great grandfather, John Livingston, didn't want to be a minister; he wanted to be a doctor. He'd finished his masters degree from the University of Glasgow in 1621, and told his father he wanted to go to France to study medicine. His father said no, so John had to do some rethinking, which he decided to do in a cave. By the end of the day he had convinced himself that his only chance for salvation would come from the ministry. "Upon this, I laid aside all thoughts of France, and medicine, and land, and betook me to the study of Divinity."
